Other than troll hunting and personal abuse etc.

eg: "don't you have anything better to worry about?"

Yes of course I fucking do. Just because I posted something doesn't mean it is the only cunting thing I care about!

Or when you say "I am worried about X happening if I do Y"

and people are all "Well I did X and Y didn't happen"

Okay so assuming I am you and there is no random element then that's a great help....cheers.

Gawd, anything to do with grips, get one/buy one/put one on the bleeding shopping list.

Fuck Off!

You sound lovely.

"Wow. Just .... Wow."
Brings me out in a rash. I can imagine the person saying it and I want to throw custard pies in her pompous, sanctimonious face.

Nancy66 · 27/03/2013 16:03

You sound like a journalist...

Pandemoniaa · 27/03/2013 16:04

Could you expand this slightly to include OPs? Thus outlawing any thread in AIBU that starts: "I know I'm NOT BU..."

ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:04

Any mention of grammar tbh.

Some poor sod is pouring out their heart and get "it's mildly interesting that this shit is happening to you but what really gets me going is your use of their instead of there"

Time and a place people...

OP posts:
ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:05

oh yes we can cover banned OP's as well!

OP posts:
ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:06

I am having big problems on this thread....because a tiny part of my forgets what it is about and takes each comment as an actual comment on my actual OP.

I very nearly just told you all that I'm not a journalist....

Paragraphs!

ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:07

ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:08

yup MN should do an autoreplace of 'grips' for ....hm let me see...how about 'tigers'

"you seem to have misplaced your TIGER, let me get you a new one"

Yup that works.

I don't like people just posting a 'score'.

Why? Is this troll hunting? Seems stupid.

ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:10

yeah scores must be troll hunting....

OP posts:
Jalopeno · 27/03/2013 16:11

Just read this to my DH and he says x/y/z (usually something inane)

Thank god you posted your DH's opinion. The thread couldn't have continued otherwise.

WorraLiberty · 27/03/2013 16:11

"Walk a mile in their shoes"

No, actually I won't because...

A) I have unusually small feet

B) I don't want to actually have to suffer the same problem as every OP in order to answer them.

C) I'm incredibly lazy and would rather catch the bus if I'm going to have to travel a mile.

D) What if the 'shoes' happen to be Crocs???

YouTheCat · 27/03/2013 16:11

I've been wondering about the score thing. If you think someone is a troll, just report them. You don't have to tell the whole of MN in an 'ooooh I'm telling' way.

Nancy66 · 27/03/2013 16:12

I've also seen

"haven't you posted this before?"

..like there's a limit to how many times a person is allowed to post about a problem.

SneezingwakestheJesus · 27/03/2013 16:13

" End of!"

ICBINEG · 27/03/2013 16:13

When you say 'some people in group X do Y' and every MNer in group X turns up to say they don't....

Yes I know not all people in group X do Y, that's why I said some ya bunch of fecking idiots.
