to be getting increasingly annoyed at some AIBU threads? It

[vmcd28]

It just seems that (more and more frequently), a hell of a lot of AIBU threads no longer discuss what the OP actually asked.
So many people jump on one word that was used then rip the poster to shreds over it.
Or it turns into an argument about something that's off on a tangent.
And the amount of times that someone explains something very very clearly, but some people still misconstrue what's been said is baffling.

[GypsyMoth]

its never a yes or no answer tho is it!!??

[MissyBrookes]

I've noticed this. Like there is a general story and something completely unrelated gets quoted and obsessed over, completely outshining the atter at hand.

[GooseberryFool]

How about this for an idea then? Only it works for me ...... If you don't like the title or the OP or anything about the thread then JUST DON'T READ IT!!!!

[KaraStarbuckThrace]

YABU.

Not everyone will know the meaning of the word "Misconstrue". You are just using it to say "How clever I am to know such long words"

And your hair is rubbish.



(I'm sure your hair is much better than mine lovely.

[Goblinchild]

Been around here long OP?
The sidetracking is part of the entertainment of AIBU. There are sections of the forum that are much more polite and civilised and serious and lovely.

yabu for not breastfeeding your poor dc .

[Goblinchild]

Maybe she's a werewolf or a were tiger. Not like youy to be speciest Maryz.

[JamieAgain]

Maybe it's meant to be "were off to see the Wizard" - didya think of that Maryz

I namechanged yesterday to ask a question about something which was worrying me and people answered a question I didn't ask. I repeated the question, same thing. I blame the education system.

Shan't detail it on here as it's rude to talk about it on another thread but it was a bit like this...

Q. Does anybody know if the zoo in Bognor is open on Fridays?

A. You're not allowed to keep lions in zoos anymore, it's banned under the Lion Act 2011.

[JamieAgain]

Lion poo is good for keeping cats off the garden, allegedly

[Pagwatch]

I need something to deter foxes. The semi naked plumbers didn't see them off.

[vmcd28]

Haha, lovely. You've all come up trumps :)

Fwiw, gooseberry, I've been here a while, BUT I find that there's a big difference between entertaining arseyness and people deliberately ignoring a point or an explanation, and yet STILL going on and on about something that no-one has actually said.

Maryz, don't even get me started on some of the spelling on here. I nearly started a thread on that once but shat myself thought better of it :)

[TheCowardlyLion]

Has everyone seen what Mariah Carey has named her babies?

[JamieAgain]

Yeah, as in "Were off to see the Wizard, but fancied a trip to the seaside on the South Coast instead"

[JamieAgain]

TheCowardly - no, what (and do you hire yourself out to shit in the garden, BTW)

[ShowOfHands]

No real clue about Bognor or zoos tbh. I've never been to either.

How dare people not know who I am instinctively maryz. Bastards.

And has anybody seen my dh? He should have been home hours ago?

[JamieAgain]

vmcd - I agree. And I like anyone who uses the word shat

[TheCowardlyLion]

Only with a special licence

Moroccan Scott Cannon and Monroe Cannon.

I am actually off to see the wizard in June. If I only had the courage.

[southeastastra]
