Your favourite unreasonable AIBU?

Also she is just such a massive Eeyore, had a miserable answer for everything and did not let up. Not the only OP like this by any means. I always wonder if they carry out real life conversations like this? Not that's it wrong to want to moan to a listening ear but the absolute refusal to take comfort in having been heard and consoled?

She might not have been blaming them in so many words, but she clearly resented them and also took no ownership of her own folly in having had so many children with a deadbeat.

Security did come over and escourt me out but they did seem sympathetic and concerned. I told them I was ok. I frightened a little old lady who jumped out of her skin when I wailed and I wanted to go back and apologise and see if she was ok (as tourists were helping her too) but they wouldn't let me go back. Obviously I ruined it for myself as well as everyone else and I'm certainly not proud of that.

this one!!!

Oh yessss that one! Did the O ever come back?

The extra unreasonableness was that the OP thought it was OK to charge the other couple ( with no children iirc) for this extra room. Basically requiring her friends to pay for her DC’s room.

This was definitely one of my all time favourites! I was absolutely gutted that the OP never came back. I wanted a convention of mumsnetters to track down the girlfriend (& her dog!) And buy them both a drink!🤣
The audacity! And obviously not wanting her brother around but thinking some other woman should be oh so grateful to be housing him!

Can't find it but the woman who was going to a nice restaurant. She googled it and under 5s were not permitted in the main dining room but were welcome in the bar area.

Naturally, she turned up with her baby as apparently under 5 does not mean no babies. I think she wanted to leave a bad review as they wouldn't let them in the dining room but did find a table for them in the bar area.

She was adamant that she was right and all the posters telling her she was unreasonable were in the wrong.

There was another one like this where a boyfriend hadn’t paid an extra £1 to have the thicker ribbon option for his girlfriend’s valentine bouquet so he clearly didn’t love her.

This one's trending right now:

I’ll have to try and find it

There is a completely bonkers one today in AIBU.

It's called 'Height'

I am 🫨 at how the OP is beside herself at the height she was measured in the doctors and wants it corrected or she will be devastated to be 5ft4 not 5ft6 and she's not going to take the measurement because she wants to be tall and she only admires tall women.

I'm beginning to think it must be made up

I can’t find the one I loved - but it was a woman complaining about her sister’s “destination wedding” and how unreasonable she was not to just get married at home. The usual wedding haters on MN all piled in to agree the sister was wrong, then it turned out the sister and her husband to be actually lived in this other country, this wedding was happening in the town they lived in, I think possibly walking distance from their home.

The poster wouldn’t have it her sister wasn’t having a destination wedding, and thought it was insane to suggest the location that counted as “home” for her sister who had emigrated wouldn’t be the same as the town they both grew up in. Didn’t help that other posters who had only read the OP and not updated kept adding to the “I hate destination weddings” which the OP took as proof she was right, but wouldn’t accept her sister wasn’t having a destination wedding.

it was very interesting how many people did agree with the OP though and didn’t see the sister as having emigrated but just “working overseas” with the assumption that “home” would always be the town you grew up in.

Also special mention to the posters who:

• wanted to entertain guests on her driveway because she felt it was rude of anyone to expect to be admitted to her house

• felt it was rude of her neighbour to expect the offer of giving her SHOPPING a ride home in the car to extend to the physical personage of the neighbour too

• felt it was highly unreasonable of a neighbour who had taken in a package for the OP not to be the one to go over and drop it off. Point blank refused to accept it was the parcel owner's responsibility to go and collect

As far as I remember, these were all separate people.

Thanks for sharing - that's hilarious! I'd read about it but never seen it for myself until now, haha!

No, it wasn't.

This Mum was sobbing in the back of the car after getting home that no one in her big family party had noticed she hadn't got out the minivan.
It was bonkers, and when asked 'why didn't you get out and go in the house' she wouldn't answer! It was really funny

I've done that jigsaw!

I think the OP is definitely playing everyone.
Asking her SIL to leave the house, burning the dinosaurs and the whole family disowning SIL.
Think she just found the FB page and decided to troll Mumsnet.

Nothing, NOTHING in life will ever top the husband and the university assignment one. I read that sitting on a train and I'm sure the other passengers must have thought something terrible had happened, from my helpless tears (of laughter).

But the thread appears to have been removed so it lives now, much like Jack from Titanic, only in my memory. 🎻 🚢

This one?

I can’t find it but it was AGES ago and something about a date but the woman wasn’t there and the man was all set to meet - maybe at the zoo?

WTAF! I don't think that I've ever said this in my entire life, but now feels like the right moment....'Now I've seen everything!'. I thought it was a piss take until I looked at the FB page. My, oh my. 100% certified bonkers.

Are there threads being confused? She does not appear to be blaming the kids. Just sad about being a single mom.

😂😂😂

Let me find the links. Two threads by the same user who is annoyed that her DIL won’t make as much of a fuss for her as the DIL does for her own mother.

One was called “should the mothers be treated the same” and she was annoyed her DIL and DIL’s siblings arranged a nice mother’s day lunch for their mother but did nothing for OP.

OP did not criticise her own son however. Only
her DIL….
