To really want to be the subject of an AIBU?

[gertrudetrain]

I have found myself clicking on threads where the OP is asking if their friend/ acquaintance/ sister is BU and secretly hoping I will be the one they are talking about. The thought of someone being rattled by me and I just dilly dally along being clueless and not realising really appeals.I think I must be a bit bored.

You'd get a measure of how a majority judge you AND get a RL view into the rabbit hole. AIBU? Has anyone recognised themselves or their actions in AIBU?

Have often wondered this...

Every time a thread on AIBU is called something like "To be pissed off with this comment from DS's teacher?", I open it with trepidation, worried that it's me.

I've had the odd scout on Gransnet to see whether I'm the subject of any bad DIL threads

What would you do though OP?! I like I think I'd read it and store the information for later use, or change my words or actions according to the outcome. However I suspect I'd go batshit crazy and post repeatedly until I ended up being banned.

Its probably my worst nightmare.

But someone has posted a thread tonight that I actually could have written myself. The circumstances and details are all exactly the same its actually freaking me out a lot. I'm starting to suspect myself of sleep mumsnetting.

It's happened a few times before hasn't it? Where someone's recognised someone else because their AIBU was about them. I think one of the first threads I ever read on mumsnet was one of those. Was awfully dramatic.

Me too foureyes! I look between my fingers

I think I'd REALLY enjoy playing the 'I know you, I know you know me, I know this is about me.' I might try to try mess with whoever posted about me (for 5 mins) but then I'd have to just blurt out that they are posting about me. I couldn't help it.

Could imagine the banning scenario orange

I really want someone to find one of my shopping lists, post it on here then analyse me. I'm always tempted to leave one behind in a shopping trolley but then I feel guilty about littering.

I work on the principle that, statistically speaking, it's highly unlikely that I'd be the subject of an AIBU.

If i was though I wonder what it would be about?

"AIBU to think that my colleague is an argumentative caah who just disagrees with me because she can??" - I actually do that.

Disagree with people purely because they irritate me - not necessarily because I actually disagree with them

I always wonder when I first see a thread starting with 'or was this woman totally bonkers??' Only a part of me is relieved when it turns out not to be about any of my bonkers antics! One day maybe!

I'm ALWAYS thinking the SIL threads are me (I have an eclectic bunch of SIL) and sometimes my heart skips a beat when a man posts an AIBU about his wife.

(NOT in a good way, in a shit what have I done way!)

Salmo unfortunately I have this trait too my boss called me adversarial in my appraisal so I argued back that I am not.

I left a shopping list in a basket the other day with my Gary Barlow presale code at the top and then list below. Was hoping someone would think it was a secret code they needed to crack! I'd already used the code so no good to steal

Yay to "adversarial" - that's me with people who grind my gears!

I can't stop myself - it's like a little devil on my shoulder

YY - not "yay"

Defiantly not 'yay' that will be going on the phrases I hate thread...

I've looked to see if i can see one about me written by a former friend. She was always opening into forums when i never used to be and i pissed her off big time! Not that she was justified in being pissed off but because of her weird view of things type pissed off.

Can't find one though [drums fingers]
