‘Has anyone else experienced this?’

Yes!!! I also hate people who say, "Only my child could(insert whatever child did here)." Yes you are completely right,only your child,in the entire world,could do that thing you posted on Facebook.Amazing.

Agree, especially when it’s a run of the mill thing, like ‘Only my Millie could knock over her juice during dinner’!

"what is this called?" "is there a name for this?" ... then waits for MN to diagnose her MIL with NPD.

While the answer, the vast majority of the time, is “It’s ‘Person You Don’t Like’ Syndrome” .

Someone ringing me on my mobile phone and asking "Who's that?" when I answer the call.

And your OP did seem to indicate you don't understand the meaning

More your lack of understanding than mine.

Amazed at this poster's naivety.

Of course you weren't looking for a literal response

🤣🤣🤣

Well no, not really because you said:

"No you are the only person in the history of forever to ever have this experience"

Which indicates that you did think that people who say this are asking the question of everyone who has ever lived and not a select audience. So the explanations appear perfectly justified.

What gives me the rage, quite irrationally, is when posters write that they are buying a "doer upper: or saying "my house needs doing up", or we are currently "doing up" our house. There are perfectly adequate words in the English language for this specific thing; renovate, for example. "We are renovating our house", "we're buying a house that needs renovation", etc.

The other one that I find very irritating is when people say "I'm renting my house" when what they mean is "I'm letting my house". They literally mean the opposite so it gets very confusing.

I just remembered another one that gives me the rage: it's when people say I'm "upping" my exercise, or I'm "upping" the price. The word is "increase", why not use it?

Doer upper has been common parlance for years, ditty upping, do you just rage about random words 🤷‍♀️

"cash waiting" is a strange one.

You are asking to buy something. Why would you NOT have the money ready?

Loving all the explanations ladies, I know what it means!!

It’s cringe worthy.

It's quite an odd thing to find cringe worthy.

I saw an advert for a car yesterday, nice condition £7K fairly new etc and the poster put

‘Suitable for a dog car’ Mmmm I need a car for the dog, all that extra tax and insurance.

Adverts for plain white wardrobes ‘Suitable for a boy’

Also dislike ‘needs gone’ ‘get rid’ ‘get gone’

Has anyone done a city break with children?
🥱🥱🙄
See also, starting sentences with so & 'just that really' after the title on here.

It does make me laugh when you see posts like "Has anyone ever been to Ibiza?" Obviously it's just a quick way of attracting relevant people to the thread but a childish part of me is sometimes tempted to reply "no, it's still completely uncharted territory".

Yes, or ‘Has anyone ever taken their toddler on a city break?’ And you’re mildly tempted to reply ‘No, that’s way too crazy an idea. No one’s ever done it, obv.’

I also don't like and I don't know why but when people post on here, "let's call this person A", "we'll call this person B" I understand the meaning behind why they would do it but it's the collective we and let's.

You sound like hardwork is another one on here and then also there is a girl at work-let's not even get into her but everytime she says something for example like "my bf is so selfish" she always over exagerates and over expresses her face and says "d'ya know what I mean??"

When someone explains something piss simple, and they follow it up with "Does that make sense?"

Yes it does, because I'm not 2 years old with the IQ of a Smartie 😡

I write/say this sometimes, not because I think everyone reading/listening is thick, but in case I've worded it clumsily or not explained very well. I'm a tutor, always mindful that not everyone understands things in the same way as the next person.

pictoosh · 01/09/2024 08:57

I'm not fan of policing other people's use of language but admittedly this one often causes me a shudder of sheer dislike.
It's usually served up pickled in sanctimony.

Eta: I'm referring to "but that's just me". Failed to quote.

PuppyMonkey · 01/09/2024 07:56

“What am I missing?”

That’s the one that grates on me at the moment. Said after any scenario, from why someone doesn’t like Oasis to how to use a self service checkout properly.

Gosh yes! All that turning round stuff is ridiculous.

"Sorry not sorry"
And
"No offence but " if you're having to say you're not being offensive then you are being"
And "polite notice" always a rude notice

Why does this sentence give me the rage?

I just want to type - No you are the only person in the history of forever to ever have this experience’

What sentence gives you the rage?

No - it's a way of asking for your advice based on what happened to you a lot of the time. Why would you get triggered by that? It's pretty what Mumsnet is all about.

FanofLeaves · 01/09/2024 07:21

I’m thinking of booking a city break to Madrid, has anyone ever been?

Crazycatlady79 · 31/08/2024 22:07

I experience rage when anyone uses "the rage" within a sentence.

I experience rage when someone expresses their disapproval of something that someone has expressed their disapproval for.

Let's keep this going :)
