Ok, so it's not a big thing, but it gets my goat when people put non AIBUs in AIBU either because they are lazy to find the topic (is Chat really that hard) or to get extra traffic. To me, it's a bit like queue-jumping, which is just not British.

It's also annoying for those of us who have hidden certain topics from active convos, so you'll suddenly find something like "AIBU to ask you for camping tips?" or "AIBU to think baby-led weaning is the business?" when you've hidden those topics.

Every so often, I'll report to MNHQ. Sometimes, they'll move the thread and sometimes they'll reply that, yes, I'm right, but they don't want to be too heavy-handed and they'll leave it.

This irritates me too.
There's a huge difference between AIBU and Chat. The attitude and atmosphere is immensely different.

Can't stand threads like "AIBU to ask you...."

Yes. YABU because this is NOT THE RIGHT BOARD Angry

This thread is bonkers. That's all I have to say on the matter.

Anyway, as a few posters have pointed out that I have no life, I just thought I'd let you know that I am logging off, going out and will be imbibing Wine. If you could just clear up the boards while I'm out, I would be most grateful. Ta. Smile

Worthwhile contribution there, wholeofthespoon.

What I really think hq need to do is to rename AIBU Petty Gripes.

Instead they seem to be tacitly supporting the whole aibu culture on here. Tis odd but probably lucrative.

I have no life, and will be staying in. So if I can be arsed, I'll be wandering around telling people how wrong they are.
Do I get my Little Miss Popular sash now or later?

A sash, you say?

Do you have to wear a bathing suit with it?

Thanks funny hope they help...

grocklebox · 16/05/2014 19:18

A bathing suit? That would work, since a pic of me in a bathing suit would make pretty much everyone run screaming from aibu.
I was thinking a twinset and pearls (that I could clutch) actually.

YANBU. I come here for a good bunfight Grin Or at least some thought provoking debate. I do not want to wade through a whole lot of "just posting for traffic but DD has chicken pox so AIBU to take her to the GP?"

I sometimes wonder if people don't actually know Chat exists. It just doesn't have the sex appeal of AIBU!
