Annoying things other posters do

[user1485342611]

Just wondering what things other posters do that really annoy you?

For me it's the deliberate misconstruing of an opening post and then flaming the OP for something they never actually said or implied.

Also the posters who conjure up wild scenarios to try and prove the OP is BU - "How do you know the woman who pushed you out of the way at the bus stop wasn't rushing home to her seriously ill child and has only 2p in her purse so couldn't afford a taxi. Try to be kinder and less self absorbed in future".

Writing "I threw up in my mouth a little.. ."

It's a faddy cliché and a horrible image. At least make it your own by varying the text.

Yes, I know IABU .

Whinging about "zombie threads." Get the fuck over it.

Whinging about other posters not reading the full thread. Get the fuck over it.

Whinging about "dripfeeding" when the OP didn't put their entire life story in the first post. Get the fuck over it.

The not reading the thread thing can be awful, though. I particularly remember one where the OP was asking for suggestions of what to wear on a date. Sadly she was physically attacked on said date. Several days later, with the thread filling up with supportive hand-holding while she dealt with authorities etc whilst wrestling with her own trauma, then someone pops on with a helpful suggestion of what might be good to wear on her forthcoming date. That was helpfully meant but would have had quite the reverse effect, if any, on the OP.

Oops, I said "pop"

“YABU.

Hth.”

Well, no, not particularly.

What is your job etc?

My dh is an x and earns this

No you. I’m here to talk to the people who post here

'Source?'

Fucking Google it, twat.

Competitive cleaning... only on mumsnet should you bleach your loo every five seconds, change your bedding every 12 hours and zoflora the fuck out of your house. God forbid you iron something though.

Mnetters are forever 'offering fruit', I don't think I ever offered fruit. It was mainly high sugar petit filous and Billy Bear or dinosaur meat.
Thankfully they've grown into the standard 6ft+ beanpole DSs found on MN. The poor lads.

I find a lot of the weight ones really odd, especially the competitive undereating ones and the everyone over a size 8 is obese and needs a good hard look at themselves ones.

There also seems to be a lot of posters that come onto threads just to be offended, if you think a thread is likely to upset you, maybe don't look at it. I'm not trying to be a knob there, just be kind to yourself.

"HTH"

When a poster needs ideas for rustling up cheap meals. And at least one poster reels off a list of foods to buy - lentils always make it on the list. And i hate lentils.

"I'm having problems with my dp."
Response: "you need to sit him down and talk to him..."
It's the "sit him down" bit that makes me itch my eyeballs.

Anything where anyone asks questions about their breast (clothing, swimwear etc.) Guarantee, someone will put

'i am large of nork'

Pisses me off so much.

Demand updates from the OP because they haven't come back for 6hours. It's like in big situations, particularly emotional ones, they think the priority should be to get on MN and update everyone. Like all I like an update, but if the OP hasn't updated in a couple of days I just assume they aren't coming back and move on

Op: "light hearted: ugh hubby has just left the toilet seat up"

Poster: he sounds narcissistic and selfish and abusive. I'd get your ducks in order and call women's aid

'I've just shown this thread to my DH and he thinks'

Couldn't give a fuck mate.

Indeed. If I was interested on what a husband was thinking I would be talking to my own instead of twatting around on MN.

i am large of nork What about 'I'm fat of leg' ?

I was going to mention the same 50 replies to a question, but someone else has mentioned it so I won’t.
I dislike the ‘you-owe-me-a-new-keyboard-because-I’ve-spat-out-my-tea red wine/whatever’ posts. No you haven’t. And you haven’t rolled on the floor laughing either.

I know this has been mentioned, but I also hate it when posters say, 'You sound deranged.' It does sound like they're mocking mental illness, which is no laughing matter.

“Who pissed on your chips”- disgusting imagery .

'You sound deranged. When I first joined MN someone posted 'You sound quite mad'. I'd posted something quite innocuous but I felt terrible. Now I couldn't give a fuck. Words on a screen.

When two posters have something in common

"Are you me?"

I dunno, take a look in the mirror. If your eyebrows need plucking then yes, I quite likely am.
