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 🤭.

@ItstimeToMoveagain

So I am compared to a racist and now I have an anecdotal I have read your other posts comment and less said the better. Which is a subtle dig and the nastiness I ironically said. Oh the irony 😂

Well I'm pretty sure I'm not old enough to be your mother but your posts are ridiculous

Ok, I’m not good at this, ages, generations, people mash it up, I think sometimes it is reversed daughter/mum thing?

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 01:11

@ItstimeToMoveagain

There you go again. 😂

How the no matter how hard you try the worst always happens and it quickly descends into chaos. Is that "murfees" law.

Fyi I have only posted on 1 other thread this week so who the fcks knows who you are on about. 😏

I'm not your sweetie

twirfle · 28/08/2023 01:16

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?)

Easystuff · 28/08/2023 01:19

I have dyslexia and learning difficulties so my spelling and grammar will always be shit no matter what.

When people have not understood my situation/post . They try and tell me what I mean. Then argue that I'm wrong about myself/situation 🤔

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 01:22

@twirfle

Seriously read the thread. I do not have a problem with it. It was ironic and anecdotal. It's a classic mumsnet response to the op. You know the, how know matter how hard you try the worst always happens and it always descends into chaos. Or simply making a tit of yourself but being so bold and confident about it that you are so sure you are right. Etc etc

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 01:25

@Easystuff

I have dyslexia too and people assume by my lack of spelling and grammar I am thick and not understood my own post but it is usually them that struggles with basic reading comprehension and completely miss the point. It's just so ironic.

Laugh about 😂

Of jesus. That is the irony???

You have already called me ridiculous once tonight. It's getting "old" pun intended. 😂

@CakeForAll21 I'm not diagnosed, but I think I am100% dyslexic and arguing on a forum is painful when you make the tiniest mistake . I am fully realising this in HD.

Lovinglife50 · 28/08/2023 01:44

What the fuck am I reading!? I made two comments and made one post

👏 Loud ,wrong and confidently snarky. Bingo.

I wasn't cutting it as a grammar Nazi so I thought I'd try something else 😀

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 01:46

@Doingtheboxerbeat

Well I read them all how they should be anyways. 😂

The worst is when they are referring to you and you have know idea what the heck they mean. You have this moment of did I get my grammar and spelling that wrong or did they just enter the arena to "ruin" my day. 🤔

I haven't read the whole thread, obviously, because my brain is too delicate for that sort of thing, but here's what I've learned by vaguely squinting at it with one eye whilst the other eye is wandering about the room, thinking its own thoughts:

  1. Old people are vile, and should be smooshed.
  2. Murphry's Law is clearly the law that states that, if you try to explain Muphry's Law, it will inevitably and repeatedly be confused with Murphy's Law and the discussion will become A SHAMBLES.
  3. Something something something cat.
Also, your OP has offended me. How dare you throw crab cakes into your neighbour's house. You don't even know what is in those crab cakes. What if they contain HRT or ketamine? Please try to do better.
CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 02:00

@LuciaPillson

Correction...

Not all old people are vile just the ones who do not read the post.

I think I hit the jackpot with being compared to a racist and now got an anecdotal "I have read your other comments on another thread and they are ridiculous". Whilst appearing to have failed to read this one.

Also who the Fck knows what random other thread shes mad at me for. 😂
