Always makes me laugh
when someone tells a satirical story that's obviously made up, and several people (usually the same people, actually) instantly jump on it, like flies to shit, saying "yeah, because this actually happened". Like you actually expect it to be true.

Are they so autistic and humourless that they can't see that it's meant to be in jest?

It's a fucking story, man. Get over it. I thought it was funny and well written.

Common sense returns to the Internet
Thanks Mr Burger. I can confirm that my original post was nothing more than a piece of creative writing, designed (like the rest of this website) to be of entertainment value only. I just find, like most of the fiction we see posted on qotw, that the story reads better if it's presented as if it were true.

To everyone who has complimented me above: thank you - your positive feedback makes my effort worthwhile.

To the poisonous "Honda Accord" clique: go away and create something - it'll make you a better person.

Ahh the old 'it was really a cunning satire to out the bullies' defence.

Umm, nope
It wasn't to "out the bullies", it was to entertain, and judging by most of the responses I succeeded in that goal. Interesting that you like to think of yourself as a bully. Could it be that you spent most of your life being the bully-ee, and you think you can turn that around on the Internet?

By the way, your profile says you have posted 128 stories on qotw. Where are they all? When I trawl through your history, all I see are snide one-line comebacks to other people's answers, many of which are repeated over and over again. Don't you get bored? Don't you feel a gnawing emptiness inside when all you contribute to a pleasant online conversation is negative comments?

Here's a little challenge for you: When the next qotw comes out, switch off the sarcasm and hostility, and switch on your creativity. Post a story - true or fictional, it doesn't matter - that you think will entertain the b3ta masses, and then sit back and wait for replies and clicks. I think you'll find it a much more rewarding experience, knowing that you've contributed something worthwhile, that people won't hate you for. Do it now, before it's too late and they have to carve "This REALLY happened" on your gravestone.

I'll be waiting...

Well I can see that you've clearly done your research here.

What a disappointing response

Mr Badger
Your sarcastic disdain would be a mite more convincing if you were not quite so willing to jump up and shout "Miss! Miss! There's a LIAR!" every single bleeding time.

You made your point several posts above. We're not stupid, we can work these things out for ourselves. Give it a rest.

I bet you go to the letters page in 'Razzle' first too.
