So, I'm on a Facebook forum. Someone is going through a divorce and is finding it hard.

Someone else said 'You are going to be okay! Divorce is tough but it won't last.'

I REALLLLLY want to ask what kind of crappy divorce lawyer did she have that it didn't last. The whole point of divorce is that it is permanent.

But I can't. Because someone is going through a hard time.

But I have a pent up response that needs to be posted, so iabu and posting it here instead.

Sorry to waste your time!

If it had been my post, I'd have had a snort at your reply, but then I have that black humour. Definitely best to keep to yourself I reckon. Grin

OP I'm with you.

Better to vent on here to anonymous strangers than people in real life.

Yes you did come across as that dim, now I just think your not a very nice person.

You have no idea if the person typing that has difficulties with the English language, you have no idea what heartbreaking situation they are going through.

I think your very lucky, I wish this is all I had to be angry about.

I'm sorry you are angry, penguins. I can assure you I am not.

So something amuses me, I resist the temptation to post because it's not appropriate and that makes me not nice and angry? I'm not sure that it's me that is dim.

Grumpy, thanks!

See you on the dirty secrets thread, nicer people on there!

OP - I got the joke. And you made me smile with it. It is the sort of thing I do and some people miss the joke and I get into trouble. Others miss the joke and then when they get it make some point about it.

You didn't post as a response to the divorcing FB Friend - you made a comment here - which is fine!

Sciurus83 · 23/01/2017 13:42

Haha no of course it was obviously a lighthearted joke. I laughed!

Strongmummy · 23/01/2017 14:48

I didn't get the joke and just thought you were thick. On the basis I don't know you/your humour I think that's not entirely inappropriate. Never quite get why people try and be sarcastic in this forum....
