WHY ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED??

Why do people not check and double check the original post before adding a scolding reply which makes them look really silly, when the answer is right FKING there? Honestly, should we take a breath, a moment to consider if we are not going to look really twattish by letting our angry little fingers type stupid responses?

It almost makes so much sense why society fails so spectacularly when people are so confident in being loud and wrong.

I already know that I have made several errors in this post, and I fully expect to be pulled up on them because of murphrys law 🤭.

Because a lot of people feel better about themselves when they stamp on others.
the world is full of alot of nasty people

I can almost understand nasty, but being woefully ignorant and confident about it really perplexes the hell out of me.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED

LeComteDeFrouFrou · 27/08/2023 21:06

Yes... I started a thread once asking for advice on helping my DS(18) with learning some life skills. I specified that he has ASD.

Lots of helpful replies, but also one reply just saying, "Shouldn't he be doing it himself at his age?"

Why, thank you, kind stranger. I hadn't thought of that.

Prescottdanni123 · 27/08/2023 21:10

Really, OP. What did you expect would happen if you let a squirrel into the living room. What a daft thing to do.

Ofcourseshecan · 27/08/2023 21:13

Er, that’ll be Murphy’s Law, OP. 😀(And I mistyped that myself the first time.)

But I agree with your point. Also, people only have to click on ‘See all’ to read all an OP’s posts in the thread, so they don’t need to ignore OP’s updates and replies to PPs’ questions.

TheSilentSister · 27/08/2023 21:13

Oh look what you've done now OP, I've got an earworm.

Omg, so much of this. And it's not just the 'read between the lines' stuff, it's the blatantly obvious, word for word stuff like "how old is your DS?" 😖

I love you for this honestly, but murphrys law was deliberate. It means that when you correct someone's grammar and spelling in a post, you end up FKING up your own spelling and grammar. It's a thing of beauty when it happens, when someone is being an absolute arse.

Ahem. It's Muphry's law, not Murphry's. 😬

SoIinvictus · 27/08/2023 21:33

Tbf, there's only one person on this thread who's being embarrassing.

For people who don't read threads properly, like the OP updates - which explains what Murphrys law means for a kick off 🤭.

It's an online discussion forum, not a court of law.

I beg of you to read my updates 🙏, please don't be the people I'm complaining about.

Nope, you're really spelling Muphry's wrongly.

FuckingHellAdele · 27/08/2023 21:43

Maireas · 27/08/2023 21:42

Eh? Muphry?

Aye, Google it. But don't copy the OP's spelling.

Maireas · 27/08/2023 21:44

Ok. Please don't shout at me, but I'm confused.
Murhphy, Muphry, Murphry.... I've lost the gist. Help me out.

Momof3000 · 27/08/2023 21:45

Why should anyone be embarrassed of who they are or what they say you’ve clearly been offended by something and can’t process that!

Maireas · 27/08/2023 21:45

FuckingHellAdele · 27/08/2023 21:43

Aye, Google it. But don't copy the OP's spelling.

Is your spelling correct?
