“ otherwise he is a fantastic DH and Dad “ after OP has listed a hundred faults ...
DH has a hobby but I can’t say what it is as it is outing

Not your circus, not your monkeys.
(Or is it the other way round?)
Actually I love that one.

Reverse.

Any reference to penis beaker. (Which was never funny.)

Haven’t RTFT, but... So stop posting and read the damned thread before you comment.

Didn’t want to read and run... Probably well-meaning, but pointless and unhelpful.

"Ducks in a row" - I LOATHE that stupid phrase SO much! Angry

Also, "Have you logged it with 101?" and, "LTB".

Redglitter · 21/11/2018 00:16

All the recommendations to log everything with 101 and believe me as someone who has to deal with the calls once they're 'logged' it's irritating as hell at times

Naice Angry

People who think they're outing themselves because they've mentioned they're married have children & live in a house with a white door.

Blimey, who raked up this zombie thread?! Confused

That's not an overused saying BTW, I am actually wondering why this was raked up, almost a YEAR after the last post on it!

Somerford · 21/11/2018 11:31

Every. Single. Time.

Envy

Ducks in a row.....WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.FUCK

Penisbeaker....never read the thread, don't intend to find it, fed up with seeing the sodding word bandied about everywhere

Ring 999. NOW........why the capitals? Fuck off

Isleepinahedgefund · 21/11/2018 11:38

Fast forward to now......

It makes me unreasonably annoyed when I see that in a post after someone has given all the largely irrelevant back story.

E.g. When I was 16 I fell pregnant. Got a cat, sold my dog and went back to college twice. Fast forward to now, I’m 30 and getting married -AIBU to expect my future mother in law to cook tonight?

I loved incandescent with rage, don't see it so much anymore.

I really hate 'discuss'

I dislike , ducks in a row, also people who say "what happened when you confronted them about it" when it's perfectly clear the op didn't confront anyone, and I detest any form of - passes op a grip, including the super funny ones like - I have a spare grip you can borrow, or, you should go to the grip shop and buy a new one. Finally all the waking up of dh, dc or the neighbours while spitting tea out everywhere is very very irritating.
