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?

Does anyone know where I can buy a nice red rug? My last one got a river of sweetcorn on it :(

I have a large one across my upper back. It's a winged serpent with blood dripping from its fangs. I had it designed especially to go with my wedding dress. It symbolises sexual submission to my DH and it's lush.

But OP, can you still fart?

QueenTilly · 30/09/2014 00:15

I think you should wear this La Speziale dress to the wedding.

My gas has just gone and the shop closed an hour ago My 2 year old pfb is asleep and I can't drive, DH is working in outer Mongolia. Help!

  1. Can you put DC in the car and drive to the shop?
  2. Can you call DH and ask him to get some on the way home?
  3. Do you have a teenager you can send?
  4. Is your dh financially abusing you?

My neighbour has accidentally taken my bin instead of their own. I can't go round and ask for it back because they have ears and a gerbil and well, we all know what that sort are like. My friend says I should phone 101, but I think that's inappropriate and 999 would be better. AIBU?

I'm sorry but I really can't believe he said that to a child, everyone loves penguins.

Delphiniumsblue · 29/09/2014 22:48

Did you mean to be so rude?

Tunna · 29/09/2014 22:44

I think it's disgusting people are looking for comprehension. Whatever happened to the days people accepted that accidents happen and just move on?

happygirl87 · 29/09/2014 22:39

Sending someone an evening only invitation and/or a gift list is a more heinous crime than murder, and you are clearly a depraved horrible person.

My husband has just given me a full body massage while running a bubble bath. In a moment he will bring me up a glass of champagne. He is doing all the night wakings every night, and whispers in my ears while I sleep that I am a golden Goddess, lest a nightmare disturb my slumber.

Because that's what a good man does OP. Not like your pigshit dickhead.

DadDadDad · 29/09/2014 22:33

You might get more responses to this thread if you post on AIBU.

GahLinDah · 29/09/2014 22:29

Oh yes, I am the best as if I even click on a Daily Fail link I am taken to the Coffee and Puppies blog.
Whereupon instead of the latest Samantha Brick article. I am greeted with images of the aforementioned, (I'll stoutly repeatedly refuse to click the link but insist that somebody tells me the what it's all about) lest my eyes sear from my skull and I give them one click of revenue rendering me an instant bigoted Tory Kim Kardashian stalking Luvva luvva.

And though I mentioned her, I actually haven't any idea who Kim Kardashian is, I am far too busy reading books and playing with my children.

MrsWombat · 29/09/2014 22:21

Have you POAS?

Spanglecrab · 29/09/2014 22:18
