Re: Forum manners
Depends on the circumstances, whats going on - this particular issue called for a bit of banter - getting a bit bogged down with 'detail' ......Certainly didn't warrant a thread about it - it was a 'short' bit of light relief, in the hope it wouldn't get too serious on the detail front ......
I'll try to behave in future

Re: Forum manners
I think some people just have those sort of faces their default face is pretty miserable looking but they may actually be feeling fine. My neighbour has one of those faces when she is out and about people are always saying cheer up it may never happen and she is puzzled by that but gosh she does look miserable so I can see why it happens.19-01-2014, 11:58 AM

Re: Forum manners
I agree it's not something I would ever say to someone mainly because it may have already happened which has caused the unhappiness.I wonder if that's part if the problem with forum manners we just don't know what goes on in other people's lives, a lot of us here are on pain medication and that IME can make people grumpy, I know when I have been awake all night with pain I am not the happiest bunny next day.

[QUOTE=Patsy;404672]Really cant stand that saying - its so insensitive to say that to someoneRefer - 'cheer up - may never happen'[/QUOTE]
If ever I have said that to someone its because I am concerned about them and only trying to instigate a little smile. Very often someone was just pre-occupied and so will smile again, or sometimes it has helped them to start talking about what's worrying them, depends who it is and their needs at that time. Either way its only because I care and it can be better than just ignoring someone who is obviously upset.
If it don't work for some, they will deal with it differently.
