AAAArrrggggggggggggggggghhh!

Right, sorry, move along now, have screamed and got it off chest. Actually it is mainly one particular poster who is irritating me with saccharine tweeness.

OP posts:

It's called rubbernecking! We all do it and feel the shame....human nature.

Angeliz · 09/03/2010 10:09

this is like school

Very nasty thread that makes everyone paranoid. i always think in 'real life' when someone starts something like this, 'why do people feel the need to upset other people?', i just don't get it.

I really do think if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all.

bit of peurile argy bargy distracts from rl.

notnowbernard · 09/03/2010 10:10

Agree with what most on this thread have said (Custy, SM etc)

I must admit I have NO IDEA who you are talking about, which pleases me greatly

Ok I have worked out who everyone else means, whether or not it is who the OP means I don't know.

OP, things are irritating. That's life. If you were getting irritated with MN you should have switched off the computer and gone to do something else. This is childish and unkind and has predictably led to people speculating about who you meant. Did you really not realise that would happen?

Childish.

thesunshinesbrightly · 09/03/2010 10:12

Could be me as i don't use paragraphs etc.. all of the time, and you want to know why..... cause it never take's long for someone to come on and say something, find it very amusing.

OP bitching then to chicken shit to say who it is.

notnowbernard · 09/03/2010 10:13

'chicken shit'

God, haven't heard that for years. Love it

bonkers as conkers is much more original

thesunshinesbrightly · 09/03/2010 10:16

notnowbernard

Thought it fitted the mood.

GibbonInARibbon · 09/03/2010 10:16

I love it when you get all ise SM and say 'just words on a screen'

I always read it and nod sagely

notnowbernard · 09/03/2010 10:17

Who remembers "You're hard, where's your handbag?"

As we're in the playground and all that

GibbonInARibbon · 09/03/2010 10:17

That would be 'wise' not 'ise' obv.

MumOfAPickle · 09/03/2010 10:17

Ahhhh, I miss high school. No idea who OP is talking about though.... Am like the quiet one in the classroom who no-one notices and who hasn't a clue what's going on...shame I wasn't like that at school really - got myself into too much trouble

scottishmummy · 09/03/2010 10:18

some mentalists claim i stalk them for sole purpose of aggro.you stupid boot i say.i argue with everyone not just you

AnyFucker · 09/03/2010 10:20

having a little giggle that one poster thought this was about me

"hun" and "AnyFucker" in the same sentence ?

nah

< settles back to carry on watching >

catastrojb · 09/03/2010 10:20

MumofaPickle that's me too - except I was like that at school (horrible non-existent teacher's pet type . If I met my school me again I'd give her a good slapping)

Can't believe this thread is now so long. Don't know who, don't care. Have never "met" anyone on MN that annoys me with their writing style - content maybe, style no. YABU.

i AM tempted to dig and find out but i'm gonna clean my bathroom instead

PuzzleRocks · 09/03/2010 10:24

Exactly Catastro. Like ScottishMummy. I don't always agree with her content. Bloody love her "clip round the ear" style though.

SM - I can't believe anyone would think you stalk them. You seem like the last person who would give a shit enough to do that.
