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

Same here, I do feel very, very excited for the poster when their little squinter is confirmed to be a BFP by all the responses

I remember how excited and sick I felt when I had squinters and I think it's lovely to think of others having those feelings too

I like 'Wendy' type AIBU's, gossipy ones about Royals, property threads, private schools, government and threads about places/towns.

Really dislike 'am I pregnant?, pro golliwog stuff, ff/bf and anti dogs or cats type threads.

Like- which house shall we buy? And other property porn, style and beauty,
some baby names threads, dogs, music, savings and finance.

Dislike - pregnancy, zombie threads, cars.

What does BFP mean?

Big Fat Positive : positive pregnancy test.

As opposed to BFN : big fat negative

Thanks I've wondered for a while what it could mean

There was a thread recently about a woman in New Zealand who loved cheese. She had invited her daughter's mate to stay and had various tarifs for ber :B&B, DBB or just bed. She couldn't figure out how much to charge her.

That's my favourite kind of thread.

Oh yes New Zealanders eating cheese threads are awesome but there are so many of them

I love a great fart thread.

I love threads where people are seething, have the rage, are raging and beyond furious about banal twattery.

Most of the rest I just take or leave.

I like baby names, can you see a line (pregnancy), Moral dilemmas, toddler behaviour and my antenatal group thread. I also like the funny ones and mumsnet classics. Aibu can be interesting too.

I pass on feminist, trans, gender neutral discussions, religion, sex, relationships and breast feeding or weaning debates. In fact I pass on a lot of threads if the title looks boring! Sometimes I read a whole 2-3 page thread and can't be bothered to reply, especially if my opinion is the same as someone else's.

I love credit crunch threads (always lurk, never contribute as I am a spend thrift but I aspire!), love make up threads, enjoy ghost story threads, cruise the sex topic to see what's up and dip a toe in AIBU am cautious...

Hate..Name your fave MNer...as I never appear, stay out of trans stuff, avoid Feminsin usually, am bored by parking and baby led weaning crap.

I do love the absolutely ridiculous AIBUs. Like the poster who wouldn't get out the car on ner drive, after arriving at her house with about 4 carloads of her family. She was waiting to see how long it took till about 28 of her family noticed she wasn't inside the house. I think she was MNing from the car! Last I heard she'd been there about an hour and a halfand was furious!

Anyone who is verrrry precious and posting and it's a happy day for me

Although there is one drawback - I can't post because I will be rude. Luckily, usually someone does it for me!

I remember car lady. Did they not lock her in?

*snigger

Oh I don't know really. Good question. I go for more threads that. I don't find interesting, but interesting is the wrong word because. It's about someone's life.
Or if it's an upsetting thread. Ill often open it, and hand hold, and offer words of comfort even if. I can't advise. I have a strict policy, both online and ITL, that.. I will not advise on anything. If I don't know enough about it.
I especially like the S&B and Baby names.
AIBU is good, but it often turns into a circus .

I think she could get out by climbing over the seats Lois but she wouldn't get out. She waited to see if anyone would notice she wasn't there. and they didn't

(She probably was upset, but it just tickled my humour to think of everyone having a great time and not noticing. And I couldn't see why she didn't get out!)

That's right! It was very 'nobody loves me, I will go and eat worms'. I think she got told to woman up. I wonder if she's still there....

It was the mental picture that did it for me

cruise the sex threads to see whats up

I avoid anything about animal cruelty - I simply can't bear reading it
Also the 'I donated everything I own to charity and I help little old ladies in my spare time AIBU' bollocks. Like someone up there said - clean laundry/public/stop it now!
Can't be arsed with BF/FF - fuck's sake, just do what you do!
Terrible neighbour threads bore me to buggery - I'm sure a lot of them are made up
Any thread that has 'Work of Complete Fiction' stamped all over it
Tories are the Anti-Christ Scum of the World threads - straight into 'hide'
Anything with 'Klaxon' in the title line - I like a bodily function as much as the next woman but pus is just pukeworthy!

But........... love the bodily function threads - especially if there's someone on there who is utterly revolted with it all
Quite like the cleaning/housekeeping/organising threads because my head gets some good exercise from the constant 'side to side with disbelief' action!
A good bridezilla thread is hard to beat
Anything irreverant and funny is always good

I do hide quite a lot of threads - mostly to save myself posting something I'll regret. Bad grammar, terrible spelling, 'myself/yourself' - straight in the bin.

And if there's a thread I've not opened at all due to lack of interest but next time I look it's got eleventy million posts on it - I hide those!

I hate the "I'm still breastfeeding my 4 year old 3 times a night and can't get her to sleep in her own bed ever and I think my husband is being totally unreasonable when he suggests it might be time to stop as my child is more important than our marriage" threads.

Or words to that effect.

MrsJayy, Where else but sex would one understand 'fiat' and 'shovel eyes'???

Please tell me what 'Shovel eyes' are.....

I like the bonkers ones! It's reassuring to realise that we're all as hopelessly fallible as one another

Oh god, I forgot all about lady in the car thread
Just brilliant, thinking of her sulking like a petulant child, they were all inside having a cup of tea while she was growing more furious as time went on!
