How ironic! Starting your thread with "to think that".

You do realise that this is AIBU?
As in..
Am I being unreasonable to think pasta pesto isn't a universal...

I still think it should be "AIBU in thinking that..."

Confused YABU.... to think that we need a new way to start threads.

Only threads in AIBU start like this, because they follow on from the "Am I being unreasonable..." bit.

DesolateWaist · 13/02/2017 21:06

I only mentioned this because everything in my trending started 'to think that'.......

I was trying to be funny....

I got ya desolate!

DesolateWaist · 13/02/2017 21:11

Thank goodness Alice. I was starting to think that everyone had had a sense of humour bypass.
Perhaps I should have put 'lighthearted' in the thread title.

Ah ok. Smile

justdontevenfuckingstart · 13/02/2017 21:19

Well if you don't like the way other people start their threads maybe you should start your own!

OnHold · 13/02/2017 21:22

Err, she just did.

AliceInUnderpants · 13/02/2017 21:22

I got it too. Must be an Alice thing Wink

justdontevenfuckingstart · 13/02/2017 21:25

OnHold Grin

AliceInHinterland · 13/02/2017 21:44

If you want a lighthearted observation to be taken in the spirit in which it was intended, ask an Alice.

DesolateWaist · 13/02/2017 21:48

Clearly.

Alice?

Alice?

Who the fuck is Alice???

DesolateWaist · 13/02/2017 21:50

A town called I think.

EggysMom · 13/02/2017 21:52

Monger I agree! It's AIBU in thinking that ... or even W it BU to think that ...

EccentricPickle · 13/02/2017 21:52

I got you too, OP. Maybe I should name change to Alice. Grin

ALemonyPea · 13/02/2017 21:55

Good grief op, you should have put lighthearted in your thread title, and explained what you meant.

I got it btw, surprised others didn't. Gone are the days of tongue in cheek threads

BertieBotts · 13/02/2017 21:55

AIBU to think ... annoys me too because of course you aren't being unreasonable to think whatever the fuck you want Confused

ActuallyThatsSUPREMECommander · 13/02/2017 21:56

At least it's not the profoundly irritating and illogical "AIBU That my MIL said I was a fat cow?"

At least "AIBU to think that my MIL is an evil witch because she said I was a fat cow" has some basic grammatical integrity - although I grant you it lacks elegance.

UnbornMortificado · 13/02/2017 21:58

I like that there was no lighthearted disclaimer.

I remember days when lighthearted was rarely used and MN was all fields etc etc

DesolateWaist · 13/02/2017 22:29

Anyway, I thought that Alice lived nextdoor.

OP posts:
PavlovianLunge · 13/02/2017 22:40

I don't know about next door, but Alice doesn't live here anymore.

(I also got it, but I'm not an Alice.)
