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

I invited the strangers in, roasted a chicken in my air fryer and they were lovely blokes. I can't believe I judged them harshly. They were just looking for their lost cats.

But my next problem... do I need to handcraft their Thank You notes, or will a generic WhatsApp be ok?

Think you need an STD test first. Could send pic of it in the WhatsApp maybe?

You being part of the cabinet is the problem. People can’t see the wood for the Truss. I mean trees. And it’s insulting to the forest!

lol third time lucky am used to netmums soz xx listen its not going to change so you've got to put yourself first. Have a nice bubble bath and a walk maybe snuggle down with a good book or kindle if you prefer. If your not taking care of urself hun u can't take care of anyone. When you've picked up maybe you could think about if it's a roll you can take on urself or ur hubby maybe? Xx

@AdoraBell you're clearly on the wrong page if you think a sandwich is a sensible lunch! I gave up food in 1995 and now DH and I have 3 homes and a further 5 rental properties.

Act now! Get a job at one of your friends edge fund firm and a few of these useful board directorships, keep quiet for a few years and when everyone has forgotten how abject you are, come back to lecture us and make more dosh. Simple.

I suggest a Spa Day. Remember “no” is a complete sentence.

No advice, but didn't want to read and run.

Sorry OP, I think you need to recognise you are not entitled to a PM. Could you get a nanny or look into sharing a nanny with another country?

Answer the door and say No. No is a complete sentence.
Call 999 as the police need to know about this.
Sending hugs op.

I need advice. My driving instructor's son called his Mum's phone while I was on a lesson to ask me out. I said yes. I'm married. AIBU????

PuttingDownRoots · 20/10/2022 15:12

@LiarLiarKnickersAblaze you answered the phone while driving? You are lucky you didn't crash into a school bus of orphans and çuse a passing petrol tanker to explode as it entered a tunnel killing hundreds of people. Hand in your driving license (which you don't yet have) and yourself to the police immediately for deportation.
