Don't people worry that the person they make a thread about

[Staffy1]

is a MN user and will realise the thread is about them? Has this ever happened?

I once started a thread on this very subject.

It has happened.

Is this about me, OP?

Yes I really worry about that!

Isn't this why Lemon Drizzle Cake is a classic thread?

Yes, it happened to me!

No

It happened to me with MSN groups way back in the day....Wanna talk about a Soap Opera

Wasn't me I didn't do it

That's why I never post a thread.

Probably want them to read it. I'd start one about my ex if I thought the git might see it. Seems improbable though.

I've seen it happen but not quite the person, involved 3rd parties appeared on thread - the OP had had her arse handed to her as well so it was removed for how outing it was.

I always tweak some insignificant details if I think it’d be possible to identify the people I’m talking about.

Haven't seen that one, will try and search for it.

My bitch of a mother outed me and my pregnancy on another forum, my child had died a few months before, she put specific details on, details of the area and the fact that I was pregnant.

The rumour mill in my small town went wild and everyone knew within a day.

I was fucking furious, had no privacy or time to get my head around it.

Then a couple of years later when I had another child she whined that I didn't tell her I was pregnant for months or about the birth for over a week. I humiliated her apparently 🤷‍♀️

@Bagatelle1

Yes, it happened to me!

Were you the poster or the subject of the post and how did you handle it?

@DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult, oh how horrible, no wonder you didn't tell her about your pregnancy

I need lemon drizzle cake, might need to get baking tomorrow

God yes. I had a corker of a Christmas one a few years ago, very upsetting for me at the time, but it was exactly the type that The Mirror/Mail/Sun would pick up on during the slow news Christmas week.

It would have caused WW3 in my family, so thought better of it.

I like to assume (before opening) that any ambiguously titled AIBU is about me. In which case the correct answer is probably that I am being unreasonable and the poster isn’t.

Sadly it’s never actually about me. But if it ever is, I’ll probably have done something remarkably annoying.

I was dying to post about a tittle-tattle text I received last week involving kids, but what stopped me was the mother/sender seeing it.
It’s a small world.

Can anyone link to the lemon drizzle cake thread? Have tried searching and cant find it.

I once realised that a post was by my aunt, about my mum. But I didn’t see it until a few years later. I remembered the incident it was about and agreed my mum was BU 😂

My first post, or one of them, was about my ils. I remember for days waiting for them to contact me about it!!
