The Mumsnet passive aggressive comment thread 😂

[RootbeerLolly]

I was driving through a small cotswold village yesterday and there were a number of roadsigns that really reminded me of mumsnet. 😂

First there were several 30mph signs. A few hundred feet along was another sign saying 'It's still 30'. Next was 'Remember?' and then my favourite....'Had you forgotten?'

I've no issue as the fact they stayed in my memory likely means they better achieved their purpose than if they just went unnoticed, but the 'Had you forgotten?' really reminded me of the mumsnet classic 'Did you mean to be so rude?' 😂😂😂

I thought it'd be funny to have a thread to capture these mumsnetisms. The other common one I always see is 'doesn't sound like you like her very much' which I just encountered five mins ago on the thread where the OP is concerned her obese friend may not cope with the physical aspects of the job she's putting her forward for.

Hit me up with your favourites or show me your passive aggressive anger at my daring to mock this established mumsnet institution!

‘Oh you sweet, summer child….’

Like so many established mn phrases, it’s funny the first time you read it, not so much every time after

Maybe that’s just patronising (ironically patronising?) rather than pa but still annoying

It's a Game of Thrones reference.

Ah ok, I thought it was an older American phrase, but still annoys me when I see it used here.

Not had time to read the full thread but this has to be a reverse.

I'm going to head over to pedants' corner and point out how many of these examples aren't, in fact, passive aggressive.

I mean that kindly.
