To ask you for your favourite and worst topics...

[Writerwannabe83]

Which threads get you hooked?

Which threads do you rush to hide because you feel the rage when you read them??

I love a good wedding thread and the 'joint finances' threads

I have to hide the threads about SAHP housework roles and also the BF/FF threads. I also hide a lot of the MIL threads too actually

Isn't Baby Names full of trolls? I find it all a bit odd, then someone says 'sibset' or 'what is XYZ's sister called' and I just think WTF. All the matchy names stuff.

I agree AIBU is just used for everything. I blame Penis Beaker.

Do it Lois

How can you troll baby names?

It's a bit subtle. Register with MN, go to Baby Names and give a few random/boring opinions. Then go to AIBU and start trolly thread.
Think it gives the illusion of not being a brand new poster.

sparkling You seem to know a lot about it hmmm

How very dare you Lois

Sparkling does indeed.

Bullies!

Sparkling you're so right about trolling in the baby name board.

Those posters that have 5 girls and are having a boy that go on to give their DDs names are very fishy. They usually have a number in their username too.

Love:

Baby name threads, the more bonkers and judgemental the better

Crazy work colleague/family member/wedding unreasonableness

Hate:

School gate, BF/FF, and anything juicy where the OP fails to update

LOVE flouncers corner

Do folk really flounce proper leaving speeches and stuff

Love a good cat poo thread.
Love a totally aibu OP where all the posters tell the OP they are being unreasonable, but they just wont accept it.
enjoy the funny aibu's
love reading a rich person aibu thread, jast to see 'ow the avva rarf live.

Cat poo threads always bring out the weirdos.

Flouncers corner is full of attention seeking nobodies

I like the book ones, I've read some great books thanks to other posters.
Also like the colleague ones, what you find irritating, etc, they can be funny.
I like nostalgia ones, eg 90s music.

I dislike the dieting ones, I can't be doing with all the protein/carbohydrate pseudo science.
Feminism and politics put me off too. There are some interesting topics but it always seems to end up with people patronising each other.

I love any Costa Coffee /Nero threads about people sitting before buying.

What did you eat today threads? Love those.

Any weight loss thread.

Any spooky stories, unbelievable ones. Also the recent what happened at my school thread. Also like hearing about people's jobs, family history etc. Fascinating.

Any DH being a dick thread, like those.

MIL/SIL threads. Like.

Also, I've slept with my boss /friend etc, like those.

BF/FF threads I avoid. School gate too. And Facebook ones, ugh. Pointless.

Also anything with no paragraphs.

Bridezilla I avoid too.

Dick thread, ha, head!

I like in no particular order...
Almost anything in small pets and arts and crafts.
Questions about maths.
Questions about science (especially those where random nonsense gets debunked, eg oil pulling).
Funny threads-there have been some excellent ones lately. Off the top of my head I loved the ugly clarks sock boot thread, the one with the daughter's poo emoji Easter egg and boaty McBoatface

Pictures of people's pets, craft, cakes, living room etc...
Sharing recipes or meal planning threads
A good parking or wedding thread

I dislike...
Anti vaccination threads
Hit and runs (one op post on something controversial and disappearing act)
Long running threads I don't understand
Am I pregnant threads (do a bloody test!)

God I hate the "AIBU to ask you if you think I might be pregnant?" threads!!! What response so they expect?

I actually saw a response along the lines of "urinate on your computer screen and we'll tell you if we see a line"

Oh that response is fantastic writer.

I never really understand the 'can you see a line' ones. I am squinting at the screen seeing nowt while everyone is all 'congratulations!'

Or the ones where there is SO obviously a line and the OP is still asking the question under the guise of them not being sure if they're imagining it.....

attention seeking much

I do get quite excited when i can actually see the line.

No MN in 1999 so didn't get to wave my wee about on the internet.
