Just reading AIBU and wondering if you’ve ever been flamed for something you posted?

I once got crucified for sharing that I was tired from geting up in the night to let me cat drink from the tap. Grin It was my first time at the rodeo and I was a bit thin skinned about it.

I’ve been here years now and I couldn’t give a shit anymore.

What have you been flamed for??

Oh I assumed it was a weird hygiene thing. It makes even less sense now, why would anybody give a fuck what you did for your cat? LTCB shes gas lighting you? Your cat will grow up to be entitled? Your cat's typical of todays generation of cat's? I can't imagine the logic.

Not a flaming as such.....But a comment was made that I sounded 'a bit strange '.

I was at wits end , so maybe I did sound a bit strange.....but apart from that superb pearl of wisdom, I remember nothing else she said. Wink

Why - wtf

I vented that i was tired of my very aggressive neighbour screaming and swearing in the street. I didn't understand about drip feeding and added something on the following page. I actually got banned!

And you know for a FACT if I posted saying that I was going to lock my cat In he kitchen because she was asking me for a drink I’d get pulled over the coals, told i should never keep pets, the works.

One of my finer parenting moments. Few and far between admittedly.

MrsTommyBanks · 10/12/2018 01:08

thighofrelief I remember that one too!
It was savage.

Calvinsmam · 10/12/2018 01:08

I meant turning the tv up was a great way to deal with your daughter, I can’t imagine how mortifying it must have been for you. tommy

I think it’s always reassuring to know that when you’re getting flamed there’s alway lurkers being like WTF?

More uncomfortable than mortifying tbf. Part of my original thread was that I was happy she felt able to enjoy her sexuality. I just didn't enjoy hearing it. I didn't want to inhibit her.
Someone accused her of getting off on me hearing her. Which was crap. She was just, yanno, in her moment.

MrsTommyBanks · 10/12/2018 01:13

Og God. Dont ask about the Mouldies.
No good will come of it.

Calvinsmam · 10/12/2018 01:14

Oh my giddy aunts why would you say that to someone?

Tommy completely savage! I was told rather than judging my aggressive neighbour i should go and see in what way I could help her with her life. Bonkers.

Calvinsmam · 10/12/2018 01:16

?????

But that could put you in danger.
Why would anybody involve themselves with an aggressive person for no reason.

Calvinsmam · 10/12/2018 01:17

Hey highly volatile and aggressive person I would like to offer you some unsolicited help.

Yup can see that going well.

Sooooooooooo many times.

One poster actually registered with the express purpose of telling me to fuck off. She's still around, I think! She turned out to be quite decent.

I've been chewed up and spat out more times than I can remember. Always swear I won't get into it again. Until i do.

SnipSnipMrBurgess That sounds awful. There are definitely an element of aibu that just live to hurt I think.

thighofrelief · 10/12/2018 01:19

Calvin well exactly! They ripped me to shreds and did it en masse like a Mexican wave.

Greensleeves · 10/12/2018 01:20

Calvinsmam, I tried ltb, but ended up crawling back like a dog returning to its vomit Grin
