What have you been flamed for?

Christina_Diane · April 2012

Let's have some fun

So there is a lot of flaming that happens either on TK, TN, or TB. What have you been flamed for?

Rules: No flaming in this post. The poster has already been flamed, and it doesn't need to happen again.

Saying the word gay. oooooooooooooooo

I was flamed on the Pets board for asking for dog house recommendations. It was before I understood the dangers of leaving pets outside for extended times unsupervised. We ended up buying an expensive dog house (a couple hundred bucks), and now it just sits outside because our girl is inside all of the time now. I should have listened to them.

When I was trying to conceive this baby, I made a post about not wanting a December baby because it was close to Christmas. I went on to conceive a Jan. baby and lost it.

I accidentally put the (very) wrong weight of a baby and hinted that the baby was "overweight" without using those words. His family called him overweight. I don't even know the kid. I was told to buy size 3T for the kid's first birthday. That seems big, but this is my first kid, so I had/have no idea.

Not owning up to my lame AE quick enough.

I also git flamed on BOTB for getting mad at an AE for her comments and taking it seriously. Then when I defended myself, I got flamed for talking back to a regular poster. Lose lose situation. I just exited the post to avoid more drama.

I was flamed when I was pregnant with Adelynn for posting that I was worried about my lack of weight gain and being 4 weeks behind on my measurements. I guess people thought I was bragging that I hadn't gained a lot. I ended up being induced early because of her lack of growth and then there's the whole genetic condition that causes growth restriction thing, so yeah, wasn't bragging.

I'd heard about the knot from a wedding-obsessed coworker, so when my super-commitment-phobe self discovered that my then-BF/now-DH was about to propose (when we had never, ever discussed marriage), I freaked the F out and sought advice from the anonymous interwebz. I went to an aptly named board called "Not Engaged Yet" and posted my "OMGZ, I think my BF is proposing and I'm not ready" predicament. Oh, the flames!! And that, dear children, is how I learned the acronym MUD.

When DH & I were dating, I decided to take a month off of the pill (mainly because I forgot to schedule my annual appointment in time). Well, I was "late" that month and freaking out that I was pregnant, and I definitely considered posting on TTGP that I thought I was KU and what should I do?? I'm so glad that I didn't make that mistake. Of course, I wasn't "late," and rather O'd later due to coming off of the pill (which I learned by lurking). In fact, it helped me conceive this time, because I knew I would potentially O late again once stopping the pill for real this time!

Considering rehoming our 10-year-old cat due to him getting very little attention from us and to avoid stressing him with a plane ride when we move cross country.

Wow, that would've been really bad! My blunder was during the heyday of NEY (late 2007). Once I got my knot footing, I learned to appreciate their humor and perhaps participated in some beebee baiting myself: "Tell me more about your Disney Princess-themed wedding! It sounds so unique! Might I suggest ribbon wands?"

My wedding month board on TB was very, ah, snarky. One day they asked for everyone to say who they wanted to kick in the vagina and I chose this one woman because we didn't get along. I took the idea of vag-kicks as a hypothetical because, you know, I don't know these people and couldn't pick them out of a line-up. I was never going to ACTUALLY kick her in the vagina. Anyway, I got flamed because she was pregnant at the time. So even though everyone else was okay with getting vag-kicked, she was off-limits because she was pregnant.

LMAO!!!

My first post ever on TB was on the TTGP board. I posted asking if there were any other "young" ladies trying to get pregnant. I was 20 and DH was 21 when we starting trying to conceive.

I meant no harm by it, but the ladies there took it as I was saying that I couldn't/wouldn't learn or relate from their experiences due to age difference.

Oh well.

That is friggin hilarious!

Being concerned my mom would have her baby around the time of my shower and wouldn't be able to make it. She had my little brother the day before my shower which actually worked out perfectly in the end (I live 2 hours from her and was already in town so I got to be in the delivery room with her!). I couldn't ask for a cuter little brother and they are both healthy and safe.

The baby shower board, for numerous posts/comments on posts. Just found that group of board followers to be particularity snarky and big on the flaming. Stopped looking at those posts because they ALWAYS seemed to go downhill.

mrs_j_may_08 · April 2012

On TK during wedding planning I put an AW post that my first shower was that weekend and it was a Pampered Chef bridal shower, where the guests come and basically it's a PC party but they buy gifts for me that I've registered for (along with stuff for themselves if they want). Apparently, this was uber unacceptable and gift-grabby... whatevs, it's the norm for women in my family and it was a family shower.

Spelling baby's the wrong way (babies). I was typing fast and did not realize I typed the word incorrectly until there was a post about it a few minutes later, and then another mention of it two days later!
