To be irritated that a newbie has almost the same name as me?

[tassis]

Makes me a bit

she's only been here for 2 days and has posted heaps and I've been here for years and years and only post a bit so no-one knows me

i'm sure she's lovely and it's not like it's her fault, but I'm annoyed

(have asked her politely if she'd like to change her name...now she probably hates me)

AIBU?

I knew it - I am instantly forgettable

hey Katy44 she didn't post until 16 July - so I think you are safe

This year? That was yesterday, I'm not usually that on the ball

spooky - my lady didn't post till 16th July either

maybe someone's doing this on purpose?!

tbh, and don't shoot me down, but if you've been on the site "for years and years" and hardly ever post, and the other person is posting a lot, shouldn't you be the one to change? (this is to tassis btw).

expat, I hadn't noticed another expat. Now that is def. copying!

Good idea, Wendy!

I don't hardly ever post...I post a couple of times most days

"only post a bit" was what I said...maybe not very clear, sorry!

You shouldn't change your name just because of that expat.

but if you have other reasons I guess go for it. People will get used to it fast I'm sure.

over 500 posts this year

493 since the 1st March!

Sorry Tassis, I se eyou posted a lot last summer.

tassi has posted 30 times in 2 days (yesterday & today)

ivykaty44 has posted 3 times - just yesterday

can you tell I am bored

Actually the original expat was expatkat! (First time I encountered expatinscotland I assumed she was expatkat and wondered why she was typing funny )

I believe epk is still here but under another name...here, kittykittykitty!

You going for epis then, epis?

most of them appear to be tonight! trying to get myself firmly into everyone's heads!

also keep checking if the next promo code's working yet so can't go far!

It was just that in your first post it sounded like you were a "lurker"!

i think i'll change.

mumblechum - quite probably - last summer was very pregnant and very hot!

I politely asked someone called Furballmad to change and she did.

expat - don't change

i hate it when people change

I like your name expat

I used to be a fairy, then I was something else, now I think maybe Helenhismadwife might be cross at me having Helen at the start of mine... but I changed for the Simpsons thread & kinda liked it.

But... Helenhismadwife, if it annoys you just say & I'll have a rethink Helen's not even my real name

yeah i dont think you should either expat

YABU. Why does it matter?? Surely there are more important things to worry about.

I know you Tassis!

@ another expat!

I'm still narked by Flame17.

Names are very precious though, and I completely understand... I'm not too sure how I would have coped had there already been a flamebird when I joined

FD - know me as in recognise my name from MN...or know me in RL???

lmao - how to freak out an MNer!!!

Just from MN
