Let's solve most of AIBU

[beefthief]

Situation 1) A mum / a friend / a person you saw in the street is doing things in a way that you wouldn't. Their actions have no bearing on your life.

Ignore it and move on with your life, don't waste precious hours worrying about it.

Situation 2) Your normally reasonable other half has been doing something you don't like.

Decide if you can live with it, and if you can't, talk to him politely and like an adult, and work with them to resolve it.

Honestly, so many threads here would be so much easier if people weren't getting so worked up over the trivial annoyances that make up part of life. Not being so bloody nosy would also help

I said it to DH. Even saying 'Am I being unreasonable' out loud makes you sound like an idiot.

Aye a complete tool

Me and my Dsis frequently say "YABU" to each other Mrsjayy my Dsis isn't even a mnetter, she just likes me telling her about various threads so is down with the lingo, as it were!

down with the lingo .

You were banned Maryz what did you do ? Were you unreasonable

Owl you seem literally incapable of understanding that people can like something in the main, but have suggestions for how it could be even better. You seem like one of those "if you don't agree with everything, leave the country" types.

How dull and unloved the world would be if we all abandoned everything at the first sight of imperfection.

Oh my God, it's the total opposite surely! If people enjoy it let them enjoy it is what I'm saying!

Lolling so much at me being a leave the country type!

The way to improve something is not to moan between yourselves, you need to mobilize action. I've no issue with people trying to improve things. I've got issue with the way so many people moan and then take no action.

Mobilizing action to change AIBU, Owlina? Wow, I'm too busy watching paint dry. But talking about it on AIBU has changed my view on it somewhat and I no longer fall into every trap and only join petty gripes if I think they sound fun or unhinged or on the rare occasion they really resonate.

What I don't understand is people repeatedly posting in AIBU to tell the OP they are a goady fucker when in fact they are the ones doing the goading with all the PA "are you alright OP [head tilt] hth" shite.

No matter how often the OP says, "yeah, you've made your point, hide the thread if it bothers you so much" they continue to poke and poke till the whole thing turns into a nasty bunfight and gets zapped.

It happened to my thread last night and over the last couple of weeks AIBU has been hijacked by frothing berserkers clinging onto a spurious point like a dog with chewing gum.

Beats me how they can be bothered to be bothered.

I thought this thread was 'mobilising action'. After all we are solving most of AIBU right here, right now. Rock on.

MNHQ decide who is or isn't a GF. A big proportion of threads started in AIBU are not there because the OP wanted advice that's for sure. Lots want a bunfight.

Slowly beginning to recognise posters names. I have a mental list of who I think are GFs. I should spend less time on mn, this can't be healthy. When a couple of them pop in, I know a thread is doomed.

I've got an amazing insight into how AIBU and probably other internet forum things work. Sit tight because for a few people this is going to blow your minds Ok...?
Different people, with different experiences, and different understanding of the forum, with different expectations, post for different reasons at different times. If someone posts something you think is in the wrong area, irrelevant, dumb, pointless, been covered a million times, it's probably because they are different to you and have not been sitting here for years, reading the exact same threads you have read. They don't remember that this was "so done to death" last month. They don't care that you think it's "boring and pointless" theybwant to ask their question not provide you with entertainment.

But usually the question is a bit Tired.

Soarklingbrook .... The irony!

People put on AIBU to get the traffic- often it is not the best place.

I always feel sorry for new posters who are very naive and haven't read enough AIBU to know what they are letting themselves in for.

That's my face when reading AIBU Tired.

I agree Mehitabel. there should be a brief induction course with a multiple choice test at the end.

I forgot what I was going to say.

If more people forgot what they wanted to say before posting in AIBU that would improve things no end.

Particularly if they posted to say so.
Very interesting threads they'd be.
