On and on and on 😩

I've always thought 'read the room' was about being tactful rather than not disagreeing. E.g. someone on min wage posting about how hard and stressful their life was through lack of money and someone else coming on to say, yes, life is indeed very stressful, their high pressure £200k p/a job really takes it out of them. Comments that might be true and valid, but are tactless in the context of a particular thread.

The worst are the “why isn’t my house selling” threads - posters piling in to say “your terraced house looks cheap and nasty, and your taste in soft furnishings is horrible. The town you live in is a shithole, and you can’t sell your house because nobody in their right mind would move there”.

Also "redo kitchen and bathroom, change furniture and repaint whole house". Like people have that much spare money

when women who are clearly in terrible relationships with appalling men who abuse both them and their children ask for advice on how to leave and inevitably about half way through the thread, someone will pop up to post something like

‘well you could leave OP but bear in mind that he’ll now have the children 50% of the time and you won’t be there to protect them”

as if the women isn’t already beaten down and guilty enough as it is, let’s aim a kick right there….

I read a thread yesterday and at least half of the posts, probably more, used the phrase “passive aggressive” each acting as if they were the first and quite clever to do so.
Various MN buzzwords or buzz phrases have come and gone but this seems to be the flavour of the month. Why write exactly the same thing as other posters? What’s the point?
