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

@PuttingDownRoots I'm fuming you said 'hand in' Not all of us have hands you know. Reported.

@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.

I disagree. Love is worth a little risk, what if OP never gets to find real love? Look at Meghan and Harry, isn't their story worth a thousand car crashes?

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????

YABU, OP.

It is really important to a developing brain to socialise with peers at this age. You should encourage his mum to invite him for special play dates at yours so that everyone can have safe, supervised time together in a comfortable setting. Make sure that any pets are locked away and everything is santised. I'd even offer Ribena and quartered grapes as a snack for after.

Encourage your husband to sit on the floor and join in. He may find it enjoyable to really bond during this precious time.

Remember, if you don't get the result after that you'd hoped for, it is important to keep trying and reach out for more one on one time.

Best of luck! 🙃

Advice needed. I’m part of the cabinet and no one wants to be PM. What do I do?

Op, we tried to help you last time. We told you to LTB (leave the boris) and fair enough, after months you finally got him to leave and we were all behind you. But you took your share of the divorce, gave your friends loads of it, let your kids starve and now decided you’re out of your depth and want to quit? Good riddance, your kids deserve better!

You must be a troll. What kind of decent parent would serve so much sugar in one sitting and if you mean sugar free Ribena you might as well hand yourself in to SS immediately. Aspartame is abuse.

Lime cordial sweetened with organic honey, organic carrot and cucumber batons and celery, with homemade hummus. (Made by your DH and the driving instructor's son as a bonding activity and to encourage independence.) Settle down with a glass of wine and enjoy your evening.

Can anyone help? Have NC for this. Can’t give too many details because very outing, but husband has a hobby he does 2 hours a month, and it’s getting me down. He’s the main earner, very high earner actually and I’m a SAHM to a dog called Nigel. He works 16 hour days and waltz’s in from work and wants to sleep and rest? Then one Saturday a month he spends two hours doing his hobby. Sick of it, feel like I’m carrying the whole household. Advice?

their story is a thousand car crashes. Poor Harry, whisked away by that vile witch. I wouldn't spit on her if she were on fire, the evil harpie. She's no English rose, is she? Not like amazing stylish effortless Kate who should be the Queen of Everything, Forever. #notracist

I suppose you even expect him to iron his own underpants and pick up dog poo? You are very controlling.

He on the other hand doesn't appreciate your sacrifice.

I’m literally in tears here. Nigel has shit on the carpet, my £5000 monthly allowance from my husband has ran out and I don’t get any more until Saturday and you’re tearing me apart! I am here looking for help! Reporting you!

@TerfQueen your fault for putting down carpets when you have a dog. Boak. Sorry but your house smells. Probably why your husband spends 2 hours a month doing his hobby and doesn't want to spend time with you. Can you really blame him? You sound like hard work.

As not to drip feed, Nigel is the name of my dog and my husband. It’s DH that has shit on the carpet.

Serves you right. If I was your DH I'd have done so a long time ago. Have a good hard look in the mirror then call 999 on yourself. Why people like you own dogs is beyond me.

TerfQueen · 20/10/2022 16:46

Have called 111 and told the mirror to LTB, will ask for thread to be deleted thanks for all the helpful comments.

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?

You should make them some nice hot tea, but pour it directly into their laps.

TerfQueen · 20/10/2022 17:13

Thank you! Time for a new me. Thinking of treating myself to this what does everyone think?

HOT tea? Erm energy crisis anyone? 98.4% of people living in the UK can’t afford to boil a kettle and you come on here with this? Absolutely heartless!

Haven't clicked on the link because it's probably unsafe and will lead Putin's assassins directly to my door, but I'm sure it is very unsuitable and a little too....young. I don't like to use the 'mutton' word because it's disrespectful to farm animals.

kingtamponthefurred · 20/10/2022 17:44

Also, AIBU to go NC with my SIL because she had a baby in my Birthday Month?

quietnightmare · 20/10/2022 17:47

Have you always been insecure and jealous of your sister? Jealousy is not a good colour on you m. How old are you and selfish to think of your birthday as a whole month. Give your head a wobble. I hope your sister has twins on your next 'birthday month'

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/10/2022 17:52

@kingtamponthefurred
absolutely
perhaps you can get her to change the birth certificate, i will put a drop of tipex on it if you like
