The boss has really upset me

78 replies

candykane25 · 26/08/2016 13:07

The boss (well, she thinks she is in charge) here has really upset me by not listening to what I have to say and never agrees with my creative ideas.

Would I be unreasonable to walk into her room, squat down on the floor and wee on the floor?

Ooo we are teens now?

I must be an awesome teen to rent my own home, be married and have children

HeteronormativeHaybales · 26/08/2016 13:57

I'm with acasualobserver. Not hugely amused by these sorts of threads myself, but much less so by the people eagerly queueing up to deliver devastating put-downs instead of just, y'know, passing over the thread if it's so tedious.

HeteronormativeHaybales · 26/08/2016 13:58

And in case it didn't register, insert '(what they imagine to be)' in front of 'devastating' above ^^

LunaLoveg00d · 26/08/2016 14:03

Why do people do this? It's not cute or funny, it's just tedious.

Agree.

BolshierAryaStark · 26/08/2016 14:05

Ahhhhhh, I read it as a cat rather than a child pov.

Also agree. Not cute, or funny.

Soubriquet · 26/08/2016 14:05

Why do people comment on this they find unamusing and tedious?

It's quicker to just click off and ignore it

Kerberos · 26/08/2016 14:06

Jeez you lot are harsh today...

DeadGood · 26/08/2016 14:06

Sorry @liz70, missed the joke. Most heinous of me Blush

abbsismyhero · 26/08/2016 14:07

Its funnier if its from the cats pov

liz70 · 26/08/2016 14:10

It's okay, most people miss my crap jokes. Grin

BlancheBlue · 26/08/2016 14:12

Dull, boring, unimaginative thread - you do know so many people have tried these "from the child" threads to try and get into classics.

Bellyrub1980 · 26/08/2016 14:13

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

This has to be the most cryptic thread ever.

So the OP is actually the child of a regular poster?

Bellyrub1980 · 26/08/2016 14:14

Oh right, think I get it now

LeaveMyWingsBehindMe · 26/08/2016 14:29

After all the drama lately this could have been a lovely humourous thread

What drama? Where? Show me. I hate to miss drama.

On another note, lots of us know and love the famous, classic Cutted Up Pear thread and it can get a bit tedious to see the idea frequently rehashed in the hope of a funny thread, but we've been here for years and are a bit jaded and difficult to amuse these days.

Let's remember that the OP may not be an old timer, may never have seen this heard or done before and lots of the newish people reading might not have either.

There's really no need to be mean about it. If it doesn't float your boat just move along folks.

NKFell · 26/08/2016 14:32

What's tedious is people taking the time to post nasty things.

"Not cute" sounds like something from Mean Girls. I mean what is the intention other than to hurt the OP?! Bullies.

Sat in the glorious park with the smell of fresh doughnuts wafting by.

Well. This has certainly been interesting. I'm almost proud of my little thread. Such consternation!

I didn't even mean to get people riled up either! They did it all on their own.

For those confused I did post an explanation. It's not really about a child's POV. It's about how conflict is resolved. As if in my DD thinks it ok to wee on the floor cos she's naffed off with me, maybe I should try it?
Although I have to admit typos do cock upa lot of my posts Smile

Sorry it's not a cat or a dog.

Although my dog doesn't wee in a corner as a protest though.

PPs are right. Sorry for being rude to you, OP.

Enjoy the park!

Oh, and deadgood yes there is most certainly a Christmas board. It's in the Fun and Games topic I think. There's a bargain thread that is kind of lethal to the bank balance though so you have been warned.

Good god, are we scoring people now? The only people who look shit are those throwing it around.

OP - I find placing Lego on random steps of the stairs a food punishment for my boss. Make it as random as possible. Repeat any "language" that emerges, especially in front of granny.

Legz Grin

Unfortunately granny in this family is the bad influence when it comes to "language"

Oh wow. Is everyone on their period or what?

KentMum2008 · 26/08/2016 16:22

Ooh, the venom on this thread! Is everyone this bitchy in RL?! It was a joke, take it as such.

Marmite27 · 26/08/2016 16:28

Blimey, it's harsh around these parts at the moment.
