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.

I hate it when people ask 'AIBU to be a bit upset about...' or 'AIBU to be a little miffed about...' or similar. Being a bit upset is rarely unreasonable and you just know that actually they are fuming about whatever it is, or else they wouldn't have bothered posting.

Jut think before you start the thread:

"How robust am I feeling?" If you are feeling sensitive, or emotional don't post. If you post and people then criticise you or disagree with you, don't swear at them

My advice - don't post on AIBU unless you can handle hearing YABU.

If you have had food for thought, say so

If you are replying to an AIBU, bear in mind that the person may be feeling a bit emotional. Given that you, the replier, are probably not feeling a bit emotional, try and have a bit of a heart and don't FFS them straight away

This might help

Remember there are other bits of MN that may serve you better and treat you nicer

trills is it wrong that all I could really see was Terry Wigan's boaby?

boaby

That's a new one on me. New words for pork swords are always welcome in AIBU

Trills!!!!! Ugh! Spluttered my cup of tea, hideous sight of Terry Wogan's mickey is v offputting......

boaby
mickey
pork sword

any more? :o

My DSs call the whole meat'n two veg peanuts

nadgers

Any links to the DM without warning.

Otherwise I don't really mind, they are all quite entertaining.

I'd like to ban the sign, except when applying it to oneself. Makes my blood boil

Ooooh

THINKING WE ARE MIND-READERS, WE ARE NOT. We only know what you tell us

Shouting

Walloper

People posting that a subject is done to death - usually people who spend too much time on here!! If you think it's overdone, stay off the thread, find a thread you are interested in and get out more

Is walloper something you'd like to ban or a word for penis?

Pronounced Wah-lopper is a word for penis, lol.

Posts which start 'So, OK, Bit of Background, Sorry Long Story' or any combination of those.

I don't mind that HintofBream. It allows me to make a choice about whether to skim it or dive in.

Avoid any posts moaning about your life.

They will inevitably be followed by MNers trying to outdo you with tales of woe and lots of 'you think you have it hard......'.

Passive aggressive smilies

Hugely defensive, overly-justifying opening posts with 8 billion disclaimers in desperate attempt to cover up every possible unreasonable element

LeBof - I quite like reverse AIBUs. It's like unraveling a murder mystery.

ignoring pages and pages of reasoned YABUs, and then as soon as one person
sympathises with the OP, leaping out of nowhere to say ' thank you hunnimummi, it's good to know that someone understands!' with an audible sniff towards the viper chorus.
