YABU for that thread title. How could you be unreasonable for something other people do?

ItsAMessyLife · 23/09/2017 00:28

Your title doesn't make sense. It reads 'am I being unreasonable that posters use nonsensical titles for their AIBUs?'

That's my point, Backie, that's my point!

Back in the days when it was all hills round here, people used to write 'to be cross that..' or 'to be miffed that...' or more mumsnetty, 'to be apoplectic that...' or even the much loved 'to be fumming that'.

Now they don't even make sense.

AIBU is such a stupid topic that thread titles are the least of your worries, it's the nonsensical OPs that are the problem. Grin

Haha, nope! Not yet. More wine and MTV for me first. It's not like I've to get up with kids in the morning or anything.

Oh.

sparkling, you are of course right. You make a great point. I don't go looking, I just haven't hidden...

If it helps, I'm pretending I don't have to be up at 7 at the moment as well.

Don't give a toss about your issue, though. Sorry.

It helps drinks, but you're wrong to not care. Slippery slope, you see.

I hate the ones that go "AIBU to not want.." or "to not go..." etc. How hard it would be to say "AIBU not to want"?

ftw · 23/09/2017 01:17

I hadn't even noticed those. Now I have a whole extra AIBU thing to annoy me.

Thanks for that Wink

the ones that really wind me up are when the title is 'Am i being unreasonable' or 'AIBU' with no other info. time is short, people, give me context to know if i want to open your thread or not!
