No?

[devuskums]

AIBU to get annoyed when I see a question then ...,no? It just assumes the poster knows they are right. It really grinds my gears, for want of a less sweary way of putting it.
For example...'you sat by the bar so you should accept people standing too close and leaning on the back of your chair, no'? 😬🙄🤔

YANBU it’s on my list of irritating words and phrases along with suck it up, woman up, boils my piss

Yes, I'm completely with you. Mumsnet is actually the only place I've ever seen this.

@mumjustmum thanks for your reply...unfortunately I know someone close to me who says this in real life. It is infuriating !!

It's affected and pretentious.

@devuskums oh dear lord, LTB

Hahahaha 100% yanbu and the poll agrees!! So annoying and pretentious.

@mumjustmum unfortunately it's not my partner or trust me I would be seriously considering it!!

Dunno, it’s very European ime, having worked with lots of French/Spanish people. I remember being told to stop using ‘super’ instead of very on written reports, a typical French expression.

@Cherrysoup in the nicest possible way, I'd have also suggested you stopped using 'super' instead of 'very'.

OMG it's even worse when people say/write "Non?"

One or two posters (actually might've been one name changer) a few years ago used to put 'non'? at the end of almost every post and they looked like the wankerist of all wankers.

Have to agree also. If you were putting in a report that something was 'super important', that would really aggravate me.

Yes, 'super' is up there with 'Holibobs' for me, sorry

@WorraLiberty you are so right! So bloody pretentious

Oh, I absolutely agree! It was just the way we spoke at the time. Of course it was to be corrected in written reports.

It doesn't bother me because I don't come across it very often. But every time I do, I always hear the "no" in a French accent.

It’s a bit like when barristers cross examine people in court

“Miss Jones, I put it to you that you collided with the Defendant’s vehicle, did you not?”

Yes, highly irritating and I always read it with a tone of superiority on the part of the writer. Which makes me instantly dislike them a disproportionate amount

Oh and also... "poor menz" or similar - usually used in a sarcastic way when a poster says anything remotely empathic or positive about the male sex. It makes me cringe so hard and do this

Think it's a language thing. I have a Thai friend who says "no?" at the end of her sentences.

Hahaha I clocked that one and was going to say something but didn't bother

Yes! I only really see it written down on here, not seen it said ‘in real life’ and it gets my back up!

It’s so condescending.

I’ve seen that too and agree 🤣

It’s a rather weird way of rephrasing the tag question which always challenges the statement made. It’s warm, isn’t it? It’s not very nice, is it. Asking you to deny it.

Very affected and odd, isn’t it.

Yes, it's on a par with 'thought not' e.g. 'So you always stay 2 metres away from people at the bar? Thought not.'

Invariably the person comes back and says, actually I do.

@ilovesooty

It's affected and pretentious.

With bells on, no?

hate the use of "super" to describe everything... almost as annoying as "banging" "banging burger", "banging tune"

It might be a language thing irl or spoken language, like 'innit, but on here it's just arsey and used to demonstrate the poster's superiority.

I hate 'super' too. Surely it can only actually be used if you're talking about having lashings of ginger beer as well, no?
