Mine would be..
Aibu to tell this lunatic at the baby group to stop talking and let me get a word in

(In actual fact, I talk way too much when I’m nervous/unsure how to make conversation cos I’m rubbish at it)

OP posts:

I told someone to put their dog on the lead in the local park - it was sniffing around near all the ducks.

I'd be THAT anti dog person and have three hundred posters say I shouldn't have objected to the dog annoying the wild animals

managedmis · 03/05/2019 21:20

'There's this bitch at work who never says good morning, acts superior and hasn't told anyone she's moving to another department. AIBU?'

That'll be me

churchthecat · 03/05/2019 21:23

AIBU to tell her to get a life and stop sobbing over Endgame already.

ImNotHappyaboutitPauline · 03/05/2019 21:29

AIBU to expect SIL to select a birthday gift for dd from the various helpful links I sent her (unasked)? The items are twice as much as I myself will spend but hey she can afford it !

^ My SIL...

My bitch neighbour just shouted at my 6-year old and terrified him.

No, I really didn't. He was peeing in my garden and I firmly asked what on earth he was doing and told him I'd tell his mum. He disappeared sharpish and was, apparently, "hysterical" by the time he got home. I was MUCH more lenient than I would be if my 6 year old pee'd in a neighbour's garden! But I still feel shit that I upset a kid

"I pulled out of a petrol station today without looking, despite the give way markings, and a stupid cow in a Ford S-Max beeped at me because I cut her off. But to prove that I was in the right, and that the give way markings were null and void, I pointed at the ground. That'll learn her"

Shockers · 03/05/2019 21:42

My wife is always complaining about feeling ill. She has a day of being well, then can’t do anything the following day. I’m getting tired of her being so lazy.

ImNotHappyaboutitPauline · 03/05/2019 21:49

One from my mother:

Dd told me she was taking her two dc to a shopping centre I love. They were planning to do mini golf at 11 am, buy trainers for the dc, have lunch and then go to the cinema. She said I was more than welcome to join them if I fancied it and I said yes enthusiastically.

AIBU to think dd should be willing to change the time she's agreed to pick me up when I text just as they're getting in the car? I know we agreed 10.20 but I LOVE to potter about for hours in the morning doing nothing in particular. I've no idea why she got impatient when I waited until her car pulled up to start faffing about looking for my shoes, glasses, keys and purse...

Also, was I BU to brightly suggest we go for coffee and cake as soon as we parked the car? It was ONLY ten to 11, plenty of time to make our way to the other side of the large complex!

Oh and was she BU to not scrap their plans and drive me home when I decided in the restaurant I DIDN'T fancy the cinema after all? I know I assured her I'd be FINE moseying about for two hours but surely my pained expression and injured tone told her otherwise?

I know that's mean but dear god the woman gets more contrary by the week I swear!,

KurriKurri · 03/05/2019 22:36

I was doing my job of encouraging people in the street to explore alternative energy suppliers, but when I got up very close to an old middle aged woman and said 'who's your energy supplier?' she said 'I'm not telling you because it's none of your business' in a very abrupt way.
What a rude cow, I hope she tripped over her shopping trolley and her glasses fell off.

Justanothernamechange2 · 04/05/2019 14:16

My neighbour told the ASDA delivery guy that im a self-entitled idiot while i was bent down on the other side of the fence listening.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 04/05/2019 14:21

Mine would be ‘My NDN is out mowing the grass in a full on hailstorm!’
(In my defence it’s been rain/sun/rain/sun and blowing a gale all day and I’ve been in and out to do the grass three times. When the hail started I was nearly done so I thought, sod it, pressing on! 😂)

AlunWynsKnee · 04/05/2019 14:22

DW is obsessed with peeling her feet after using some sock things she got off the internet. AIBU to think it's weird?

She never shuts up about running its so boring

EL8888 · 04/05/2019 14:52

Probably;

-AIBU to not expect my daughter to take over those annoying day to day tasks l don’t like to do. I know she lives hundreds of miles away, has a demanding job and a house that needs renovating. But I’m tied up myself with my 4 - 5 holidays a year and ever changing interior design projects! Retiring young is so tiring

-why does my employee not like the goal posts being constantly changed, pay cuts and disregard for their feelings or concerns?

justgivemewine · 04/05/2019 15:03

AIBU to have a go at my neighbours son about his mental health problems and tell him his mum just sits at home doing nothing and should look after him better, even though I have never met her and know absolutely nothing about what she does for him.

AngelaKilfeather · 04/05/2019 15:08

Why is that eccentric woman with the weird house and kids wandering up and down the street holding a packet of chicken?

cricketmum84 · 04/05/2019 15:10

Haha! Love this thread!

Mine would be: new woman at work won't stop banging on about bloody tofu 😂😂

thingswillgetbettersoon · 04/05/2019 15:28

Mine would be:
"I'm really annoyed at my husband. We went to my step sons to meet his new baby and step sons DM was there. It had been a very long time since my husband had seen her but they got on far too well. There is clearly still a connection between them and I think he's still in love with her"
FWIW I am the husband and yes I am still in love with my ex. I hadn't realised until I saw her again after more than 20 years

HalfBloodPrincess · 04/05/2019 15:34

Mine would be

‘We agreed we wouldn’t find out the sex of our unborn baby, but my dw had to have a 36 week growth scan last week that I couldn’t attend, and she found out’

Except dh doesn’t know I know, and I’ve hidden the little black and white gingham dress that I’ve bought for her to come home in at the bottom of my hospital bag 😏

onitlikeacarbonnet · 04/05/2019 16:15

Please help me!!! I’m a loving, caring dad and I just want to see my children. It’s been 3 years since I was forced to leave my family home and my ex has done nothing but try to keep my kids from me. Last year I had no choice but to go through the courts as she refused mediation and will not listen to me.
I’m concerned for my dc’s emotional welfare.
She has forced them into a single parent environment and taken them away from me.

Help me please!

BearSoFair · 04/05/2019 16:21

'AIBU to think the lady working in this shop might have been drunk? She seemed a bit out of it and her speech was slurred' - I'm sure at least one customer of mine earlier this week must have wondered. I was actually just in a great deal of pain with an abcessed tooth, and very dosed up on painkillers. I was VERY aware of how dodgy my speech was sounding!!
