AIBU to be

a lurker? I joined about 6 weeks ago but have never got up the courage to post (except about twice!). But I so enjoy reading all the threads and it even makes me sometimes look at a possible different point of view. I feel a bit scared creating a thread as I have seen people be a bit..."direct!"

You are very brave I've been on here 15 months an never started a thread! I've posted on quite a few just never started one Grin

DogEared · 04/05/2012 19:39

What the bloody hell do you mean?! You are being unreasonable!!! You must leave him, right now!!!!

:o I'm only pulling your leg. Welcome! :)

I threw myself in at the deep end and started a thread about DHs toilet habits on my first day! GrinBlush

Psammead · 04/05/2012 19:40

Welcome!

Brave to post in AIBU, but at least it's tame and not about something utterly dreadful like parent and child parking spaces.

AgentZigzag · 04/05/2012 19:40

I lurk more than I post, but the more you post the less self conscious you are about what you're saying.

Just get yourself in the throng and let rip - in a nice and polite way of course Smile

Mrsjay · 04/05/2012 19:41

hiya dont be scared Grin

FoofyShmooffer · 04/05/2012 19:41

Well you are now!

Lurker no longer.

Flee now, while you can. Grin

usualsuspect · 04/05/2012 19:41

Have a glass of wine or two , then get stuck in

choccyp1g · 04/05/2012 19:43

I'm mainly a lurker too, I only chip in occasionally (and usually get ignored Sad). But beware, you will soon find yourself thinking in Mumsnet-speak.

Thetokengirl · 04/05/2012 19:44

You are braver than me.
I mostly lurk, but have started several thread but never on AIBU.
YANBU, btw.

BumpingFuglies · 04/05/2012 19:44

YABU. Leave the bastard. You are entitled and vile and I am pulling my catsbum mouth. Grin Grin grin]

Oooh Hotel California Foofy!

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

Welcome Happy Smile

Mrsjay · 04/05/2012 19:45

ChronicToothAche · 04/05/2012 19:45

YABU to give such a vague title Grin

Well done you! I lurk daily, post infrequently, and almost always seem to get someone's back up when I post.

I'm not a confrontational person at all and I try to get along with everyone IRL, but my clumsy fingers land me in it online. I am hapless.

happyhopefulmummy · 04/05/2012 19:55

Ahhh! I don't understand what a lot of you have said - cats bum Mouth?? (can guess at that one!)

But this is the only " room" I Ever read. Are there more?!

Babylon - if it was about your hubby spending hours on the bog And people commenting his bum Muscles will die in old age, I sent that link to my toilet obsessed husband and told him to read it in the hope he stops crapping and reading. It hadn't worked yet.

Ah, Happy I've been thinking for some time there should be an "MN Disctionary". Would anyone like to help me describe catsbum?

BumpingFuglies · 04/05/2012 20:14

Loads of topics happy

sugarice · 04/05/2012 20:16

Is posting an opinion to be considered a lurker if you haven't started your own thread? Confused

nicklenackle · 04/05/2012 20:17

I am also here reading every day, but hardly ever post. I have no courage! Blush

BumpingFuglies · 04/05/2012 20:20

Ugh, of all the words to spell wrong...

Dictionary

sorrreeee

MaryPorter · 04/05/2012 20:20

I have only ever started one AIBU thread, and I got unanimous YANBU (You Are Not Being Unreasonable) so I've never tried again as I don't want to jinx myself Grin
