Go and post in another topic and stop getting your knickers in a twist about some trivial thing like someone looking at you a bit funny one day or somesuch (did I already say trivial) triviality.

I think you may be right hunker. When there is thread titled 'AIBU to think this woman is a completely evil hateful bitch and to want to condemn and her offspring to the fires of hell?' Only to read the OP and find the woman has looked askance at the OP's pushchair, or spoken to her child.

I find some people on here quite frightening TBH. Glad it's only cyberpeople, not rl people....

I started reading this thread and thought "I'm sure I've read this before" - then I saw the date of the OP - so it's not Groundhog Day after all. Phew!

Sycamore, you are obviously not destined for a life of trolling.

I am off to bed too, night night all.

See, just posted on this as troll-face - I am too tired - must go to bedfordshire.

I made the OP, then accidentally posted as myself half way down, rather than my troll name (incidentally, no one picked me up on it - slack alice's) but obviously all Mnetters are a bunch of old lushes who would see their children alcholics by 10 yrs....

But, TBH, I probably would let my DD try a sip of wine if she wanted, but she's never shown any interest, but then, she is only 2.6!

Ha, I laughed at that Sycamore. I wondered if you were trolling or if that was your real opinion, and then everyone was agreeing with you.

Sycamoretree · 16/02/2008 23:21

Bluesky - my trolling was shit. I don't have any balls, clearly I was nowhere near contentious enough and everyone is agreeing that I am being reasonable...harumph - I think I'll leave the trolling to the pros...

Sorry, I don't know who you are talking to. I am new to this thread (having read all the other AIBU and giving up in boredom or agreement)

You could almost write a dissertation about lifts and etiquette of using one after reading that thread.

Kinder - very bored MNetters...

Oh doesn't it piss you off? Do these people own the lift then? People are so sullen and miserable when it would be just as easy to be pleasant. Take no notice, you were being polite.

Trouble is in the UK these days if you smile at people they either think you're crazy or you fancy them. But you have to keep doing it and try and keep manners and pleasantries alive.

Ah, the world of Lift Amateurs. These are people who do one or more of the following:

When calling the lift, press the up and the down buttons
Press the call button repeatedly in the deluded belief that it will make it come more quickly
Get into the lift when it's going down, when they actually want to go up and vice versa
Stand in front of the button panel and when you say "could you press 3 for me please" stare at you like you have two heads

But of these, no. 3 is definitely the worst. The trouble is, it's a vicious circle. The lift is so full of people going up in order go down, that you end up having to get into a lift going down, just so you can go up....

Lift Amateurs. Hate 'em.

Oh I once had an embarrassing lift moment once. Dp and I were getting into a lift at the women's hospital and a man came running up to catch it. I went to press the button that keeps the doors open but somehow pressed the doors shut button. We thought the lift was going up and we were giggling at my stupidity making the poor guy miss the lift the next minute the doors opened and he was on the otherside, the lift hadn't moved anywhere and he must have heard us laughing.

I really feel the same today. I have PMT and want to shout at all posters on AIBU and say "get a grip! Stop wasting time on trivia! Get some REAL concerns going or just get out and enjoy life a bit, stop wittering on".

Kindersurpise · 16/02/2008 23:04

lol at the lift. What kind of replies did she get?

Had a quick scan of the AIBU threads, most of them could go elsewhere. You could skim 50% off them if we had an extra "Rant about MIL" section

Of course you can - I was at the bulmers museum a few days ago, I could have asked for you then.

I've been driving for years but I still know the rules of the road (I did the advanced motorist test not long ago) and so can look smug whilst driving along at 20 mph behind the old dodders that I get near me.
