Regarding the post about "NO ONE can predict when you will go into labor" and the direction it has taken... (I don't know how to link it here on my iPad so, clearly, I am an idiot) ...Wow! Some of you are just straight up mean girls!!! Please keep in mind that I'm not against the intention of the original post, nor the person who started it, but rather where it's ended up, which is basically just to make fun of people on here. You do realize you're complaining about someone "wasting your precious time" by asking a repetitive question and then taking said precious time to scour the Internet for the perfect GIF to sum up that person's stupidity in your opinion. Huh???? Who even has time to sit on here all day and post and post and post and be a freaking hall monitor for this FREE online forum? I. Just. Don't. Get. It. What a shame that women have to puff up their chest and act like this toward total strangers who are clearly just on here to get some advice...and not to ruin your day by the way. Sorry that someone posting in the wrong place makes you absolutely meltdown into a huge pile of crazy. Some people, meanwhile, are busy and have lives and even if they initially read the rules they may not have the time to read every single post or question that gets put up on a minute-to-minute basis on here. They might make an oopsie. I totally understand seeing a repetive post, cringing to yourself, and then gently reminding that person that there is a better place to find the answer they might be looking for. I get that. But the way some of you act like someone just broke the law is freaking hilarious. I mean, just sitting online and making fun of people? Does that make you feel special? Meanwhile, check out how many ladies feel the same way by doing a quick google search of "Mean girls on The Bump"...or something like it. I thought surely I cannot be the only one that feels this way and sure enough I was right. This site is known for its bitchy ladies and I totally agree after following for months. Some of you (who are regular posters and take up the majority of the bandwidth on here) seem like nasty, bitter little girls and I can't help but wonder wtf motivates some of you to take time out of your day to come on here and act like you are the Goddess of the June 2015 Moms Club on TheBump.com. Good on ya! Hope you can put that on your resume some day. Better yet, I hope you can share with your new baby how you defended their rights day in and day out from silly people who posted in the wrong place or asked a dumb question on this one website on the Internet. Whatever. I'm sure I will now be blackballed from this community because this post is absolutely going to make the inner circle's faces melt off, but I had to effing say it. No problem here cutting ties. And feel free to respond with a nasty comment but I won't be coming back here to read it. I truly hope everyone can resume focusing on their beautiful, precious babies, which is why we were all here in the first place. And if someone posts in the wrong place and you find yourself getting really pissed off, take a deep breath, realize it's not going to make or break your day, and you CAN actually go offline and get some social interaction from your friends out there in the real world. Good luck and much love to all the lovely ones on here! Peace out Bump!
Re: Why the nasty/bitter replies on here?
I don't think I need to explain myself.
It's pretty simple.
I'm so annoyed with these ladies complaining about us being mean! Hell that other thread the girl got all whiney because we didn't spoon feed her what she wanted but yet directed her to a bunch of threads that could help And didn't appreciate that either. Ugh
Furthermore, i could use those same 5 seconds to search for a thread regarding a symptom I'm experiencing. Any wayyyyyyy nice hearing from you, white knight. I hope you sleep easier knowing you've taught us meanies a lesson in kindness by being a mean girl yourself. see ya!
Ill just direct everyone over to the cluster-F that is the May board for the last 3 weeks as to why we are trying to spear-head the constant "AM I IN LABOR? What can I do to go into labor?" posts from happening.
Oh wait. No. I actually will forget about this thread the moment I press Post. Hope OP feels better, though. That's a lot of anger!
AND REPENT!
1.) Are too damn nosey to actually leave. ( we know you lurk )
2.) Bitch about ppl bitching
3.) Want to tell everyone how rude they are being by.... Wait for it... BEING RUDE.
4.) Tell us how they have no time to do... A B C.. Yet write out a 15 page letter to the bump gods....
:-@
I try to be nice... But damn ... This post have me heartburn.
One user in particular has been quite gentle and accommodating to these inquiries and she still gets told she's a jerk because the OPs don't like her answers (the conversation goes something like: "Hey! Welcome to the board, take a look around and you'll get the info you need. Try these threads specifically!" with the response: "Omg, how rude of you, I'm new here and I don't have TIME to look around! Just tell me what I want to hear or shut up!"). I'm inclined to think the stuck-up, bratty users are the ones who can't accept any "affront" to their Special Snowflake Status.
