For me it would probably be:

Not reading the OP properly and going off on a tangent
Pulling a thread totally OT in order to have a two way jokey conversation with someone else that goes on for pages and pages
Looking up someone's posting history and saying 'well on 5th April 2006 you said this and now you're saying that.

OP posts:

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 13:02

I like my recruitment consultants in per una with frosted lippy.

GetOrf · 24/01/2013 13:02

No. I don't want skirts suits from M&S. I don't care what they wear. They are all eeeeevil (apart from 1 or 2 nice 'uns).

I know hills.
Don't eat the cloven hoof of Thursdays.

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 13:03

I am actually feeling very sad about all the lonely abandoned slow cookers, could we not fashion some kind of sculpture from them?

TuftyFinch · 24/01/2013 13:03

You could read that 2 ways hilly.

GetOrf · 24/01/2013 13:04

I think the word 'consultant' applied on your job title means that you are operating a bit of a swizz.

Recruitment consultant
Travel consultant
Party plan consultant
PwC consultant

People who say "why are you asking a bunch of randoms on an Internet forum", not sure where to start with that.

When there is a thread about highly suspicious/secretive behavior of a not so DP there is always one poster who says "are you sure he's not just planning a surprise for you?"

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 13:05

I am a consultant's consultant.

creme de la creme

GetOrf · 24/01/2013 13:06

Oh consultant surgeon.

TuftyFinch · 24/01/2013 13:06

Always have. Always will.

I love discusting.

Its better than disgusting. It's angrier and has a screwed up face and bad shoes.

Absy · 24/01/2013 13:07

I hate the recruitment consultatns - they find my name on linked in, and then call me AT WORK (thank you switchboard Hmm) asking me if I'm interested in a lameola job.

I had a few happy weeks when I changed my name and they couldn't get through. It was awesome.

RandallPinkFloyd · 24/01/2013 13:07

^palate (n.)
late 14c., "roof of the mouth," from Old French palat and directly from Latin palatum "roof of the mouth," perhaps of Etruscan origin [Klein]. Popularly considered the seat of taste, hence transferred meaning "sense of taste" (late 14c.), which also was in classical Latin. Related: Palatal; palatalize.^

That there is etymology^^

I'm right aren't I, you're just joking yes? Please tell me, I may cry soon.

LadyBeagleEyes · 24/01/2013 13:08

People on the wind up that insist it's Ruth of your mouth rather than roof Wink.

Pagwatch · 24/01/2013 13:08

Someone hug Randall

TuftyFinch · 24/01/2013 13:09

RandallPinkFloyd · 24/01/2013 13:09

Arf at screwed up face and bad shoes Grin

NoelHeadbands · 24/01/2013 13:09

OP -I was sorting through my DH laundry and found keys to a lock up, a bloodied hacksaw and several human fingers in his work trousers. WWYD?

AIBU poster- Why were you snooping through his pockets?

BupcakesAndCunting · 24/01/2013 13:10

I fell a bit in love with discusted/discusting during the Thickos on Trip Advisor threads.

Do you know what really riles me about The Apprentice? Trouser suits for the wimmin. Does anyone remember Lucinda? She didn't wear trouser suits she wore all stuff that an art teacher might wear. She was great. "TROUSER SUIT = TAKE NO SHIT" Yeah you take no shit in your trouser suit from Next.

ResolutelyCheeky · 24/01/2013 13:10

Posters that don't agree with your response saying "get off my thread" like they own Mumsnet or something!

TuftyFinch · 24/01/2013 13:11

LadyBeagle it was that or chop wood. I chose the former and now I'm cold.

RandallPinkFloyd · 24/01/2013 13:11

Oh thank fuck for that. I'm not normally gullible honestly (although I hear they've taken that out of the dictionary anyway).

That's given me forehead winkles and everything Sad

BupcakesAndCunting · 24/01/2013 13:12
