As I scroll through various chats in here, names pop up.
One in particular always gets me going, although they are not at fault.
However, every time I see 'HowVeryDareYou' my thoughts go something like this, "What? Now what the hell have I done....oh, nothing, I'm on Gransnet! I'm ok. No problem. All's good, I'm fine. I've done nothing wrong!"
Until a few minutes later and the moniker pops up again...lol.

Do any of you have similar reactions to any names in here?

For me it is (was? I’ve not seen a post for a while) mrshat.
Yes, Mrs Hat was probably the intention but speed reading made it Mr Shat in my head!
Oops.

Sorry
Irrelevant
But no OP!

There’s also a poster who seems to tell us where to strike
“Hit here”

I have reactions but none I can repeat here ?

Lucca sorry to be dim but you’ve lost me? ?

Also I do wonder why some posters use numbers in their user name.

Because I had an IT problem and had to re-register. Wanting to keep the same name, I tried Callistemon with one 'l' but the misspelling annoyed me so i added a number. ?

The names of posters who get me going are ones who I think are at fault. Ones who consider themselves better than others, to have better opinions, better grammar, fancier clothes - and, when it suits, worse problems, harder things to deal with. Unpleasant people.

Me too Urms. Not a new Mister Men book then grin

Blossoming Sun 25-Sep-22 20:44:30

I don’t think posters are at fault just because I disagree with them.

JaneJudge Sun 25-Sep-22 20:45:45

I knew this would escalate quickly

Granny23 Sun 25-Sep-22 20:48:58

Urms in my case it is because I AM - GRANNY TO THREE dgc.

Grammaretto Sun 25-Sep-22 21:00:12

We had a thread a while back where posters told us why they had chosen their usernames
Mine has nothing to do with grammar. It's because I was sipping amaretto when I joined and since I am a grandma, thought to combine.
Also and alas, the name I wanted was already taken.
But MrsHat is a funny one.

I knew this would escalate quickly

But why ??? I sometimes think “what a daft name” but it’s only my opinion ! Is this meant to be a thread (again..) about “some posters are mean/rude/argumentative ?!

JaneJudge Sun 25-Sep-22 21:16:06

some posters can't help themselves

Blossoming Sun 25-Sep-22 21:48:27

Lucca don’t you dare or I will blame Brex……… grin

Prentice Sun 25-Sep-22 21:49:15

No Lucca and JaneJudge you have it quite wrong I believe.
It is about looking at names of posters and not about what you think of the person behind the name.
HowVeryDareYou your name makes me smile every time.
There are other names which are very inventive or simply lovely names, of flowers and so on.

I think Terribull is a good one, but I've no idea whether the person is bullish or not. It just makes me laugh.
