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!

Haven’t you posted about this before…?

You're overreacting, do you always get this upset about things in real life OP

😂

I'm confused as to why the OP has posted this?
😂

I'm seeing examples in almost every thread I read now. 😂 It can't be unseen.

Especially when the sentence ends with "right?".

When posting about a loved one whose pissed you off

"You don't sound like you like them very much OP"

Yeah, you don't say, that's kind of the point right now

Posts baby scan
"I think you mean sex not gender don't you?"

Bore off

When people start a sentence with 'so'. It drives me mad. There is no need for it, at all, whatsoever. Argh!

Why did you marry him/ have children with him........
..so unhelpful.

"And what happened after you told him to fuck off?"

The op clearly hasn't done this so it just makes them feel worse.

"Read the room op"

Said to me once when I complained about my mil during a Ukraine attack.

I can’t believe you actually started a thread about this.

Some of the shite you read on here makes you wonder though.

I bet the 4 Yorkshire men of the apocalypse had dead mothers too. Mother? we couldn’t AFFORD to have a mother……

You sound like hard work

Some threads do make you want to be pass agg though, especially the ones about how hard it is to be beautiful and how being called slim is an insult.

I love ‘Did you, aye’. I always want to post. ‘Chinny reckon’.

It's so good! I swear it originated in here

PFB?

Why are you so invested in this?

I sincerely detest any poster who says "grow up".

And is "bore off" clever? It sounds rubbish. Is it a real stinger?

I'll never forget a sign in the New Forest that screamed

BEAT REMORSE! DON'T KILL A HORSE!

Are we bored?

HTH when they do not, in fact, hope that helps.

‘You posted something that I mildly disagree with so you are vile, pathetic and mustn’t forget bizzare’

‘It’s the summer holidays, don’t feed the troll people’

I know they’re right but the fucking vulva queens every time someone says vagina .. have a day off.

Personal favourite posted on a thread I started about worrying I was too old to wear a particular outfit for my 50th "Well I can see why it was in the sale"

Fuck off. I wore it. I rocked it.
