oh yes, the ones where a simple google would give the OP an answer much more quickly ... what's the point?

WhineUp · 06/11/2019 09:27

Anything that stinks of chronic penis pleasing.

Those goons who feel like they know Prince Harry and what's good for him. Any PH thread I skip now.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 06/11/2019 09:33

Should I have phoned 999/social services etc
No you were right to ignore that heart attack or assulted child snd and carry on with the school run. Hmm

Morosou hubby and bubba.

All the transphobic shite.

The ‘What have you eaten today?’ threads, full of people who have nibbled on a mung bean and looked at a carrot but cannot possibly eat another thing so are skipping their steamed kale dinner.

Long-running 'funny' sagas that have been done to death - 'Turnip-Zilla thread 34'

Limpshade · 06/11/2019 09:44

Not in the title itself, but I find myself hoiking up my judgy pants while reading any OP that contains the phrases, "Fast-forward to..." (it's never a fast-forward but an extended autobiography) or "we had the perfect relationship" (spoiler: they didn't).

How much do you spend at Christmas?

Some spend £20 some spend £2000 and everything in between....pointless thread! (But I still read them enthusiastically!)

Peony99 · 06/11/2019 09:55

Twee MN cliches like "hoiking up my judgy pants".

(Sorry Limp!)

Great thread - very interesting. I think we have covered every single thing on Mumsnet Grin thanks everyone.

Line eyes!

I honestly thought these threads were about applying the perfect kohl flick. So disappointing.

Youngatheart00 · 06/11/2019 10:30

“Line eyes please” Hmm

Meghan threads

And not a title but find it very frustrating when someone posts an essay about done dilemma or another, gets lots of responses then OP never returns.

Youngatheart00 · 06/11/2019 10:31

@SinisterBumFacedCat (great name) - snap

I'm 5'2", 15st and a size 10. How much weight do I need to lose to fit into a size 6?

ooooohbetty · 06/11/2019 10:46

Aibu not to have any visitors to hospital or my home for ages after I've given birth. Meaning I want to exclude grandparents/relatives from this joyous occasion. I honestly don't know how having visitors is such a big deal.

My 4 week old isn't sleeping 12 hours through the night kind of thing.

Anything with MIL. You just know MIL is going to be unreasonable,controlling, right wing and has no right to see DGC.

campion · 06/11/2019 11:03

...and the made up ones.
Why do I keep falling for them?!

...and the made up ones.
Why do I keep falling for them?!

Because they are all to convincing. I suspect MN is riddled with journalists, unpublished authors, 'sock puppets' i.e. those that name change to give an opposing goady response to rev up the thread. Also people hide behind yet another name change. Some name change for good reason.

Was the thread about the 15 year old girl's 15 year old boyfriend texting the girls mother around midnight to say they had been having sex and he had intimate photos of her real ?

CruCru · 06/11/2019 12:18

Anything where you can’t tell what the thread is about from the subject - AIBU about this?!? I have no idea and don’t want to click on the link.

Anything where people are devastated / outraged / furious. They probably left it too long to return a dress.

SilverDragonfly1 · 06/11/2019 12:28

AIBU to wish/feel/want...

No, because these things are largely outwith your control. However, if you act on the thoughts etc, you very likely are being unreasonable because at that point you're knowingly abandoning self control.

So you're not unreasonable to wish you had a Porsche. You would be very unreasonable to remortgage so you could buy one.
