I know, without having to open them, that I will be bored or irritated by threads about:

  • Parking (why do people find this interesting?)
  • Anything involving a diagram
  • Anything describing someone in the thread title as a narcissist
  • Anything about Brexit
  • Any thread in which someone describes themselves as “fuming” (or fumming)
  • Weddings or hen nights. Discussion about the etiquette of having children at weddings makes me want to put myself in front of a firing squad
  • Most of the trans related threads (though I think there are some important discussions)

I normally open them anyway 🤣. Anyone else?

Anything trans or gender related, especially if it involves public toilets

Divorces - I find them boring and also so sad to read about

Divorce can be a happy thing. It was for me. I agree that threads can be quite painful.

Any thread that starts with "was this racist?"

Trans threads because I’m in the minority in that I support trans rights so the threads really trigger me!

Anything to do with driving particularly on the motorway

Anything legal

Both topics attract an inordinate amount of bullshit.

God yes.
