I just get so bored with people bullshitting about anything and everything because they just have to express an opinion.

er, like?

SpeedyGonzalez · 26/06/2010 23:52

Just about anything! This thread was inspired by the latest in the old 'why do people bf toddlers' thread. But it applies to any instance of people making up stuff to pretend they know what they're talking about.

me too, get bored of folk being thick basically

OnEdge · 26/06/2010 23:56

what have they said.............

My husband was just telling me that baby has red eyes cos he has hay fever. That pisses me off when he decides to diagnose the kids.

And I was about to give the 1 year old something peanutty, and just checked with DH has he ever had peanuts?

"Yes......(I give him the peanuts).....I expect he must have done."

I said "Have you ever seen him eat peanuts?"

"Well, you probably have havnt you?"

Why didnt he just say "I dont know"

It runs in his family, they have to know the answers, cant just say dunno.

scottishmummy · 26/06/2010 23:59

hobbgoblin · 27/06/2010 00:00

funnysinthegarden · 27/06/2010 00:02

OK, whappened? 'Breast/bottlefeeding' is a nightmare at the best of times

SpeedyGonzalez · 27/06/2010 00:03

Old gimmer? Speak for yourself, scotmum!

hobb - I was on the 'you don't actually know what you're talking about so why don't you shudduppa your face and learn something before prattling on about nothing' side.

OP posts:
scottishmummy · 27/06/2010 00:06

threads opining about other threads are wanky

SpeedyGonzalez · 27/06/2010 00:07

You should read my posts properly, scotmum. This thread was about ALL instances of bullshitting, but was inspired by another thread.

OP posts:
funnysinthegarden · 27/06/2010 00:07

SpeedyGonzalez · 27/06/2010 00:17

Rofl! I can never work out whether you want people to take you seriously or if you're just having a larf. I reckon the latter.

Now piss off my thread, you old crab. There's a stale smell that keeps following you around; it's keeping the punters away.

OP posts:
scottishmummy · 27/06/2010 00:19

stale smell?that will be the eau de bucky and vosene

SpeedyGonzalez · 27/06/2010 00:25

PMSL!

I'm trying to think up a witty riposte...am failing - new baby sleep deprivation and all that!

I have to concede that you've won this round, but I'll be back one day when my brain comes back to me.

Night night you crusty old scab.
