To ask whether you've ever recognised used yourself in an AIBU thread?

[SarcasticIntrovert]

Are you a CF? Have you parked unreasonably? Are you the batshit neighbour from next door? Just intrigued about whether anyone has ever read a thread and realised that it's about them. There's always at least two sides to every story!

Yep, it was a family member. I found the post misleading (left out some relevant info) and parts of it completely untrue (they had written that I had wanted them to do something for me which would indicate we have a close relationship, when in reality I accepted their offer after they pestered me). Despite all this, lots of people actually stood up for me which I was quite pleased with!

That's quite satisfying Jadespark. I love an 'AIBU?' '.... 'Yes you are.' thread!

Yep. An extended family member posted about how they weren’t being given a big enough role in my wedding.

@Newfor22 no way! What happened?

I never do this but I’m place-marking purely for nosiness

It wasn't an AIBU but I asked MN for help naming my business. Some time later someone from the thread spotted the business, recognised the name, introduced herself as an MNer and wished me luck

Oh I read the title and thought of it more in a philosophical sense as in, 'have you even seen yourself in CF described in the post, and what have you done to work on yourself' 😂

Because my answer to that would be that people with entitled behaviour are incapable of introspection.

I'm almost certain that a member of staff I manage posted about a situation with me about 9 months ago. She accused me of being very unsupportive and asked for advice on how to “deal” with me. She was told on her thread that she was being difficult and she had it removed.

Managers get called all sorts so I was semi heartened to see I was mostly agreed with.

Not on AIBU but I am almost certain my wedding was one of the examples given by a poster on the worst weddings thread.

I'm always worried when a thread could possibly be about me, but so far it's been mere paranoia.

That's how I read it. And I always recognise myself on the CF parking threads 🙈😂

Yes, I stole my neighbour’s holiday home in Mexico*

*I did not do this

Manateefair, I remember that!!! So you weren’t as CF as you were made out to be?

I have - twice!
Both by my manager and both work related

One was asking for advice on how to handle a colleague that was taking advantage of me (I replied to this one with what I wanted to happen. It was a fairly standard course of action but not what the rest of MN suggested. Whether it was by coincidence or not I will never know but my manager took the steps I suggested!)

The other was when I made a stupid mistake. MN unanimously slated me and said I should be sacked on the spot and never allowed to work in the industry again. Thankfully, my manager defended me and said that whilst she recognised it was a foolish thing to have done, she saw the steps I had taken to rectify it, knew I would never do it again, and otherwise knew I was a trusted and respected employee. (I worked there another year and a half and parted on good terms when my role became redundant).

I still haven't told my manager I recognised her!
