I admit that I am a new member to this site but having looked around a number of threads (especially AIBU ones) the one over-riding thought that comes to mind is get a grip on reality!

I have read about someone who live in a rural village complaining about a neighbour who has a cockerall.

Someone risking a supermarket workers job over a silly comment that would not have been understood by her DD (and for some reason seems to think her DD will never hear this type of talk in her life)

People complaining about schools saying their DC are nto ready for full time (mainly to reduce their childcare costs but blaming the school for looking after the childs needs)

and the list goes on!

Folks; live in the real world for a change.......

lets all walk into a pub we've never been in before.

tell the landlord that his beer tastes like shit.

show the locals your arse and tell them they are all numpties.

would we be unreasonable to so? I dunno, OP what do you think?

Oh I do hope OP had a safe journey back to the Realworld. Should we expect a postcard?

I'm so sorry my cock thread irritated you.

Please don't let your judgey pants throttle you, you would be sadly missed; and the loss to scintillating, diverse and measured debate would be incalculable.

So I suppose you think my thread about how to organise dh ties best, is unimportant in the big wide world. But really it has so many underlying implications. I could just get fed up some day, of lifting them off the floor and totally crack up, loose the plot and go on a mad killing spree round the village. Result 160 bodies sprawled round the place. Breathe.... But no thanks to mn I am totally organised now and unlikely to lose it any time soon.

Ties are very serious Eddie, thank the lord that MN has saved the village.

lesley33 · 28/02/2011 10:05

YANBU I agree with you.

allsquareknickersnofurcoat · 28/02/2011 10:10

OP, are you one of those who delights in writing "at least you can talk to your mum, mine died" on threads where people complain about their mother?

OP - YANBU. Bless 'em. I heard that the Tory cut-backs were going to affect the production of Cath Kitson prints.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 28/02/2011 19:11
