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 prefer to call myself a judgmental prick.

Giantrooster · 23/03/2021 22:31

On a different note, I'm very jealous of you having mn, we don't have anything like it here. As much as some poster have a hard time being civil, you get a lot of good advice, knowledge sharing etc. on here.

Eg. long term effect from covid hardly got a mention here until August.

And apart from the nasty posters, a lot of you are lovely sanctimonious busy bodies Grin.

If I can't sit in my armchair judging strangers and thinking I'm 100 percent better,while sipping Gin.
Then really what is the point?
Peasant! 😀

Just because I am enjoying lockdown in my 6 bedroom country pile, have money to burn (in the Aga of course) and because I accuse everyone of breathing of spreading THE VIRUS. You call me sanctimonious? I bet you shop in your pyjamas don’t you? You 30 stone benefit cheat..

Sanctimonious busybodies who can feed 15 from 1 skinny chicken for 4days

@cormorantes

The world needs sanctimonious busy bodies, sorting shit out, spreading knowledge, and keeping things in check. I'm proud to be one.
I’d like this printed on a mug, please.

Libraryghost · 23/03/2021 23:06

@Vivana you are clearly alcohol dependent. This love of gin will escalate into drinking methylated spirits in the gutter within a fortnight. You are out of control.

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 23/03/2021 23:07

sanctimonious busy bodies

In the context of AIBU this is little less than a gushing compliment. ~takes a bow~

Giantrooster · 23/03/2021 23:08

I don't know which country you are from, but I know I'd have some very important opinions on it.

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 23/03/2021 23:11

The important question OP, is whether you iron your judgy pants, and if so, how often? Anything less than thrice weekly makes one a slut, frankly.

Mamanyt · 23/03/2021 23:11

Well, I'm not a Brit, and only pay attention to the EU when something interesting happens in the news. Generally say, "HUH...that's different," and move on.

And as for "busy bodies," the people who post on here make their lives (or a particular part of said life) an open book. When you do that, you invite others to read it and state their opinion. Agree, disagree, they are doing so because they were invited. A "busy body" would be someone who sneaks around looking for dirt, not someone who has a dirt-ball tossed to them with the question, "What do you think of this mud?"

GreenTeaPingPong · 23/03/2021 23:13

AIBU to think you lot are sanctimonious busybodies teachers
