Inspired by so many posts here lately where the replies are utterly batshit and wildly presumptive, give the poster above your terrible advice!

Extra bonus points if you can turn their question / AIBU into a personal attack, whilst deriving totally speculative presumptions from the little they’ve wrote.

I’ll go first.

My next door neighbour would like to plant some flowers along our boundary line, AIBU to let him plant the flowers? Husband says he prefers the neat lawn without flowers along the edging

There is a massive house in front of mine on a huge plot. The house has shared access over my drive. Once the house gets knocked down their is no access as no house. Would ibu to tell the developer after he knocks the house down to gain all entry to the site from the road

Diagram needed or I can't possibly say.

Obviously you need to #bekind and make tea and a full three-course meal followed by afternoon tea for the builders and not only allow them access but cover your drive in some red carpet so their construction vehicles stay clean traversing your lands.

Why are you presuming that we all have access to pens and paper?! There’s a cost of living crisis you know, but I bet you don’t care about that because you voted Tory DIDNT YOU?!

I'd like some advice please.

My husband and his friends gather at our house about once a week to play a board game. The problem is that they play in the dining room, making the table unusable, so I and they have to eat lunch on our laps in the living room. Aibu to insist the table be cleared for meals despite this disrupting their game, or should I just lump it?

Wow what a manchild OP, a grown man playing games for children! He’s clearly cheating on you through the medium of board games. From this one piece of information I can’t believe you, whom I have never met, have married such a pathetic loser! Do you feel proud that this is the example he sets for your Ddogs? DO YOU FEEL PROUD OF MARRYING SUCH A RAKE???
LTB!

Have you considered closing your curtains, so you don't have to see what is happening and noise cancelling headphones would block out the sounds of building work.

Well if you can all sit inside your homes at lunch time playing board games then I’m guessing not one of you works! So we the tax payer are finding your little jolly whilst you sit at home eating marks and Spencer’s finest sandwiches and you have the audacity to complain about a table! You owe us for that table, bloody ungrateful!

As a side note, board games are gateway games into harder stuff, like Roblox and sonic the hedgefrog on PS7. Your husband is most likely using this “board game” as a cover to distract you whilst he’s having sex with other women, most likely escorts. Get yourself tested, op. Oh and LTB

I can't quite believe you outed your husband's hobby like that!
You should have put they use the dining table for an unspecified hobby as it's outing.
And anyway, it's controlling, both ways, both of you, tug of war control game. Unhealthy.
Go without lunch, there's a cost of living and obesity crisis.
So privileged.

My neighbours family are visiting from Australia, they have parked their large camping van across my drive, it's been there for a week now and I have not been able to go to work. I hate confrontation so haven't said anything yet. Would it be ok to let their tyres down and stick a potato up the exhaust pipe to teach them a lesson.

Drug dealers, op.

I watched this documentary years ago called breaking bad where this seemingly nerdy science teacher was actually making meth in a camper van. You need to call the police NOW, if you don’t then who’s to say what could happen? One day all is well, the next little Freddy from number 15 is off his tits on cocaine doing 30mph down the pavement on his little scooter on the way to school. Do the right thing op.

Don't use a potato kitten, it's well known that such low lives who live in a van use potatoes to make moonshine. They'll be selling it for vast profit before you know it. Australians are known criminals: never trust them.

Can't you ask on social media for some New Zealand rugby players to bump it onto some double yellows for you?

My MIL wants us to spend Christmas with her at her house this year but her Christmas dinner is always over cooked and FIL always gets pissed. How do I get out of this?

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 20/10/2022 11:50

Can I have some help please who should pay? A told B and B told C ‘I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree’ C told D E F and G. They’ve invited themselves and the car only holds 4 passengers, E wants a helicopter but the rest don’t want to split it.

Clearly you should be grateful for the charred lumps of carbon she lovingly creates every Christmas and if you aren’t you have a DH problem.

MsFannySqueers · 20/10/2022 11:54

Please help with a personal hygiene problem. I only sweat from my left armpit. Should I shower my whole body or just flannel wash the offending armpit at the sink?

MsFannySqueers · 20/10/2022 11:55

By the way @LizTrussIsACylon you should go completely NC with your MIL she is obviously a narcissist.
