Fuming, raging, heartbroken....

[GinIsIn]

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?!

It's fine to be those things, but do you have to put it on social media. Why does everyone air their private business on Facebook. I don't want to know about your bladder issues, and that it really hurts to wee, I don't think the many on your Facebook do either.

I have a huge dislike of people who join threads about a sad situation and make it all about them.

'I'm literally sitting here sobbing' type stuff is extraordinarily self indulgent.

I know a woman who phoned the mother of a toddler having life or death surgery and bawled down the phone at her. The mother ending up having to comfort her. She seemed to think it made her empathetic when it's just the opposite.

I have literally fainted in a fit of frustrated fury that nobody has noticed that I said that first! Rot in hell, bitches!

Am totally gutted on your behalf. Vile ignorant people.

I imagine Len Goodman breaking the icy silence with a Seveeen! Literally howling Worra

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.....

That is vile, he should of asked you first.

I want to know when everything became "hilarious" rather than just funny?

And things particularly my football club being described as 'vile'??

What about all the tinkly little laughs, chuckles and ROFLs?

What's wrong with a straight-forward laugh, or even a smirk or a wry smile?

We haven't had 'disaster' yet, have we? Things are now 'disasters' when they would once have been minor cock-ups, slight errors or a bit of an inconvenience.

There's a lot of hyperbole out there. It's a disaster. Or perhaps an epidemic.

Someone once told me my post makes them want to roar.

Erm, go ahead love. You go and be a dinosaur.

Tesco had sold out of soba noodles this morning. I can't go on .

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.....

He's clearly using coffee as a weapon to control you. Such a misogynistic bastard (have you all noticed how every single action a man does is misogynistic these days? It doesn't matter whether or not the action actually displays dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women, it's misogynistic just by virtue of being done by a man).

Anyway, I would LTB, phone 101, call NHS Direct and for the love of God, don't forget to CANCEL THE CHEQUE!

Two or more people who have slightly similar experiences are a brigade. Why not battalion, squadron or division?

I hate amaaaaaaazing with a passion. It makes me want to punch a hole in the nearest wall or literally murder the cat.

Derxa, but surely this thread and the hyperbole is amaaaaaaazing.

Or is it amazeballs?? I am trying to work that one out but I can't and it is rendering me apoplectic with rage/fury.

Poor cat. What's he ever done to you?

I love the threads where someone has had a dog give them side-eye and they find it 'terrifying'.

I don't know how they get through a day. Thank god they live in Basingstoke and not Syria.

I know Yvaine. Look at all the hysteria about spiders. If you start a thread that mentions the word, a trigger warning is expected, people can't even look at pictures of spiders and talk in all seriousness about not being able to enter a room or house where they might have seen a spider.

How on earth do they get through the day and how would they cope if they lived in Australia and not a country that has almost no dangerous wildlife whatsover?

Just. Fucking. Grow. Up.

Poor cat. What's he ever done to you? She's amazingly entitled and her haughtiness is destroying my already rock bottom self esteem. In fact she's emotionally abusive. DS gives her more attention than me and constantly raves about her 'goodness' and 'cleverness'. (The last bit is true )

Obviously you're not going your job as cat slave correctly

Poor cat will need councilling to deal with it

And let's not forget the numbers of diagnosis which happen. "Oh, your DH clearly is a narcissist," really? And you are qualified to know this?

And yes, people sobbing over threads err I don't think so. In fact if ever I have cause to think of threads on MN when I'm not at my computer or phone I see that as a sign that I've clearly spent too much time here. .

You are all making me feel stabby.

Lots of frothing and over-reacting here.

But really, there are children that are beaten, starved or neglected by their parents and social services don't have enough resources to help those children so someone not using a car seat, perhaps as a one off isn't going to be top priority is it?

Of course not using a car seat isn't on, but no-one knows how far they were going, or what the circumstances were (they could have been going mile down the road on a 30 mph road and the car with the seats in could have been in the garage for example). The parents might have decided that on balance, the risk was low.

Shocking inability to rationally assess risk is rife on here. Would I be unreasonable to leave my sleeping baby for 2 minutes while I go to the shop directly over the road is met with dozens of replies insisting that the house will burn down, the child will wake and be traumatised for life because you aren't there or you will be run over and no-one will notice until the baby has starved to death, that sort of thing. Much better to wake the child so when you get run over, they are there with you .

I used to be mildly irked by the clutches pearls mentioned by a pp, until I happened to see these beauties whilst browsing the internet one day.

Now I have a different image in my head when I read it. Probably one at odds with the original intention...

crazy cat lady owners sit in the cat hair covered cardigans blissfully unaware of the discusting filth left behind by their filthy animals.

You rang?

Blimey, Shodan how very odd! Who
would find them sexy? And what
Would happen if you moved? So many questions!
