This is a question Things we do to fit in

"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."

What have you done to fit in?

I am a sad old man......
And I have to make up stories on some crappy forum so I can fit in with a bunch of other wankers that I have never met, just to soothe my old man ego that actually, sitting in a dark room on a weekend evening, with my wife having left me and taken the kids, and no chance of ever finding a lady friend again, is a cool and smart way to live my life.

As long as I have the approval of strangers, I am a cool dude.

Or a sad old man.
You choose..............

I am a sald old man.
And I have to write abuse on some crappy forum so I can fit in with a bunch of other wankers that I have never met, just to make myself better about sitting in a dark room on a weekend evening, with my wife having...

Oh, fuck it, I'm not finishing that post, the sheer fact you wrote it wasted enough of my life.

Christ!
After 10 minutes of confusion, I just noticed the 3rd 's'.

Ahh
I have to admit, when I furst lurked around these pages, I wasn't sure how to take the plentiful supply of stories for QOTW that Legless produced.

I think that there's truth in each of them; they're an enjoyable read, so who gives a fuck?

Better a decent story than a miserable comment.

Cheers(!)

My choice is...
...to point out that your limp, jealousy-fuelled broadside may just be the most sincere and desperate attempt to fit in I have seen in many a year, and so is quite appropriate for this QOTW.

Well done you.

This is me.
To the letter.

Does anyone like me yet? I'll buy a cat if it'll help.

I'm only 20% joking too.

"And I have to make up stories on some crappy forum so I can fit in with a bunch of other wankers that I have never met"

Ergo, you must be a wanker - excellent start to your post I think . . .


"just to soothe my old man ego that actually, sitting in a dark room on a weekend evening, with my wife having left me and taken the kids"

Let's see - looking at your profile and previous answers - you're a woman (so no old man ego), who had trouble having a baby (ooh - aren't you special!!!! You got pregnant - shall we all bow down before you?) and you're a tightarse (I do my food shopping after 6 pm)
Gee, can't really compare to the "sad old man can you?"

"and no chance of ever finding a lady friend again, is a cool and smart way to live my life"

Well, you *would* know everything about smart wouldn't you? After all: " . . .However, Mr Stella won't eat reduced food so I remove the yellow stickers before he comes home from work." Class act there girl!!!!!


"As long as I have the approval of strangers, I am a cool dude.

Or a sad old man.
You choose.............."

fuck me, let's hope that child you spawned doesn't turn into the harridan her mother is.

How about a rewrite thus:

"I am a sad old woman, who thinks I achieved something in life by spawning a child. I lie to my partner, and then have the gall to call bullshit on someone else. I *am* a cool dude."


Or I'm a fuckwit - you decide.

Fascinating.
Legless, how the hell do you inspire so many of these twits?

Ms. Stella, allow me to point something out here. Legless (and, for that matter, myself and some of the other posters) has admitted his age, and that he's a fair bit older than the other posters here. As a result, he has a lot more life experience to draw upon for his stories.

Most of his stories ring true to me- they're things that I can well see happening. Some may be embellished, but that's a part of storytelling. And the real point of the QOTW is to tell your story, and be entertaining in doing so.

Offhand I can't think of a single story he's told that was too improbable to be true, unless it was an old joke that he retold- and when he does that he adds a line at the end to denote it as such. Therefore I really don't know what you're on about.

But be that as it may, you're really not showing yourself in a good light here. Please stop- it's embarrassing to watch.

I Don't Know Mate
they just seem to crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches.

For some reason, what I write gets up some peoples noses and they feel the need to have go. I just hope that it makes them feel big and brave and it compensates for them having a crap, uninteresting life, sitting at home with their snot-nosed brat, swigging Tesco Value wine and eating food that's past it's sell-by date. Still, hubby doesn't notice as he's stoned out his gourd and playing X-Box.

Right happy little campers these proto-chavs are.

And me? I'm hiding from heat down here in Sunny Melbourne and waiting for it to get cool enough so I can go outside and crack a bottle of rather nice Shiraz and watch the stars in the Southern skies with my missus....

Cheers

Aaahhhh! Now it makes sense! Your Australian!!!
Aaahhhh! Now it makes sense! You're Australian!!! Your bitterness stems from a third-world inferiority complex and resentment that your ancestors were convicts and you compensate by making assumptions about other peoples' situations and bragging about drinking cheap wine in a dusty backyard with a woman called Darlene! Or am I just resorting to stereotypes born out of total fucking ignorance?
G'day!

Close, But No Cigar
I, a Brit, a Geordie, who moved down under over a year ago....

But the rest is pretty close.

Heh ...
Attempting to cash in on a competent and witty regular poster by choosing a very unimaginative misspelling of their sig as your own.

Madam, you inadvertantly win this week's QOTW.

Congratulations, you really take the 't' out of poster.

"He's none the wiser and I have money left at the weekend for treats!!"
OR, and here's a novel idea, you could earn your own money, to buy your own treats, and not just pike off some man!
