We need a men's version of the "am I being unreasonable..." thread

[DaddsterInAPearTree]

We never say that - we know if we're being unreasonable. I would acknowledge that we don't always know if we're behaving like a complete arse, however.

How about:
"Am I being an utter twat..?"
"Why for Pete's sake did I..?"
"What on Earth was I thinking..?"

"I'm in the doghouse again because..."

"Oh shit, here we go..."

that's it then I am off out I can't take any more of this

I love the expression 'Christ on a bike...' - would it be possible to make that into thread title ?

Most of the threads in that topic are laughable anyway.

Nobody seems to be comfortable with their own point of view or be able to make a decision and be happy about it - they seem to want to seek approval for their feelings/actions from everyone else.

Some of them are funny though - and i guess it is a good place for some people to moan about other stupid people!

Too many 'faffers' about nowadays.

It would have to be called the 'I am being distant and moody because...'

--and all the posts would be totally blank.

No, you just have to simply turn it round.

I am being unreasonable.....

Gawd, we don't need anymore of those threads. they are full of fights. Actually men wouldn't behave like that would they

Thought you said Taffers for a minute Eric, I thought, That's a bit harsh on the Welsh!!

LOL.

Could I suggest "what on earth was I thinking?"

that always makes me alugh, because the first time Hugh Grant was interviewed on TV after THAT incident, Jonathon Ross went straight in, at the start of the interview, with
"I have to ask. What on earth were you thinking?"

how about...

"I need to say I'm sorry, but..."

i know my wife is right of course but......

"how can i turn this about so i seem in the right?"

How about:
"It is all my fault apparently because..."

for some unknown reason everything has gone pear shaped can u help me out here

"what did i say wrong?"

'I am sorry if you're upset because...'

Many, many times in the past year I've written threads with the title 'Can I Do Anything Right?'. Then deleted them because I knew everyone would just say 'No'

I love the AIBU threads. There's a classic one at the moment. Kofi Annan she's not.

Prize must go to HappyDaddy for the "I'm in the doghouse because..." It would be full of threads with speculation as to what the offender had actually done wrong. Could be good for a laugh.

"I know i'm wrong but i'm not going to admit it publicly until about three weeks later"

"let's avoid any confrontation by locking myself in the garage and tinkering with the car, and hope by the time i come out you will have given up"

"I know i said something like that but i shall confuse you with emotions until you believe that you misheard me"

Muhahahahahaha!

Da Ding - hope that was not my thread "kofi Annan" you're talking about?

Nope littleboo.

I'm all for trying not to intentionally offend anyone, but I think jumping on a turn of phrase is a bit oversensitive. Then again, I suppose if people are offended it's their right to register that.

Anyway, back to talking bollocks...

I think people say things in text that they wouldn't say person to person - that's why people get huffy.
