What’s the strangest reason someone has got cross with you on MN?

When I was new to MN I used a way of phrasing something that is very common in my local dialect. To the point that I still can’t figure out what was wrong with how I phrased it. However rather than answering my thread there was just a pile on about my typing.

Another time someone became very angry that I said I worked at a school with a farm. I did at the time. But they were so angry that I might have “outed” my self. I’ve never put anything on here that I would be embarrassed people in my life finding out so I don’t know why they were so worried for me!

its hard to sympathise with people earning 6 figures complaining that money is tight and they can't afford to go on holiday (because they live in an expensive house / send kids to inde schools/ drive 3 cars or whatever) - when other parents are having to go hungry to feed their kids and are having to save the pennies to pay for new shoes.

Here we go.

@FlowerStickerproving a point beautifully. Wasn't referring to those posts. When people come and ask for advice, on pensions, mortgage, savings etc. it always derails into angry judgment over practical help. Yes. Some people are more fortunate. Doesn't mean they can't ask for information and advice.

Actually this is true of many threads about skiing. When someone starts one they often end up caveating it so much (this is our only holiday / we fit 12 people into a tiny French 4 person apartment / I sold all my shoes to afford it) that the main point gets lost.

There was a thread about ski resorts people have enjoyed going during the first lockdown. It was in the “Skiing” section, under travel so you had to actively seek it out. There were still a bunch of people who came onto the thread to tell everyone that they were responsible for coronavirus and even discussing going skiing (without actually doing so - because it wasn’t possible) was a terribly irresponsible thing to do.
