Something about weddings perhaps. Or mad neighbours.

Or leaving a preemie while you go waterskiing.

Share your memorable AIBU topics if you feel like it.

Can you find a link? I love AIBUs with a good resolution.

Unlike the slightly disappointing one this week about a wedding, where a couple had been told the actual wedding was for family only so were only invited to the evening do. Turns out their entire group of friends were invited to the actual wedding, they were the only ones who were B-listers Shock. Don't know how the B&G could have thought that wasn't going to come out... but maybe they didn't care. Anyway, OP's DH sounds a bit wet, the groom is his friend but he refuses to ask him "WTF mate - why are we B-listers and the rest of the gang are invited to the wedding??" so they've decided to not go to the wedding and cool it with the B&G. Unsatisfactory, somehow - I want to know why they weren't invited!!! I'd like to tell the OP"s DH to grow a pair and just ask the groom what's up!! But then I'm a caaaaaah, me :o

Salmotrutta · 11/08/2011 18:48

Pssst-I'd like to know why they weren't invited too!!

Jacksmania · 11/08/2011 18:50

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one!!

Jacksmania · 11/08/2011 18:51

Shit, no disrespect to Hully!! Or anyone else.

CheerfulYank · 11/08/2011 22:35

Jacksy you caaaaaaaahhh!

:o

I remember the Cinderella one, think I offered to begin slapping people right left and center, as I am wont to do. Blush

CheerfulYank · 11/08/2011 22:39

Cinderella here, gets me furious again just READING it!

MoominsAreScary · 11/08/2011 23:13

There's a funny one at the moment "AIBU to expect good wanking etiquette " had me in stitches!

shakey1500 · 11/08/2011 23:37

My favourite was spoof Mills and Boon esque one. It had Boden skirts, a marrow and Jamie Oliver.

Anyone else remember? I was howling Grin

JessKM · 12/08/2011 00:18

I second Moomins, the w#nking ettiquette is classic....any thing that mentions a 'hand knitted wank mitten' or a 'jizz mit' is truely good entertainment in my book.

Must say thanks for the link to the Sharon and the Wine saga, that had kept my 'rofling' for ages.

Jizz mit

Jacksmania · 12/08/2011 00:32

As I remember, Cheerful (well, not entirely true, you had to remind me) I was the originator of your slap list. :o

And, really - we NEED an answer - who the actual f*ck was Sharon?????

JessKM · 12/08/2011 00:46

I'll probably lose sleep wondering......

Salmotrutta · 12/08/2011 00:51

Oh the "Cinders" one was great too - that Mum rocked!

Some of the party ones where one poor kid gets excluded are awful Sad

I wonder if the "lost marbles" one is a goer??

Jacksmania · 12/08/2011 01:20

It is so far. Will have to check in later, am off to yoga class. (It's only 17:20 here if anyone's wondering.)

Tortington · 12/08/2011 01:48

oh i think its some freakky 2 am yoga shit

Jacksmania · 12/08/2011 01:58

Nah - it's freaky 6 pm yoga shit :o

CheerfulYank · 12/08/2011 03:42

Sharon lived down the road and loved Erasure. Obviously.

Thumbwitch · 12/08/2011 04:00

Yeah, and the OP's DH spent too much time at Sharon's house but apparently they weren't having an affair according to Adam the fruit & veg bloke at Tesco who also lent OP's DH the Rainbow videos and who Bagda fancied and she thought that OP's DH WAS having an affair with Sharon and Sharon and the OP's DH were going to go to Australia together so the OP could get together with Adam who wasn't impressed by Bagda's bananas and then the OP could get a puppy.
Clear now?

Thumbwitch · 12/08/2011 04:08

Oops, forgot the Grin!

CheerfulYank · 12/08/2011 09:25

faverolles · 12/08/2011 10:36

Oh the super soakers one :o
That was fantastic. Mumsnet at its very best.

youarekidding · 12/08/2011 18:30

Can anyone remember the 3 some with the lesbian friends, one of whmo wasn't actually a lesbian and Brian the boyfriend. I'm sure there was pizza and garlic bread involved somewhere. Grin

InfestationofLannisters · 12/08/2011 18:41

I was just searching for the super-soaker thread and found AIBU to sue this hotel chain

The thread I was after is alluded to and may well be linked there.
