Always being right and better than everybody else. Other posters are always wrong but you are perfect. Just look at the drinking threads either posters sniff a cork once a year or claim it's normal drinking 2 bottles of vodka a night. Wtf!

I'm an EU citizen and after reading the EU bashing threads, I'll never look at a Brit the same way. That should keep you going.

(Actually I'm bored beyond bored and bashing threads tend to get the funniest posts 🤪).

I want to know where all the drinking threads are. Confused Wine

Somebody was only the other day fretting about drinking four bottles of wine a week. Even I didn't think that was too bad. But folk were suggesting AA.

@Sparklingbrook they pop up ever so often 'i/dh drink a gazillion bottles of red a night is it too much'. Inevitably the threads are 50/50 divided in said responses 🙄.

@VictoriaLudorum I've wondered the same about class ended up thinking that where I am had a different take on classes.

@Giantrooster Do they? I’ve not seen them.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/03/2021 22:07

I like to think of myself as classless...... take that as you will....... Wink

You forgot the diagram, Sharon.

YANBU I am always right and better than everybody else. Thanks for the validation.

You fuck off (am I doing this right?) Grin

God I bloody hope so. Otherwise, what's the point?

Fyredraca · 23/03/2021 22:15

Sanctimonious and proud!

LibertyMole · 23/03/2021 22:15

I am sanctimonious but not a busybody.

Hernameisdeborah · 23/03/2021 22:15

Yep, I'm a complete sanctimonious bastard. It's a fair cop Smile

Giantrooster · 23/03/2021 22:16

There used to be a Drunk Thread every Friday night from a load of posters who attracted both opprobrium and feelings of fondness. UsualSuspect was one. There were some genuinely hilarious conversations.
mineofuselessinformation · 23/03/2021 22:17

If you say so. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Are you bored, by any chance? There are better things you could do, you know.

lazylinguist · 23/03/2021 22:18

Are you being unreasonable to say that people think they are right and other people are wrong? Well nope, but that's hardly limited to MN. It's pretty much the whole of humanity. People don't tend to think their own opinions are wrong...otherwise thwy wouldn't be their opinions, would they?

malificent7 · 23/03/2021 22:19

I only follow aibu to amuse myself with sanctimonious busybodies!

I will never look at the EU the same again. By the looks of it they couldn't even organise a piss up in a brewery 😏.

Giantrooster · 23/03/2021 22:22

mineofuselessinformation noo I'm not bored, didn't even hint at it in the op Grin.

babbaloushka · 23/03/2021 22:26

Sanctimonious? Maybe. Busybody? Definitely. But I am hugging by EU passport close!

Timeisavirtue · 23/03/2021 22:30

I’m all for opinions being chucked around but it’s when some mumsnetters make it thier sole cause to thrust thier own opinions down someone’s throat because they don’t agree. Next things names are being tossed around and someone’s throwing thier toys out the park because they don’t get thier own way.... that’s why the phrase a difference of opinion
If we all had the same opinion the world would be a boring place. People just don’t need to be sanctimonious pricks about it 😊

The lockdown luvvies are pure comedy gold. They're at their best right now descending on a person who feels guilty for having had her nails done.
