Bloody Nora.

Hmm

So you climbed on a chair because a bunch on strangers on the internet suggested you do, even though you were feeling dizzy.

You need to learn to take a bit more responsibility for your actions.

All's well that ends well! Wink

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 08/02/2018 12:53

Yeah...ok then...

HarrietKettleWasHere · 08/02/2018 12:53

Oh right ok.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/02/2018 12:55

It's strange to feel so dizzy that you have to sit on a kitchen worktop and can't move until someone rescues you. I think I'd have risked it and lowered myself down after a minute.

I wish you'd waited for later posts advising you to fashion a fishing net out of a broom handle and old tights for such emergencies.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 08/02/2018 12:55

What.The.Fuck Hmm

NathanTheProphet · 08/02/2018 12:55

Right...

Tarraleaha · 08/02/2018 12:55

No one advised the OP to start dancing on a chair, how much effort do you need to climb on one to grab some medication.

Wolfiefan · 08/02/2018 12:57

Are you always such a drama llama? Why did you just sit on the kitchen surfaces until he got back? Why all the "rocketing"? Confused

Cherrycokewinning · 08/02/2018 12:57

Umm... your parents are coming to look after you? Did you forget to mention you were 9?

HarrietKettleWasHere · 08/02/2018 12:59

What did you do while you were sitting there?! Look out of the window and contemplate your life Confused

Trashboat · 08/02/2018 13:00

What the heck is it with the 'I can't cope without my man' threads.

They're infuriating!!

Cherrycokewinning · 08/02/2018 13:00

I’m also loving getting a rocketing for “climbing when ill” 🤣🤣🤣

fleshmarketclose · 08/02/2018 13:01

Goodness grief lets hope you never have more than the lurgy then Hmm

Cherrycokewinning · 08/02/2018 13:02

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 08/02/2018 13:02

Poor princess Hmm God help you if you ever find yourself seriously ill without a complete backup team Biscuit

jessei · 08/02/2018 13:02

Bloody hell! I have to do a lot more than climb on a chair when I'm ill. You sound a bit odd op!

cantsleepclownwilleatme · 08/02/2018 13:02

To be fair, op could suffer vertigo. I get it terribly and certain movements make it worse. I've vomited from having it so badly. If I am having an attack I can't move.
I realise she just said 'dizzy', but just putting it out there.

HateTheDF · 08/02/2018 13:04

She could suffer from vertigo but she didn't say that and she should also have known better.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.

frankchickens · 08/02/2018 13:04

To be fair, op could suffer vertigo. Yep, and my Dad's the Pope.

SilverySurfer · 08/02/2018 13:07

Goodness knows what those of us who live alone would do. I'm old and disabled and even I'm capable (just) of standing on the first step of a step ladder. I guess with no big strong man to rescue us we would just have to sit on the worktop until we starved to death Hmm

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/02/2018 13:08

You should have used a mop handle or something.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/02/2018 13:08

Well thank goodness the debilitating dizziness subsided so you could have a good laugh with dp about it and post coherently on here with your detailed update. Grin
