to over think people's user names?

I normally just read posters comments, but I have become very drawn to people's user names. I won't single any out as that is probably inappropriate, but a lot of usernames are creating a real imagination and back story in my head (all good and positive and some a rude lol).

Does anyone else pay any attention to this or am I going through an odd phase?

BTW I enjoy KP snacks :)

BlaaBlaaBlaa - I think you probably say the word 'whatever' a lot. If people annoy you, then they are told in no uncertain terms. You are the boss

Ooh. Salty. You're on a roll. Has anyone done you? I want to suggest something of an old fashioned bar where salty peanuts were available. Or is salty more in the financial sense???

Ooo I do like mine, thank you. DH would probably agree on the working hard to impress angle! I chose it as I love drag race so a RuPaul thing, and the WORK is in capitals as the excellent workzilla thread was in it's momentum.

MalcolmsBrokenWalrusMoneybox - OK I'm getting a bit haphazard and unstructured. Not one for following the crowd and likes to do things their own way.

What is this trickery? Do mine please.

DollyDayScream · 07/10/2018 21:05

I love this thread.

It's funny how we all imagine a person based on the tone of their posts and their username!
