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 🤭.

“Some of my best friends are fifty somethings”.

A bit like when racists say “some of my best friends are black but..”

stop with the rampant ageism already. I dont recall a post ever to confirm a date of birth so you’re making assumptions anyway. Maybe just say some people are dicks. Their age is entirely irrelevant here.

YANBU, OP - but it’s just because many people’s reading comprehension is so poor. Actually unbelievably poor.

Muphry’s Law is when you criticise someone’s SPAG, while making a spelling and/or grammatical mistake yourself.

And I, ironically spelt it the ironic meaning incorrectly so I look like a class A clown and so my entire point went up in smoke . Oh the irony 🤭.

What in the headfuck is going on here?

Agreed. This is a strange thread

JustGiveMeTwoMinutes · 27/08/2023 22:05

You are absolutely right OP. But in fairness I do think you could have switched the light off when he asked you to. HTH

I’ve found that MN is full of working class 20-something who seem to lack perspective ….

God, doesn’t that ^^ sound hideous?

I did try and subtly point it out, but I think it looked like I was making the Muphry/Murphy correction!

Anyway, I agree with your actual point, YANBU.

Is it too soon to nominate this thread for classics? 😂

I agree with your op but I’m crying at your impassioned misreading of the corrected misspellings of your misspelling.

It’s off to a great start.

Well, this thread has been most enlightening. So many pleasant posters. I'll be off now, enjoy your laws. Toodle pip!

It certainly has some very enlightening elements.

Yes , me too in real life and online. I actually like being wrong sometimes, because it means I am learning something new.

Same with some of my ideas, if anyone is studying all the threads I've wrote about they may think what's he been drinking, the majority of the time the responses I give seem apt, or sometimes it seemed ok but other posters then explain why my idea is pickles ect which then helps me to improve or learn more and refine the perspectives I advocate.

FuckingHellAdele · 27/08/2023 21:43

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

It's Murphy's

willWillSmithsmith · 27/08/2023 22:10

This is a weird thread. I must be thick because I don’t really get it. Time for bed methinks.

When complaining about people being arses, it's best that you don't come across as an arse. You might want to work on this.

I am truly honoured that anyone is even responding to a tread I started, but Classics??? I could faint with ecstasy/embarrassment.

Well- any of you who have spelled a name as simple as Murphy wrong are obviously either thick or completely unreasonable! 🤣

As you were...

You see, this is the perfect response, admitting you don't get it, rather than posting a nasty response when you don't get it. Have a good night.

Wow. Just wow. We ‘lack perspective’? Because we are ‘old enough to be your mother’? And our lives are sheltered and closed’?

What the actual fuck?

Yeah you totally get us nasty ancient old coffin dodgers. Well done you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The word is Murphrys, similar to Murphy's which means that...if you read the thread, you would know what it meant, which illustrates my point.

@Tiredalwaystired @FuckingHellAdele @Fallingthroughclouds

I think I found you....

The biggest give away is when you ask for like career advice and they say when I graduated in 1982 I applied for a top job and got it so maybe you are lazy and need to work harder.

Or where they say things like does one not send children to grandma's house instead of paying expensive nursery bills. Well great but I had to move to get these so called easy top jobs and now grandma is 100s of miles away so... or telling me how much nursey was in like 1996.

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??
