I feel the need to quote WanderingTrolley's masterly summary of the historic Post Office thread:

The post office thread.
OP: What to get my dd for her birthday, she is spoiled in a material way.
Lots of posters: What what what this is an outrage! Why would you spoil your child you dreadful failure of a mother.
Leetle fishy voice: What about a toy post office? I had one, oh how I loved my toy post office.
LOP: And now you expect our help! The cheek of it, I?m on the fucking breadline and you?re moaning because you can?t choose between the brand new bike or the extravagant dolls? house, you utter cowbag.
LFV: It had stamps and envelopes and you could send pretend letters, oh it was dainty and wee. You never see them any more, it?s such a shame
LOP: It?s all your own fault, I?m fucking appalled. You only came here to boast about how much money you?ve got and how you spend it all on your little princess well fuck you! We just had to put our shoes on the fire so we can heat up some water to eat for dinner.
LFV: (whimpering) ...i-i-ink pads...and a weeny pillar box....little letters and telegrams...(sob)
OP: Oh bugger I meant she?s not spoiled in a material way.
LOP: I?m not reading another word you whore. Just give her a lump of dirt and tell her be grateful. She?ll be an utter horror when she?s a teenager you mark my words.
Someone new: I?ve only read the OP.....
I think I remember who it was too. Poor woman. I bet she previews everything now.
