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:

DISCUSTING

DISCUSTED

Bups, Suppernanny has a lot to answer for.

TuftyFinch · 24/01/2013 13:13

And why do they wear the highest shoes in thevworld that they can't walk in? And see through dresses? And they've always got a hairdryer in their bloody hand. Andvifvits windy they hold on to their hair like it's going to blow away.

RantyMcRantpants · 24/01/2013 13:13

Oooops! Supernanny even Blush

HecateWhoopass · 24/01/2013 13:14

Say how much they hate things that you know you actually do, thus leaving you feeling shy about posting.

Bastards.

Absy · 24/01/2013 13:17

I also like discusting. It's like it's worse than disgusting

Disgusting, disCusting, Discutingest

BupcakesAndCunting · 24/01/2013 13:17

Dinnae worry Hecate, pet.

I LOL all over the gaff. I'm a LOLMONSTER. I know it riles but if I am genuinely laughing it is pithier than writing out "I am genuinely laughing" Fuckem.

You carry on with your discusting/huns/bubbah/happy mom,happy baby. I still luffs ya.

SPBInDisguise · 24/01/2013 13:17

I put lighthearted in thread titles. My most recent one was "to think Dh is lying to me". I didn't want any comments along the lines of how insensitive I was being to women who are dealing with lying husbands when I was sharing something I found mildly amusing.

I'm surprised no one has said people who beg for Pms then don't reply. Guilty. Sorry, whoever that was. I will go in and reply properly later.

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 13:17

people that say

BEST THREAD EVAH!!!!!!!!!!

when IT SO ISN'T

Someone just farted/trod in poo - THAT IS NOT FUNNY

LadyBeagleEyes · 24/01/2013 13:18

My mum was called Ruth.
Which brings me on to baby names. Some will like your choice, some won't but there's no need to get so nasty unless it's a really poncy name and then I'll judge. But I won't say it. I'm nice.
And can I add that Fraser for a boy is the best name ever.[smug]

SPBInDisguise · 24/01/2013 13:19

Just checked, it was hecate. Thank you for pming me and sorry I ignored it. I did read it!

Absy · 24/01/2013 13:19

Yes, because clearly the best fred ever was Thickos

Hersetta · 24/01/2013 13:19

The apologists are really the only thing that really annoy me. They come up with all manor of excuses to excuse bad behaviour but especially seem to like 'perhaps the child/adult has special need/mental heath issues' when they know no more about the situation than the OP.

Also people spelling paid as payed, makes me want to scratch my eyes out.

BupcakesAndCunting · 24/01/2013 13:20

Best name for a boy is Dave.

I'm telling you.

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 13:21

Thickos and grangran with all the songs

BupcakesAndCunting · 24/01/2013 13:21

I do love Thickos.

It's one of the threads that I can think of when I am just sat on a train/shopping at Asda Waitrose/having sex with DH and BURST OUT GUFFAWING.

"bastard spanish eating spanish food and talking bastard spanish in bastarding Spain" by ShirleyKnot has to be in my Top 10 MN posts of all time.

Angelfootprints · 24/01/2013 13:22

People who use threads for their own agendas

op "' Where is the best place in Bournemouth for a girls night out?"
Agenda poster " How DARE you use the word girls. Dont you know you have personally set back feminisim by 123 years now?"

LadyBeagleEyes · 24/01/2013 13:22

We do need a MN alternative to Lol, Pmsl etc.
I genuinely laugh out loud at some threads, though I've never pissed myself TBF.

Absy · 24/01/2013 13:24

I have re-read Thickos, end to end, about 4 times and it still makes me actually laugh out loud. In fact, I even (obtusely) reference it in my guide to UK culture for a friend who's moving to the UK, under "International Relations"
"Spain - is a hot place where you can go on vacation, if you play your cards right, and still enjoy things like chips, sausages, pubs, the company of other English people and Proper Tea. Play your cards wrong, however, and you might end up surrounded by fucking Spanish people, speaking Spanish and insisting on serving Spanish Food. "

RandallPinkFloyd · 24/01/2013 13:24

I went into baby names once.

I was flaaaaaamed. It was fucking brutal, they take no prisoners over there do they?

I was told that if I called my DS Toby he would undoubtedly be a total twat. I quietly mentioned that they were being a bit harsh and I was just interested to know if they liked the names on my short list or not.

I was handed my arse.

BupcakesAndCunting · 24/01/2013 13:24

HULLY

What is grangran? No-one will tell me.

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 13:24

Shirl don't come round no more Sad

alreadyinbloodyuse · 24/01/2013 13:25

I hate it when the majority of posters disagree with an OP, someone posts something nasty and another poster responds with " X, I think I love you".
Stop kissing arse, it's actually because you don't want that poster/bully slating you in future posts.
People seems to think the AIBU thread is a popularity contest and are too scared to post their actual opinions.
You know who you are!

Angelfootprints · 24/01/2013 13:25

Noel that is so true!

The only crime there is the snooping.

Tut.

I am genuinely laughing out loud!

RandallPinkFloyd · 24/01/2013 13:26

Grangran was beesimoo's Nanna.
