"Well at least you have a mother/dog/budgie/great aunt mine is dead and I'd give anything to have them here"

Yes we should all suck up the most awful behaviour from other people and be grateful for their mere existence as one day they will be dead
Someone says that they are in some way annoyed by someone else's behaviour
And
Every
Ducking
Time
"Well at least you have a father (even if he is a serial killer) mine is dead and I'd give anything to have them back"
Aaagghhhhh

'you should have known what to expect when you married a man with children' to stepmums. I'm not one and even I find it fucking irritating.

God yes. This.
And also frequently to stepmums: "you need to accept you come second to his kids and rightly so..." blah blah blah. When she complains that he drops her / changes agreed plans repeatedly last minute with no regard for her feelings at all.

As if it's a competition and she should "know her place". God forbid a man is able to parent his kids from a previous relationship without guilt and the inability to say "no"; and god forbid he ever strives for balance in his life where he equally respects and values both time with his kids and time with his new partner.

Eye roll. Every single time.

No is a complete sentance.... No its fucking not!!!

zzizz · 28/12/2020 12:49

I mean, "no" can be a complete sentence - but then again so are many things.

Shit. Fuck. Shan't. Won't. Wanker.

All great ways to win friends and influence people when they ask you for a favour Grin

@youvegottenminuteslynn

Oh god I forgot the worst one, even worse than tinkly laugh...

"Man here..."

You don't need to announce you have a penis. You really don't.

This doesn't annoy me. I assumed it was for clarification purposes on a site that is predominantly female, especially when you can't immediately tell from some usernames what gender a poster is. So I sometimes find the clarification of gender useful as you're aware of the different perspective of the poster.

Alongside the 'take in ironing' for money struggles you get

'Just put it on / get a credit card'. What a brilliant idea! I can't afford food this week so I'm sure I'll get a credit card or use the one I have but won't be able to make the payments on.

Aria999 · 28/12/2020 13:01

@swansongs

Agree OP, but another one I particularly hate is:

"It doesn't sound like you like him very much" when someone is venting about their partner being a dick.

Nah this is legit IMO.

Because either mostly they do like him and it's just this one thing, or actually they don't like him in which case they have bigger problems than the issue at hand.

(Still being in a relationship with someone they don't actually like).

Just posted on another mn, was being funny but you bet ya I get roasted. 😉🤣🤪😇😱

Justbrutallyhonest · 28/12/2020 15:06

What is “Carte balance” ? And you right you do seem like an annoying dick

swansongs · 28/12/2020 15:12

@Aria999 Sure, like any of these annoying comments, occasionally they may be appropriate. But I see people saying "It doesn't sound like you like him very much" on lighthearted threads. Totally misses the point and harshes the buzz.

Lollipops1987 · 28/12/2020 15:39

@SchrodingersImmigrant

And sometimes in the middle of a shit time being told we should be grateful for the shit time because some people have it shitter is fucking insensitive

At least you have shit. I haven't had shit for a while. Be grateful for a shit.

Amongst all the hilarious comments, this is far by the best!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
MrsGrindah · 28/12/2020 15:49

I hate the comments where posters assume people have a certain lifestyle e.g assuming people have gardens/ a car/ spare rooms etc.

OlympicProcrastinator · 28/12/2020 18:25

I absolutely DETEST, ‘First World Problems’ as a response. It’s lazy, boring, overdone, patronising, outdated and so ‘white saviour’ it makes me cringe myself inside out.

Developing worlds aren’t ‘Third Worlds’ and trust me when I tell you people living in places with less infrastructure still have minor daily issues they complain about. Anyone calling other countries Third World can fuck right off anyway.

'I'm embarrassed for you'

That's got to be the worst

BumBurnerBum · 29/12/2020 12:03

Someone's already mentioned it, but it happened a few times on a recent thread about a DH not helping at all for the family Christmas. Several responses along the lines of 'm DH dealt with our new born all night then brought me breakfast in bed so I could have a lie-in. He brought me a new house, car and diamond collection for Christmas and then cooked Christmas dinner for my whole family before driving them all home in the evening so I could enjoy a glass of champers. I couldn't live like you.'

A) Bollocks!
B) how fucking smug and unpleasant in context of the thread!

Tbf I am embarrassed for some posters🙈

You sound jealous.

LouJ85 · 29/12/2020 12:18

Tbf I am embarrassed for some posters🙈

I was just thinking the same 😂

ineedsun · 29/12/2020 13:23

It's usually said by people purely as a passive aggressive response to something they disagree with.

That and I'm cringing for you.

iklboo · 29/12/2020 14:38

'That's just cringe'

Mangermaid · 29/12/2020 18:09

@Fcuk38 your post did not deserve that nasty response from Hobnobswantshernameback. Sorry for your loss.
