AIBU to think that it doesn't actually take much to start a thread...?

[Trills]

And even less to respond to one?

Especially on a wet Bank Holiday.

So anyone saying "why do you care so much?" should realise that it actually takes only a very very tiny amount of caring to start or respond to a thread, and that the person they are talking to probably doesn't care "so much" at all.

I mean, I'm starting this thread and I really don't care very much at all, but I can't be bothered to get off the sofa to find some other entertainment.

Boden, of course! Frankly I'm shocked you had to ask.

(Psst, don't forget shoes)

Alas, I own no Boden.

I own no clothes

Well none that fit.

Nothing pre baby fits, and everything post baby I bought pre baby with blind optimism about how fast I would lose the weight.

What should I wear?

Ladytee, please start a thread about what to wear to the new parent's meeting tomorrow. because I'm sure someone will reply 'why do you care?'

YouGoonie.

What a fab idea!

Start it in S&B and they will say a striped boatneck t shirt with a navy blazer with the sleeves rolled up, skinny jeans and some kind of shoes that I will have to look up to understand what they are. Possibly with a scarf.

Ballet flats Trills?

Oh god. ::head in hands::

I have no idea what a boatneck t shirt is. I know what stripes are. I do not own a navy blazer. I have skinny jeans, even coloured ones bang on trend, me.

Scarf?!?!?

::faints::

That's it. My son will be friendless and hate me forever because I don't dress right for the school gate. He will be a pariah and never invited to any birthday parties.

::hyperventilates::

::hopes everyone knows she's kidding and couldn't actually give a flying::

Start the thread! Start the thread!

Here ya go.

Coloured skinny jeans? You are cool. I don't have any coloured jeans because they only make them in skinny and skinny jeans and I do not get on.

2 pairs, Trills. Part of a 3 jean buy at Debehams' sale. All 3 pairs? £21.

I rock, me.

Ladytee You are brilliant!

Bargain!

Not one person asked me why I cared so much..... [pout]

I know! Everyone was so supportive, it was very odd!

Your birthday suit.

People aren't rude usually in S and B, so they wouldn't say "why do you care?"

It's quite civilised over there. However I don't have a clue what they are talking about. It's jeans and a top for me, unless I dress up, then it's a dress. I don't understand all the other words they use with gay abandon.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise you had posted it AIBU.

What is wrong with people?? Why aren't they being rude?? Is MN broken

The MN "Why do you care?" brigade are nothing like so bad as the Guardian trolls who come onto Marina Hyde's Snarky Sleb Twaddle column to say "OMG IT IS THE END OF CIVILISATION WHY DOES ANYBODY CARE ABOUT THESE PEOPLE WHY DO YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE DON'T YOU KNOW THERE IS A WORLD PIXEL SHORTAGE AND YOU ARE WASTING IT ON THIS!"

Every single fucking week. And Hadley's S&B Queries. It makes me want to track them down and kill them disconnect their broadband.

It didn't matter what I was wearing as it was bucketing down and I looked like a drowned rat anyway!!!

I had one of these today when I posted a midly opposing POV, and truly I didn't really care, much less have an argument about it

I sometime use MN as a measure of how much I may or may not care about something. Not about what anyone else is talking about, tbh, because mostly I don't care very much at all about that, but if something's bothering me.

So I start writing (for e.g) 'AIBU to think that people shouldn't park i....' and then I realise that I don't even care enough to finish the sentence. It is rather liberating, in a small and don't care-ish kind of way.
