Struggling not to post snarky response!

[Pinkginhelps]

AIBU to find posts lie this on FB intensely irritating...
"Hi laydees,
So I wanna get a facial . Don’t go to salons other than for hair . So any recommendations for a reasonably priced (but good obv) I’m town centre plz".
Post is on local FB group. Struggling not to post snarky response! "
Perhaps I'm just a grumpy old fart.... However, a momentary distraction from my current addiction to Corona updates and stockpiling threads.

Just couldn't work myself up to care. Post a recommendation or keep scrolling.

I am bemused by the constant FB requests for business recommendations in local FB groups. All that happens is that people post a gushing recommendation about their best mate's cousin's business, located completely on the other side of the county from the area the OP was looking.

So just google beauty salons/cakemakers within x miles of your postcode for yourself and cut out the middlemen.

I always get a bit fed up of seeing requests for ‘reasonably priced’ professional or skilled services - that are great or good . They normally mean ‘cheap’ , insulting for the person that’s spent time and money acquiring the skills

Really? Anyone with a regional dialect or cultural speech pattern, is thick?

It's typed. It's not a speech pattern!

We all have accents and local speech patterns, including me. But if I type in it, I do it for deliberate effect. If I was tone-deaf enough not to realise that typing in my local speech pattern was not a neutral choice, people would be perfectly justified in thinking I was thick. I may say wanna, but I don't type it unless it fits with the tone I want to convey.

So put the chip down.

@MimiLaRue This enrages you? Slight exaggeration. It irritates me.

@Mlou32 You sound mean and nasty. you conclude this because I confess that I am irritated by how someone writes posts on a Facebook group page? You sound ........actually, I won't say it.

I mean, it's Facebook, OP - I'm not sure what you expected.

I find it really irritating too OP

@pinkginhelps yes I do conclude this. You sound like a friend I used to have who would bitch about people all the time and constantly send me screenshots of fb posts saying snarky stuff like 'oh my god how annoying is she??' It is mean and nasty behaviour.

Slight exaggeration. It irritates me

To the point you wanted to write a snarky response- your words. I cant imagine getting worked up over something so trivial and unimportant

Furthermore, you didn't simply say you were irritated by how someone posts on facebook. You said you wanted to write a snarky reply. You were bitching about someone for no reason at all. You sound like one of those mean high school girls.

Common? I didn't think people still said that kind of thing about others.
One does have ones head up ones arse, doesn't one @StillCoughingandLaughing

@Pinkginhelps ahhh you took that in good spirits....ovs not that mush of a grumpy Laydee :)

@MimiLaRue I was irritated. Not annoyed, not worked up. I can't imagine getting worked up either. I was however irritated. I agree, it's very trivial and unimportant and a welcome respite from the Corona anxiety. What a shame I can't tell her so.
@Mlou32 I can see why she's an ex friend. If that's what she did/ does constantly. Fortunately, it's not something that I do constantly so could we be friends? (wink)

I cant imagine being "irritated" to the point of "struggling" to hold back a a snarky response either.
You should perhaps download a relaxation app. Sounds like you need it.

it's Facebook, OP - I'm not sure what you expected.

This.

I only ever use it to find events near me for the kids.

I never scroll the newsfeed anymore, braggedy brag, whingy whinge , ranty rant...."checking in at cinema/hotel/restaurant" look at my incredible, genius kids, "I am so proud of my mum bod" -posts a photo in size 8 dress with duck face on- HOW do people not get bored of it?

I think you might need to focus your energy on other things, OP. Try a hobby x

Why didn't you simply post a recommendation to a reasonably priced salon she could go to? Why the irritation with the way she's written her request? Why is she on your friends list if she annoys you so much?

@LettertoHermione aw, no Hun! Obvs not. But totes distressed as I've obvs triggered a few laydees with my bants 2nite. My bad!
My feelings are props hurt now. I think I'll have to find solace in a cheeky glass (or 2) of pink gin and slim. Actually, I think I need to order 20 bottles of gin from Sainsburys just in case there's a run on it along with loo roll and pasta.
Nite nite good laydees, babes and huns of MN. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bit rich when your user name is the oh-so-zany mega-lol tastic @pinkginhelps

The spelling, the abbreviations, the laydees part would instantly make me think the person is a complete idiot but I’d never ask people’s opinions about my thoughts on mumsnet. It won’t be kind. 😂

She sounds like a happy person.

You sound like some ones that’s bitter and doesn’t like happy people

The lack of grammatical standards is depressing.

Nobody's triggered, people are just baffled at your reaction to an innocent request for recommendations for a facial. You're being unkind and if the person who posted that sees this thread, I would imagine she would be hurt.

Someone beat me to it

Oh OP, you have made yourself look a bit silly!
