If you are looking to blame someone for the result...

Try this nice little trick...
Identify the person/group you hold responsible and point at them...

Now count the fingers......You have one finger pointing at the object of your anger...AND THREE FINGERS POINTING BACK AT YOURSELF

Now you know who is really to blame... it's actually quite good as it works in every situation when you are blaming someone.

Are you Catholic OP?

FairNotFair · 28/06/2016 09:37

Some of you will scroll past and ignore this. But SOME OF YOU ARE NOT HART-LESS BASTARDS. Cut and paste if you think the England team should spend more time looking after kittens.

See, Paradise? I've done what you said because I'm a lovely, lovely person who is not at all suggestible; oh no - however, I am a little concerned about the welfare of said kittens in the care of the England team... Hmm

Do you laugh hysterically at Christmas cracker jokes, OP?

Inertia · 28/06/2016 09:47

Well, I've just tried it.

I've got my index finger pointing at a load of gullible racists, my thumb pointing upwards, and my other three fingers folded through 270 degrees so they point to the far right. That sounds like a pretty reasonable apportioning of the blame to me.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 28/06/2016 09:50

What a load of crap! I'm sure the bloke who rammed his car into the back of mine this morning because he was texting instead of watching the road would agree with you though OP. Totally my fault Hmm

PaulAnkaTheDog · 28/06/2016 09:54

When somebody assumes something to do you tell them 'When you assume you make an ass out of u and me?'

Seriously though, what a load of guff.

Bet Gary Lineker's choking on his crisps!

We can live in hope.

God I haven't heard that wanky 'fingers pointing back at you' since I was at school in the 70s Shock

Has it been rehashed on Facebook or something OP?

redshoeblueshoe · 28/06/2016 10:02

I am Roy Hodgson
Its all my fault.
At least I have done the decent thing unlike some other people

CaptainBrickbeard · 28/06/2016 10:03

I thought Leave voters were annoyed that everyone is calling them stupid? Surely perpetuating this kind of vacuous twaddle somewhat reinforces the perception?

CantFeelMyFace · 28/06/2016 10:13

Op, (I think) this was an attempt to point out that we all need to be introspective as a country about how we have landed in this mess. I certainly will take it on board but just for your own notes-it probably wasnt a good idea to post in AIBU i.e the more aggressive end of the MN spectrum Grin Do try and have a nice day and not worry too much about what people are saying about your post on an internet forum Brew

Shouldwestayorshouldwegonow · 28/06/2016 10:16

I think Roy and Jeremy should swop jobs. Couldn't be any worse than it is now.

Op your post is insane by the way.

RepentAtLeisure · 28/06/2016 10:23

Yes, everything shitty that happens to someone is all their fault because of how they need to fold some fingers back in order to point. Facepalm.

SoupDragon · 28/06/2016 10:28

Op, (I think) this was an attempt to point out that we all need to be introspective as a country about how we have landed in this mess.

Personally, I think it was an attempt to be goady.

Heidi42 · 28/06/2016 10:28

yus sparepants and the person -granny greyballs who should no longer drive and is senile-who rammed into the side of me and my insurance company who are all just trying to not investigate it and whitewash it to a 70/30 split bc that is what a court once said are all blaming me too, sorry for rambling I am bitter. I hope your claim goes better than mine

PaulAnkaTheDog · 28/06/2016 10:34

SoupDragon yup! Not the first I don't think either. I'm pretty sure this was the 'Parking on a bridge with my big referendum car sticker' poster.

Helmetbymidnight · 28/06/2016 14:47

DH blames Harry Kane. I tried the three fingers back at him but he wasn't having it all.

JudyCoolibar · 28/06/2016 14:54

Cantfeelmyface, I'm sure you're being unnecessarily charitable in relation to this particular OP.

I tried pointing at my phone in lieu of pointing at OP whom I hold fully responsible for her post. I found my other three fingers were pointing at a 3 year old sitting behind me on the bus and to my right. However, I resisted the temptation to blame her for OP's twattiness.

WellErrr · 28/06/2016 14:58

What a load of shit.

ParadiseCity · 28/06/2016 15:00

I'm going to get a giant foam hand on a stick like they used to have on Gladiators. Then I can point at people and avoid the three fingers pointing back at me.

Also I could advertise golf sales too.

Actually I might write on the sign

GOLF

adrianabelshaw · 28/06/2016 16:01

thanks for the advice, I appreciate that.

PurpleDaisies · 28/06/2016 17:56

Do you think this thread might not have gone the way the op expected?

Helmetbymidnight · 28/06/2016 18:00

Well she can only blame herself...no wait...it was me apparently

aintnothinbutagstring · 28/06/2016 18:15

OK I've tried your little trick OP, sorry to say it didn't work.
