This morning, I got out of the shower and banged my head on ceiling. So as not to drip feed, our house has sloped ceilings upstairs and it was the corner bit between the ceiling and the apex window. Now, the corner has been there for the last 14 years that I have lived here and I have had a shower every day but who was being unreasonable? The full extent of the damage to my head has not yet been assessed but WIBU to sue and who could I sue if I did?

Now that I have your attention, please share your most ridiculous AIBUs so I can have a good giggle. Grin

I want to sue my mum due to the low beams in the loft room.

I keep cracking my head off them. I see light flashes and birds like a cartoon when it happens.

Everyone has the beam fear

There is a shelf with a corner that sticks out above the work surface at my work. It has been there, in the same place, for the last 6 months that I have worked there.

One day I head butted it really hard and cut my eyebrow Sad

Wibu to take the sodding shelf down so no one else is at risk from this dangerous bit of wall furniture?

I want to sue the coffee table. 15years in the same position. I kick it about once a year. It's not even in the way.

Yeah I'm going to sue Angry

Oh and at work under the desk. Bloody pipes that stick out. Banging shins and knees all the fucking time!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 11/08/2016 09:13

My toes are a magnet for table corners and door frames. WIBU to just cut the damn things off?

I'd like to sue all doorways. About 1 in 4 times I go through a doorway I bash my shoulder. It's definitely not that I have poor coordination.

I opened the freezer yesterday and a frozen 2 pint bottle of milk fell out and dropped on my head. It hurt a lot. I might sue myself

Aibu to sue my neighbour? I have the builders in and, fair enough, he is letting me park on his drive for 7 or 8 weeks. BUT - he never told me about the lamppost just next to it, the one which lights my front garden. Claims it has always been there. I have lived in my house for 16 years and never hit it before, As a consequence I head butted it with my car, causing £350 worth of damage. Should I just ask for the money or is it straight to court?
Actually wondering if I should sure the council as well for not mentioning it to me. What do I pay my council tax for?

Aibu to sue Dh?
He snores. And thrashes around so I can't get comfy.

OreosAreTasty · 11/08/2016 09:16

Oh and Aibu to sue the dryer?
It's very loud and in my living room until I sort out my 2nd dining room (first world problem) so I can never hear the fecking tv.
And Aibu to sue my mum because she hit me with a tea towel while trying to swat a mosquito

My teenage DD sprays her hair straightening serum stuff and it makes her laminated bedroom floor like an ice rink. She says I shouldn't be in her bedroom, but can I sue her anyway?

allthebestplease · 11/08/2016 09:18

I sliced my finger open on a tin of jalapeño stuffed olives last night. I fully intend to sue myself over my clumsiness.

Lolimax · 11/08/2016 09:21

Can I sue both my Zumba and Latino fit instructors? They forced me to push myself this week and now I'm hobbling like I've poo'd myself. Very attractive. I'll get thousands I'm sure.

I would like to sue my dog for filling my home with his noxious farts. He has no income though, so I might need plan b.

I chose to buy a bed frame with a curved head and foot. After 5 years I have permanent bruising/visible veins on my thighs from walking into the sticky out bit on the way to the ensuite nearly every night. As soon as the technology is available to go back I am going to sue my former self.

I ate too much for too long and am now overweight - who do I sue?

I gave it an evil look. (The fridge freezer not the baby, although hope fridge freezer doesnt stop working now...might have to make friends Gain with it son) 😳🙄😏🤗

AskBasil · 11/08/2016 09:26

I'm suing the kids over their continued habits of putting things on the floor instead of in the places they belong, causing me stubbed toes, broken things and general fury.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 11/08/2016 09:27

AIBU to sue all the door handles in my flat? The sleeves of my kimono keep catching on them. Ok, maybe I could wear something else but I don't see why I should have to. What. Would really like is to go NC with them, but then they probably won't open or shut any more - they're very petty like that.

I started with what must be the 20th UTI of the year. can I sue my bladder under the sales of goods and services act 1982?

I am going to sue my employer, I have to actually show up, on time, and do some work for my salary - the bastards, I should be able to stay at home doing as I please and they still pay me, because I would quite like to retire but cannot afford it, so it is all their fault expecting me to so actual work for my pay.
