Mumsnet pet peeves

Does anyone have any pet peeves about the catchphrases or little snide comments on Mumsnet.
My personal favourite to a money related thread is "can't you just get a higher paying job"
So go on let's vent!GrinThanks

When a thread is posted that is slightly "unusual" for MN and receives loads of comments (don't want to make this a TAAT but I am thinking of the recent one where the poster thought she may have wind).

All well and good, but then there will suddenly be numerous threads about more or less the exact same situation - and the OPs, if challenged, will say they have never seen the other almost identical threads.

I'm not denying that sometimes a post will give someone a little nudge to think "oh yes, I meant to ask about that too" and create a post. The recent slew of posts about fences is another example. Bit like buses - they all suddenly come along at once.

"I didn't want to read and run", as if you're so busy doing life stuff but you've graced us with your knowledge that without it we would have been up the creek.

And who is going to know of you've read and run anyway?
