to compile a list of pointless/annoying AIBU responses for MNHQ to outlaw?

[ICBINEG]

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!

But, but, but

Isnt AIBU meant to be a bunfight? If OPs are really pouring their souls out should they not choose a less aggressive robust part of MN?

I think you need to get a grip OP.

worra

eggs I think technically it is not a fight club.

Anyway I don't mind people getting stuck in...just be a bit original...or at least bring some new information...or god forbid some actual relevant information...

It's surely not too much to ask....

Worra, I also have very small feet. Is there a clique for this or other area of MN?

Also 'this should be in...' (usually relationships or SN).

"Here, have my very first "

nancy yes also the "this topic has been done".

Like when a new poster turns up and asks what people think of BF secondary school children and everyone is just

nooooooo what have you done? You've broken the internet!

If you don't want to have the same debate again then simply fuck off to another thread.

Actually if you mentally edit peoples comments to substitute tiger for either grips or biscuits then the whole experience is enhanced substantially.

Have my first TIGER.

"Do fuck off, there's a dear."

"Off you fuck!"

God, yes, the "Have my very first " Anyone who can't avoid cliches like that should be shot.

And the same goes for ""

Oh, MarianneM, absolutely. Plus all the tired acronyms. ODFOD. ODFODXYZ. So clever. So hilarious. Please

MarianneM
I think we should allow those phrases to be held in reserve for use in a pompous flounce situation.

e.g. You all failed to agree with my world view so you are all a bunch of dried up misandrist harpies etc

"I just can't bring myself to care."

(why are you posting then?)

Can we have did you mean to be so rude. Worse comeback EVER.

""

(I really needed to know that!)

'Either you are being disingenuous, or you simply do not remotely understand what the thread is about'.

I suppose the thing about and its ilk is that it's funny the first time it's used. After that, it's really, really tired.

Any post that begins "It has to be said","Someone has to say this" or any variation on this tedious phrase should be deleted.

Also, any comment where you can visualise the poster doing a tinkly laugh a la Margot from the good life after they've finished typing.

'You sound slightly weird tbh'

'Can you actually read????'

I take that as a compliment.

"Why are you posting about this now? It's still three minutes to Christmas/Easter/The End Of The World, that's far too soon to be talking about it!"

I have asked if someone's posted about something before, but only because I have these vague recollections of threads that either really happened or I made up and sometimes I'm just not sure.

"Welcome to Mumsnet" always stands out to me. I mean, I know why people are posting it and what they really mean by it, but how do they know it's someone's first post so they can ''welcome'' them?

Oh, yes, and "Interesting first post, OP". There is such a thing as a name-change option.

Popcorn anyone?

No thanks.
