Phrases that make you realise you shouldn’t stay on a thread…

[CurlewKate]

Are there phrases that people post on threads that, if loads of others agree, you know you should get out before it makes you angry/unhappy? And then you don’t, and you get angry and unhappy and you’ve got no one but yourself to blame?

Currently mine is “politics of envy”

Anything which is followed by an instruction to “Discuss.”

Any OP that begins "Hi mumsnetters" or - even worse - "Hi ladies"

Are you on glue? was a joke response on a wedding thread where a poster said they had to go along to a so called friend's wedding venue and decorate it for the event but wasn't actually invited to the event. So they were an unpaid events manager by another name.

the other one that crops up is "cancel the cheque", which was a case of RTFT because it was parroted by every other poster, like they were the first person to ever think that one up.

and "report it to HR" when the OP said, on repeat, that they didn't have a formal HR dept.

Home made on any what's for dinner threads. Stealth boast? It's all home made. Home made potato wedges. Hardly rocket science.

In view of the responses on here to OP's actual question, my major bugbear is people that don't read the initial post properly before answering. Sympathies, OP, I know exactly what you mean - I also feel the need to leave threads that go the way you have described.

Ignore my previous reply as I omitted to give an example of phrase.

Same here! 'Nibbles' also makes me cringe, but i know it's irrational 😂
