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 🤭.

Fyi i would expect mums net to be full of 20 somethings as I thought it was for parents to share similar experiences these womens kids would have been adults when mums net was created so how did they end up here??

Plenty of people in their 50s have kids still in secondary school - Mumsnet is never going to only be for 20 somethings. (And if it was, what will happen to you when you stop being a 20 something? Will you leave?)

I am over 50. I have a 5yo. My ma was well embarrassed. But not me. I'm Frank Gallagher SHAMELESS..

They’re not embarrassed because they’re too ignorant to see what they’re missing.
I have about had it with mumsnet. The intelligence level has declined sharply, and I am tired of the trolls that sound like young boys and/ or incel type men.

I love that they still display his photo in the village hall every year at the fete.

same reason that some people fail to take the caps lock off?

RyanGoslingsTan · 28/08/2023 13:38

I just can't believe your husband did that OP. Although not worth huffing over. Just move on..

I love you for this honestly, but murphrys law was deliberate.

I just found that one out last night, on an old episode of QI!

Is this to me? I was just using capitals ironically in reference to the earlier use of capitals in the thread. Or are you being ironic too? I can’t tell any more.

(awaits someone telling me that that is a female godwit hence not a guy…)

I assumed that poster was referring to the OP's title. Now that really pisses me off, people replying to the thread title without even bothering to read the OP!

TooBigForMyBoots · 28/08/2023 16:43

Pisses me off too @Sweetpeasaremadeforbees and I bet we're not the only ones. Someone should start a thread about it.

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.

I get jolly cross when people correct my grammar. Just because she's old doesn't mean she can't say or write what she wants. I'm not so precious about my grandpa though, he's even older and smells a bit funky.
