Aibu...... To hand out grips

From reading MN this morning I fully expected on leaving the house to see people rushing around in a state of hysteria. To see sobbing, devastated people unable to look their daughters in the eye on the school run.

Nope.

Have a grip

Who's getting upset? Hmm

biscuits. This, basically. It's done. He won. The American public didn't like/trust Clinton enough for her to win. You can blame it on ignorance, racism, misogyny, whatever - that's fine. Discuss it and share your opinions in an adult manner. 'Shaking and crying', refusing to eat and scaring the shit out of your children is not an 'adult manner'. Not trying to,police things at all; just pointing out there is a very real difference between reacting and responding.

MitzyLefrouf · 09/11/2016 18:07

Your 'calm the fuck down' sure reads like someone who's upset. Not to mention the huffy faces. But as I say, take one of your grips and you'll be fine.......

Lewwat · 09/11/2016 18:09

I'm sorry, I should have worded it differently.

Would you kindly calm down.

I'm raising my eyebrow at your stupidity Grin not pulling huffy faces

OP posts:
Lewwat · 09/11/2016 18:10

Because you no, people needing to calm down is the whole reason I posted. Obviously you missed that

You going to bang on about that for another five pages, silent? Check your facts, Google Clinton's commitment to Israel and have a read of the atrocities committed there with the US Govt's support.

MitzyLefrouf · 09/11/2016 18:11

My stupidity? Aww diddums. I can tell that now you're really cross. You may even have stamped your feet.

Fear not, you have your much loved grip and I'll have my glass of wine and all will be well.

MitzyLefrouf · 09/11/2016 18:11

Because you no

I'm the stupid one? Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 18:12

I love how posters are now furious with the OP (and apparently myself) now - what happened to your consternation over Trump?!

MitzyLefrouf · 09/11/2016 18:13

I have a lot of consternation to go around. It's like when you pour water on a gremlin. It spawns.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 18:13

I'm off to start a parking thread.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 18:14

What happens if you pour wine on one?

MitzyLefrouf · 09/11/2016 18:15

Slightly pissed gremlins. Easier to dodge.

Lewwat · 09/11/2016 18:15

Thanks for mocking my spelling. Big of you. Make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Enjoy your Wine

Oh no you tied us up in knots with your logic! You're right I'd totally forgotten about trump because I can only think one thing at a time!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 18:18

Not convinced, mitzy Wasn't there a scene where they all got rat arsed and a bit scary?

PortiaCastis · 09/11/2016 18:20

Jess those dishes are turning at great speed. I'm closing the curtains !

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 18:22

portia. Huh? At great speed? Is that, er, usual?

PortiaCastis · 09/11/2016 18:26

Doesn't happen very often but have seen it before

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 18:27

portia You do realise there will be people on this thread who think you have a random plate-spinner standing outside your window?

PortiaCastis · 09/11/2016 18:28
Grin
HeyRobot · 09/11/2016 19:10

I can't stand the mn grips. You get a grip on something, it's not a thing to be handed out. YABU to not hand out rope, or a pole, or a handle, or Trump's neck

Lewat wrote Calm the fuck down

I think you should take your advice and run with it.

MitzyLefrouf · 09/11/2016 20:06

I apologise for mocking your spelling OP. It was petty of me. 💐

user1478551766 · 09/11/2016 20:17

OP was mocking everyone else, I don't see why you shouldn't mock back.
