It seems like this is used about everything now.

AIBU to wonder why nobody is ever just a bit miffed or slightly put out anymore?

And what happens to the fuming, heartbroken ragers who get so angry about an innocuous comment from a teacher or a sideways glance on public transport when something really bad happens? Do their heads actually explode?! Confused

Not ROTFL at this hilarious thread at all, oh no. Confess to being amused though Grin

Ok help me, wise people of MN - I asked my colleague to get me a cappuccino when he went out and he's brought me back a latte. Should I be devastated, or heartbroken? I just can't seem to work it out.....

I'm not sure, but I do think you should log it with 101.

BitOutOfPractice · 29/11/2016 12:06

I am seething and fuming OP that you have omitted to mention those of us who are regularly devestated and distraught

Fenella I'm assuming you have logged this incident with the police?

Liiinoo · 29/11/2016 12:11

And what about people who 'want to tear them a new one' for some trivial slight? It's a vulgar, nonsensical phrase never used anywhere but MN, no? Head tilt.

Quizteam, Oi'm foomin at you taken the piss outta East Anglians

Visiting a farm in East Anglia, I was told there were several 'Oooos'
in a barn. "Ooos?" I repeated. "Yes, half a dozen Ooos"

I thought perhaps we just do not have Oooos in Yorkshire.
Have since realised that we actually do.

I like to use a favourite Scottish word to express disappointment/ fed-up ness: "scunnered", feel free to adopt it, I am not horrified by cultural appropriation.

GinIsIn · 29/11/2016 12:23

You are right. He would NEVER have done this if I were a man. Logging it with 101 now. I feel SICK WITH RAGE. Does one call NHS Direct for sick with rage, or do I need A&E?

Does one call

Oooos? Are these of the moo variety Overthegardengate? 15 years in Norfolk and this is a new one.

Tiggles · 29/11/2016 12:34

PErsonally I blame the teachers - it's their love adoration of WOW words you know.

He's a misogynist. I suggest you claim your free half hour with a shit hot lawyer (once as already suggested you have logged the incident) ASAP.

Soubriquet · 29/11/2016 12:37

I'm shocked and appalled at this thread

You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves

Smile
Soubriquet · 29/11/2016 12:38

That was supposed to be Grin not a smile

Passive aggressive bastard

pregnantat50 · 29/11/2016 12:38

I am devastated by this thread

GinAndTunic · 29/11/2016 12:38

It's emotional abuse, it is, Fenella. Does he not know that you have coffee trigger issues? Your office should be your safe space where are you free from aggression and harassment.

Call the Daily Wail now and practice your best sad face.

divineinterruption · 29/11/2016 12:39

Just like people who get irrationally angry when you walk past them. What, so nobody else can walk on the pavement with you? It's just bizarre.

GinIsIn · 29/11/2016 12:40

Soubriquet are you laughing At my misfortune?! Shock

I am APOPLECTIC!!!!

OP posts:
GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 29/11/2016 12:42

How about 'apoplectic' with rage? I quite like that. Visions of purply-red face, eyes popping, and steam coming out of ears. Though this does tend to conjure up retired Major Blenkinsop, , rather than any Ms Mumsnet.

I also like blithering idiots and nincompoops, though you don't hear much about those these days - they're all twats.

FretYeNotAllIsShiny · 29/11/2016 12:43

This morning I was furious and heartbroken to discover there was no milk left in the fridge for my morning coffee. And then, to add insult to injury, I discovered barely touched cereal, swimming in milk, abandoned in the lounge! I have obviously failed as a mother, I cannot believe my darling daughter is so selfish and unthinking. AIBU in thinking this sort of thing is directly related to her dad's inability to shift a cup from the coffee table and LTB? He doesn't even use coasters!

Not really, I was briefly miffed and then whacked cocoa into my coffee, the cereal bowl merited a tiny sigh.

OverTheGardenGate · 29/11/2016 12:43

DH just ate the last quarter of my prawn sandwich when I got distracted by a cat in the garden. He says he thought I'd left it.
I am absolutely devastated and fucking furious. No. Really.

Redglitter · 29/11/2016 12:43

I find it strange on here when people get so invested in threads they claim to be in floods of tears reading them or worried sick and unable to sleep. Really? Hmm

Meatycankles · 29/11/2016 12:43

I'm crying and shaking, my piss is boiling and my teeth itch.
