AIBU to think that comprehension just isn't a strong point with some people.

I've noticed this quite a lot over the time I have on MN.

Referring to a recent thread re early retirement. The poster quite clearly stated that DH wanted to retire in 14 months (when mortgage paid) and wanted her to retire at the same time. She is 10 years his junior and works part time.

OK, first answer was "So he wants you both to retire in early forties"

Second response "Can you change to part time work"

I can understand this if we were 10 pages into the thread because we don't all have time to read all responses, but come on, the first two responses?

Luis, it's about time someone stuck up for the op with all you lot bullying her and telling her what to do!

Op you should ignore everyone else and do what I tell you to do!

If they retire and move to a retirement home make sure there is some pampas grass outside

It's an invitation not a summons!

Look, I'm 5ft2, weigh 15st and I am a healthy size 8. What's your problem?

I just don't believe you're a 38B, OP. Is that a Marks & Spencer measurement.

There was a thread on here recently about early retirement. The poster quite clearly stated that DH wanted to retire in 14 months (when mortgage paid) and wanted her to retire at the same time. She is 10 years his junior and works part time.
The first two answers were just ridiculous. I mean, read the original post ffs.

Cranial osteopathy? Worked wonders with DS.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 30/09/2014 10:03

AnyFucker, that's just typical of you. Always ready to stick the boot in. Op clearly wants to stay with her dh and I'm very brave for standing up to your constant bullying on here Angry

Don't take more than two fucking pears. Read the fucking sign. I SAID NO.

Elemental · 30/09/2014 09:55

Well, when I did the Mumsnet haircut I looked like Rod Stewart!

Elemental · 30/09/2014 09:49

My DH is perfect, so bad luck OP

DadDadDad · 30/09/2014 09:49

Elemental - for a moment, I thought you said "park pom bears" - that's an explosive combination on MN.

Coughle · 30/09/2014 09:48

TAAT. Very poor form.

WowserBowser · 30/09/2014 09:47

You could juggle them?

Elemental · 30/09/2014 09:46

Can't you just quickly poach some pears?

Luis - the problem is no-one knows if you are really nominating this for classics or just throwing in another commonly-seen MN line... Confused

Gullygirl · 30/09/2014 09:36

Its just a snapshot.You really shouldn't judge on one incident.

ithoughtofitfirst · 30/09/2014 09:33

Childish.

And ageist.

Yeah.

Jill2015 · 30/09/2014 09:19

THIS IS A ZOMBIE THREAD...
(The OP had come back, and updated, the cheek of her!)

LuisSuarezTeeth · 30/09/2014 09:18

I am nominating this for classics, or possibly an "MN - Uncovered" section Grin
