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.

Competitive misery

Posters that hint at something really juicy but refuse to post any further info, and then you get hundreds of pages of 'pm me'. Fucking irritates the life out of me. Either just say it, or don't tease people with your 'top secret' information that you are dying to blurt out but want just enough people begging you before you'll think about hinting some more what it is you want to say.

getorf oh that fuck off to the far end... Argh! So fucking affected!

I hate 'I am going to get flamed for this but..'

That doesn't make you brave and forthright. It likely means you are about to post something fucking thick

Oh I did a 'am I pregnant' thread, it was great fun (especially when I pissed on a stick WRONG and it didn't work).

I am probably guilty of most of these crimes.

Fuck off to the far side of fuck is almost as bad as "Did you mean to be so rude".

Recent thread explaining "mansplaining":

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1666489-What-is-mansplaining?msgid=36787937

Oh and (on a roll) people who start threads and caption them as 'lighthearted'.

It makes me want to to go on there and start a rah.

People who drip feed they have one, depressions, mental health issues, aspergers etc (or the children they are posting about) in their OP but decide to enlighten people after 3 pages of being told they are unreasonable.

People who ask if the are bu, but get enraged when they are told they are bu.

People who get shitty because they the the op is reasonable and another poster doesn't. Often whether someone is unreasonable is an opinion.

I like yy

it's fast

I don't think I mind anything except rudeness

and thickness

'Did you mean to be so rude'

I cannot fathom mumsnet's pride in this lame and completely ignorable comeback.

Pagwatch it's even worse when they say "I'm probably going to get flamed for this but..."

And then go on to post something that just about every single person agrees with because it's so obviously agreeable.

Just why?

When someone says that they know something juicy about a sleb then won't divulge.

DON'T TEASE US!

I am glaring at YOU, Nancy66, wherever you may be.

Any nasty talk of cliques, shouting out for MN mates, group bullying etc when actually all that is happening is a number of posters agreeing that another is being a knob.

I know something juicy about a sleb Buppyhunni xxxxxxx

Thank you jammy and the beauteous zombie

Ooh yes, definitely the people who tell you something "wasn't funny".

Actually what I think you meant to say is I didn't find it funny. The latter is a perfectly valid observation, the former is condescending bollocks.

(My word ranting is therapeutic!)

And Zombie is too slow as usual...

I really want to know what Nancy66 knows now even tjho I don't actually care and won't have heard of the sleb anyway

I use yy sometimes.
And I

I am bloody irritating

Yes, yes, yes Bups, Nancy66 really anoys me doing that.

I get irritated by the posters who refuse to accept that some threads are just an OP wanting a place to let off steam or have a bit of a rant.

For example OP moaning about guests over Christmas etc. So they pounce with UABVVVVVVU because some people have no family blah blah blah or demanding they LTB in response to an OP that someone's partner was a bit snippy over breakfast.

So people have to add to thread titles
