You know, the ones that ask a question on the thread and you know full well the answer before you've even clicked through.

Should I leave him? - Yes. Run for the fucking hills

DH says this is all in my head, is it? - No. He's a cunt

Is this normal in a relationship? - No, definitely not. And don't let him make you think it is either

Should I text him or leave it? Leave it. But we know you won't. Come back again tomorrow when he's ignored you again

Should we separate? Without a doubt

Are these red flags? North Korea, mate.

What are yours?

No, he isn’t ffs.

My DP spends all his money on weed.
Well it's no worse than alcohol!

AIBU to think I'm in an impossible situation, we have tried ABCDEFG and WXYZ aren't possible because (gives reasons).

I haven't RTHT but why are you posting when you haven't tried A through Z? Come back in a year when you have.

"AIBU to like this food/film/TV show/song?"

No, if you like it then that's ok. FFS!

"AIBU to think…"
"AIBU to ask..."
"AIBU to believe this?"

JUST PUT THE PROPER SUBJECT IN THE TITLE!

"Could I be pregnant? I haven't taken a pregnancy test and can't get to the shop until tomorrow/next week/June, but I have a bit of a funny tummy and my head was sort of odd this morning, you know, not like a headache but more dizzy but not quite that strong, and I keep sneezing, and I feel a bit bloated and I've definitely put on 0.2lbs, and my skin has got a bit odd like it used to do before my period when I was 15-17. I am 2dpo and we DTD last week. Could I be?????"

well you COULD be, yes.

'My husband is horrible to me all the time'
'Have you considered that he could be autistic / depressed / have social anxiety...?'

Butterymuffin · 15/01/2020 09:38

Also 'My 26 year old DC has got a job for the first time ever but wants me to drive them the 2 hour journey there and pick them up every day because otherwise they'll have to wait 7 minutes for a bus. Am I a bad parent not to want to do this?'

Bluntness100 · 15/01/2020 09:41

I've been dieting for a month and haven't lost weight. I don't know why....

BorissGiantJohnson · 15/01/2020 09:53

Am I overreacting? I walked in on my husband having sex with my mum. He says he slipped and fell in. I literally haven't reacted at all.

99% You're not overreacting. You should probably react.
1% Opposite sex people can be friends you know, don't be so paranoid. I'm falling over onto my colleague's penis right now and have done every Friday night for the last 3 years. There's nothing sexual about it. Grow up.

Livebythecoast · 15/01/2020 09:58

My best friend of a gazillion years is getting married on the other side of the world this summer. We really can't afford the expense and it's a 'no kids' wedding and we have no family or friends (we're NC with everyone) to look after our 8 children so will have to leave them with the next door neighbours for a week. Aibu if we don't go?

50% What a shit friend you are. She's your bestie, you must go.
49% no, sod that.
1% you have 8 kids?!

MyCatHatesEverybody · 15/01/2020 09:58

"I'm a stepmum who met my DH 5 years after he separated from his children's mother..."

"Were you the OW?"
"Yes you should help pay for them/drop all your plans at a moment's notice/do the school runs and be happy about it but you are not their mother so mind your own business"
"YABU"

NellyTimes · 15/01/2020 10:00

Also a big shout out to people who think the problem of an abusive partner can be solved by changing the locks.

berlinbabylon · 15/01/2020 10:03

It's all the pregnancy ones where people post a picture of their test stick and ask if there's a line. There clearly isn't, but everyone posts and says yes of course, congratulations. I'm not mean enough to rain on the parade and say no of course there's not a second line, but I don't post at all.

weasledee · 15/01/2020 10:04

I'm going to buy a puppy.........
It's a something "poo"
All hell breaks loose.....

LEELULUMPKIN · 15/01/2020 10:18

Should I rehome this dog/cat/lizard?

Then it really does go nuclear!

LolaSmiles · 15/01/2020 10:36

We're getting a puppy next weekend. We've done our research on breed and have found a reputable breeder. Any advice to settle them in at homd?

You're promoting puppy farms and animal cruelty. Call the so called breeder to cancel and go to a rescue to get a dog that isn't the breed you want that may not fit into your family life or have the right temperament

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 15/01/2020 10:36

"We've just booked a bargain holiday in Spain, it's our first family holiday in 15 years and I am so excited! Has anyone ever been?"

  • I go to a luxury villa in Tuscany for the whole summer. You should go there, it only costs £2,676,222 a day.
  • OP don't you even care about your children, you are deliberately poisoning the whole planet for them
- I have a weekend in November in the cowshit ridden field out the back of Sellafield in a tent with no roof and I enjoy it! You are just stealthboasting OP
BuzzShitbagBobbly · 15/01/2020 10:38

...And I WENT NUCLEAR on them and PULLED THEM UP and STORMED OUT!

PicsInRed · 15/01/2020 11:21

Short answer: "Yes" ... with an "if".

Long answer: "No" ... with a "but".
