Your favourite unreasonable AIBU?

There ought to be a sort of ‘hall of fame’ section where a post can get upvoted by users for its hilarity factor and these OPs can have official icon status. And these memorable threads safely filed for easy access when anyone needs a quick pick me up! 😅

Not really an unreasonable AIBU, but there was one a few years ago about a dog running onto someone’s picnic blanket and causing mayhem. There may have been wee or poo involved or I might be making that up, but there was definitely scoffing of food. There are similar threads on Mumsnet from time to time (there was one a week or two ago) but the OP’s description of what happened had the tears rolling down my face. I wish I knew where to start looking for it.

No link but one OP was devastated as her mil had taken her four month baby into the garden and given her her ‘first time standing on grass’ and she had missed it.

The irony is that the poster was lovely and normal and sensible and considerate usually! But just couldn't see the issue.

Oh my! It’s so well written that it somehow elevates the comedic aspect more so. I just can’t believe it’s real though! OPs descriptions of her husband’s reaction are like something out of a comedy show. I can imagine them being a comedy couple on something like Catherine Tate show!

Twattiest colleague ever - this is possibly my favourite thread of all time.

I’ve never seen the dinosaur one, just read it out to my husband and we are dying.

I remember that one - OP last posted on page 11 and it somehow got to 40 pages 😂

Did she ever say why it was imperative for the room to stay empty??

Just today, there was a post for a recipe for 1 (ONE) person that involved a whole BNS, 500ml of cream, something like 1.5 tbs of chilli powder, etc.

OP insisted that it was real & not a troll post.

The one a few months back where an ex teacher who came across an ex pupil in the care home her husband was in who was rude to her. It transpired the op had been really abusive as a teacher but wanted to know if she should report the carer for being rude but got 99% piled on for being abusive when she was a teacher. I was the first one to reply

That one was nuts.
There HAD to be a room left empty for some reason but OP wouldn't say why

I always remember the Snapped & Farted one. I thought maybe it was a typo but no, apparently the OP did actually snap and fart 🤣

I was also very invested in the one where the Op's prize that she won went missing. It was a guess the sweets in the jar I think. And from around 6 years ago where the OP's acquaintance decided to volunteer the OP to donate a beauty treatment to the school's raffle but forgot to tell her

No particular threads that stand out (aside from those mentioned).

But one trend which I find particularly unreasonable is parents who start threads saying they are worried about their DS/DD because they aren't in a settled steady relationship at the age of about 19/20. It's such a stupid and controlling outlook on life.

Anyone who would wish to hurry their son or daughter into marriage or cohabitation when they are blatantly not ready and when they are about to enter the most exciting period of their life needs their head examined.

Supersoaker! I was brand new to the site - I think it must be about 16 years old, because my youngest was tiny. Someone has linked to it above. Because it was one of the first threads I ever got absorbed in, and was so completely ridiculous, it stuck in my head in all its glorious detail. I think 100% of the responses told the woman YABU, yet she refused to listen and sent the supersoakers anyway!!!

Will try to find the link, but a very unreasonable person talking about moving to Canada back in the day where SGM uttered the immortal line "I AM CANADIAN" It was hilarious. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1015826-to-think-its-irresponsible-for-my-OH-to-leave-our

That was absolute comedy gold.

It’s got to be steak-cut chips and perfect pairings in M&S. - I think there was also something about a buffalo or maybe a bison from the same poster.

That's the one i was thinking of as well! 🤣 Absolutely adamant that there was no reasonable excuse for her not to be there, and not being invited was irrelevant.

That's the one. Is it real? Because😂

Showing how old I am but the dog walker that nearly made the news being chased by cows.
The MN decision is that we need to pack hills into our rucksacks on dog walks 🤣🤣

OMG! That dinosaur one is brilliant! 😂

Some of these are brilliant - I haven’t read some of them before as only joined in 2013 when I was pregnant with dc2.

I can never remember the threads I find unreasonable unfortunately!

This one? I just couldn’t get my head around it!

It was very rough on Anne, going through puberty, to have to share with a middle-aged man (and probably embarrassing for Fritz too). Since Mr and Mrs Frank already had their privacy compromised by sharing with Margot, I agree that arrangement would have made sense
