Don’t take it personally!

The words Urban Dictionary Editors in Emails tell you when your definition doesn’t make it to the publish section, due to lack of information on the word. They say this but most still take it personally, Even though it is our fault it wasn’t published, this is why most definitions about sex may not get in, it’s also their way of saying sorry

Me: puts definition of Cornhub

2 mins later

Email: your definition of Cornhub was not published
Don’t take it personally!

taking it personally

one who sees or hears something, be it a comment or picture (usually online, because this person has no REAL life) and interprets the meaning to be directed at them; and must retaliate in the most unthinkable ways and defend themselves to the utmost degree (lies and exaggerations included) all the while going to sleep alone every night.

Damn, Lise seems to be TAKING IT PERSONALLY ~ must be because she is a goat-necked snaggle toothed troll... And we said so...

The email check of shame. When you realize that all hopes and dreams of publishing that one definition on Urban Dictionary that made you die of laughter to yourself while stuck in quarantine are gone, gone, gone.

Phone: *makes email notification sound*
Me: *drops everything and opens email faster than the speed of light*
Email: A few volunteer editors read your definition and decided to not publish it. Don't take it personally!
Me: Well that's just great.

No roles I didn't personally assign allowed

No. He's just inventing a role for himself that he doesn't actually have and his plan hinges on his ability to trick people into believing that he is something he know that he's not.

Hym Iam "No roles I didn't personally assign allowed. They aren't anything to in relationship to me. They're not my partner, boss, friend, family, associate, collaborator, bro or anything else to me and have no say in anything I do or receive. And they are nothing to you either."
