to feel that this topic breeds a load of small-minded carping misery?

[Enid]

is this something to do with sad fishing?

lol heifer

I feel your pain Enid, but think AIBU is like the Chat topic - a corner of mumsnet that attracts utter trivia as well as the not so trivial. If you don't like AIBU, you'd have to be brutal about Chat as well IMO.

yes that's what it's for - to try to minimise the carping small minded misery from other areas.

No, because the same things would have been posted about anyway,phrased slightly differently, in a different topic heading

When I say "no" I mean "yes, you are being unreasonable"...

It's for a bunch of silly soles whose main porpoise in life is to skate over R-eel issues but need a brill plaice to carp about a load of pollacks.

WTH

Very witty.

Thank you.
