Some posters are on here every other day with some altercation or other. Seems they can't step outside their front door without a confrontation. AIBU in thinking I must be SOOOOOOOOOO boring because I seem able to navigate my way through life without locking horns with every other adult I meet.
Or am I just a bit of a hippy?
Peace maaaannn Grin

Nah, you just don't have an active enough imagination.

I reckon most of the posts on MN are made up.

I think some posters just like a bit of drama

Mountains out of molehills springs to mind

I just wander through life oblivious to all around me mostly

Me too. No ones ever tutted at me or my 5 dc's. I really should be a prime target. I am dying for someone to say 'why do you have so many dc'. Even in the play park we never get to have confrontations with anyone. Its just not fair. Dh and mil aren't much help either. Bloody nice people. He obviously gets it from her. You'd think at least once they could pick a fight.

I am clearly living my life with my head in the clouds. I just think beyond the posters that are trolling making it up some people genuinely go about their lives itching for confrontation.

So glad I found this. i have been feeling as though I am somehow failing to fulfil my civic duty because I have never had any sort of confrontation with a random stranger.

I get on with all my family and DH's. Sad Even the ones who I see rarely/have little in common with. There have been times when I have disagreed with their opinions or even their way of doing things, but I have never had a screaming row in the street.

I know I am lacking in some fundamental aspect. But what? And how do I change? It is clearly unhealthy for my DCs to be parented by someone whose normal interaction with strangers consists of, "Morning. Lovely day."

I have a dull life, embellishment is your friend

I took the baby with me to buy the paper this morning, this old man with a dog nodded at me and smiled at the baby as we passed.

The dirty fucking pedo came onto my child and his rabid dog wasn't on a lead!. Am rounding up a mob as we speak

It is kind of like an extreme case of 'I should have said...'

The crackhead who is a permanent fixture at the station round the corner shouts abuse at everyone (including me) who passes him.

Funnily, enough, I'm pretty sure he is the one being unreasonable, so haven't felt the need to start a thread about it.

I have a dull life but mostly enjoy it.

For the past couple of days I have dragged my children enjoyed blackberry picking. It was very quiet in the woods and we all have stained nails but lots of blackberries. We made a crumble last night and we all liked it very much.

Today we are going over to Brighton to meet friends at a park for a picnic. Then we will catch the train home. Lovely.
