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.

I get really annoyed when someone posts for ideas/help, gets some really sensible solid kind advice but still won't see the woods for the trees. Especially when it's about abusive partners/drug users etc. I wish there was a "screaming at the top of my lungs at you" emoji. And the "my leg has fallen off, do I go to A & E" ones........... But I adore the parking threads. There was one earlier this year where the OP got a tractor out and blocked a lane so the local dogging group had to go elsewhere....it was by far the best and funniest one I've read on here.

Oh there was a 'spoof' one yesterday - it wasn't remotely funny and yet people were howling

I've often wondered do people genuinely spit their tea all over their keyboard with laughter etc? or is it just to convey the sentiment that a post was amusing?

Sparkling I gave you a crying with laughter face, a clown, cat, lips, butterfly and chips (all looked much better on my cast-off iphone ). MN is lacking a bit on the emoji front I feel (emoji: not pronounced EM-uh-gee as I found out recently)

Tediously long OPs. Sorry but I rarely read to the end of those.

An OP which contains a confusing tangle of flaming Mumsnet abbreviations.

Yes but if you message directly you miss the attention seeking element

The virtue signalling 'give me a gold star' AIBUs. I.e. when the post about somebody doing something horrendously racist, sexist, etc and then ask 'AIBU to be offended by this?'

People who think that DH literally means dear husband - nope, it means "my husband" and goes into the sentence just as "John" would if we knew him.

Similarly DS2 is much quicker than "my second oldest son" and goes in the same place that "Sam" would go if we knew the names of your children.

My laptop does not like butterflies or clowns seemingly Sir and just does little boxes. I think non MN emojis look really messy and the MN ones cover everything required.The face is really all you need on MN generally.

Dare I say it- the ones started by posters with a name user1234567. Can never remember if you've posted before, and if so, what.

Also, the ones where posters but sod all information in the title.

Any post which contains the phrases "hubby" "hubster" or "manshape".

Fuck off with that twee bullshit

My sil/mil/bff/dh said something that might possibly be a bit insulting.

I could just get on with it, cos, you know, we all say shit sometimes or........

I am still crying, I'm DEVASTATED, how dare he/she/it say that I don't like carrots, when I have ALWAYS LOVED carrots. I'm going NC becasuse of the carrot fiasco. I well LTB because of the carrots!!!!!!!!!!

They are just carrots.

Any complaint about facebook. The problem is never facebook, rather they only know dull irritating people and cant work out how to adjust settings for their newsfeed.

Cats YES!

'AIBU to donate £20k to charity?'
'AIBU to give up my bus seat for an elderly woman?'

I hate it when people put DS17. So you mean you DS is 17yo or do you mean your 17th DS?

I see your point but it also only takes a few seconds to write in full. It isn't so much dh and dd that are annoying though Inpreger to read my daughter than dd but its the long complicated ones on 'ttc' that have me baffled!

You know there is an abbreviation page Tinker?

I do not mind sweary threads but I do dislike the use of swear words of female anatomy. As a site of mainly females it seems so wrong that the lowest form of insults is our own bodies.

I think it's a safe bet that it's their 17 year old DS.

Ironically I can't even type , ha look at me pro literacy. Doh.
Can you not edit on here?

The ones where people ask "What should I buy at Aldi/Waitrose/IKEA?". I don't fucking know because I don't know you!

Threads where a poster pops up and says "I just showed DH this thread and he says...". Oh, thank fuck, the Almighty has deigned to share his opinion, so the rest of us and bugger off back to our batch-cooking/Zoflora duties.

Poorly-disguised benefits-bashing threads.

So D stands for "my"?! Hahaha

Bluebolt how about dick, or prick, or cock? Are they an appropriate MN insult?

What is stands for and what it means are two different things.

HTH
