Sayings / arguments on Mumsnet that you hate?

[Polkapoo]

There's a few but one I see often that just makes me is 'what if they were your kids?'.

It's obviously always said in response to someone who is not the child's parent and therefore surely a completely pointless argument?!

What others do you always see and eye roll at?

But fortunately think it's died out in the last couple of weeks

When people use "genuine" or "genuinely". For example, "Genuine question, OP, but..." or "I'm genuinely interested in knowing why you think/do insert activity or opinion". The people using those words are anything but genuine and generally want to use the answer to lynch the OP or poster further.

"Are you on glue"? is literally the cringiest response ever. Please can people stop using this one. It's neither witty, funny or withering.

"Batshit crazy" is often used as a complete over-exaggeration to describe a non- or mildly irritating situation.
"My MIL picked up my mail from the doormat when she came round earlier and then put it on my coffee table without telling me. AIBU to tell her to stop snooping in my home"?
"OMG...she sounds batshit crazy"!

"did you mean to be so rude"

this, and the lack of seeing the irony in it too 🙄

'Our little family' and 'family time' never known anyone say that in RL.

And moaning about having to spend Christmas with extended family ... but now moaning because of Covid regs that you can't spend Christmas with anyone

Oh or the people who think you should 'log' any minor inconvenience with the police.

'My neighbour just looked at me funny'
'Log it with 101 OP'.

Diagram or it doesn't count or the other 100 variations of that are you fucking thick? it's as clear as day, you don't need a diagram, you know you don't, you are just trying to be funny but failing miserably and are just annoying. About 1% of parking threads need a diagram totally made up statistic the rest do not!

Leave the kids with him and go to a spa - oh fuck off love he'll be drunk till Tuesday I'm not leaving my kids to fuck off to a spa

'Why did you have children with this man'? Hate it.

It's so bloody smug: their relationship is just so perfect and they would never have ended up in the OP's situation because they're have higher standards and wouldn't take shit from anyone.

Very easy when you're sitting behind a screen.

And another vote for Are you on glue it was funny on the first thread but it's been done to death at this stage

Alongside the log it with 101 crew is the "it may be the missing piece of a jigsaw" as if the police are sitting there with loads of evidence, but were just waiting from the call from Mrs Smith at number 3 to say the person seemed a bit shifty before they could swoop in and arrest someone 😂😂

When someone suspects their partner of cheating and the responses are "Pack his bags and drop them at her house! Go confront her at the hotel where she's with her lover!" etc. Really? Someone is in total emotional turmoil and can't see which way is up, and you want to add fuel to the fire?

I’m so sick of people saying ‘naice’ it was funny years ago but now it’s just so old.

‘Am i the only one who...?’

Usually followed by something like ‘likes sandwiches’.

@Toilenstripes - oh god picky bits. That makes me feel nauseaus. My sil says it irl. I hate it

'Get to fuck'
'I'd tell him to get to fuck'
Really? You'd say those words? Those exact words?? Because
A. I've never ever heard someone say that and
B. Where is fuck? Is it a place? Do you mean fuck off?

Gets me everytime ..

"Don't want to read and run" winds me up.

I have nothing to add but I agree with most of what has be said on here, and the above comment made me genuinely laugh out loud 😂

'Put your big pants on'.

Excuse me but only me knows what size my pants are.. well I'm saying that but of course the man next door knows obviously. He sees them on my washing line and they require two pegs

I saw "bits and bats" on here as in "I bought a few bits and bats from Lidl." Just say "things!"

@iskwobel

Karen. But fortunately think it's died out in the last couple of weeks

I don't know what that means

"Pootle around the shops" makes me feel sick. So does "picky bits/tea"

"Pop to the shops/wherever" sounds so twee.

People who think someone else having a different opinion is a personal attack.

Posters ganging up with others to be unkind or repeatedly targetting a specific poster, it's online bullying.

The internalised misogyny and rape apologists as there seem to be a few on mumsnet. I got told I couldn't choose what to be offended by as a rape victim in case others didn't share my view.

And the racism. I often feel unwelcome as I'm black (many white lives matter posts) and because English isn't my first language. I misspelled look as luck and the poster made out they has no idea what I was talking about when it was perfectly clear in context.

"You sound charming" and other such insults.

The ones where people think their way is the only way eg ‘I take my shoes off the second I get in. I thought everyone did’ or ‘ I have 3 reusable facemasks, washed hourly. I thought everyone did.’ Or ‘’ me and my husband have joint finances and family money. I thought everyone did.’’

Err no. Pleased it works for you but everyone has their own way of doing things.

Grim... Don't hear the word in real life but its overused here when posters try to shame someone, usually for doing something pretty innocuous.

Can you not just...usually used to preface some unrealistic solution to the ops problem.

Blatent placemarking.

Why not use watch thread or post a real comment?

I hate 'dear reader!'
