There do seem to be quite a few threads started in AIBU? by people who definitely don't want to hear (ok, read) "Yes, YABU".
These are usually summarized along the lines of:
OP: AIBU?
MN: Goodness me,/Fuck,/Hell, yes!*
OP: I'm bloody not!
Occasionally with added drip feed of why the OP really isn't BU. So there.

I'm honestly not thinking of any particular thread here; just making the point that it happens quite a lot.
So, perhaps people could have somewhere post specifically to ask for people to tell them they are, indeed, in the right.

Ok, it would be dull as ditch water and nobody much would read it, but blood pressures would be lowered all over the world. Tra la la twinkly stardust etc

Please don't bother replying with anything other than: OP! I am truly staggered by how right and totally not U you are B.

Anybody who disagrees please reread the "I'm bloody not!" bit above.

*Oops. Shades of Ed Miliband.

Isn't it dull as dish water?

Ho, yes, that's low, that is, criticising my simile Angry

(Umm... I'm not sure now. I thought it was ditch water, but dish water does sound pretty dull....

I'll flounce again, just to be on the safe side

)

There! See what you made me do 😥
