That the "popular" posters on here are often rude.

[dancerchancer]

I won't mention names but some of them seem to be popular for....not a lot really. Certain people come to mind who have a reputation for being straight talking and funny but most of the time I don't see it. I find them rather disagreeable tbh. Is it just me?

You rent your clothes? Sounds practical.

Mary Thanks, didn't know it was in a 24-hr period.

Rend

I'll take rented

Don't settle for sloppy seconds Hully if gin had really cared she'd have rubbed ashes into her forehead and eyes to make them really sting and water.

Just saying...

good point skandi, but I am v humble so happy to make do with rented.

Why weren't there rainbows, tiaras and pac-man in any of my maths lessons? Why? Why?

[cries a bit]

Yeah you got me on the ashes. But Hully is very forgiving and noble. That's class that is - right there

And that ScrambledSmegs is a very helpful poster!

It can be rent. Some GF once tried to pull me up on my use of renting garments.

Soon put her right.

Oh everyone's right hurrah!

I was thinking, in the night, as you do, that when I first joined MN and saw lots of threads where people knew and chatted to each other, that it made me feel happy seeing people being friends, and made me think that when I had been around for a while, I'd have friends here too.

I wonder what makes the difference between feeling that, and feeling cross and left out and calling them quiches and bullies?

I think it's the same sort of person who doesn't like it when their friends have friends other than them - as if in some way this diminishes their own friendship.

Some people are lonely and seeing happy people reinforces that and they respond badly

Some people are just bloody difficult

That's a hard one, Hully

Can't help thinking they'd enjoy it more if they saw it as that and joined in. Nose cutting face spiting a bit?

Or not having the sense to go elsewhere if it's that annoying for them or if they only enjoy the stirring and attention.

Quiches?
Please say you meant to say that!

Or wot gin said.
Without the head scratching.

Me too Hully. This type of thread makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

I don't even have to be a real part of it, I'm happy to hover on the sidelines. I recognise names and I like the interactions between old MN friends.

I'd love someone to explain why they find it so irritating, for want of a better word.

quiches is a THING on here tiredvomm You young things with so much to learn.

were you once another, thornrose?

Funny isn't it Hully - I felt the same - took me ages to work out things like IPOAT and stuff but I never felt cross - it was nice that a site had long standing members - that made it feel like a place you could stick with

I still haven't made friends but I still like it fishing much

Maryyz I'm really sorry about your cat :( heartbreaking x

No, always been me and I've been here for years and years. I tend to fly under the radar and post fairly sporadically.

I know everyone though.

ghosty, I know your name. I'm sure you do have friends. You are being false modest now, aren't you?

were you gordylovessheep?
