AIBU To feel a bit

Miffed that somebody has taken my mnn?

I know first world problems and all that but it doesn't feel right that there is another Regina out there for all but one letter. Then to be lied to about how long they have had it (thank you AS).

Totally prepared for lots of YABU get over it sad lass type posts. It's just that I like my nn and now I will have to change it.

Ahh Cooger no taking to heart here. I know MN and I know AIBU so I wouldn't have started this thread if I hadn't expected my arse handing to me.

I asked if AIBU I was told I was so I fully accept it. My apologise to the original Regina and once I have thought of a new nn I will be changing.

Wow.

OP you really need to get a life!

3 Flipping months! When it's a name drop a TV show from about 20 years ago, that you haven't even spelt correctly. Nor have you correctly capitalised the surname.

Poor for, OP!

Theresaflyinmyhouse · 09/08/2015 20:50

I genuinely never even look at people's usernames. Unless they say something dickish or I recognise their posting style.

Why would you give a shit about this? Come up with an original name if you want to be unique (and then just get over it because there are a lot of people on here).

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 09/08/2015 20:52

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 09/08/2015 20:54

btw the correct spelling is Phalange

Yellowbird54321 · 09/08/2015 20:54

I killed Fenner.

Reginafalangie · 09/08/2015 20:55

I know Aye I have BU on so many counts. My use of an already taken name, my innocent misspelling of said stolen name ( I never realised) and starting this thread when I didn't have a leg to stand on.

I have been so unreasonable I may use that as my next name.....obviously checking for other similar user names and ensuring I spell it correctly first. Smile

CrapBag · 09/08/2015 20:56

I get where you are coming from OP but I do think 3 months is not really long enough to establish a name for yourself.

I was on a thread once where someone claimed they had the name MikeCrapBag and had been that longer than me. It was the one and only time I had seen it and made no sense as he didn't actually call himself that. A little while ago I noticed a crapbags in chat. That was kind of annoying. I have been CrapBag for bloody ages now. Sticking an s on the end is just too similar.

Reginafalangie · 09/08/2015 20:57

Oh and Aye it is spelt F-O-R-M not for,

And regina, you are on top of that this evening. Form that is.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 09/08/2015 21:01

Or EmmaGellerGreen?

VastraRPhalange · 09/08/2015 21:02

I like Zing's suggestion. You've taken this well, OP, you must have a gigantic aortic pump.
For the record, I would rather live in the pocket of a sweaty giant than down his shower drain.

Reginafalangie · 09/08/2015 21:08

I generally don't post in AIBU but I do read them and I get frustrated when the OP is BU but just won't accept it. I promised myself that if I post
Ed her than I have to take what is sent my way even if it does make me weep in to my cuppa.

I have been found guilty of BU I have no option but to get on with finding a new nn.

Tbf it's hasn't been that bad and the only comments that really stung were the spelling ones. I genuinely didn't realise and spell checker is my life saver so I blame that.

Put it all behind you Regina. Make the next NN marvellous.

MrsBananaHammock · 09/08/2015 21:11

Ohhh there is a Crap Bag Grin

May all Friends inspired usernames unite!

Reginafalangie · 09/08/2015 21:15

I was going to go for BananaHammock before Regina but I couldn't spell it.

OP posts:
MrsBananaHammock · 09/08/2015 21:15

And yes to Sparkling, we will all be waiting for a new witty, original, inspired NN from you Op and then resist the urge to NC ourselves with a slight variant on yours just to wind you up

CoogerAndDark · 09/08/2015 21:16

I think I've seen a BananaHammock.
