AIBU: The threads that annoy you most

[user1471517900]

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

Now you go.

You're buying a handbag??? When people in Aleppo are dying??

You seem very

I'm very entitled and off to buy a handbag. I only have £30000 to spend

£30000 would save Aleppo, you know

Oh I'm so glad others are finding everything being traced back to Aleppo annoying

I think for me (though feeling rather flippant now Aleppo has been mentioned) its threads that as questions sonething about X and people post saying how they don't do X.

Such as:

'What's you favourite gin?' and a poster replied 'I don't have one as I don't drink' or

'What chocolates are the nicest?' and there's a reply 'I haven't touch anything containing sugar for 4 years so I can't tell you'

pier reviewed articles

Hmmm. Good idea. My next article review will be done on a pier. Preferably with a strong drink.

There was a recent thread where every time someone said "Feminism is important because.." there was a poster saying "THE MDDLE EAST"
increasingly shoutily.

It was bizarre.

People asking for links to things which have been widely reported as headline news from multiple sources and are widely available via google...

Lweji you're going to sit on a colleague while having a drink????!!!!!????

Are you doing it in Aleppo?

Boundaries

Was that about the women fighting ISIS?
Or just the overall condition of women in the Middle East?

Pier, not peer.

And I'm not even apologising for pointing it out.

Followed by an AIBU about your greedy au pair demanding a pay rise from £20 a week for 75 hours of work.

Aleppo is landlocked, so, no.

Do they sell handbags on the peer?

Lweji

It wasn't terribly clear. Although it ended up with statements like "if you haven't used a machine gun to fight for your rights you should shut up".

OMG we are turning this into an in joke clique thread.

The shark has been jumped and we have become what we despise.

Oh well

Who knows?

Sometimes it feels like handbags at dawn, this peer review business.

The cycling ones. Most of the time it is glaringly obvious the cyclist was wrong and it's just an excuse to have a moan about cycling in general.

Bitofacow Nah, it doesn't count because the joke is explained in the thread. It's the ones where people post about off-thread jokes so half the posters are bewildered and the other half smug that they know what's going on.

"if you haven't used a machine gun to fight for your rights you should shut up".

Ah, yes, I know her well.
We did lock handbags at dawn, dusk, and in between.

Don't bring a handbag to a machine gun fight, Lweji

The Alexa bag "wanters" make me laugh: bet not one of them looks like Alexa! Haha

When this thread dies (as it will soon) I must remember to post on it in a month's time to add the zombieness to it.

Not sure it's been said, but anyone who uses the "MN mantra of no is a complete sentence" or something like that annoys me too

Ooh I have another!

"Today is the first anniversary of my husband's death, I'll be letting off balloons with the children in the park, their idea bless them, any advice on where I can get helium last minute on a Sunday?"

27 posts of - "OP do you REALISE that the world is running out of helium because of selfish fuckers like you, what is the point, oh and BTW you'll almost certainly murder a defenceless animal when the balloon deflates and falls into the woods. I hope you can live with that? I understand your three young children are grieving it maybe it's time you all cared about the environment!!"

I wish I was exaggerating. I once posted on a "what are you doing this Father's Day" thread saying it'll be my 3rd without my beloved dad and I wanted to tell DD all about him so we were going to write a note on a balloon and let it off and remember him. I got totally lambasted and posters demanded I buy fucking rice paper and make a boat out of it to put in the local river. That was when it was mentioned that posters had been flamed for this before (including a very real story of a widow and her children). It's the only time I've been genuinely upset by responses

I did the helium balloon thing and don't feel bad.

Had some lovely PMs from non-twats though after that experience!

Dog threads.

So predictable.
