To wonder what other posters do that really annoy you?

[atthewelles]

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.

I saw a thread where the poor OP was having a terrible time, she was struggling with English as it was not her first language and after about 20 posts from other people some bright spark posted "I'd love to help OP but I literally cannot read your OP without paragraphs"

Really? But 20 other people manages to read it?
Are you ever so slightly dense then?

How have you been petal?

hully there is no example.

It simply doesn't exist.

END OF.

Aaaaw thanks Hully

The paragraphs thing is bloody rude.

I haven't read the whole thread (sorry, I know that's probably top of the list) but my two major bugbears are: people wilfully misunderstanding or taking offence at an OP which clearly isn't malicious. And (usually on stepparent threads which have turned nasty) people inserting 'OP are you the OW?'. Usually accompanied by an . These things are just so unnecessary and often turn the tide of a thread which might previously have been fairly civilised. Grrr.

Yup, fair Hully.
I've never seen it either which was why I asked for examples.

I also agree with bran.

Oh, and I absolutely hate the expression 'suck it up'. That is all.

Jingle

Yes, threads that OPs that contain the word nanny or cleaner are like a red rag to a bull for some. People literally can't get beyond that point

And just out of interest when did entitled start to mean you benefit scrounging scumbag?

^^ sorry that was nonsense. Was meant to read "OPs that contain the word ...."

Or, if one is not to be provided, stop fucking saying it happens

Fair?

Er no

I didn't say it was done by you did I? nor did I imply it.

No I will not stop saying it happens, nor will I go and search out some random thread just to satisfy you that Im telling the truth.

I feel like we are in The Lady of The Rings or summat. The Gathering of the Ilk.

Amber, I didn't say that you did say it was I

I said that those that say it happens oft say it is I

That doesn't mean I said you said it is I

This: 'Yanbu to wonder that OP. however I am not sure this is the right section for the thread.'

Nothing at all. Mumsnet isn't RL so anyone is entitled to say anything legal.

Aibu is the joker of mumsnet anyway, if you really want help and advice post in the relevant sections.

No Hully, you just told me to 'stop fucking saying it happens' as though me and others saying it happens is a personal slight on you.

It isn't.

The car's gone btw.

Why have children if you don't want to look after them yourself?

Working mums have it lucky, they get to drink tea in peace and go to the toilet alone.

Yeah well SAHM do nothing all day. They are lazy.

Oh for fucks sake no one fucking cares. Honestly.
Work, don't work, dance naked on the front law for the neighbours to watch and judge you and throw money at you, no one fucking cares.

In all fairness amber that derailing accusation does seem to get thrown at the same posters a lot, yet no one really remembers it happening.

Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread, but two posters have mentioned "mansplaining", can someone tell me what this is?

YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH

All the paranoid feckers who think all threads are reverse AIBU. It doesn't happen that often fgs!

Definitely agree with louschmoo about people wilfully misunderstanding or taking offence at an OP which clearly isn't malicious. Couldn't believe my eyes at that thread about the heavily pregnant woman who jokingly tossed a nappy at her other half, aimed badly and accidently hit his glasses off so he shouted etc. People screaming at her that she had abused him by throwing human waste "deliberately" in his face and he should leave her immediately, at 37 weeks pregnant or whatever she was. Seriously twisting things to justify their out of proportion sense of moral outrage.
