To wish that if people don't like a thread topic, they should just move on to another?

[PiperChapstick]

I'm sick of when people post about a particular issue on MN, loads of people post saying "boring!", "sick of seeing these threads", "this has been done to death OP" and "can we have a seperate topic so we can hide this?"

FFS no one makes you read every thread, if you don't like it, move on! And it doesn't take a genius to work out that not every single MNer has read every thread that they have, and so for some it will be a new topic. Seriously, what's the point of making these 'contributions'?

Sorry, I'm very hungover moody today and need to vent.

People can post whatever they want (within guidelines) irrespective of whether it's a common topic.

I do wish that thread titles were a little clearer, sometimes.

I think sometimes people like to pile on with 'Not this again!' followed by several dozen faces to show that they are much betterer, longer- standing, been-there-done-it mn'ers than the OP.

And sometimes not. Sometimes it's genuinely a tiresome thread.

There's a topic that makes me roll my eyes a lot but I've never said so, never would. I just ignore it. Again.

Cat poo in the garden First?

I noticed fisting and did a double take. I always forget there's a sex topic. I decided not to go there.

The sexperts asked for a separate topic and they got it and everyone else hid it.

If you're not interested, and we all know what you're talking about, just leave the thread alone and go and contribute to 'AIBU, Oooo, I'm, a 48 year old man with a penis but I want to use the women's changing room when the 12 year old girls from the local school are co-incidentally getting changed there at the same time, and now terfy cunts horrible cis people want to try and stop me!! not fair, never fair!!

Ha, I'm off to get the law changed.

Not that again.

I get upset if I see a blue thread. They must be purple.

Yes Maryz and several posters swore blind that prams took precedent over wheelchairs

I have never ever seen any sort of debacle when using a bus. Nothing. I feel somehow cheated.

Agree

MN tends to give an unrealistic expectation of life in the UK sparkling. I have also had drama-free bus journeys, my neighbours are considerate parkers and next door has 4 cats who often come into our garden and have never left a single turd. Bastards

Who remembers the Month of the Wheelchair On Bus threads?

I remember those-both depressing (entitled people incapable of folding buggies) and encouraging (many people telling the entitled people they were totally unreasonable for not folding for a wheelchair).

Parent and child space threads seem to come in clusters too.

I am permanently disappointed Piper. My neighbour rings me up and asks if I want some home made cheesecake sending down. It arrives in a bowl with a spoon. So considerate and unthreadworthy.

Those bus threads were always peppered with melodrama - the OP would be sitting on a bus and a mum with devil horns would come on and when a man in a wheelchair tried to go in the space, devil mum would shout "nah baby's asleep innit" and punch wheelchair man in the face. Apparently the driver and other passengers said nothing (and when the OP is challenged on why she said nothing, it turns out she would have no tongue or something) and wheelchair man would have to sit in the hail and sleet for the next bus. Very bizarre series of threads

It is a bit depressing to read the same stuff again and again, particularly when it's spreading fear and hate about a minority group

I won't be drawn Sparkling, I won't be drawn

I think sometimes people like to pile on with 'Not this again!' followed by several dozen hmm faces to show that they are much betterer, longer- standing, been-there-done-it mn'ers than the OP.

This. It always ramps up. What usually happens is:

Poster 1: Not this again.
Poster 2: I couldn't give a shit about this.
Poster 3: I really couldn't give a shiny shit about this. Can we have a separate topic?
Poster 4: I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than talk about this again.
Poster 1 again: I'd rather shit in my hands and clap, bleach my eyeballs, drive a rusty stake through my heart than talk about this again. LOL.
Poster 3 again: I'd rather listen to Peter Andre's new album and then shit in my hands and clap.

And not one of them managing to see the hypocrisy of them saying the same old repetitive tedious sneering shtick. Over and over again. Like it hasn't been done before a million times.

When was all the bus stuff? Sounds riveting.

Kidnapped

Vashta if you RTFT you'd see that is not the case at all
