I made a flippant post about how not having egg cups made Americans angry and my post made some Americans angry.

  1. It was flippant.
  2. Chill
  3. Sense of humour anyone?
  4. Irony
  5. I hate lists

I can't be angry, because I have no idea what egg cups are. 😁 But I do make a mean scramble — light, buttery, and slightly custard-y. (If egg cups have nothing to do with actual eggs, then boy do I have egg on my face!)

What? We don't have egg cups!

Good Lord! That settles it. I am moving to Britton. I am sick and tired of egg guts getting all over my plate.

This is clearly the reason Christians control the Republican Party.

I used to want to visit Australia, it seemed inviting. Then I saw a video of one of your spiders eating a snake. You also have crocodiles the size of Chevy's that eat people, jellyfish that can kill a human in minutes, snakes with enough poison to kill hundreds and now a dead giant reef. No thanks, I'll take my chances here in the good ol' USA with toothless hillbillies waving assault rifles, tornadoes, white nationalist terrorists, floods, fires and the inevitable thermo-nuclear conflagration caused by the idiot in the White House.

We also have a plant that can cause you so much pain you will want to die. Painkillers do not numb the pain. Pretty shells on the beach that can kill you, fish that look like stones that cause unbearable agony, and a really pretty octopus that can be found in rockpools that kills.

@Budgie well, there's always Canada.

Seriously? Someone wasted anger on missing egg cups? Sheesh! A missing tea cozy, perhaps but...egg cups? Nahhhhh.

@Grahame Indeed! One learns to cherish one's tantrums and not waste them on frippancies such as missing egg cups.

@NoPlanetB It would be more fun to waste them on chimpanzees...wouldn't it?

@LucyLoohoo not me!

they actually didn't. i was there. no one was angry and the only person butthurt is apparently the original poster.

g

@genessa I was angry. But I didn't know why. I get angry alot.............I'm hungry..........

Are you sure that you aren't just getting angry at their flippant answers?

MsAl Level 8 Nov 29, 2019

Is that a flippant question?

I was surprised at the response but there may be a business opportunity there in selling eggcups to the USA with instructions on use of course.

So, I can stop throwing my boiled eggs against the wall to open them?

Shouldn't got rid of us British. Could have had a Nation Health Service free at the point of need and somewhere to put boiled eggs into.

We use our mouths......you put your boiled eggs into the National Health Service?

Hopefully , lesson learned . Pointless insults , aren't funny to the ones you chose to be your victims .

@Grahame that did not come across in your generalization!

@NoPlanetB anne has a good grip. it looks as if her good grip encompasses some very sensitive balls sometimes. i won't name names!

g

@Grahame well, not now we weren't. we were talking about sense of humor. i do not see you laughing at yourself. i see you getting mad at people who joke back at you. you are willing to judge other people's sense of humor based on your own misperception of their joking being a sign of anger, and yet you also feel free to say what YOU don't find funny. i think you need to step back and take a longer view. you do not have a BETTER sense of humor. you just think certain things are funny and if they hit home, they're not that funny. you know when YOU mean to be funny, and you think people are mad if they joke back with you. ha. that is NOT what i would call a "better" sense of humor at all.

g

@Grahame why the hell would i WANT to interact with you? you're the confrontational one, calling everyone angry. you're the angry one. you're not laughing at yourself, i, on the other hand, will have to run to the small room soon, because if i laugh too hard, i pee.

g

@Grahame no, sharing is funny. i care so little, if you want to know what i say now, ask someone. i have no interest in continuing this. i actually come here for the most part to interact with people whose posts interest me. yours do not. bye.

g

@genessa OK, EVERYBODY STOP IT! I'M GETTING ANGRY! Well, not really angry,,,,,,,I'm just a little angry,,,,,,,,actually, I don't even remember why I'm angry.........???

@genessa, @Grahame

@NoPlanetB I don't like to argue. No I don't. Don't say that. How dare you?

2

I got a chuckle out of it, but - we're pretty touchy these days, gotta handle us with kid gloves!

Don't touch me! Not even with "kid gloves".........sick..........

2

actually i participated in that and saw no anger in the respondents. know what makes me angry? people telling me (or others) to chill when we're already chilled. you can't see through the screen to whether or not we're laughing or picking our noses or what. don't get angry about this but we spell it humor here, while we laugh into our egg cups. if you indulge in flippancy, which can be fun, you must also expect others to be flippant in return; reading that as anger is a mistake.

g

@Grahame you don't even see that you just did that yourself. seriously, i don't understand why we're even having this conversation at all. you appear to be much too tender for such an exchange.

g

@Grahame oh chill, grahame. you're not half as clever as you think you are. you're just making a fool of yourself.

g

@genessa "too tender".......???? HOLY SHIT, A CANNIBAL!

You called all Americans "angry." That was mean and incorrect. Stop insulting people.

Insulting members is against Community Guidelines.

You're no fun..........are you wearing the same dress as two days ago?

Yeah. Only forty percent of us are angry! Not all of us. That really makes me angry.

2

You never know what to expect with these nut jobs .

2

Aaaannnd, you expected....?

@Grahame I have done stand up comedy, and trust me, insulting your audience must be done C.A.R.E.F.U.L.L.Y!

2

A matter of indifference to me, both because I absolutely do not care about this issue, and I am much more interested in world-relevant issues, from the Syrian tragedy to other similar horrors.

Then you’ve strayed into the wrong category...this is the Silly, Random & Fun one!

@Marionville True, but the first part still holds.

2

Didn't make me angry.

Its makes me angry that you're not angry........I think?

@PondartIncbendog Well, you just go ahead and be angry that I wasn't angry.
I won't be angry over that either.

😉

what the actual ****?

What the hell are egg cups?

Slang for really tiny bra.

Not American but I am here to say: I hate soft boiled eggs anyways... but it turns out my mother did own egg cups but she never used them for that she used them for dressing or as a dip for other foods.... go figure!

Not American? The Egg Cup War is beginning between the US and the UK and you hate boiled eggs? Blasphemer!

Dude, America is the land of useless gadgets for everything, not only are there egg cups available anywhere but a myriad of egg cooking products that render these cups useless if you want to buy that useless crap. You know what I use as cup for daily use, the shell, just open the top and use a small spoon and voila, soft boiled eggs come out deliciously luscious, don't need a cup for hard boiled eggs either. Meaning Aussies like you must be really ignorant to assume there aren't egg cups in America.

I wasn't angry relax

Although I know what an egg cup is, I would not have any use for them whatsoever. They are an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem. So not having egg cups does not bother me at all.

Isn't Angry the American default setting?
