Most people only seem to read the original post and the most recent one. You can have a page of discussions which is ignored. Maybe this will go against the trend but doubtful!

Haven't RTFT but I think you should cancel the cheque. 😉

NiceViper · 20/03/2020 06:10

Definitely just cancel the cheque

Finfintytint · 20/03/2020 06:11

Just leave him OP.

Mincingfuckdragon2 · 20/03/2020 06:12

Well, I just posted a considered detailed response trying to help an OP. And in the time it took me to write it, over 100 other posts were made. So that could be one reason.

Enough4me · 20/03/2020 06:14

Too many posts to read hun, can you LTB, then cancel the cheque and then fill me in?

grudieabbey · 20/03/2020 06:24

CF. Call 101 if it happens again and write to your local MP.

PerpendicularVincent · 20/03/2020 06:28

Have you got a ring doorbell?

Selmababies · 20/03/2020 06:29

It's your MIL's fault.

PriscillaPresley · 20/03/2020 06:31

You lot are very witty considering it's so early in the morning! GrinGrin

But in answer to your question, OP, I think a lot of people can't be bothered to RTFT or as PP said, if it's a busy thread, lots has happened while posts are being written.

SQuueze · 20/03/2020 06:33

Don’t let them bring the dog.

Eckhart · 20/03/2020 06:35

I've voted YABU but I'm not going to comment in case I don't do it right.

TurquoiseDress · 20/03/2020 06:36

Leave the bastard...

@Thepigeonsarecoming LTB HRT HTH

TopShelf · 20/03/2020 06:39

Just ask him.

PollyPocketLucyLocket · 20/03/2020 06:53

They're CF's for sure OP.

Just ask them if they meant to be so rude. Definitely tell them no if they ask again, and remember that it's a complete sentence.

DrManhattan · 20/03/2020 06:53

Definitely charge her! The CF

TheCanterburyWhales · 20/03/2020 06:55

Shit!
I've been doing it wrong since 2004!
I never realized there might be more than 2 posts on a thread. OP, you're dead clever, you are.

ZenDay · 20/03/2020 06:58

He doesn't deserve you. LTB

forkfun · 20/03/2020 06:58

Tell her to take her shoes off. Your house, your rules.

dayswithaY · 20/03/2020 07:06

My personal favourite is when someone joins a thread about a minor celeb - someone from TOWIE for instance - and says "I've never heard of this person - who are they?" Why are you even reading the thread? And if you're that bothered go and Google them.

On the numerous Caroline Flack threads there was always someone saying "I've never heard of her". Go away then!

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 20/03/2020 07:55

U ok hun?

Unescorted · 20/03/2020 07:56

Can you not just show them this thread?

PurpleDaisies · 20/03/2020 07:56

No, you can’t meet your friend for coffee. It’s non essential social contact only now.

Crackerofdoom · 20/03/2020 07:57

But surely only the OP and then my opinion matter?

Why else would anyone come onto MN but to have their lives judged and decided by the great CrackerofDoom?

Seriously, is this not how it works? It is how it works IRL I am sureGrin
