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".

Oh bollocks I messed up the bold AGAIN.

That reminds me, posters who correct themselves are really anal and persnickety. Half the time I didn't notice the mistake anyway because the brain works it out for you and connects the dots so a sentence makes sense.

Yes that's true about the brain working it out.

I then find myself being annoyed that I didn't spot the mistake at all

Fuckers who come onto perfectly good, lively ghosty/woo threads and derail everything but repeatedly telling everyone they have a serious mental illness and need to see a doctor regarding their hallucinations and/or be screened for brain tumour. We get it! You want to let everyone know how morally superior you are. Now fuck off.

I hate, hate, hate the HTH thing. If someone did that to me in real life, I would lose my shit. Not in an "unhinged", "need professional help" way. In a way that clearly displayed how much they had pissed me off with their patronising shite response! Ugh!!!

I actually hate (probably unreasonably) the flowers cake and wine thing. I just hate them. I see a lovely, articulate post, well explained and interesting, and comforting just by the use of it's words... Then it is finished with a For you OP. It annoys the hell out of me. I get the intention, but it comes across as a MN version of "Hugs hun"

When did threads like this become such a thing?

It's a shame, I've been here for years and they appear with monotonous regularity with only one objective - to give posters 'guilty' of whatever bollocks nonsense a 'bit of a slap'.

Why is that so important to that you do that?

A big long rant, then....'and breathe' that really annoys me.
Any disaster that befalls you 'drink some sweet tea'
Posters who 'are shaking with rage' on some complete strangers behalf.
And the posters who cannot emphasise how many red flags are raised 'more red flags than a communist party convention' one red flag is surely warning enough!

Those who have an axe to grind about a particular subject who weigh in on unrelated threads:

OP: Can some recommended a good wax to remove public hair?

PP: Lots of helpful answers

Axe grinder: Why do you want to remove your pubic hair? Is your DH attracted to pre pubescent girls?

x 1000000000000

I haven't read the full thread (which I'm quite convinced many posters have probably listed as one of their mumsnet pet peeves!) but my annoyances are:

• "may I be the first to say: cancel the check/are you on glue?" etc etc.

• the poster who writes a "witty poem" in response to a cheeky fucker thread.

• the giving of names, followed by acronyms (cheeky fucker petrol station bitch, aka CFPSB)

There was another, but I can't remember it, and I'm a bit tipsy, so unlikely come to me any time soon, haha.

When the OP asks for opinions on baby names with a chosen list then MN reply with a whole other list for the OP to choose from. No OP wants one of the names from their chosen list not yours ffs!

I have read the whole thread. I started about half an hour ago, so I have now forgotten what I was going to say anyway.

Oh yes now I remember. An OP alluded to it earlier but I hate 'Photo or it didn't happen'.

*pp

the poster who writes a "witty poem" in response to a cheeky fucker thread.

How could I forget this one! I normally try to RFT, but as soon as I see this I give up.

Another one that’s nrtft but those who >puts the coffee pot on< Does my tits in

Putting "Thought not" at the end of a comment.

I am sooo guilty of not reading the full thread. Trying to get better though

Same
If it's 18 PAGES FRONT AND BACK I might tune out or fall asleep by the end lol.

This is my pet hate:

Poster 1: "I went on a date with this bloke and he turned up half an hour late and kept looking at his phone."
Poster 2: "OMG I think I know him! Does his name start with a P and he lives in Middlesborough?"

Because there could only be one man like that in the world, obviously.

"You're getting a hard time here, OP."

Someone ALWAYS wants to leap in with this, regardless of whether the OP deserves the arse that's being handed to them.

Get the fuck over it
Get the fuck over it
Get the fuck over it

I'm not disagreeing, but MN depends on people not getting the fuck over it. If we all got the fuck over it all the time, there'd be no MN.

And then where would we be?

"fuck off to the far side of fuck and when you get there, fuck off some more'

Makes me cringe for them.

People telling me that my opinion is “wrong.”

You can’t have a wrong or incorrect opinion. Just a differing one.

People insisting that you ‘report’ stuff

• to the police
• to HR

and that if you don’t, you deserve what you get, because you’re not ‘doing something about it’. There’s plenty of times when reporting something to the police of HR will make a situation much, much worse. Not everyone trusts the police (or HR for that matter!!) with good reason.

People who start there posts:

'Been here for ages - Mexican house theif, penis beaker, cancel the cheque's

Oh well, you're entitled to the best advice and opinions then, because you've been here for ages. I save my shit advice and opinions for newbies 🙄

Start threads in AIBU because they had a petty argument with someone. And the OP is so long with every detail. So immature! Just sort your own arguments out!

When people say giving you an ‘unmumsnetty’ hug - just offer a hug!
