BUNFIGHT HERE

999 replies

beluga425 · 07/06/2018 14:54

Am I imagining it or are very simple innocuous threads descending into bunfights more frequently.

I cordially invite everyone to ready their flinging buns here instead. Needed are:

  • Someone to police the fight (whilst stirring it up a bit);
  • Grammar police to insure everybodies writing proper (your welcome);
  • Someone to ignore the basic points and totally misinterpret the thread;
  • About 50 posters to find increasingly patronising ways of saying RTFT;
  • Someone to be utterly horrified;
  • Punctuation lessons from those in-the-know;;;;;;;;
-Liberal use of these two: Hmm Confused;
  • and a passive aggressive "Wow, just wow" on page 3.

is this a Northern bun or a Southern bun, does it have fruit in it or is it more bready? misses point of thread.

ShellyBoobs · 07/06/2018 15:21

You’ve missed a few:

Red flags! Massive red flags!

OP, just ignore anyone saying

“Why do all men...”

OP: I’ve just seen do should I report it?
Most of MN: mind your own business

beluga425 · 07/06/2018 15:22

I'm back. Who said I wasn't coming back? I've just been turning it off and on again and I've called 101 and logged all my holidays.

And this thread Flowers

SalemBlackCat · 07/06/2018 15:22

Someone to say you're selfish and hurl abuse at you for no reason. Scary times.

BlueSapp · 07/06/2018 15:22

Well Im shocked Shock that you dont think this is a serious subject Confused and you are completely missing the point Hmm I'm hungry and want some Cake Sad

MrsBodger · 07/06/2018 15:22

Do the buns get a say in this? Or is it all about a bunch of middle class lib-rad-fem-terfs? As usual?

ApolloandDaphne · 07/06/2018 15:22

Just use public transport. I don't care that you live in the arse end of nowhere. Surely there is a bus every hour to the nearest thriving metropolis? Hmm

ShatnersWig · 07/06/2018 15:22

It's all very well all the "cool wives" on here saying....

Floeer · 07/06/2018 15:23

YABU, all I see here is constant excuses, its like you don't even want to try Hmm

LateDad · 07/06/2018 15:23

I need to speak up here and mansplain the whole "thread" thing to you all because obs I know more about your opinions and beliefs than you do, and when I'm challenged for being an arrogant sexist, pig, take refuge in "I'm only play devils advocate"

And alos point out a grammatical error while missing my own obvious typo.

MyOtherUsernameisaPun · 07/06/2018 15:23

Have you considered that some people aren't capable of verbal communication and bunfights are their only way of expressing themselves? Not everybody is as lucky as you, my nephew's piano teacher's dog walker's granny's step daughter can only communicate in buns and throws one for yes and two for no. If you got your way she wouldn't be able to tell anyone how she feels so YABVVVVU to not think about anyone other than yourself.

SanJunipero · 07/06/2018 15:23

A&E. Now.

Then on your way home, remember to get your free half hour of legal advice from a solicitor.

Amatullah · 07/06/2018 15:23

Bunfight is very offensive to those of the north op!! Its bapfight..ffs its 2018!!!

paxillin · 07/06/2018 15:24

Have you posted about this before, @Cupofcake? HmmHmm

StaplesCorner · 07/06/2018 15:24

I wanted to do the "Wow, just wow" bit on page 3 but people who think they own Mumsnet did it instead of me. sulks

happypoobum · 07/06/2018 15:24

It's MIL isn't it?

Iamnotacerealkiller · 07/06/2018 15:24

OP i think you are just jealous of other more popular and attractive threads. All you talk about is how awful they are and this shows your true biased motives, do you never think about how THEY might feel?

Oh, and i would say the same thing if the OP was a different gender from what they are. (assuming we all agree on what gender options there are now)

OohMavis · 07/06/2018 15:25

Oh ffs.

Don't feed the GF.

RideOn · 07/06/2018 15:25

No this again, wasn't there 2 threads the same as this last year Hmm Confused

daimbars · 07/06/2018 15:25

Why would we all participate in a bun fight?

We're not a hive mind!

BlueSapp · 07/06/2018 15:25

^^ omg Blush I totally forgot about bunlanguage I must apologies a RTFT

SalemBlackCat · 07/06/2018 15:25

Oh and the 'OP I think you should delete the thread because it is identifying' and 'I have reported to mods because I somehow think I know your mind and know that you want the thread deleted' when many of us are hanging for updates. I wish we could throw virtual (internet) rotten tomatoes at everyone who calls for threads to be deleted for no logical reason other than it may be identifying, as if the OP didn't actually way up that risk themselves.

ShatnersWig · 07/06/2018 15:26

If the genders were reversed, most of the comments on this thread would be totally different

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 07/06/2018 15:26

Sorry, OP, he's having an affair. Are you OK, hon?
