I'll go first:

If my dog could start an AIBU it would go something like this....

AIBU to think this many treats a day is not enough? I get none when I wake up, just get left with the dregs and leftovers from under the babies high chair for breakfast.

Then only six (yes, they really do count them out!) on my walk. After that I'm lucky if I get anything until dinner. Then after dinner... ONE yes ONE dentastick and that IT.

AIBU to think this is very mean? I do give my best sad eyes and mostly get ignored.

(Sorry if this is a weird thread I've had a few vinos)

AIBU to whinge at the back door to go out, then go out, then come straight back in again, then whinge to go out again?

My cat:

AIBU to want new owners? They put all the fun packaging in the recycling bin where I can't rip it into millions of pieces. They don't let me walk on the top of the TV and I'm not allowed in the kitchen to stuff my face with all my treats in one go. Also the youngest one keeps moaning that I don't cuddle her enough but I think it's fun to ignore the one that plays with me and sit on the other two instead

AIBU my owner keeps telling me my breath stinks but I haven't cleaned my teeth in nearly 19 yrs and I don't want to start now.

During lockdown my discovered lunchtime.
So, she would start a thread to say her servants feed themselves and starve her.

SleepyMathematician · 11/07/2021 21:04

AIBU to get on the kitchen sides as soon as no one’s looking? After all, if they let me lick the plates and that lovely greasy chicken tray in the first place I wouldn’t have to. OK, so I might knock a few mugs off onto the floor, but even I can see they’ve got plenty. Plus, I’m starved. STARVED , I tell you.

LockdownCheeseToastie · 11/07/2021 21:05

Human slave gave me wild boar cat food when I clearly prefer the reindeer one. AIBU to kill her in her sleep? Or just fart in her face, claw the carpet and smear blue tit on the carpet?

TheCatLikesMeBest · 11/07/2021 21:06

AIBU to think she should know that I hate tuna flavour. Just because it was my favourite last week she makes assumptions. Yesterday she had fish for her dinner and put some in my dish. I treated it with the contempt it deserved.

EatingAllThePies · 11/07/2021 21:07

AIBU

My human talks to me relentlessly. I give no shits. Why does every meal have to be accompanied by her mind numbing chatter. I've tried bringing in and releasing live vermin to try and get rid of her yet she persists in her adoration of me.

I hate her.

TheDinosaurMum · 11/07/2021 21:07

AIBU but every time my human opens the cold box with a light on she always gets something for herself, and I sit here patiently waiting and drooling on the kitchen tiles, but she never gives me anything. But shouldn't she give me something too?

Summerleaves · 11/07/2021 21:07

AIBU to bite my human when she's just trying to comb out the mats in my fur?

Bigassbeebuzzbuzz · 11/07/2021 21:07

Aibu to think my 2 legged slave is a bitch for not pouring the correct amount of biscuits in my bowl. I could SEE the sides ffs. Is this a ltb situation?

Solina · 11/07/2021 21:08

AIBU to think I should be allowed to eat tape and plastic? Every time I try and have a tasty snack it gets snatched away and I get told no...

Ratalie · 11/07/2021 21:09

AIBU to think that biting my owner's nose at night is really, really funny?

Onlinedilema · 11/07/2021 21:09

My cat
Aibu to think that the weather is different at the front of the house compared with the back?
Surely it can't be raining in both gardens?
Surely it's totally fine to stand meowing at the front door, then refuse to go out , then stand meowing at the back door again refusing to go out.
I demand different weather!

AIBU to think that dogmam shouldn't walk me at 6:30am when it's quiet in the woods? I mean I'm not a morning dog and she should respect that, yes I'm reactive (I'm a rescue) but surely my sleep needs come first? I'm super fast when I want to be but sleep comes first, sofa or bed I'm not that fussy

Simbacatisback · 11/07/2021 21:12

My dog is Scottish (Scots Breed as well)
Adopted into an English family

He is wearing is Italian bandana - and thinking anyone but England.

Modwolvesrock · 11/07/2021 21:14

AIBU that my dad goes to work and leaves me aalllll day, every day???

I know mum's home, giving me treats, cooking my lunch but she doesn't do the walks ffs! Fuss doesn't cut it, mum!

I'm a greyhound, I deserve walks ( to interesting places, of my choosing) on demand, dammit!

AIBU to launch at the kitchen gate and sing for my breakfast from 5am? The humans don’t approve of me waking up their two legged children, but I’m hungry and I should not be kept waiting.
Once I’ve had breakfast and a nice run for an hour I’ll happily curl back up on my sofa and sleep until 4pm. Though I will sigh and grumble every time one of the two legged ones dare to enter the room I am sleeping in, and will cover my eyes with my paws in disgust. Unless it involves chicken or fresh fish.

PepperPepperMan · 11/07/2021 21:18

AIBU to stand on the dining room table so I can leap on the window shelf to retrieve my own antler?

DMum puts it there when she thinks I’ve had enough yummy, chewy antler time (??? Wtf ???) she looked rather cross when she found me standing on the table today. AIBU I’m a puppy and should be able to reach my own treats when I want them?

AIBU to be glad that my two housemates have died? I have the place to myself and I’ve never felt better. I have all the human attention and am enjoying the peace and quiet. Does it make me a bad cat?

Carboholic · 11/07/2021 21:23

From my neighbour’s cat:

AIBU to just want a quiet poo in Carboholic’s strawberries without her shouting and chasing me away? Honestly the smell of chilli, curry powder, lemon and orange peels and that “stop cats and dogs digging” powder is bad enough, I don’t need her yelling too. I only poo in her garden three times a day.

TiptopJ · 11/07/2021 21:27

I know I'm not being unreasonable but posting here for traffic

My human stands at the back door calling for me to come in from the garden for the night when she knows I'm having fun hunting moths. Surely her bedtime is irrelevant and she should just wait up until I decide I'm coming in. Obviously I would never accept being left out overnight, I've never strayed further than the back garden and if she ever attempted that I'd holler beneath her window until she relented. She's so selfish sometimes.
