Like those where the OP writes hardly anything and expects others to entertain them.

Now you go.

OP posts:

When the op doesn't come back Angry

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 28/12/2016 09:58

When the op types 'Discuss' at the end. It really annoys me.

Merrylegs · 28/12/2016 09:58

Nicely done op Grin
Except you should have said
Discuss.

Snap8TheCat · 28/12/2016 10:00

Mine are the replies which don't actually answer the OP. Like 'How tall is your 11year old boy?'

'My 10 year old girl is 135cm'

'Yeah. Great.'

beepbeeprichie · 28/12/2016 10:01

The am I pregnant ones. Just pee on a stick and be done with it woman!!

AntiQuitty · 28/12/2016 10:02

Haha! Funny OP!

AntiQuitty · 28/12/2016 10:03

Well, not like laughing funny, but sort of passing amusement.

SirChenjin · 28/12/2016 10:03

The 'Discuss' ones really piss me off. Nope, I won't jump to your command and discuss.

The 'why do so many women not identify as feminists' ones annoy me (if annoy is the right word), with the first couple of pages explaining why people might not identify with what has become a political movement inhabited by women with pretty robust views, and the subsequent eleventy billion pages explaining why anyone who questions is Just Plain Wrong (as well as ill informed and/or ignorant).

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 28/12/2016 10:04

The long ones where the op does use paragraphs.

Bluntness100 · 28/12/2016 10:05

Drip feeds....

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 28/12/2016 10:05

Damn it does should be doesn't

the ones where the op doesn't spell check before posting Xmas Blush

echt · 28/12/2016 10:05

Questions where you could just Google the answer. Lazy fecking glipes.

echt · 28/12/2016 10:06

And, Mumsnet is so bitchy these days.

JanisNedob · 28/12/2016 10:06

The 'hilarious' ones written by the baby

pinkieandperkie · 28/12/2016 10:07

Don't know why but I hate the what do you think of this name threads.

Middleoftheroad · 28/12/2016 10:07

Anything with Brexit, trans, Trump or entitled in. Avoid.....it will end in tears.

witchofzog · 28/12/2016 10:08

The "Guess what happenned today" thread with numerous guesses and a banal reply from the op 4 hours later which was NOT worth the hype. I haven't got time to play silly buggers. Just tell us now godammit 😂

iklboodolphRedNoseReindeer · 28/12/2016 10:08

The ones where posters don't read the thread.

Ideas for emergency lunch please - DH's family just arrived. I have basics in. NOBODY can eat fish. All deadly allergic.

Next poster: How about a lovely piece of salmon or a fish pie?

lightcola · 28/12/2016 10:08

"I'm a long time lurker, so I apologise if I haven't done this right..."

It's a forum; just post it. There is no right or wrong.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 28/12/2016 10:09

Grief threads where the OP is 'devastated' about a celeb dying and feels compelled to start a thread about their unparallelled (sp) non stop crying.

Sparklingbrook · 28/12/2016 10:10

The ones started by posters with those 'user12345678' type names.

echt · 28/12/2016 10:10

Whatever happened to....MNers of the past.

MN royalty fawnfest.

pictish · 28/12/2016 10:10

The ones bitching about dhs prioritising their mothers on Mothers Day because, "I'm a mother too!"
Yes but not his mother. Stop it.

echt · 28/12/2016 10:12

The ones moaning about the DH/DD, etc. shorthand used here.

If you can't be doing with it, go elsewhere or type it out in full.
