What's your MN Niggle

[JackThayer]

Mine is when the thread is something along the lines of "what's your favourite dinner?" Or "Worst holiday you've ever been on?" And OP replies to every single post!

@wallybobs I've been on MN since 2007 and I've never seen that. When was the last one you saw?

@Heartofglass83 @Maddy70That’s what ‘see all’ the OP’s posts is for - easy to check whether she’s LTB already, or the stomach ache was diagnosed as ovarian cancer or many other reasons why your well thought advice might be redundant.

People who reply with "place marking"

Well you won't unless you're a Geordie and then an older Geordie.

Mines people who bump ancient threads. Which ties in with not reading the full thread posts after that.

Typo! I meant bollocked 🤣

The love of everything French.

Yes, the French stuff is weird.

I saw that thread.

You were endlessly patient

1. When the OP has realised that they've approached something wrong, and acknowledge it / provide additional requested info, but the pile-on continues telling her how wrong she's been. I admit I often don't RTFT if longer than a few pages, but at least click See All and read the OPs responses or updates! And if she has accepted her error, let that be enough!

1. When someone is asking how to deal with a situation positively and the response is just LTB or to go NC. I have seen a few threads where I think that is actually warranted. I worry that some posters might light the touchpaper to their own lives/relationships/friendships when there is likely another course of action - based on a raft of responses of people who don't know the people involved. Forgiveness and seeking reconciliation is so underrated on MN! And some people seem to be seeking how to save a relationship only to be told not to bother! (That's not to say that LTB or NC is never the right way... but my opinion is it's a bit over-prescribed by MNers!)

Posters attempting to sound official and academic demanding, "can you link to research/evidence etc......". No I bloody can't, do your own research!!

When someone has a list that says point 1, and then point 2 is also point 1. 🤣🤣🤣 don't know what happened there!

Or a .

Oh, yes; there are only so many times a person can come back with, "Yes, but..." or words to that effect.

I decided the OP was her own worst enemy and unwatched.

Posts with friends A , B, C, D. I get lost after the first paragraph.

I don't think it's fair to single out one particular poster.

When a thread moves on significantly from the point where I posted, and there’s no way to jump back to my last post and continue reading from there. So I have to search through pages to find my post.

"I have a friend, let's call them Elthelred"

People who start their vitriolic post with ‘gently’

😂

At the moment I’m pissed off that that the Thanks feature hasn’t taken off.

Though of course it may just be that my posts don’t inspire gratitude 😁

But I am committed, and I will carry on thanking in the hope that it catches on.

“Reader, I married him.”

A more specific example would be useful...

People who post in AIBU when there is no AIBU.

Gently...

I am patronising you my inferior from on high.

Awful.

Or "kindly"
