To wonder why people post in AIBU when they are not actually asking whether they ABU?

[Psammead]

I have noticed this often recently. Is AIBU the new _chat?

How DARE you freeze penguins , you evil person! I knew you were evil - there was something about the style of your post that made a shiver go up my spine. Even before I read it, I knew. I always know. I said to my hubby - there's an evil person on mumsnet today - a shiver's gone down my spine and the keyboard sor of shuddered under my fingers....

And before you knew it, you found out I was actually a mass murderer! Of kitties!

How perseptive. Spooky. No more wishes for you

Oh dear. I do appear to have murdered the English Language in that post. Perseptive, pacifically...

It is the action of sad attention seekers

Who are you calling a sad attention seeker........

Me! Me! Pick me!
