Cardinal Sins of AIBU

[QueenSconetta]

Can someone possibly explain these? I am a bit in fear of being roasted for inadvertently committing some heinous drip-feeding crime or similar.

Thanking you kindly, x.

annie i was being a little bit sarcastic there is so many posts claiming mil and Gp are unreasonable thats all i was trying to say , Im sure the majority of ILs are reasonable .

I getcha, sorry. Not sure about the majority being reasonable though...

well maybe some Ils are reasonable annie thats a bit of a compromise ,

Thank you all, I will try to be good!

My personal bugbear are the ones that go "AIBU to be shocked / upset / scared by this story - followed by a link to the DM."

Its the fucking DM. Its written to shock, upset and scare you.

I want to reply stop reading the Bloody DM then if it scares you cos it scares me

If you are a guy then you are not allowed to tell a female OP that SIBU for dumping sh*t on her guy.

You are not supposed to hit the OP with the harsh truth as to why she had been dumped or why her 'friends' are avoiding her or the real reason why DC is having problems at school.

Imagine the question 'do I look fat in this dress?' multiplied to infinity i.e. the truth will get you seriously beaten up virtually :)

Using AIBU to whinge about perceived low-level sexism against men is deeply tedious. Men- you've got the rest of the interweb, go use it!

I don't like stealth boasting. There was a thread on here a while back by someone questioning her baby's milk intake but then had to add that the baby "feeds herself with solids spectacularly". Or stealth boasts in the form of "AIBU to feel it's such a problem that my 3 year old has a reading age of a 30 year old?"

Wow thanks for setting us straight pushy dad.no truth here

Oh yes to paragraphs, drip feeding and stealth boasting (my personal pet hate)

Also pointless shite:

OP: 'AIBU to ask what soup you last ate?'
Me: Yes YABU because nobody gives a fuck

Really whingey posts about 'my life is sooooo terrible' - no specific aibu, or request for practical help, just a moany emotional vomit into cyberspace.

Just find it really victim like and fishing for sympathy rather than I have problems with x,y & z - what do you suggest.

(I am usually a very sympathetic person & like to offer constructive ideas)

LeBof

Take the plank from your eye before lecturing me about the speck that is in mine.

Translation: Feminist nut crackers have a forum of their own. Go and use it!

Threads where the OP never, ever makes another appearance other than their initial post. Winds me up no end, it's so deeply unsatisfying. Really irritates me. What's the point?

Please, you don't have to agree with or like any of the replies, but at least engage with the conversation you started!

PushyDad - I applaud you on your apt choice of name.

Yeah bugger off pushydad

OP, if I were you I wouldn't post at all

Lol, seems safest mojiotomania

Ah no, QueenSconetta, your name is too cool not to post.

And no kisses at the end of posts.

The stealth boasting is terrible, when OP asks AIBU think my child is very bright as she has achieved all level 5s by year 3

Yes you are BU, this is not the right place, find the g&t thread.

AIBU that this family live on benefits therefore have LOADS of money and im working and cant afford this?

The questions go:
MNERS: How do you know?
OP: I just do because my MILs bestfriends cousins daughters friend told me so...

GRRR!! Feck off!!

LOL M0naLisa that sort of thing pisses me right off too!

The posters that irritate me are the ones that suggest to an OP that they should post elsewhere because AIBU isn't 'fit' to take anything seriously... and they they continue blethering on on the thread anyway, or just keep repeating that helpful and patronisng 'advice'.

If you don't like a thread being on AIBU, report it, don't be so arrogant as to assume that there's any kind of 'hierarchy' on MN.

Thank you anniegetyourgun, and I was about to change it as well!

staycool - I will try harder, x.

saycool not stay, sorry

I guess get other people's names right too.
