To hate it when people use 'happily'?

[reader77]

It just irritates me so much. It's so smug and defensive and Arghhhhhh

I 'happily' let my dc blah blah

My dc 'happily' eats blah blah

I 'happily' looked after my friends dc until blah blah

Oh shut up you stealth boasting humble bragging moaner.

Ah Just I missed that. I don't like threads about how much better MN used to be.

reader you seem to be taking some replies a bit seriously. If you putout a thread mocking people (however lightheartedly) you have to be able to take a bit of lighthearted mocking in return surely?

Oh reader come on, it's okay. You're busted anyway

Did or did not your post over there result in this^ and a stream off pissed royalty marching over to tell us all of for not psychically understanding that your completely unfunny, miserable, aggressive sounding OP was supposed to be light-hearted?

It was great. Like the hey day of Pat Butcher and Peggy Mitchell

Ah Just I missed that. I don't like threads about how much better MN used to be.

Me neither much. But at least it gives the thin-skinned somewhere to take their grievances at 1.10 am eh?

The game is up, OP. Sherlock here has nabbed you in the act of.... what exactly?

What about 'gently'
I'd sit her down and gently tell her...big smile!

I have no idea what I'm busted for!

I wasn't mocking anyone; I find the self-congratulatory use of 'happily' annoying and smug.

So ner.

I was a little at defend really TBH. I don't really see what the OP needed defending from.

Accusations of late night grumpiness are unlikely (I presume) to have sent the OP to cry in a corner?

I didn't realise other people had come over here to defend me either! Thank you ha!  although really no need.

I've already quoted this in a previous post, but at the risk of repeating myself:

shut up you stealth boasting humble bragging moaner.

you don't think that could be perceived as a little mocking?

Nevertheless this is MN, you've got to take as good as you give.

Anna at what point have you got the impression that I'm crying in a corner? I'm baffled and amused.

I wonder if you're mightily cheesed off that a turn of phrase you say you use is seen by me to be smug and self-congratulatory.

Anna at what point have you got the impression that I'm crying in a corner? I'm baffled and amused.

FGS give up. She was saying that presumably you were NOT crying in a corner.

reader you entirely missed my point which was this:

You aren't crying in a corner and therefore don't need aggressively defending.

I'm not "mightily cheesed off" or (in any way) "taking this seriously".

Oh ok. I misread.

Bye then Just.

Just perhaps it's just you and me? Did we fall down a worm hole?

I'm starting to see how posters end up pining for better days

It feels like you are Anna. You're going on about it quite a lot.

It's this cursed ability to read words Anna

You still here Just?

It was just a silly rant. I thought others might join in with other words or phrases that annoy them and it would be jolly.

Apparently not. Good grief.

Royalty has arrived.

The cavalry! Huzzah!

I seem to have fallen into an alternate universe.

Help me...

It's all in the tone reader.

Morning Usual

I wasn't aware that your gloves were ever on. Or in fact that you own a pair of gloves...
