This is defiantly the most literally unreasonable thread ever. Shock

TheFastandCurious · 19/07/2019 16:11

OUTRAGED at your BREATHTAKING VILENESS and DISGUSTING ATTITUDE I am truly HORRIFIED it’s UTTERLY UTTERLY HORRIFIC and I am MORTALLY OFFENDED and my ANXIETY means I’ll report you for...for...

What were we talking about again?...

TheFastandCurious · 19/07/2019 16:12

Grow up OP
You sound like hard work
He deserves better
You’re so ENTITLED

@WooMaWang

Oh shit! You outed me. I think I will contact MNHQ and ask them to take it down as I have some RL concerns.

I've been unable to sleep worrying about this- if we're using "disgusting and dehumanising" to describe throwing a milkshake or "horrified" at our friend's 6month old and their lack of manners... then...then when something actually bad happens... we're gonna run outta words, people!

SlurpyMcSlurperFace · 19/07/2019 16:15

Never once have I pmsl, snorted so hard coffee came down my nose or spat my tea over the keyboard.

I only have at films. Drop Dead Fred where he's standing on the table and going to eat her and poo her out gets me every time Grin

Ye OK hun? XOXO

Another toddler was IN THE WAY of MY toddler at the bottom of the slide and DIDN"T IMMEDIATELY MOVE!!! I was HORRIFIED by their behaviour! (may have been said by a pp in a thread the other week)

Was the toddler coming down the slide “spirited and ridiculously friendly” and toddler who was hit twice “over sensitive” at being hit twice by a kid twice his size. (May have seen a different thread)?

Yabbers · 19/07/2019 16:16

What were we talking about again?...

Probably about whether it was a safeguarding issue.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 19/07/2019 16:18

U ok hun?

Ronsters · 19/07/2019 16:22

Sorry OP, I accidently pressed YABU instead of YANBU. I'm utterly mortified!

snowqu33n · 19/07/2019 16:29

Envy not envy

BackOnceAgainWithABurnerEmail · 19/07/2019 16:30

The new one I’ve seen in here recently is ‘unnerved’. Saw it used in reference to...a pair of shoes...

littlepaddypaws · 19/07/2019 16:31

Some of us like to express ourselves. Thats why we scream in the sistene chapel, snap and fart, and eat fat balls. How dare you mock us OP. You sound very entitled 😜

Badcat666 · 19/07/2019 16:33

I'm so shocked and horrified at this OP that I'm going off to boil some wee wee.

TheFastandCurious · 19/07/2019 16:34

Dehumanising! Yes! Magellhan50 that’s the word that confirms to me that this is, indeed, a safeguarding issue.

Liz Hurleys modelling pictures made a MN ‘deeply uncomfortable’ and ‘creeped out’

I clicked on them expecting to see some controversial gore fest / sexual predator scene.

He just had long hair and looked like his mum.

Bookworm4 · 19/07/2019 16:41

Grim just grim 🙄
Threads asking Aibu asking this; YES, then others tell you your unreasonable for disagreeing 🤣
Yesterday some dopey asking should she use a changing bag for her not baby; Whatever, I said she was for not being able to make a decision about a bag, I was mean 😭😭

GrouchoMrx · 19/07/2019 16:43

Don't forget CASUAL HATRED.

Don't particularly like a celeb then the verb is HATE and everyone who isn't completely wonderful is VILE.

amusedbush · 19/07/2019 16:44

FUMING. I'll PM you hun xx

alligatorsmile · 19/07/2019 16:44

I can't believe you're all laughing about this, I was viciously attacked by a hyperbole last year and this is all very triggering for me

Bookworm4 · 19/07/2019 16:46

@alligatorsmile
You ok hun?
Has your anxiety went into overdrive?

SignedUpJust4This · 19/07/2019 16:49

Teachers horrify me the most. Especially when they do vile things like try to teach our children. I find everything they say and do deeply offensive.

Sagradafamiliar · 19/07/2019 16:51

I'm so incandescent with rage that I'm in tears reading this. Utterly repugnant OP didn't your mum teach you if you didn't have anything nice to say then you should say nothing? Sobbing.
