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!

"Is this a reverse AIBU?"

Smacks of only wanting to give an "accepted" opinion

CombineBananaFister · 27/03/2013 20:43

I also think we should lay off the Tarquins, when describing any 'sense of enitlement'/'private school'/helicopter parenting issues. Spare a thought for all those poor (actual) kids named Tarquin Grin

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 20:44

Don't post everything in AIBU then.

HTH.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 27/03/2013 20:46

(Sorry that sounded really stalker-esque, usual.... Grin)

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 20:49

s'ok I'm happy to be stalked Grin

I could live without the 'you're in denial' when the OP has stated that certain responses don't correspond to her experience of HER OWN LIFE and aren't helpful.

YouTheCat · 27/03/2013 20:52

Gregg's sausage rolls.

I like them too very much.

cestlesautres · 27/03/2013 21:10

We could link to this thread every time we see one of the tired old cliches.

cestlesautres · 27/03/2013 21:12

Then if they didn't scroll down to the offending phrase:

RTFT

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 21:14

AIBU is the a pile of wank TBH.

cestlesautres · 27/03/2013 21:18

Well, yes, there's that.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/03/2013 21:19

Usual Thanks

I love when people post in AIBU "you are so fucking rude, you sound lke a rude arsehole'. Err, pot, kettle

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 21:20

There are loads of other topics on MN. maybe you should all have a look about?

MarianneM · 27/03/2013 21:20

Good Evening usualsuspect,

I have sometimes thought you are Barbara Ellen, but I don't think she would have as much time to spend here as you.

You are almost like an AIBU random post generator.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/03/2013 21:22

You filthy beast Grin

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 21:23

Funny that, marienne.

Because I've not been on MN for a while.

Are you confusing me with someone else?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/03/2013 21:23

Leave usual alone Marianne

MarianneM · 27/03/2013 21:24

No usual

I would recognise that passive aggressive style anywhere Wink

MarianneM · 27/03/2013 21:25

I'll do what I like.

I'm already shitlisted.

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 21:25

There's an art to PA.

the Wink is a good start.

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 27/03/2013 21:26

Yy, the 'goats and flat screen tellys' crap that gets wheeled out time and again. About as funny as catshit in your soup.

And the 'grip' thing is for sheeples. It's all over MN like a bad case of herpes.

'Dons hard hat, gets popcorn' woman deserves the mythical block poster button.

TheBigJessie · 27/03/2013 21:26

"Pregnancy isn't an illness"

Invariably typed in response (when I've seen it) to a poster who has an illness caused by pregnancy. Pregnancy itself may not be an illness, but if you're hospitalised, you're definitely ill. It's not the place for pedantry about how "Pregnancy isn't an illness".

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 21:26

Mind you the Smile is even better.

LandofTute · 27/03/2013 21:26

That Biscuit thing is irritating. If you find the OP boring then just don't reply.
