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

Now you go.

OP posts:

Her mother in law is Camilla. The Queen is her husband's grandmother.

limitedperiodonly · 30/12/2016 19:33

PosterObnoxious: well you shouldn't have had so many kids with a cheater really op! I don't know what you expect us to say.

I saw one of those today.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 30/12/2016 19:38

Oh yes, "why did you have children with this person?"

Pardon fucking me, my psychic abilities that usually tell me that someone will be very abusive in 3 years time were down the day we hitched

• disabled toilet / seats for disabled on trains and buses - it always ends up being a fight on who is the most Isabel's/whether that is a legitimate disability.

This completely.

RoboticSealpup · 30/12/2016 20:08

The ones that focus on one detail of one argument, when it's really clear that the OP has really serious relationship issues. E.g:

"Aibu for being upset that my DH stole my ice cream? When I confronted him he called me a whore and threw a bucket of ice water over my head. Did I over-react?"

pictish · 30/12/2016 20:13

bowchikkawowwow - professional victims.

OP: problem
MN: sensible and seemingly achievable solutions
OP: every obstruction imaginable
MN: ...
OP: ...
Single poster: Mildly questions obstruction
OP: You're all heartless bitches. Thanks for nothing. De-regging now.

WTF Camilla is dead Shock
I think the Queens coronation was the year after she ascended to the throne.

UnbornMortificadoAtChristmas · 30/12/2016 20:42

Being disablist for mentioning the inconveniences of being in a wheelchair. How dare wheelchair users not take hidden disabilities into account Hmm

Bitofacow · 30/12/2016 21:03

WTF it's Camilla who is dead!

Do I get a day off if Camilla is dead?

Who started that rumour?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/12/2016 21:11

I have just checked the news and it says nothing about any Royals dying.

QuinionsRainbow · 30/12/2016 21:13

The ones where the first respondent to OP seems to be in perpetual new thread tracking mode and chimes in something such as "I don't think I can answer your problem/complaint/issue/or whatever, but no doubt somebody who can will be along soon."

redshoeblueshoe · 30/12/2016 21:25

Bitofa - you started the Camilla is dead rumour - when you said Kate might be posting in AIBU about her dead Mil

Bitofacow · 30/12/2016 21:31

The ones where posters type crap and then forget what they said and then blame other people.

Those threads really annoy me.

flooeed · 30/12/2016 21:31

Any Aibu involving a dog.

The stupidest one I saw was a mner whose dog had separation anxiety and was barking whilst out in the school run. The neighbour was complaining. One person suggested the neighbour be invited to keep the dog company whilst mner was out. Wtf?

Anything to do with wanting puppies/kittens always ends badly

Poo. Dog poo, cat poo. Oh get a life.

Wookiecookies · 30/12/2016 21:54

Ones where someone in OPs life is behaving like an utter cunt for no reason such as an annoying neighbour, and posters start suggesting OP should, wine, dine, invite them in etc... basically, that OP should take responsibility for resolving the other persons cuntiness.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 30/12/2016 21:54

Camilla is not dead! There were rumours on twitter of a media blackout last night and this caused speculation about dead royals.

See this is how rumours get started. In 2 years time we're gonna see on those 'celeb gossip' threads about how it's common MN knowledge tbat camilla died at Xmas 2016 and a lookalike has been used since. A bit like the actor of Titanic proportions who allegedly likes to beat up hookers in hotel rooms - this (utter bollocks) is only ever spouted on MN, I honestly reckon it began with someone knowing a cleaner who tripped and fell on his suitcase in his hotel room and got more ridiculous from there

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 30/12/2016 21:56

Oh yes floo the PFD (precious first dog) posters, the moment someone says about a dog phobia (which is very legitimate fear to have that makes life difficult for many) half the MNers start doing eye rolls and saying "what a drama queen, my dog is very well behaved". Somehow no other type of anxiety is OK to ridicule

iklboodolphRedNoseReindeer · 30/12/2016 22:36

Argh. The 'could your 11 year old do this' that gets answered with 'Pish, tosh. The eggs in my ovaries and my husband's unspent sperm could do this ages ago. Is there something about your DC ' wankery.

redshoeblueshoe · 30/12/2016 23:04

Right I need to sort out these Royal death rumours
Bitofa - suggested Kate might go on AIBU about her dead MIL
I then suggested Camilla might be dead

spoiler alert Kate's Mil is actually dead

Bitofacow · 30/12/2016 23:12

I hate gossip.

Threads that promote gossip, unsubstantiated rumours and dogs. They should be banned.

On a serious note are we getting a day off for the true life fact that Camilla has carked it.

And the really big actor that would never be in a hotel room with anyone let alone a hooker - he had sex with the cleaner - is that right?

redshoeblueshoe · 30/12/2016 23:21

I hate that too I never waste days reading gossip threads
I reckon no day for Camilla
Half a day in the pub for Charles
And 2 days serious drinking mourning for the Queen

Wookiecookies · 31/12/2016 00:10

Pedantic thread derailing. I dont think that some PPs realise care that many post from a phone, with predictive text and tiny touchscreen keyboards.
Pedants corner is that way >> fuck off there.

CaraAspen · 31/12/2016 00:27

I use my iPhone for Mumsnet and pretty much everything really.

Wookiecookies · 31/12/2016 00:35

Did you get lost on the way to Pedants Corner?

BillSykesDog · 31/12/2016 00:51

Camilla's dead?
