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.

More a comment than a thread but it irritates me beyond words when people write:

His sounds very familiar. Have you written about this before?

I find it hard to believe you aren't aware of (insert knowledge) considering you claim to be (insert job/skill/qualification here)

Just report the thread if you think it's a duplicate or a lie. Don't be so passive aggressive and make yourself look like a stalker in the process.

Yet another: 'bwah the Daily Mail are stealing our threads. MNHQ make them stop now.' has popped up.

What kind of dope publishes on an public internet forum, accessible to anyone in the world and then acts surprised when it can be accessed and commented on?

Been quite a few "shall I take DH/DC/myself to A&E/GP?" lately

Why the hell are they asking randoms on the internet? Call 111 FFS. How long do they wait for replies before deciding if it's an accident or emergency?

111 always say to take to A and E anyway. It's a silly service really.

The AIBUs where people don't actually have a dilemma and just want traffic on another question!

The sheer nastiness on the feminism discussion threads. I genuinely want to know more. But people seem to go on there to prove their superiority. I don't think it helps.

Couldn't have put it better myself, derxa. There are self-declared feminism experts on MN who love telling people what to think. They act as though we are an amusing little experiment in their petri dish.

I feel some posters on feminism boards dont like women it's very odd, we all dont live our lives reading feminist theroy doesn't mean im not a feminist i feel patronised if i go on a femchat i am sure some of them are thinking there there dear

They act as though we are an amusing little experiment in their petri dish.
When they 'win' the argument by bashing people over the head do they really think it's a victory for feminism?

As I've said on threads before, I've been belittled and patronised and put down more by women claiming to be feminists than I ever have by men.

Apparently that's just because I am too thick to notice the ways in which men are evil and are dictating how I should live my life.

It is the superiority that bugs me i just leave them to it.

Me too MrsJayy.

Some of the stuff is batshit.

Totally. God help you if you question it though.

Agreed re. The feminism boards, I posted on one saying that maybe people don't always like being told what they should be doing as a woman, it was about writing Christmas cards as 'wife work' and immediately got called a troll...
and they all went on and on about how uneducated women were unlike them...it's as bad as a man saying it!

AIBU to XYZ. Yes, yes you are. No i'm not. Yes you are. No honestly this is why AINBU ...

Where it says at the beginning:
'I've name changed for this'

What is the purpose of this announcement? Does it add the seriousness of the thread? Defeats the object a bit.

feminists who carry on as if they have a cactus rammed up there arses, and people who treat other posters as if they are thick because they slip up on grammer etc. me ? i'm just too lazy to faff about with that on mn as it isn't important imo,

pipsqueak ugh yes the grammer police!

Worse than that are the posters who point out that OP perhaps hasn't explained themselves well enough, or that OP have used phrases that may sound like they're being an arse and then proceed to re-write their post as they think it should be written.

It's almost like yeah, thanks for telling me what I meant to say

this entire thread

*OP: 'My partner is abusive, lazy, smashes things and drinks a bottle of scotch before breakfast. This morning he punched me in the face and kicked our cat to death before gambling away my life savings playing online poker. We have a six-month-old baby and I really need to get away before my child is old enough to see how toxic this relationship is. What are my rights and how do I find a good solicitor?'

Reply: 'For God's sake, why on earth did you have a child with this man?'

I'm sure it's what we're all thinking, but what's the point in saying it? How is it helping? The child's here now; she can't shove it back up her fanny along with her regrets, FFS.*

DollyDayDream - That's the funniest thing I've read in ages!!!!!

The utter disbelief that something happened the way an OP says because it is not in some particular persons experience, followed by troll hunting.

I am not referring to comments on my last thread at all

And another type are the ones where a really unhappy person posts about serious issues in their relationship and there are pages and pages of really smug people telling them how wonderful their own relationship is. Like that helps.

Or when women with children assume that women without children are leading these hedonistic lifestyles and are really immature and know nothing about family life.
