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 🤪).

@MistressoftheDarkSide

Well I live my life with the mantra that if you can't be a good example, be a terrible warning lol!

And I can be annoyingly verbose,

“I let you sleep, Sam," said Lady Sybil. "You didn't get in this morning until after three." "Everyone's double-shifting, dear," said Sam, daring Carrot and Sally to even think about telling anyone they'd seen the boss wearing a blue shawl covered in ducks. "I've got to set a good example." "I'm sure you intend to, Sam, but you look like a horrible warning," said Sybil.

@VictoriaLudorum

I always find it amusing that MN thinks it is middle class, when it clearly is not. My entertainment and I am writing a book :-)
It was once...now it's definitely not!

Oh I'm sanctimonius all right. I'm not a busybody though - can't be bothered. Grin

MmeLaraque · 23/03/2021 23:20

Am wondering where these anti-EU threads are. Perhaps I shouldn't....

If only, don't know how people do it. Tried to shove to glue sticks up the nostrils to no effect 😕.

I don't understand the point of this thread but I'M ANGRY ABOUT RANDOM STUFF TOO, AND MIGHT HAVE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK FOR A TUESDAY NIGHT STOMP STOMP

Ohnomoreno · 23/03/2021 23:25

There are one or two nice people, but it's mostly utter twats or trolls, or trolls hunters who think they're ever so clever for spotting some sort of inconsistency. From a bitter poster who once asked for advice on pretty much the worst day ever and reaped several pages of abuse, assumptions and weird insinuations. I changed user name, obvs.

Rosehip10 · 23/03/2021 23:25

Perhaps people in EU countries should be bashing the EU a bit more due to the vaccine shambles.

Biffbaff · 23/03/2021 23:27

There are a lot of miserable harpies on MN. Find them on the transphobic, sorry, "feminist" threads, and the fatphobic, sorry "healthy eating" threads. You fucking bitches.

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 23/03/2021 23:29

I’m not perfect - I’m pretty useless, most of the time.

Yanbu.

BungleandGeorge · 23/03/2021 23:35

I’m wondering whether the humourless sanctimonious busybodies are brits or not...

@malificent7

I only follow aibu to amuse myself with sanctimonious busybodies!
And they rarely disappoint!
MobyDicksTinyCanoe · 23/03/2021 23:38

I agree with you 👍

Noo you're not useless. I'm sending a hug.

(but it won't be unmumsnetty as I hate that expression, it's done way too much, everybody needs to admit it's not unmumsnetty!)

Anyway I don't believe you are useless Smile.

Ha. This reminded me of my Canadian husband.

When I'm not riding my high horse, I'm sat in my favourite spot being an armchair critic (have a degree specialisng in it) currently hanging my wall, up in my beautiful ivory tower. In fact I'm in that armchair now on my fat arse, sucking wine corks (as my wine cellar is currently empty.) Grin

ilovesooty · 23/03/2021 23:56

I'd like to apologise for taking the thread seriously Grin
