WHY ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED??

240 replies

Doingtheboxerbeat · 27/08/2023 20:36

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 🤭.

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.

Your post has it in a nutshell.
And I apologise but the crab cake thingy. I'm off to bed now because I'm done . Night .

@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. 😂

I'm not mad at you 🤣 I'll say it again for the hard of thinking your posts are fucking ridiculous...

and you said yourself you've only commented on 1 other thread this week so it really shouldn't be hard for you to figure out

ImustLearn2Cook · 28/08/2023 02:18

@Doingtheboxerbeat Yanbu and this is the most entertaining thread that I have read in a while. Luv it!

7eleven · 28/08/2023 02:19

Meanwhile, who is keeping the cat company?

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 02:20

@ItstimeToMoveagain

Way to miss the point! Not sure why you are attacking me...

Its 2.19 on a bank holiday sunday/Monday. Sweetie you need to go and attack me on that other thread. I am ready. Game on. 😘

7eleven · 28/08/2023 02:22

Oh bore off @CakeForAll21 stop making the thread all about you.

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 02:24

@7eleven

Over 50? ? 😝

SquirrelFeeder · 28/08/2023 02:32

Reading comprehension wasn't taught for a number of years. These people are the result

Tbf on the app you don't have the option of reading OPs updates like on the Web based version...unless I'm doing it wrong....

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

Exactly.

Theoriginalmrscillianmurphy · 28/08/2023 03:06

Personally, I find Mumsnet to be quite full of high earning women whom hate sex and men.

Oh, and their step children and let's not forget their in laws, in particular their mother in law.

ItstimeToMoveagain · 28/08/2023 03:19

Who let the kids out 👀👀

The cat is cat stoned from all the cat nip in the crab cakes

CakeForAll21 · 28/08/2023 03:20

@7eleven

I think my comments might have been too subtle for some people. I read it as people not being embarrassed about bold and nasty statements. My comment was a classic ironic mumsnet statement but it brought out the exact people it was targeted at. Who then failed to read the posts or understand Murphy's law not to be confused with the other one. Chaos arrived😏

Unless she did actually mean muphry law and I fucked up. 🤔... oh the embarrassment. 😂

TheShellBeach · 28/08/2023 03:33

So anyway.
Is this a cat thread?

WHY ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED??
TheShellBeach · 28/08/2023 03:36

Because if it is a cat thread, I've got absolutely loads of pictures of cats.
You're weclome.

I'm so sorry but it was meant to be Muphrys law, but I fucked it up - royally. We can both flounce/ name change together.

It's not no, I sorely wish it was though.But thank you for the cat pics- always appreciated.

Oh well I had some fun winding some highly stung people up. Still waiting for this other post I have randomly also offended someone on. 😂

Ahh, well this would make so much sense for the majority of thread responses - since I have only read MN on a phone via Google 🫣 .

Autieangel · 28/08/2023 04:04

I have occasionally read a post. Had a strong response then realised I forgot to read the updates/drip feed.

Well at least you proved a point that some people don't bother reading the op
