Oh! Were we supposed to know that it was a piss take? It wasn't too well crafted, in that case.

SpookyBearistheSpookyBear · 12/10/2007 21:44

But the OP was written in a blatantly comedy fashion...

xXxamyxXx · 12/10/2007 21:46

i read the op i took it to be in humour and responded as such

unknownrebelbang · 12/10/2007 21:50

I didn't realise it was a pisstake.

You asked if you were being unreasonable.

Sourpuss Rebel really couldn't give a toss, but YWBU, and YABU.

JoFan · 12/10/2007 21:54

quick hijack

foxy are you there?

rebus fab tonight

liked status quo joke

TheEvilDediderata · 12/10/2007 21:56

Nor did I. I think it's unreasonable to expect us to know the context, if another thread we obviously haven't read was the motivation.

But why get so arsy about it? Why the "ffs"? So, you've just taken a dive at the Comedy Store.

We'll forgive you! No need to bite

Look, do all those who are offended by clearly piss taking threads write in to the television companies and complain about the likes of Catherine Tate who blatently takes the piss out of the old bird and her grandson, or Little Britain who features that old WI member? who is sick when she trys food made by gay people?

If they don't write in they just switch off the telly yes?

I dunno, lighten up you pesky critters

2hot2care · 12/10/2007 22:02

i think any thread that doesnt fit the normal aibu type questions ( angry at teacher/ delivery driver etc) is considered a piss take on here.

unknownrebelbang · 12/10/2007 22:04

I couldn't see that it was clearly a pisstake.

So shoot me.

(please).

cheeset · 12/10/2007 22:05

BANG!

FREAKshow · 12/10/2007 22:05

Some people don't have the same sense of humour, or are just a bit more earnest and don't get that it's a joke. What's wrong with that? It's just misunderstanding - surely that is allowed?

xXxamyxXx · 12/10/2007 22:06

bang!just kidding

cheeset · 12/10/2007 22:06

FREAKshow, its not allowed, did you see the other thread?

SaintJude · 12/10/2007 22:07

AIBU to think that people are fuckwits if they dont laugh along with me?

cheeset · 12/10/2007 22:07

xXxamyxXx, BANG BANG BANG!!!!

SaintJude · 12/10/2007 22:08

And yes, Catherine Tate should be shot.

cheeset · 12/10/2007 22:09

SaintJude, not sure if they are fuckwits, just makes you realise they are WIERD

xXxamyxXx · 12/10/2007 22:09

charmingshe asked to be shot i didnt sniff sniff

TheEvilDediderata · 12/10/2007 22:09

Oh, I'm rarely earnest, and usually get the joke ...

cheeset · 12/10/2007 22:10

Whose this 'earnest' of which you speak!
