Seriously.
Aibu is for honest opinions, if you would like varying honest opinions on your predicament please do post.
but I'm getting fucking fed up of threads of people being (for the majority) unreasonable and whining on about it, then having a hissy fit and declaring they are leaving forever.
Get this-I couldn't give a flying fuck!
Grow a thicker skin, consider the advice you've recieved, and move on.

Yes YABU and a little smug as well. Stop whining yourself and get over it. Not everyone is as thick skinned as you, so what?

booyhoo · 07/11/2010 21:35

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

LaWeaselMys · 07/11/2010 21:36

YABU... Because why do you care what other randomers do?

SuePurblybilt · 07/11/2010 21:38

Oh do fight. I always miss the fights.

scottishmummy · 07/11/2010 21:47

I do love a good flounce. I always imagine it with lots of hair flicking and door slamming.

BarnacleBill · 07/11/2010 21:48

"Get this-I couldn't give a flying fuck!"

Well, gosh... all those aibu-ers eager for your attention will be sorely disappointed now won't they?

Mumcentreplus · 07/11/2010 21:49

...

Facts are people flounce and fight and get on your tits..

I've been here a good long while and people have always been bitchy..

CheerfulYank · 07/11/2010 21:49

Ooh yes, missbehiving, and one's nose must be as far up as possible.

tallwivglasses · 07/11/2010 21:50

When you can see people baiting one-another and enjoying it, it's entertaining. Occasionally a poster gets seriously upset and I hate that.

scottishmummy · 07/11/2010 21:52

its the grim im flouncing so come persuade me to stay by waffling on about how loved/regarded/fragrant i am.all a rouse to get ego stroked

wishiwas21again · 07/11/2010 22:08

but isn't starting a thread moaning about newbies flouncing a little well dare I say it....attention seeking?

The post just reeked of 'well aren't I great?' and seems to be a call to collective ego stroking amongst the AIBU veterans . They will have to stroke quite vigorously though, what to feel it through those wonderfully thick skins and all Hmm

Just as bad as attention seeking flouncing IMO. If they bug you so, just ignore them.

Hedgeblunder · 07/11/2010 22:40

Sorrr to clarify-by 'newbies' I meant first time posters who do dramatic flounce- not anyone who ever has been called U!
I think wish has just got her knickers in a twist because I said she was unreasonable last week.

Hedgeblunder · 07/11/2010 22:42

And what scottishmummy said!

I'm not an old gimmer either,never said I was!

PinkIceQueen · 07/11/2010 22:43

I'm a newbie, don't think I've flounced anywhere, why do people hate newbies so much? Surely places like this wouldn't survive without the occasional "new blood" arriving? Plus, I've only just discovered this site and think it's great best laughs I've had in ages reading some of this stuff.

Apologies in advance if i've offended anyone by whining making a comment as I'm a newbie :o

Hedgeblunder · 07/11/2010 22:46

Pinkie- I like new posters - I don't like first time ever posters who get their knickers in a twist over nowt!
