Thought of you and I do believe in Karma. Hope u get something good out of it xx

This is for u x Read till the end! I sent an angel to watch over you last night, but it came back and asked "why?" The angel said, "angels don't watch over angels!" twenty angels are in your world. Ten are sleeping, nine of them are playing and one is reading this message. The universe has seen you struggling with some things and says it over. a blessing is coming your way. If you believe in Karma send this message to 14 friends including me, if I don't get it back I guess I'm not one of them. As soon as you get 5 replies, someone you love will quietly surprise you... Not joking. Pass this message on. Please don't ignore it. you are being tested and Karma is going to fix two big things tonight in your favor. If you believe in Karma drop everything and pass it on TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. DON'T BREAK THIS. SEND THIS TO 14 FRIENDS IN 10 MINUTES IT'S NOT THAT HARD. WHOEVER SENT THIS TO YOU MUST CARE ABOUT YOU

Just hold your finger on it n it should say forward

STOP IT NOW Angry

It does sound like the kind of thing you might be into until you're about 15. I never get anything like this. I must only know sensible people. Or maybe just not very many people.

I've seen three very well educated (I mean, PhD in a hard science, a law degree and so on..they're not daft) people on my FB post the 'six books' scheme. I did comment about the illegality of pyramid schemes and how the maths doesn't really work out in anyone's favour. I couldn't believe that they would be taken in by it. Clearly, they're not alone!

"Please put this as your status for at least 1 hour if you or someone you know has an invisible illness"
I would be so tempted to respond, "or just phone them instead and offer to do a noxious household chore for them by way of showing your support. If anyone's interested, I am hypothyroid, and my wheelie bin needs washing out."

Honestly hotdiggedy the person who sent me this guff IS eminently sensible - except, apparently, when it comes to angels prancing around my head! She is in her 50's, works in medicine, travels extensively etc etc - and to look at her you wouldn't know she was affected by superstitious nonsense. If these people came with a warning sign tattooed on their heads life would be SO much easier!

Please copy and paste this as your status if you know someone, or have heard of someone who knows someone that may know someone who knows anyone. If you don’t know anyone, or even if you’ve heard of anyone who doesn’t know anyone that doesn’t know someone, then still copy this. It’s important to spread the message. Oh, and the hearts.

hotdiggedy · 04/08/2016 01:15

Hah! A bloodydifficultwoman :)

Actually, there is someone who posts the whole ' please share if you know someone who has....

and then i see the 'im a beautiful woman, if know 5 beautiful women nominate them here and then .....cant remember the rest. Well, noone has nominated me for anything (boo hoo) but I mostly just ignore that stuff.

I should be asleep but got reading this thread and have been in fits of laughter and have quite unsettled the cat.

"Most people who read this won't be brave enough to share it" - oh fuck off Angry

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 04/08/2016 07:03

I know Olennas. I think they've got the words 'brave' and 'terminally stupid' somewhat mixed up!
Woken this morning to 2 dog challenges, one Bible quote (some guff about power and beauty of spirit!), one nature challenge and some utter fuckwit trying to explain why Trump is a good thing Angry

It may very well be time to start blocking some people!

Has anyone mentioned 'Let's see how many people have actually read the tedious waffle above, if you have post a one word reply describing me'

I can't reply because 'attention seeking wanker ' is three words Grin

CuttedUpPear · 04/08/2016 07:24

The latest cancer awareness one going around is "post the number of tattoos you have and say ...and I'm proud". Of course without mentioning that you are talking about tattoos.

I feel like throttling the friend who sent it to me. The post makes much of the all-girls-together-squealy-fun-secret vibe of the whole brainless idea and what a fantastic buzz it was when we all [sic] posted statuses about the colour of our bras.

I really want to reply with 'and how exactly is this going to help anything?' but I am trying to keep my dignity.

suharding · 04/08/2016 07:29

Saw this on Facebook yesterday...

🙋
So sad... Please put this as your status if you have dated, known, work with or are related to, married to (or divorced from) or have children with someone who suffers from being a fucking idiot. We all need to understand, being a fucking idiot is real and must be taken seriously. You could be sitting next to a fucking idiot right now. There is still no known cure for being a fucking idiot, and sympathy does not help. Sometimes a piece of 2 by 4 to the back of the head helps, but not a lot. But we can raise awareness! 53% won't repost this because they don't know how to copy and paste!!
Show that you care..

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 04/08/2016 07:30

Yes Heru - well remembered! Haven't seen one of those for a while. Last one was 'one word on how we met'. Felt like putting 'drunk under the table with my knickers round my ears!' - but I didn't Grin

I really want to reply with 'and how exactly is this going to help anything?' but I am trying to keep my dignity It's a hourly daily battle for me!

The one I dislike at the moment is the one that starts 'girls can be mean' or something and the poster posts several pictures of themselves and challenges a friend to do the same. Because 99% of people's Facebook photos aren't already vacuous selfies Hmm

MephistoMarley · 06/08/2016 07:39

Oh it's the 'some girls are mean' bit that pisses me off the most

Shenanagins · 06/08/2016 07:50

I have s friend who keeps posting this vacuous shite and somehow despite never liking or copying and pasting this, I never get culled despite all the ever present threats to do do. Maybe I'll just have to bother my arse to do so instead!

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 06/08/2016 09:24

I never 'like' it or share it either - sometimes when the devil takes me and it's a particularly stupid thing I link to HoaxSlayer - that seems to drive them insane with indignation so that might be worth a try! Grin
