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 🤭.

Not to be confused with Murphy's laww^.
Muphry's law is an adage that states: "If you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written."[1] The name is a deliberate misspelling of "Murphy's law".

Thank you for your service, but I think I have proven my point beautifully that people will rant at me and take the piss regardless of any/ many updates.

I love all of those people who have not read the posts, typed 'It's Murphy's', and then moved merrily on with their lives.

I need to be more Those People!

Sadly, I will always be a you're spelling Muphry wrong person 😂

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

I’ve just been reading the ‘two year olds shouldn’t dare to breathe on trains thread’ and you’ve hit the nail on the head and made me feel a bit better. It’s easier to deal with people’s toxic opinions taking over theads when remembering that all that negativity says more about them then anything.

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.

That made me laugh. My adult son with severe autism was very overweight. He doesn’t understand that eating too much is unhealthy or makes you gain weight. Saying no to food can cause extreme behaviour. I’ve had “why don’t you just say no” “why don’t you put him on a diet” etc. honestly I wish I’d thought of that 😂

You are not wrong. My god, it's like a science experiment and I actually deserve some kind of prize.

But who is who? Or which is which however you want to phase it.

It's an online forum so will you ever really know.

Smartstuffed · 27/08/2023 23:06

I'm enjoying this thread. It's been just like when a group of my colleagues go for a drink after work. I enjoy watching how things can descend into chaos. Someone makes a statement; others will chime in; one or two will correct the first person with incorrect assertions of their own.

And further chaos ensues when others join in at the tail end and add their tangential tuppence-ha'pennies into the mix. The person who started the convo ends up bemused and shaking their head... 😆

s this M person who has the law (qv) connected to a certain Sod?.

Could be connected to Sodoff Baldrick although he specialises in plans not laws.

You missed a comma.

I feel like I'm at a festival where all the stages are in the same field at the same time blasting music out around me. This thread is a weird one.

Someone has been putting Ketamine in the HRT.

I am actually waiting for HRT (which makes a whole lot of sense) but I would love there to be ketamine thrown in.

Have you cancelled the cheque, OP?

I think this one also deserves the other MN favourite "are you on glue ?"

(frankly, even if no-one else is, I feel as though I am....)
