Aibu to ask what your favourite kind of posts are on aibu?

Hmm I’d say live updates.
I’m pretty sure Christmas 2006 didn’t happen properly in a lot of households due to absolute scenes on mumsnet.

Ones where the OP comes along to ask if she is unreasonable for not answering the door as someone is knocking. And has jumped behind the sofa shaking and trembling with fear. And then sometimes even asks this forum who it could be at the door.

there Are Christmas tree fringe posts 👀 this is news to me

Parking ones, esp with diagram
Planning permission ones
Inheritance ones
Christtmas fridge/tree ones
Rings ones (I just love looking at other people’s jewellery)
CF ones

I lurk a lot on MN because I don’t live in the UK anymore but can still vote. MN tells me so much that the papers/ news can’t. Stuff about PIP and schools and CoL I only ever hear about properly on here.

Competitive under eating posts are my absolute favourite but I also enjoy the all germs are bad, I throw out anything within 3 weeks of a best before date posts. I rarely read posts that are really long, or if they mention ADHD or the word Neurodiverse. Not interested.

The threads where the OP is soon revealed to be the unreasonable one, yet they steadfastly refuse to see why and usually flounce off.

I like it when someone posts about their DH potentially going away on a stag do shortly after their second or third baby is due, they’re a little worried, will they be able to manage, etc. It brings out the real lunatics:

”I had an EMCS with triplets in the back of a broken-down Robin Reliant on the M25 during Storm Arwen and I still did the school run for my stepchildren the next day because my DH was disappeared by a brutalist regime, why can’t you?”

”Pregnancy isn’t an illness, newborns are easy, they simply sleep all the time, always, never ever heard of a difficult pregnancy or a colicky baby in my life, you liar.”

“He’s allowed to have FUN you know, it’s YOU who’s having the baby, why are you POLICING his DOWNTIME.”

”But you knew when you got pregnant that you already had a child? Why didn’t you think of his potential holidays before?”

”Gently, get the fuck over it.”

I also like when one of the RF posters venture onto the AIBU board and try to start a post that is horrible about Meghan. They get their arse handed to them because other than the obsessed people on the RF board who hate Meghan, most other people either don’t care or don’t have the Meghan hating obsession that they do. No doubt they convince themselves that we’re all wrong and then go back to the RF board to spread more hatred there about her.

I might be alone here, but I love the utterly batshit ones.

They come in two types,

1. Where the op is clearly a completely toxic/snobby/deluded/unhinged (delete as appropriate) individual, who won’t listen to the 99% that tell her she’s absolutely unreasonable.
2. The clearly completely made up, nonsensical, goady posts

🤣🤣

The CF ones.

Threads without a long context-changing drip feed.
There's currently one in 30 Days (sorry, not in AIBU - but could have been) with a massive double-dip drip that completely changes the entire circumstance.

You have just reminded me of something mentioning the baby face thread.

What happened to the OP who was pregnant and obsessed with her appearance and posted pictures of herself asking if she needed to lose weight and how old she looked?
Every post was about fake tan, hair or make up and worrying if she’d have time for it after having her baby.
Even after she had the baby she never mentioned him and just constantly worried about her hair or mentioned her YouTube channel.

Lots of posters constantly advised her to seek help and support but she ignored it.

She hadn’t posted for a long time and I have thought about her a few times and hope she got the help she needed. Either that or just focused on her baby and now isn’t as worried about how she looks and is just happy being a new mum.

She made a lot of posts in a short time and just disappeared, she did change names a lot so maybe I’ve missed some. I hope that’s because she’s made peace with herself.

Like the ones where the person in the wrong gets their just desserts . Can be about anything but as long as the underdog wins l love it 😊

I like bad parenting ones where for example someone has let one child run round a restaurant with the other sitting watching someone on an iPad full blast without headphones.
Someone has politely asked if the children could sit at the table and lower the iPad volume and the OP asks if they were unreasonable to scream at them to fuck off and that their kids were just being kids.

It’s usually 95% all agreeing the OP was BU but the other 5% saying they let also their kids run round and that English people are completely intolerant to kids. This usually leads to a debate where European children are either portrayed to be little angels who sit and eat quietly (usually French children) or have more freedom and can stay up later and run around being kids (usually Italian.)

Either that or OP backtracks when the majority say YABU and claim the iPad was only on very low volume and the other child just ran a couple of laps round their table and all the tables were miles and miles apart.

The two threads I can think of was the one where someone let their kids run round a hotel lobby, they were told they were BVU but one poster mentioned she just let her kids tear up and down hotel corridors “as long as it was after 9am” as though that was completely ok.

Another where the OP said her kids were stood on chairs in a restaurant shouting and waving to kids at another table and her partner wasn’t happy. As soon as people told her she was in the wrong she tried to change it completely saying her child had just given a quick wave and called a quick hello and the whole restaurant thought it was adorable.

Nothing divides people as much as parenting differences!

😂 They are very funny and predictable.

The ones where the OP comes back plenty of times! I hate one off questions with replies and no responses.

@pelargoniums oh yes! Anyone over 50 who does anything remotely odd gets a dementia diagnosis!

Parking ones for me! I have actually one to share but I know it will garner interest and I hate posters that don't reply!

Woo threads are quite good but I was gutted to learn the Forest one was fake!

Maybe it’s dementia
