Lexie -we all want to know deep down but don't want Fam's anxiety kicking in unnecessarily Wink

flumpybear · 04/07/2017 12:49

I suspect if she was texting st 2am there was alcohol involved 😳😉

flumpybear · 04/07/2017 12:50

WORKmum that is, not fam

DartmoorDoughnut · 04/07/2017 12:52

I think MrFam has the day off on the 17th so WORKzilla will get a surprise if she does try it on

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 04/07/2017 12:54

How does a three thread story work as a classic?

It's a trilogy I think

WeAreEternal · 04/07/2017 12:55

This is exactly what stopped me posting a full thread about the Mexican house stealing neighbour, it's just so ridiculous I was convinced I'd immediately be labled a liar or at least a exhagarator like the liftzilla poster eventually was found out to be.

Some people are just unbelievably shameless and entitled and Fam's situation is a prime example, I think the people who trollhunt are just lucky to have never had to deal with people like this.

And even if this was fiction, which I don't believe it is, so what, it has kept many, many people entertained for a couple of days.

SandyDenny · 04/07/2017 12:56

I don't think a few texts are worthy of taking up police time, at this stage 101 would be too much.

If you school is like mine OP you'll be able to avoid her for her next 2 days under the vomiting rules, maybe she'll have calmed down and found an alternative

Hi Fam

I had a situation a few years ago where someone was spreading lies about me. To cut a long story short, we'd fallen out and didn't speak anymore. She then applied for a job at the infants school where my children used to attend (by then they were in juniors, separate schools).

Apparently someone reported to the headmistress of the infant school that she had been dismissed from a previous role because of her bullying behaviour, so that they would waiver about offering her the job. The dismissal and reasons was true but it wasn't me who reported it. I didn't even know she was going for the job.

She spread it around the playground that it was me who did it. My friend asked why it didn't bother me that she was telling lies about me. I said "my true friends know the truth about me and her, anyone who believes her is not a friend"

People just like a good gossip, it will soon die down, I am also certain that they all know what she's like.

Hopefully you can take heart from this.

to clarify, this bit was about your situation

GhostInTheBackOfYourHead · 04/07/2017 13:00

So glad you're reinstated fam and well done MNHQ.
This is the last time I'm going to respond to a post by lions, because I have far more inportant things to do than calling out a random nobody on the interweb. Your post was deleted because you called somebody nasty names. Take responsibility and whilst you're at it perhaps consider apologising to fam for repeatedly asking for proof. You don't come across well at all.

WhereYouLeftIt · 04/07/2017 13:08

I personally am enjoying the image of WORKzilla pacing up and down until 2am (at least) firing off texts at famtastic. It does suggest that she really is not used to people saying 'no' to her. Grin

I said on the earlier thread...That I think you have grown from this..As in toddlers learning from having a tantrum doesn't get their own way. Hopefully WORKzilla will learn a lesson too

LionsOnTour · 04/07/2017 13:17

Ghost
No I didn't . Seriously, you must have confused me with someone else. Are you sure you've not confused my posts with Babs post? (Not that I saw Babs post so I've no idea if it was rude or not ). I absolutely didn't call anyone anything nasty or rude. Not even close. I posted troll hunting posts but only AFTER MNHQ had said the thread was fake and they were going to delete the thread. Surely it was not that unreasonable to think the OP was a troll when MNHQ HAD SAID SHE WAS!!! As soon as they stated they made a mistake I stopped and asked for my posts to be deleted at my request.

Even my troll hunting posts were not rude or offensive. I literally didn't say anything rude. I was just asking the OP to post proof of her train ticket etc but I only did this because MNHQ has said she WAS a troll. They made a mistake and I took them at their word....

I 100% promise I didn't post anything offensive or rude about anyone.

BTW MNHQ have confirmed to me that the deleted posts will not be counted against me.

GhostInTheBackOfYourHead · 04/07/2017 13:19

Apologies lions . I confused you with another poster. I"m very sorry.

FlyingJellyfishintheAttic · 04/07/2017 13:21

OP you HAVE to make it clear any further communication will be reported to the police as harassment, you have texts and neighbours as witnesses.

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 04/07/2017 13:26

The troll hunters need to get lives.

The only thrill they get in their sad little lives is "calling it first" (as one of them gleefully bragged on this thread) so they jump in to call troll on threads ASAP to show off to all the other sad losers.

I wish MNHQ would come down harder on them. They suck the joy out of threads.

LionsOnTour · 04/07/2017 13:29

Ok, fair enough, no problem.

I honestly wouldn't have posted any troll hunting stuff at all if MNHQ hadn't made a mistake and said the thread was fake and was going to be deleted. . If you don't believe me then you can see my earlier posts on the first thread. They were helpful and supportive. Even though I was wondering if the OP was a troll and I had reported her my posts were written without any doubt in them at all. Not even super subtle stuff. Advance search my name and you can see for yourself. I know it's not possible to tell if posters are trolls or not which is why I report if I'm not sure. Then I just go with what MNHQ say. In this case because MNHQ said it was a fake thread I thought it was a fake thread too. Surely that's not unreasonable. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They have all the behind the scenes information so I thought I was ok in believing what they said.

Anyway I'll not make the same mistake again! 🤐

caoraich · 04/07/2017 13:39

fam - glad you have been reinstated. I've read your 3 threads and found it very plausible, and an excellent lesson in standing up for yourself!

FWIW, when I was about nine my mum was having an awful time with a woman who had insinuated herself into our lives. Her three bratty kids were suddenly round our house all the time, mum really struggled to say no. I could see it upset her.

One weekend I had a really nasty tummy bug. While I wouldn't say it was fully pre-planned, I distinctly recall entering the living room, announcing "I feel SICK AGAIN!" and aiming directly into horrible woman's lap. Perhaps your DS had similar feelings Grin

LionsOnTour · 04/07/2017 13:40

Just to be helpful I've advanced searched myself. 😂 So you can see my posts from the first thread. There isn't even the slightest hint of troll hunting in them and I hope you can tell I was trying to be helpful.

I'll repeat... I only troll hunted AFTER MNHQ mistakenly said the OP was trolling and I immediately stopped when they said they had made a mistake.

Well, this has been an entertaining thread! Fam-
Well done you! Now stand your ground with WORKzilla

mikeyssister · 04/07/2017 13:50

I'm surprised that posters are surprised that neighbour is bad mouthing famtastic.

Do people not realise that neighbour really and truly believes that fam has let her down. Not only will she continue to bad mouth Fam, she is likely to arrive at Fam's door, send her children to Fam's door or nab her in the playground in front of witnesses.

She will try to bully Fam into agreeing to babysit, which is why both herself and her DH doorstepped Fam when they thought she would be alone.

At some stage I expect Fam to post that she has agreed to take the kids for "one" day because neighbour is really stuck and really apologetic.

Users use and givers give.
