Flounces

29 May 2009

I think there are several types of flounce, having observed a fair few in my time on SH.
1. The 'you're all bastards and I hate you; I'm never ever going to frequent this forum again' This is often a reaction to something another forumite has said. It's the most dramatic one and is made more entertaining when the flouncer comes back. My personal favourite type of flounce, to watch.
2. The 'poor me, I'm going because I can't get any meets/PM's' flounce. A clear attempt to garner sympathy and a drift of PM's /offers of NSA sex.
3. The sneaky flounce - where they don't start their own flounce thread; they kind of post something in another thread about their boredom/annoyance about the forum/site, and how they're going to not bother any more.
4. The 'nobody takes any notice of anything I say so I'm going' flounce. rolleyes

A clear attempt to get forumites begging the flouncer to stay because they hang on the flouncer's every word.
Anyone seen any different ones, that I've missed?

I think number 1 is my favourite though - and another funny dimension to it, is when they go to another site, announce that they have come to find somewhere better to post - but still come back to SH :giggle:

But is that a flounce? I think it's just a better way to do it smile

The Demi-Flounce!
Where someone posts a hissyfit about how crap a site/its members/their ad responses are then changes their status to hidden and continues to log in every day lol

Yes, agreed and I've done that myself and come back when I was ready about 18 months later. I did regret deleting my 'free' account though and that was done in haste - duh! I'm not really one for self-obsessed drama unless it's West End musicals and showtunes! :rascal:
To be honest, any form of 'I'm going' just cries of 'I don't really want to and am looking for a reason/persuasion to stay' to me and I loathe it confused

I've no time for attention seekers and moaners but lots of time for anyone that genuinely has a problem I might be able to help with. Well I like to think I do anyway.
It's like suicides - the ones that really wanna do it, just do! They quietly slip away and nobody knows until they find them. The one's that don't stand on a box, tell the world they have a gun or bottle of pills, wave a flag, let off a flare and then usually end up feeling pretty stupid the next morning. That's not to say they don't deserve to be taken seriously - they are still potentially at risk. Like if you ever come across an RTA - take more notice of the ones that are lying there saying nothing first - the ones that are screaming and shouting are still definitely alive!
Any public, dramatic flounce on here says far more about the user's state of mind than anything else in my opinion.. and is usually a massive indication that they were probably here for completely the wrong reason(s) in the first place cool

Good - you have a lovely arse wink

A flounce is when somebody basically says things along the lines of 'I hate you, I hate this place and it's all poo and you'll never see me again..'
And then is back posting the next day like nothing happened.
Think school child type behaviour when their best friend steals their pencil case and you won't be far away lol

I see, on other forums these people are called twats

That made me grin :thumbup:
Yes - I guess they are here too only people tend to encorage them to behave more like twats here quite often by saying things like:
"Oh, please don't leave, we love you, you are my only reason for existing here, the place won't be the same without you..." etc etc, which in my opinion only fuels their twattishness and was exactly what they wanted to happen when they posted the thread in the fist place cool

That isn't a dig at people that have a genuine reasons to leave - there's a just a right and a very wrong way of doing it, I think.

Ah...the definition of the word " twat " is...........a stupid or obnoxious person.

They usually have a short memory too.

I have pencil cases sorted into best and every day and a jar (shit I have to quit with this jar thing!) of odd ones that fall into neither category. :oops:

What about the 100% wholehearted flounce- done in a way to hopefully promote some introspection from some quarters...proper "pushed the cancel button" flouncing...only to have some swine/swines come in & unflounce you? rolleyes

Being unflounced is quite traumatic. I'm in talks with claims direct as we speak for "post unflouncing stress syndrome" PUSS for short.
lol

29 May 2009

Pauline's pens?
PS: Kents - isn't a twat some kind of fish?

29 May 2009

I wish you guys would stop making me giggle as I'm trying to get out in the sun in Liverpool in my mum and dad's garden!
So we have flounce-twat-PUSS.. possibly some kind of fish... and sexonfire's cute arse - happy days! :lol:
