I am so flustered by all the jerks here

i am so flustered, by how many jerks sit on here and wait for the chance to attempt to belittle, humiliate, and defile people. Do you have nothing better to do with your time. If someone has a question, how about shutting your mouth unless you have something condusive to add.

That's a flounce I think!

p.s. Defile - "to violate the chastity of". I think a few peeps do indeed fit into that category.

Now now, JE, don't get prematurely excited.

That definitely needs to be in the pleeze help me thread...oh are you being serious

So I guess the answer is yes. Thank you for answering for me. YOu have nothing better to do with your time. Now I understand.

@SereneJean1

OK, I apologise for busting your chops but actually you have to understand how TT works.

A normal thread with something like "I have a package stuck at customs" is simply gonna get ignored. Frankly most people are, with all due respect, not very interested - seen it all before. Naughty sarcastic little buggers like me, (and others) actually keep the thread bouncing and you will notice that something like 1 in 3 of the postings actually has the information you require. More people that read the thread, better your chance of some sympathy and a proper response - which is what you got in the end.

So, just go with the ribbing, and pick out the information you require.

Well technically I am sure there are many people who would like to defile, or violate the chastity of others on here. So in theory it applies, just not in ocntext. LOL.

I gotta be honest, I don't think you do really. You said in your PM to me that you reported my posts on your thread as being "Personal Attacks". I strongly suspect that your understanding in general may be somewhat off the mark.

PMT

You just have to take the good with the bad as JE said, have a thick skin and you will do fine.

Keydeck - are you one of these chastity violaters that we are now hunting down?

Hang on, I need to find the posse picture.

Yup, apparently I defiled her from here to Thüringen. The power is getting stronger. I clearly can't control this thing. Should I be concerned?

It might also help if you understood that when you post a query about customs, considering that no one on TT is likely to be an employee of the Zollamt who could give you a 100% definitive answer, you should expect the reasonable response of 'call or go speak to customs directly'. Maybe it's not an ideal answer, but I certainly don't understand how making that suggestion is 'defiling' you.

File under nutter

mind my ignorance but what the hell is pmt? And for clarification. I did not start this thread the moderators did. All I did was write in the vent thread.

It's defile, not file - can't you read?

Oooh, I want to be defiled too.

Premenstrual tension

Those pesky mods

PMT is what the island-folk call PMS.

I had no problme with people who expressed that. I had problmes with people who made stupid references to previous posts and made personal attacks. I never once said anything to anyone else regardless how useless or helpfull the information was.

Are you calling me a monkey?

Doesn't the time between 11:59 and 15:36 really fly when you're in a small town waiting for a parcel full of contraband.

I have to agree with serenajean1, and in fact posted on the vent myself last night relating to this exact topic! I can understand having a laugh and a joke and bouncing the threads with fun comments, but some posts come across as being just plain rude. This is the problem with text - you can't put across a tone in words alone...

I gotta put my hand up and claim responsiblity for the reference to a previous post. Didn't think the issue of the Wonder Woman costume would get your panties in a wad. Now, about those personal attacks...what you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Maybe your problem is you presented easily solvable problems as intractable, and then mocked those who, admittedly with some tongue in cheek, pointed that out.

You post was basically:
"I have a question about importing a shipment through customs"
"Just go down to customs, they'll help you out"
"I can't, my shoes aren't tied"

Ahhhh I get it. Cute in theory, butt hormonal and pregnant would be more fitting.

All I can say is AMEN!!!!

Indeed you did.


A new person comes along requesting help summarising other topics...why don't they do it themselves? Make a bit of effort to use the information which others have graciously provided in the past. If I have answered someones questions previously it is pretty fucking insulting to come along and just expect me to do it again. Why should I bother offering up the benefit of my infinite wisdom if I am only going to have to do the same over and over because some are too stupid or lazy to do a little leg-work of their own.

i'm not a doctor and i'm probably wrong, but isn't it not a good idea to smoke while pregnant? I'm aware smoking isn't crack or alcohol or anything, but... (then again i'm probably completely wrong since i'm neither a doctor, smoker, nor pregnant).

Now what exactly is "butt hormonal", I wonder?

Despite his sickening male nipple fetish, I would have to agree with Kissdick Keydeck with this one.

AGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Burn the witch. Smoking and pregnant!!!



Edit: Sorry couldnt be arsed to find a "burning witch" photo, so we got a ducking pool instead.

Maybe the Customs know you're pregnant ( small town) and that's the reason they're holding on to the fags.

First off you forget that I live with my finace and perhaps he smokes. Perhaps the gifts from america was for us both, with gifts for both of us. Now thatw ould be an interesting theory to compreheand. As for as the butt hormonal that was just a very hilarious and nicley placed fruedian slip.

I think I just defiled my keyboard.

A hormone injection in the gluteus maximus muscle, obviously.

I would agree with you except customs is in the next big city and I doubt rumors get that far via horse and carrige.

Fair enough Keydeck, but sometimes the 50+ posts don't necessarily answer fully (I had this situation when asking about my UK driver's license). If you don't want to reply, don't reply... There may be someone else out there who is willing to make the contact and provide the info, and maybe add info to the issue, which I did yesterday with the post that I felt some people were quite rude in.

I thought this was supposed to be a friendly, helpful site for people moving to a foreign country - somewhere to provide/seek support and make friends. Sometimes I wonder whether this is always the case.

The next big city, eh? So possibly a place with more than 2000 people, one of whom is probably able to string together a word or two of English combined with enough German to discuss your care package with the Zoll.

Do you imbibe as well? Maybe just a little too much during the day. Your posts are beginning to display serious grammar, spelling and structure problems.
Try keeping it down to one glass a day.

Of course it isn't always the case! Are people always helpful, supportive and friendly in real life? No! TT is (mostly) a reflection of the real world; despite being euphemistically named 'Toytown', it's just a little slice of reality with all its nice and nasty aspects.

Having said that, TT can be fantastically helpful if you're big enough to get over a few silly jibes. There's a lot of knowledge here, it just sometimes comes in bitter pill form. Learn to swallow and smile.

Erm, shouldn't you be going to get your package from customs, they might be smoking all your fags.

Not necessarily. It's a website for "Germany's English-speaking crowd". Many of us have been here a long, long time. Helping newcomers is just a by-product of the site.

And winding 'em just a little treat for the bad boys.

Allegedly being British, kellyl has ruined my almost-perfect theory that it's only female Americans who get upset because a naughty boy in the interweb hasn't taken her helpless and self-pitying post seriously.

Anyway, 90% of all questions posted on Toytown should be rejected for one of the following three reasons:

1. The information has already been posted. Stop being so self-centred as to expect people to spend time rewriting their responses just for you.
2. No-one is going to know the answer. Contact the relevant department and get an accurate answer.
3. You can find the information on Google within about 15-20 seconds.

Toytown has an enormous wealth of information in its archives, and serious questions are treated as such. But if someone asks, for example, if anyone can recommend a health-insurance provider, then they deserve all the ridicule they get. Is it possible for this forum to have existed for over six years without that question having already been asked a million times before?

And while I'm on a roll, why do these people expect others to help them when they themselves contribute nothing to the forum or the website? Toytown is a chat forum for expats to bitch and moan. Helping newcomers is NOT something that people are obliged to spend their time on.

Please refer me to the post where a newcomer was helped. I think I the mods must have missed it.

It was removed, it violated the principle of TT

I heard someone wasn't nice to someone else on the internet, but I don't believe it.

My dear this must be the best piece of friday advice ever!

I was going to add a rude bit about new comers but ...
