Goady fuckers on threads...

Aibu to think there's always one?

Constructive criticism, great, advice, brilliant, strong opinions, also great for getting a new perspective on situations.... But, goady fuckers, a different kettle of fish entirely, example...

Op - DD's rabbit died last week, she's very sad.

I'm not sure whether to get another rabbit when she's ready or perhaps a Guinea pig instead?

Goader - It sounds to me like you're not particularly good at looking after animals. In fact I'd say you probably shouldn't be allowed to have pets. I feel sorry for your DD.

Hmmm. Keeping pets is totalitarian. I think you have brought your child up to believe it is her right to exert power over animals.

eat the fucking rabbit!

and get chickens next time - they're muchbetter - they actually earn their keep

nickelbabe · 21/03/2016 23:02

i did get goaded earlier because i swore and used boldy caps.

I only used caps because i'd spent too long on FB where there is no bold.
but then i did both at the same time.
both
at the same TIME

apparently, it wasn't like me at all to go off on one like that.
but it is like me! Shock
i'm always going off on one like that on MN! Confused

Lambrini · 21/03/2016 23:02

Sorry to hijack the thread OP but there's a real life goady thread going on right now about Eddie Izzard.

Lambrini · 21/03/2016 23:07

Haha, was gleefully surprised 'Lambrini' was available, would have preferred 'Babycham' though....

I've been on MN forever and have seen some shocking flamings in my time. The most Shock was the one where a woman was asking if SWBU to ask her neighbour not to constantly peer over her 8ft fence as her and her family sunbathed, and she got told that she should be nicer, take him out for days out, basically include him in the family etc. Was a load of shit.

More recently a poster who is a learner driver slammed on her brakes after her DH shouted 'stop!' (They were about to hit a kerb) and the woman behind her crashed into her. She felt bad and the question was "if you were me would you take the blame?". Of course, normal people said "no, she didn't leave enough room, she was in the wrong according to Highway Code". One MNer said "yes I would take the blame because I'm not an arsehole" Hmm
It's like competitive-righteousness round here sometimes

And yes there are those who pick up on irrelevant points. For example-
OP: My 10yo was walking to school and got so badly beaten up my bullies that he's in hospital. I feel awful and I'm so angry, what should I do about bullies?
Some twat: Why was a 10yo walking to school on his own? My son is 17 and I still walk him to school

bolleauxnouveau · 21/03/2016 23:08

Yabu. That is all. Xxx

thecatfromjapan · 21/03/2016 23:10

Having been on the Retail Hell thread, I've been visualising a Venn diagram. One domain/set is 'difficult customers', the other is 'Giady Fuckers'. I think the intersection might be quite well-populated.

I think some GF's are people who have stuff going on in RL that has made them a bit edgy, and they take the persecution complex/ unleashed aggression to AIBU mumsnet.

Lambrini · 21/03/2016 23:11

Yes, total goadfest on the Eddie Izzard thread, incredible Grin

thecatfromjapan · 21/03/2016 23:12

People are managing to be goady about Eddie Izard? How?

Cutecat78 · 21/03/2016 23:13

People are ridiculous- they tell you to LTB, move, give up your job, take on more kids you have no room for.

People are twats.

SilverBirchWithout · 21/03/2016 23:13

What was your DP doing when the rabbit died? Does he usually leave you to deal with the difficult things involving the DC? Or are you just conveniently forgetting he dug the grave?

bumbleymummy · 21/03/2016 23:14

I agree with usual.

I also think the level of goady-fuckerness is measured by how much you disagree with that person's opinion. If you agree with them then they are just 'telling it like it is'. If you disagree with them then they are a goady fucker and completely derailing the thread.

kittybiscuits · 21/03/2016 23:16

Not getting involved here, except to say OP - your syntax is all wrong. HTH.

katemiddletonsothermum · 21/03/2016 23:19

fffiiiiirrrrkin hell silverbirch - Are you saying that DP MURDERED the rabbit? she should definitely LTB for that one.

Chippednailvarnish · 21/03/2016 23:20

I'm loving the Eddie Izzard threadGrin

My sarcastic comparison between him and kim kardashewhateverthefuckhernameis went so well

PiperChapstick · 21/03/2016 23:20

Oh and not forgetting a very recent on where the OP had had an affair, got pregnant by her lover and started afresh with her teenage daughter and the new baby and lover all living together. The teenage daughter had depression due to the OP and her DH splitting, and the OP wanted to know ISWBU to have another baby as she was getting on a bit and thought it would be her last chance.

Now, she did come across remarkably selfish, and deserved most of the comments, but a good proportion of GF thought they were Jeremy bloody Kyle. She was told she was a terrible mum, should have had an abortion, that her DD would be better in foster care!!!!! It was fucking horrendous car crash of a thread

PiperChapstick · 21/03/2016 23:22

Oh and OP YABVVVU to consider a new pet when there's so many rescue Guinea pigs. Only shallow cunts would even consider buying a New Guinea pig. What do you do when your children get older? Will you dump them for newer models? HMM? WELL WILL YOU?!
