Tell me your pet peeve kind of posters!

[HurtPeopleHurtPeople]

Hands down for me are the ”if this was a man asking/doing/saying/bla bla”.....
all hell would apperently break loose.

What are yours?

(Oh and let’s vote on mine
yabu- you don’t mind these kind of posts
yanbu- you dislike these kind of post)

I thought perhaps it was some kind of health condition and wondered why you'd be annoyed at people posting about their eyes!

LOL, I'm not quite that cranky!

Best threads though are the ones about how much people eat at buffets and BBQ’s.

You get everything from ‘A lettuce leaf and I am full for the rest of the day’ to someone who eats the equivalent of three normal meals and is ready for loads more.

The ones who decide you’re a troll or lying because your experience doesn’t fit their narrative if you disagree with them.

People who post on every thread even though they're out of touch with current practice but their DS did it years ago

And pepper their irrelevant posts with lots of micro local knowledge of street names and lots of wee annoying strike throughout and

Poster who treat other Mumsnetters problematic lives (such as suffering abuse) like a soap opera.

'Transphobia? What transphobia?' on the Feminism board. And the laughable, shrieking demands to prove it, when practically every post on there is dripping with it.

Posters who don’t RTFT - (cancel the fucking cheque)

People who think RTFT is ‘full thread’ not ‘fucking’.

Threads ending in ‘discuss...’

Text speak

No paragraphs.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion though, RedRec, right?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion though, RedRec, right?

As long as it's the right opinion.

Posts derailed because the OP used the 'wrong' terminology or terminology that Mumsnet will hate. ( There's one going on at the moment now). I have a good feel for this now.

Once someone posted asking an AIBU about for advice on her side hustle. She got her side hustle handed back to her on it's arse and no actual advice. That'll learn ya!

Unauthorised for Mumsnet use words or phrases: Side hustle, baby daddy, mummy, little family, misspelling of anything, grammatical mistakes in any capacity, Slang, X, Hugs, Baby shower, McDonald's.

Authorised: Chicken, wine, Sainsburys, Dogs, Cake, CF

Generally discouraged: dramatics, entitlement (any request for anything), sex with children in the house.

Generally encouraged: judginess, ham, support, terrible advice, great advice, spa days, budgets and LTB.

I love it here 😂

Erm, didn't mean 'sex with children in the house' but 'sex while children are in the house'. Maybe those grammar police have a point!!

thinking of getting a puppy threads when theyre totally unsuitsble to have one / i leave my dog 9 hours a day and its fine... / "so only the rich can have dogs then?? " threads

I also find ‘get your ducks in a row’ annoying but I do enjoy it when it autocorrects to ‘get your dicks in a row’

I find posters who turn the OP's thread into one about them annoying. The poster asks for advice about something and then one poster comes along and calls the OP out on something they deem offensive, then another poster tries to defend OP and the thread details into an arguement that no longer has anything to do with what the OP posted about. Pretty much most threads on here I guess.

@TacosTuesday 😂🤣

The competitive misery "I was living on my own nursing two babies and working 3 jobs when I was 18" ...good for you, not everyone's the same.

The competitive cleaning posts, "You don't wash your bed sheets twice a day!? rank."

When someone mentions doing something/talking to their MIL and you get posters going "why isn't your DH dealing with it", like you are only supposed to talk to your side of the family.

Posters who think it's weird for extended families to get on, or go on holiday together or live near each other.

Posters who blatantly just want a pat on the back but they'll twist it into an AIBU. "I saw an elderly lady sitting on a bench with blood on her face. I approached her, called an ambulance and stayed with her until it arrived. My neighbour's, aunt's cousin's cat said I was BU and now I'm starting to doubt myself".

There's usually an insane friend, who apparently thought the OP was being interfering. What if she wanted to bleed to death or enjoyed the smell of her own blood? I'm starting to doubt myself for saving her life. AIBU?

Oh yes those mumsnetters with senses of smell that can distinguish an unwashed bra on an otherwise clean person, or can pinpoint the exact time someone last had a shower. They can always smell if someone hasn’t had a shower that morning.

Because everyone is nose blind, and can’t smell themselves, but everyone on the tube can.

ok blue's comment reminds me - people who post thst tkip showers and are convinced they dont smell

they skip showers*

Posters who would rather make a nasty comment rather than not say anything at all.

Long justifications for eating pizza, McDonald's etc.

It's not a "peeve" because I find it funny, but it does cause me to roll my eyes.

A thread along the lines of AIBU to be annoyed that my pizza was two hours late?

You expect it to start with "Ordered at 6, finally arrived at 9:30 and was stone cold. Should I complain".

Instead it starts "We'd been driving back from MiL's for four hours, and when we got back the cooker was on the blink. DS had only eaten salad that day, and hadn't had any sweets for a month, and there was no food in the house. We decided to have a rare pizza, even though we would never usually order a take-away."

Alright, you had pizza, nobody's going to hang you for it.

Those who flounce but don't leave.

Help me choose my baby’s name Aaaaggghhhhhh do it your bloody self

I loathe the 'op, ignore everybody else, here's what I think' ones. The arrogance of it is breathtaking.
