AIBU To not really be bothered about the Kings coronation?

I know it’s a historical moment but I just don’t really feel excited about it… Like at all.

I know people who are travelling to London for the day or having parties and I just don’t have the same enthusiasm as them. Is that bad?

Anyone else feel the same as me?

But you’re bothered enough to start a thread about it? 🍪

Lol only to see if how I feel is normal or not… Most people I know in real life seem pretty excited, and I’m just like ‘meh’

There’s a strong correlation between caring/not caring about it and IQ.

Another thread … on the same topic, of a thread further down the page.

Not only “not bothered about the Coronation” … but also “can’t be arsed to just add to the other conversation about it”

This is like the 18th thread by people who "aren't bothered".

I guess I’m not the only one feeling the same way then

FFS 🙄 As a pp said, you're obviously bothered enough to start a thread on it. Bother about it, or don't bother. IDGAF to be honest. I am interested and don't give a flying shiny shite if others aren't!

We've already got so many of these threads that it's hard to believe you're all that indifferent. And it should answer your question of whether you stand alone.

Goodness, what gave it away?

DannyZukosSmile · 04/05/2023 00:22

What amazes me is how a poster starts a banal thread like this, and thinks they're SO original for starting it, and so out-there and radical because they aren't arsed about the Coronation. NEWSFLASH... NO. ONE CARES!

All these people who keep talking about how much they not interested in the Coronation, what will they talk about when the Coronation's over? 😄

If you don’t care then why bother posting a comment on the thread.

I just don’t understand the level of aggression and rudeness people have of this forum 🤨

Probably start whingeing about Brexit again, and the Tories, and putting #notmyking at the end of any posts of messages or tweets they post. 😆

  1. I have already apologised as I didn’t see the other threads

  2. the Coronation is a current event that’s about to happen so people are bound to be talking about it

  3. If you don’t like a thread, then just leave instead of complaining and being genuinely rude and unpleasant to the OP. It’s not compulsory to post a comment on threads you don’t like. Just scroll on by … Like I don’t get what your problem is 🤦‍♀️

TheStrangestTimes · 04/05/2023 00:35

I'm not that fussed either OP. I actually thought it was the weekend just gone 😂 and couldn't understand why there was no running commentary about it on the BBC news site at the weekend when I webt to the web page!

I may watch a few minutes of it, I may not. Not an anti Royalist, either, I just have a few other things on my list of things to watch/ listen to that are more interesting (to me). I'll probably try and tune in on the wrong day!

yes this is exactly how I feel to a T … I might briefly tune in out of curiosity but to be honest I can think of other things I would rather watch on TV 🤷🏼‍♀️
