Coming from another thread about CFs that was massively derailed, thread derailment is at the top of my list of CF behaviour on Mumsnet.
What is yours?

The multitude of;

"It's the Torys fault that...." threads...

The latest was blaming the queues for ferries at Dover and a cancelled school trip on "The Torys" despite there being no queues on the Channel Tunnel nor the airports.

weightymatters73 · 11/04/2023 14:21

Oh, now its dentists...The Torys are at fault for dentistry...

On a post about places using pre cooked and microwaved foods, I posted a comment about having a lovely pub lunch with my daughter, saying how nice the food was and how friendly the staff were.

Someone said that wasn't their thing, they only liked fresh, homemade food and preferred the staff to be discreet, not friendly.

@weightymatters73 the delays were due to the backlog of coaches. Before brexit the majority of coaches used to get waved through. Now each passport has to be checked and stamped. Takes much longer. No coach trips via the chunnel or the airport....

😂 they sound like a boring, miserable bastard.

Quoted wrong post above! That was for @tillytoodles1

"This."
"This with bells on"
"So what did you say to her when she said that to you?"
"The brain isn't fully developed until they're 25"
"Could it be autism"

Anothernamename · 11/04/2023 15:32

Not answering the question that the OP has asked and instead just being pathetic and nitpicking at a tiny detail in the original post such as ‘YABU for using ‘their’ instead of ‘there’

Bbq1 · 11/04/2023 16:42

Also Op's who ask advice then every single piece of advice given, they reject. Place to hang a used a dishcloth anyone?!

LutherRalph1 · 10/04/2023 11:58

Being the first to reply and quoting the whole Op
It's right there ffs

This is a bit of a bugbear of mine.

in which case isn't it the school's fault? - send them on a flight (most schools do now, my DS's school ski trip was under £1k inc flight) or in minibuses....or complain about the companies who book too many coaches and can't get them all through?

I struggle to see why a cancelled school ski trip is "the torys" fault....

Yes brexit is a pain in a lot of ways (Tory Remainer here!) but you can't blame everything on something that happened nearly 18 months ago....

Brexit (and "The Torys") is the excuse; not the actual reason.

Mangogirl12 · 12/04/2023 14:56

People who call pro womens rights threads 'anti-trans'. They're just proving the point that being 'pro-trans' means anti-women by default.

@NoneedtoquotetheOP

It's also a huge bugbear of mine so I absolutely love your username. I also changes mine after a bastard of a thread Grin

Mamamia32 · 12/04/2023 22:02

Grammar police. So snobby.

This one gets brought up all the time, but people who jump on threads just to say 'i couldn't possibly eat all that!' I bet in real life they can eat all that and more.

Ah, but they must be the ones who make a week’s worth of meals from one medium roast chicken😉

Justleaveitblankthen · 12/04/2023 22:37

When the OP posts an introduction that is pretty lengthy to cover the story.. and the first, fourth, seventh, eight, twentieth, fifty-seventh etc etc PPS all feel the need to completely repost it.
This drives me insane!
I have just fucking read it all!
Why repeat it?

Even worse when their only addition at the end is some bollocks three word platitude 🤬

WoofWoofBeachLife · 13/04/2023 14:47

When other members start arguing between themselves on a thread, it's so disrespectful to the OP. It's often not even related to the original post ffs.

Vitriolinsanity · 13/04/2023 15:20

Every boomer is a Tory cunt who is bleeding the country white and spending "our" taxes and living in "our houses"

Every person that is taking an AI holiday is bleeding their country of choice economy white. Buy a tent and enjoy it!

"NHS here". Well thank fuck Batman's arrived.

April 1 onwards, why should I pay to have my child sitting next to me on a plane. Bastard airlines bleeding us white.

Vitriolinsanity · 13/04/2023 15:24

Actually none of my points is CFery.

Feel free to add "people that don't respond to the premise of the thread"
