I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

Don't click if you don't like the Mail

I can't find a better source for this non-story because it's a non-story

Or

I like causing bun fights over DM links.

I'm not looking for a bun fight = I'm so totally looking for a bun fight I have just drooled in my lap in anticipation.

You sound lovely. = Despite your OP making it plain that you are distressed/hurt/angry/confused, I'm going to pick you up one word you may have used in an ill-judged manner in the white heat of posting.

(Often followed by a little humphy face.)

You can't disagree with a regular without all their clique piling in to have a go = I have been an arse, called on it and I'm still persisting in being an arse.

"My cousin's, daughter's friend had X Y Z happen" = I am making this up because I want to make my point sound more weighty but I have no evidence.

interesting first post = Troll

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 17:22

I don't want to brag, but do you think my child is gifted because they can recite all of Shakespeare, do advanced maths and has written a novel? He's 2. - I know my child is gifted. I just like to brag.

MiaCulper · 04/04/2013 17:24

The other night there was a brilliant chorus of, "Where's the OP?" and, "Still no update?" etc.,etc, starting at about 9.15pm, when the OP had said that she was going to have a serious talk with her DH, who was expected home at 9pm.

FGS, give the woman half a chance before you start your rubber-necking.

I've just seen that thread Fanjo. Inspired I give you...

I don't want some big debate = I want to rile you all up because I am an attention seeking twat and/or 14 and on school hols.

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 04/04/2013 17:26

Grin tee. Or
I'm worried my child isn't normal because he is really interested in learning latin and has an iq of 1062.

Away with you, braggy braggerson! Grin

ParsingFancy · 04/04/2013 17:26

But I want to protect the poor, mug-like, lesser MNers from getting drawn in by an evil troll = this is the 73rd post calling troll in two pages, but I couldn't bear to be left out of the pack pile-on.

(Lesser spotted nowadays.)
