To actually be happy that I was right about a troll

Reported my first thread which was becoming more unbelievable, and was indeed a troll. Usually these things go over my head completely!

PageStillNotFound404 · 17/03/2016 09:56

I posted on that one too, stop. Clearly I'm just a gullible fucker.

The one asking for advice on how to help her?

That was a troll? Dds

FFs not dds Grin

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 17/03/2016 09:59

I am gullible fucker too Grin

iamtotallyserious · 17/03/2016 10:03

That is awful, though I did suspect as much. What is wrong with people.

YouMakeMyDreams · 17/03/2016 10:03

I am getting gar better at spotting them now too. Only seen the op of the motor bike accident but am confused as to how there was suddenly a wife as the op wad home with his child asleep? Confused and she called his mum so we're the whole family allegedly (including a small child) colluding in his affair? That story doesn't even make sense.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 17/03/2016 10:05

you know what it was such a sad tale, I am glad it was a troll! I would rather have a sad twat sat beind their screen, and 5 mins of tears for me, than a story that tragic!

yeah and anyone that wants to twist with bereaved people, well they have ishoos and are to be pitied

Buzzardbird · 17/03/2016 10:07

I reported three last night and I was only on here for a short while. Someone was having the troll version of the time of their life.

sad sad little twats arnt they

EarSlaps · 17/03/2016 10:22

Sorry OP but I don't believe a word of your story, I think you're making it up Grin.

[awaits first post deletion for troll hunting...]

I really don't understand trolls. I'm guessing most are probably to be pitied as there must be a lot of shit going on in their lives to want to make these things up.

I wonder if they realise how much hurt it can cause?

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 17/03/2016 11:20

I answered a troll thread yesterday, the one about a woman in an abusive relationship who had an affair. Should have known better really Confused I really wish they'd just FTFO.

Didn't realise that friend with cancer one was a troll - honestly what a thing to troll about. That is upsetting and triggering for people.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 17/03/2016 11:22

I was deleted for trollhunting t'other day too Blush but I mean honestly, some of these threads! I wonder if anything's real tbh. Especially after Iwashappy. I think some of these trolls need serious help.

LagunaBubbles · 17/03/2016 11:28

Aw was that a troll? Never got to the good bit either about a wife! What made you suspect OP?

Buzzardbird · 17/03/2016 11:38

There was a really nasty one last night. Luckily it didn't last very long. There were some pointless ones too.

What! The motorbike one was a troll!? I didn't get to the wife bit though, hardly believably when he had custody of his daughter and the OP had been with him for 3 years, about to move in and hung out with his family. Well it started believable.

Which cancer one? The one that asked how they can support a friend who has lost someone or a different one?

PageStillNotFound404 · 17/03/2016 11:44

The cancer troll posted as one half of a gay couple whose best female friend was dying of breast cancer.

LunaLunaLovegood · 17/03/2016 11:47

I read them and think 'ooooh I must tell DH he'll never believe this' then I think hmmm maybe I shouldn't either then....

WonderingAspie · 17/03/2016 11:49

Thanks page, not the one I was thinking of, which is still there.

feellikeahugefailure · 17/03/2016 11:49

The vegetable name one was so obvious. I don't click on lots of threads these days just from the title alone

JanetOfTheApes · 17/03/2016 11:51

I did feel a bit smug about motorbike wife troll, after being told off by gullible posters on the thread for pointing out that the whole thing was bizarre, long before the reveal.

TheOptimisticPessimist · 17/03/2016 11:54

Ah I started reading that thread but didn't go back to it before to was deleted.

I did see the very brief 'I made my son strip naked and apologise to a girl he insulted one' (was it in feminism chat?) which was just mind blowingly ridiculous.

icanteven · 17/03/2016 11:55

Dammit. I wandered off before the wife update. I suppose that would have been a step too far for us to believe, but it would still have been fun to be sucked in for a bit.

I wonder if anyone has ever come across a novel that had had its plot "tested out" on Mumsnet a year or two earlier? Some of the more elaborate constructions must SURELY be written with that in mind?
