AIBU to get irritated by people trying to derail lighthearted threads

[MVLipwig]

It just seems unnecessary when they are just upsetting theirselves and spoiling it for other people.
I’m talking
“What’s your favourite treat food from the shops”
“Nothing. I live in a wooden crab infested shack and only eat mouldy dog food and sprouts”
Or
“What funny/silly nonsense did your family do with you as a child”
“Well they string me up and beat me with birches, I don’t know if that counts”
I understand hard lives, and it’s not been a picnic personally but I (and I assume others) read cheerful threads as nice escapism and happy memories and these posters are upsetting their selves and others

A right and wrong way to bleed. Is there nothing they won't turn into a contest? I bet they pick their nose with some gold, sterile contraption from Joseph.

You should consider yourself lucky to be able to get irritated. I have not been able to feel anything other than a mild grievance since having my irritability glands removed

😂😂😂
Brilliant.

The attitude to periods is very weird. Men leaving drops of wee on a toilet seat or a smear of shite on a toilet are disgusting arseholes but say you don't want to see an unwrapped used sanitary towel on the top of a normal bin and what's wrong with you? It's only period blood, there's nothing dirty about it. You're period shaming!!

Obviously i am sorry for your gland loss..

Its rank. I went on a weekend away with a friend and she just put her unwrapped sanpro in the bathroom bin. I went to put cotton wool in it after taking make up off and eerwee😲. Really???wrap it up in some loo roll for fucks sake.

Yes we all bleed i just dont want to see the contents of your womb when i open a bin thanks.

(And why should the b&b cleaners have to see it either? )

Well, I'm wearing scented sanpro, swigging directly from a bottle of diet coke and just finished a packet of Jaffa cakes after a frozen microwave meal. I've just finished a rough arse night shift and I am now going to sleep WITH THE DOG ON THE BED!

Somewhere, an mner's head is exploding......

Just one packet of jaffa cakes? Lightweight

Someone on here had dirt to sleep on? Lucky you. I grew up in the soul sucking emptiness of an interdimensional void. Honestly, you lot don't know you're born. We literally had nothing.

“AIBU to think cheese on toast is the best snack ever”

“Yes. My DC has a severe toast allergy and one bite could kill them.”

YANBU. There was a time when a lighthearted thread would run for days, full of creative witty posts and general goodwill. Nowadays they barely make a page before somebody comes plodding on, weighed down with self righteousness and ruins the whole thing.

Lighten up. It's okay to have a laugh and to sometimes not take life too seriously.

Cigars, did you have clothes on. If yes, you had something. I literally had no skin, I had to buy it.

We literally had nothing

We!! We!!

Literally disappeared up your own nothingness there. Even if you had invisible friends or were fantasising you were royalty - you'd concocted whole social systems in your consciousness.

Check your privilege, eh?

You literally don't understand the meaning of nothing.

We!! We!! - The italics were rubbish ^^ - maybe, "We?!! We?!! As in more than one of you?" would have worked.

withdraws self as rubbish at this

Does anyone remember the squash thread? People having palpitations at the thought of ADULTS drinking SQUASH, you might as well still be BREASTFED, what is WRONG with you??? MN at its most insane.

Someone posted about being upset about spending years trying to break into acting and wondered if they should give up now they are approaching 30. Ok not light hearted but genuine and needed advice.

Someone wrote, “well boo hoo and I thought I had it bad when both my siblings died of cancer”

Tragic but ffs was that really necessary? Just scroll on if you don’t like the thread.

I ended a friendship with someone who engaged in oneupmanship.

I called her Tilly TwoShits.

The over competative stuff is draining. Doesnt matter the subject, always had to go one better or worse.

Goat WithACoat that actually made me laugh! The poor woman that was hectored for using applicator tampons, though, as if she was a silly girl! "Like training wheels on a bike" !

Op upset but light hearted that her DH had bought her a shitty card and garage flowers for birthday, no cake.

Be grateful he even remembered, at least you had a card the last time I had a card was Valentine's Day 12 years ago. How pathetic you sound.

Cards are stupid, they kill trees. I make a point of only using just a solitary piece of parchment per year....in which I dip my own chicken quill in hand beaten cochineal and beetroot juice.

Why would you want a cake anyway. Cakes are stupid, they are for DC and they give you heart disease anyway. I only eat one slice of egg free, dairy free, wholewheat avacado
And lentil cake per month. I make them in my home made steamer. Hanging over glass ignited sticks from my sustainable any garden.

You are all life's takers

There is actually a "You should think yourself lucky op..." on a thread this morning which is very bizzare.

Instantly thought of this thread😁😁

@Marthas You got MN nailed!

Someone on here had dirt to sleep on? Lucky you. I grew up in the soul sucking emptiness of an interdimensional void. Honestly, you lot don't know you're born. We literally had nothing.

There was a time when a lighthearted thread would run for days, full of creative witty posts and general goodwill.

Very true. I miss those days .

I often think it's time to move on but, every so often, a thread comes along (like this one) and I think that maybe the joy hasn't gone completely.

Oh, bolding fail, damnit. Maybe it is time to move on.

@Pamdoo did you ever discover the answer to cardboard applicators?

I too am still in training it seems. Only 30 plus years. Might be done a profession period person after 40 years just in time for the menopuse

StripySocksAndDocs no, still using my applicators while hanging my head in shame that I don't know how to adult correctly
