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.

[AnnaMarlowe]

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?

[Just5minswithDacre]

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

[Just5minswithDacre]

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?

[KatieKaboom]

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

[StealthPolarBear]

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

[reader77]

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.

[AnnaMarlowe]

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?

[reader77]

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

[AnnaMarlowe]

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.

[reader77]

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.

[Just5minswithDacre]

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.

[AnnaMarlowe]

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".

[reader77]

Oh ok. I misread.

Bye then Just.

[AnnaMarlowe]

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

[Just5minswithDacre]

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

[reader77]

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

[Just5minswithDacre]

It's this cursed ability to read words Anna

[reader77]

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.

[KatieKaboom]

Royalty has arrived.

[reader77]

The cavalry! Huzzah!

I seem to have fallen into an alternate universe.

Help me...

[Just5minswithDacre]

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...
