I don't want to make this too specific because then it would be a TAAT, but to give a general example: OP starts a thread that says something like 'I went to an expensive seafood restaurant and I was served stale bread, warm wine and I think that one of the oysters was past its best. The staff were unhelpful and I think I should message their head office. How should I go about it'.
INVARIABLY, someone will come along and say 'I hate seafood. YABU to go to a seafood restaurant.' Then someone else will come along and say 'YABU to eat somewhere expensive in a COL crisis. And what about the situation in Gaza/Sudan/Ukraine/Wherever'.
It is so so annoying and people do it all the bloody time on here. AIBU to find this so annoying?

people can post what they want

Yes, of course, but it's still really stupid and annoying. As is your post, if I'm honest.

If all the posts were sensible, well-thought-out and perfectly reasoned mine wouldn't stand out so beautifully. I welcome the dross.

Yes! A single parent earning 40k is sayinh they are struggling and living in london or m25 commuter belt and should be absolutely loaded and is boasting about their super high income.

Just be grateful, move away from everything and everyone you know 🙄

Same as on this morning when their is breaking news and they change the subject everyone is up in arms. What about COL, ukraine, Afghanistan etc but soon forget themselves 🙄
