@XXcstatic Grin here we go. Proving my point, can't help yourself. TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN, stop referring to men getting into women's spaces.

Geppili · 06/11/2019 17:34

Parking esp with a diagram. Gives me the yawns.

RunsForGummyBears · 06/11/2019 17:39

AMA

Recommend me...

Tell me what to buy in a bog standard store

AIBU to feel (I always want to reply you can feel what how like...)

Newbie1981 · 06/11/2019 17:44

The ones where they pick out any story out of the paper and use it as a trans bashing conversation starter! All under the guise of "feminism"

Scarlettpixie · 06/11/2019 17:48

The ones which give no hint whatsoever as to what the thread is about!

For example:
AIBU?
Am I being unreasonable?
This is ridiculous!
I can’t believe this!

You get the idea.

HandsOffMyRights · 06/11/2019 17:56

Moly

My pet hate on here is capitalising statements/words.

Just because you believe something, using uppercase letters won't force others to adopt your beliefs.

XXcstatic · 06/11/2019 17:57

TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN

Many trans people disagree with that. Are they transphobic?

Putting things in upper case definitely makes them truer, though.

lljkk · 06/11/2019 17:59

Anything to do with dissing Meghan M. Leave her the Fk alone to find her way.

Newbie1981 · 06/11/2019 18:00

@MolyHolyGuacamole please do not get into this argument, these lot are incapable of seeing anything other than their bigoted views! Leave it on this chat, it's a lighthearted one. Leave them to their bitterness and move on 😘

ScreamedAtTheMichelangelo · 06/11/2019 18:01

The ones where no person in the situation could possibly be unreasonable. "AIBU to think I might die if I don't keep breathing?" "AIBU to go to sleep at least once per day?" "I'm not a character in Game of Thrones, AIBU to feel weird about the thought of dating my own father?" etc. etc. etc. WHY ARE YOU ASKING?

Tellmetruth4 · 06/11/2019 18:07

‘Was this racist?’
‘Zilla’
‘Handhold please’
‘Scared of going to London’
‘Am I pregnant?’

Lostsocksaresoannoying · 06/11/2019 18:13

Benefit bashing threads.

Moaning about stepchildren

Judging random strangers because their baby didn't have a blanket on or something.

Redcrayons · 06/11/2019 18:16

Baby names, though I've hidden the subject so i don't see them very often
Threads that start with 'to the woman in Asda who shouted at my DS...' self indulgence attention seeking straight off Facebook
What's for dinner aka write the ponciest list of food you can think of
Anything where the fun suckers jump in to berate the OP, like 'recommend me a £400 bag' followed by 'well mine was £12.99 in Next and it's fine so you should buy the same and put the rest in an ISA'

Tellmetruth4 · 06/11/2019 18:19

I forgot ones which say DP in the title and sound reasonable but when you read the post, it’s clear they’ve known the ‘DP’ for about 5 months and are thus being completely unreasonable. Example below:

‘AIBU to expect DP and I to have introduced me to his kids by now?’ Then you read and realise they only met their ‘partner’ two weeks ago.

tillytoodles1 · 06/11/2019 18:35

I'm too scared to post anything now.

Ginger1982 · 06/11/2019 18:39

Should I have a third/fourth/fifth child...🙄

firstimemamma · 06/11/2019 18:42

No-one seems to have mentioned the 'should I get my child vaccinated?' ones. They annoy me to no end! Vaccinate ffs!

spongedog · 06/11/2019 18:48

My new "Dp/DH/partner/boyfriend"'s ex wont let him see the kids. (Yeah right, fake, fake...)

Or

My new "Dp/DH/partner/boyfriend" has the kids 50:50. He's a really good dad because ..... (most of the time, sadly not)

firstimemamma · 06/11/2019 19:49

"Would you wear this as a wedding guest dress?" Without clicking I already know there's a high chance it'll some awful floor length white dress or head to toe black. Just no!

slashlover · 06/11/2019 20:08

AIBU to ask you what you know about this place that 99.9% of posters will have never been to?

People who bring trans issues up in threads which have nothing to do with trans issues.
"AIBU to be annoyed that the swimming pool has closed the family changing room for renovation and my son is 9 so is too old to come into the ladies changing room with me?"
Random poster - "You could say he identifies as a woman!!!" You can almost feel how pleased they are with themselves.

LolaSmiles · 06/11/2019 20:11

AIBU to think that my step children should stop being rude and disrespectful
Post by a stepmum of 8 years who has got on well with them until their teens and now they're being stroppy and rude.

Replies - absolutely out of order OP, you're clearly expecting too much as their dads new girlfriend and should stop trying to replace their mum.

GrumpyHoonMain · 06/11/2019 20:12

Questions about stuff that can be Googled in two seconds flat.

CallMeRachel · 06/11/2019 20:14

Trans issues and the depletion of female spaces

lbeasly74 · 06/11/2019 20:17

"What would you do" a summary of the situation which ensues a massive discussion on the thread,then people ask for a little more info from the OP and the OP doesn't input apart from their original post

PortiaCastis · 06/11/2019 20:19

Benefits bashing threads, its astounding how people know so much about others bank accounts so they're usually fantasy
Meghan threads... give it a rest and leave the woman alone, there are always a couple of posters who are besotted and over invested in Meghan bitching, very sad
