Just for fun

'Discuss...' No, I won't, I'm not at school any more.

Any of the 'Look at my scan picture & guess the sex of my baby' ones. I really, really want to post 'it's a kitten', but I'm not quite mean enough.

Anything with a typo in the title annoys me. Proof read & preview fgs. I don't care if there are typos galore in your post, but at least get your title right so it doesn't make Active look messy only slightly joking

"Was this racist", you know, probably not, would I move to Pakistan and claim everything is racist against me? Sick of seeing this.

AIBU to make my cleaner do a fortnight worth of cleaning in one hour, including the diarrhoea blast my precious little angel left unflushed and up the wall. I think she should show gratitude for the employment, don't you agree.

And then there's

My friend is on benefits. She gets a thousand pounds per week, wears designer clothing, she's living in a FREE council house while she owns three properties she rents out, drives a new high end car, has a giant TV with gaming console in every room, smokes 100 fags a days, drinks alcohol like prohibition were about to be declared and will eat nothing but smoked salmon and caviar. I KNOW all this because she showed me all her paperwork and everything.

Yeah, right, pull the other one you goady bullshitting fucker.

And

We have found this house we love but there is a council house three villages over. AIBU to think my possessions will all be stolen and someone will rape my dog within twenty four hours of moving in because you know what council house dwellers are ALL like.

And

Don't you think Jeremy Corbyn is just dreamy weamy and not a magic money tree inventing git.

VanyaHargreeves · 06/11/2019 02:02

Yes @BlackCherryBliss and see also

Someone is claiming PIP and there's nothing wrong

Have their entire medical history do you?
Have the endless reports of how fucking hard if is to qualify for PIP escaped you?

Someone is claiming PIP AND they are working, should I report them?

PIP is not an unemployment benefit you absolute knobber!

Oliversmumsarmy · 06/11/2019 02:04

I am going to (insert shop name) What can I buy.

Ffs just go and look around.

How would a bunch of random strangers on the Internet know your taste in clothes, food etc

BelgianWhistles · 06/11/2019 02:10

AIBU to boycott XYZ?

It’s always a trans thread.

Omashu · 06/11/2019 02:37

People asking for opinions on popular baby names. They’re popular so do they really need to hear a bunch more people say “lovely name OP, but I’m biased Wink “

stupidis · 06/11/2019 02:43

Should I wear this white dress to a wedding, no I'm not the bride

Soon2BeMumof3 · 06/11/2019 02:50

The 'guess the sex with me! Weeeee!' Threads... if you want to know, there are tests.

Likewise 'am I pregnant?!?!?' I don't fucking know, go to the chemist like a normal person?

I don't understand the need to have a bunch of internet strangers taking an emotional journey with you.

MM and Harry

TheMustressMhor · 06/11/2019 03:28

Who is the father of my baby

Ah yes.
Shame the Jeremy Kyle Show has been axed.

Baby Name threads.

Am I pregnant?

Is there a line on this test? (No, invariably)

AIBU to complain to the head teacher (Yes, invariably)

Anything with A, B and C.

Soft Play.

Parking (with and without diagrams)

"Woo" threads. (Yes, of course your house is haunted. Everyone knows ghosts really exist)

Mothership4two · 06/11/2019 03:30

Advice on decorating or an outfit - really dont care!
Brexit
Questions about your sex life

But basically threads that turn into bun fights between posters (not usually the OP) about something unrelated to the original topic.

Loaf90 · 06/11/2019 03:33

Can you see a line?

GnomeDePlume · 06/11/2019 03:33

School packed lunch threads - 'is this okay?' with a picture of a few random items and no indication whether it is to feed a 5 year old or a 15 year old.

Cue lots of replies about swapping out one random food item and replacing it with another random food item. Plus comments about how their child would either explode or starve on the suggested packed meal.

Surely the OP has met their own child and knows both what they would normally eat if at home and what they are having for the rest of the meals that day? It's a packed lunch, does it need so much thought?

VanyaHargreeves · 06/11/2019 03:42

My friend has x health issue, I find it quite tedious, please validate my need to fuck them off and feel justified and not cunty.

BadLad · 06/11/2019 03:52

Virtue-signalling, self-aggrandising bilge like "AIBU to have taken just ten minutes out of my day in order to help a struggling little old lady to carry her shopping home?"

No you weren't, love - gotta be a shoe-in for a Nobel prize for that.

There's usually a crazy friend who was with the OP who thinks she was being unreasonable. Something like:

However, my friend who was with me thinks I was being very rude, and that I shouldn't have patronised the old lady, who might have been carrying her shopping home to prepare for a weight-lifting contest, and that I should wind my neck in.

Aridane · 06/11/2019 04:00

@Soon2BeMumof3

@saraclara

.@JasonPollack

I agree

Aridane · 06/11/2019 04:01

(especially when it spills over into AIBU- though happily AIBU is much more balanced than The Other Place)

StartupRepair · 06/11/2019 04:03

My do has cheated on me several times. AIBU to believe him that he really loves me and will change?

Durgasarrow · 06/11/2019 04:07

I LOVE parking ones. Also, I love ones about trees in the garden and whether they should be cut down.

BitOfFun · 06/11/2019 04:13

Anything about Megan Markle.

My boyfriend is a complete cunt but I can't bear to be alone.

sashh · 06/11/2019 04:16

Has anyone...

As in, "Has anyone lived in Spain?" or, "has anyone eaten chocolate"

Well yes a lot of people live in Spain, go to Ventre Parks, have given birth. I think you mena, "Have any of you..." or,"Has anyone on here..."

I also have a think about a particular type of answer. SOmeone will ask for help with a baby name and give criteria, so, "I like classic girls names, I already have an Elizabeth and I can't use Catherine because..."

Someone will always suggest something like Latasha or Kylie. There is nothing wrong with Latasha and Kylie as names but they are not something the OP is going to consider.

The same happens if someone wants a short one syllable name and the suggestions will be Christiana and Evangeline.

PeninsulaPanic · 06/11/2019 04:17

Any that have the word 'woke' in the title, or that suggest some trans-bashing loony will use the word 'woke' in their bitter, ranty post(s) Hmm

TheMustressMhor · 06/11/2019 04:36

2WW (anyone want to test obsessively with me for several days)

Anything about POAS addicts.
