Someone just asked DH out on a date in front of me and he said yes

The Game

Go on, tell me to fuck off

I find people getting furious about the game much more amusing than the game itself 😁

@JulieChastened

But what is the game? how do you know if you're thinking about it if you don't know what it is?

If it's like, "Don't think about an elephant," how would you know if the person was thinking about it or not?

You play it with yourself, if that makes sense. While you are not thinking about The Game, you are winning, but if someone else makes you think about it, you lose.

It was all the rage about 15 years ago and all over the internet - just a bit of harmless fun.

@SprayedWithDettol

Oh fgs it’s just a bit of fun - remember fun? Yep, I’ve lost too.

Was just coming on to say the same. It makes you laugh for a second and say ffs. How can anyone be that worked up about it that they need to tell posters to fuck off?! Maybe those people are the ones who need to ‘get a life’

Thanks @hahahayoumustbejoking, it’s usually my DD that catches me out!

You’re over thinking a bit!

I didn’t realise people out of school still played “the game” much less on Internet forums.

Me too.

Are you going to tag along?

Nice that your husband is popular enough to be invited to things, does the invitation include you, op?

You dickhead, I was on about 6 months…well played OP

Damn damn damn. Well played OP

@SnarkyBag

I’m always amazed at the vitriol that gets spouted on threads about the game. Totally baffling

Me too. It's as if they resent other people having a bit of fun.

Oh, and do fuck off OP! 2nd time this week for me after a long run (I did it to myself two days ago!)

I'm confused! what is the point of the game?

Can someone please explain to me what this thread is about????

But what is the game? how do you know if you're thinking about it if you don't know what it is?

hence my confusion! I'm reading this thread but thinking about dinner

You are delightfully evil.

I have just also made my son lose the game with this one

Oh fuck!

@TheGenealogist

Or maybe, people get fucked off about people cluttering up threads with inane nonsense?

I feel the same level of ire about people who post reverses.

Lol. Have you ever been on mumsnet?! Inane is all that happens!

Well played op. You made me smile, very clever title.

You play it with yourself, if that makes sense. While you are not thinking about The Game, you are winning, but if someone else makes you think about it, you lose.

but what is the game? the act of not thinking about what you post? & posters are losing because they post on the thread?

I normally defend the game, but really shitty title OP

I'm another who doesn't get it.

You're not thinking about the phrase "The game". I then get you to read the words "The game" and now you're no longer winning. But neither am I.

I normally defend the game, but really shitty title OP

What? Why? Why is this not a good title?

Op, bugger! Fuck off.

Surely you can just title the thread-The Game and then everyone who even sees the title has supposedly lost this idiotic shit?

Hilarious
