Even if you know you're right and they're wrong. Even though it isn't an illness. Even though they're in the wrong thread and that entitles you to say whatever the hell you like.

ffs what a silly thing to say

Ohh, your like God or something. How nice of you to decide someone has had a hard enough time to deserve your slack giving.

Just don't give slack at all - far less judgemental.

Of course if you read someone has just lost a baby/husband.job/ dog or having a hard time you cut them slack.
but being pregnant is not a hard time.

OP: Can't we all be nicer to eachother and give eachother a break?

All:No! Get fucked! You're all cunts!

expatinscotland · 02/09/2008 17:40

LOL @ 'battleaxeready'.

Touche! Touche!

VictorianSqualor · 02/09/2008 17:57

Will you lot stop talking about quiche ffs.
Have some scotch eggs and sausage rolls.

2shoes · 02/09/2008 18:19

i fancy scotch pie. the hairey bakers showed one on tv last night, it looked yummy.

lou031205 · 02/09/2008 19:04

Nobody was agreeing with anyone because of who they are, it was because of what they said.

I stand by my opinion - pregnant or not, HSM did not give all the info in her OP, and then got the hump when that info wasn't taken into account

In what RL situation are people meant to be telepathic?

Give over, and move on. Please

MissCocoChanel · 02/09/2008 19:10

Did someone ask me to cut them some slacks?

VictorianSqualor · 02/09/2008 19:14

hahaha

SalLikesCoffee · 02/09/2008 19:14

Urgh, how I hate it if someone starts the "oh but they're all horrible to the poor newbies" line. What utter rubbish.

Coming from a (now hugely embarrassed to be counted as one) new poster.

Oh, and I'm insecure, and still in no clique. Life's not fair. I want something. Cake would do.

VictorianSqualor · 02/09/2008 19:23

You can join my cleak Sal, It's only me in it at the moment but it's cosy in here.

SalLikesCoffee · 02/09/2008 19:27

Whoooo hooo! Only if you have cake though

Ronaldinhio · 02/09/2008 19:30

I'm new and someone has yet to be horrible to me. Can someone please address this?

VictorianSqualor · 02/09/2008 19:32

Ronaldinhio, you're a cunt.
Consider yourself home.

Splus1 · 02/09/2008 19:37

Maybe AIBU needs to come with a health warning, like ',do not post on here if you are of a sensitive or nervous disposition, this thread may contain reference to sex, drugs, and quiches'. That would stop any naive souls who accidently wander in to the unknown

Ronaldinhio · 02/09/2008 19:42

Yeah (kicks off shoes and wipes nose on the curtains)
I accept your heartfelt welcome

juneybean · 02/09/2008 20:34

Surely a seasoned poster should know what comes with the teritory of posting in the AIBU area.

Why should cut anyone else slack, we've all got ishoos and no one cuts us any slack in the real world.

juneybean · 02/09/2008 20:35

Why should we*

shatteredmumsrus · 02/09/2008 20:38

Can I just ask what is the problem with the AIBU post? I have used it, whats the stigma around it please

ScottishMummy · 02/09/2008 21:35

no stigma just sheer hilarity at some of the rubbish/bizarre scenarios/patently daft stuff posted

esp when folk reveal by stealth like water torture

love the humphy
i wis only askin...
...aye well you mind yer beak

oh hell just thought about it - yes some stigma, tis most surreal thread going

not the place for deep intellectual introspection or well considered pondering

shatteredmumsrus · 03/09/2008 08:14

I agree there are some daft posts on there - nevertheless its very popular.

ScottishMummy · 03/09/2008 08:37
