To roll my eyes at people giving their irrelevant opinions on Mumsnet

[MsLuxLisbon]

I don't want to make this too specific because then it would be a TAAT, but to give a general example: OP starts a thread that says something like 'I went to an expensive seafood restaurant and I was served stale bread, warm wine and I think that one of the oysters was past its best. The staff were unhelpful and I think I should message their head office. How should I go about it'.
INVARIABLY, someone will come along and say 'I hate seafood. YABU to go to a seafood restaurant.' Then someone else will come along and say 'YABU to eat somewhere expensive in a COL crisis. And what about the situation in Gaza/Sudan/Ukraine/Wherever'.
It is so so annoying and people do it all the bloody time on here. AIBU to find this so annoying?

Surely the whole point of mumsnet is to give us eye rolling opportunities 🙄

people can post what they want

Yes! A single parent earning 40k is sayinh they are struggling and living in london or m25 commuter belt and should be absolutely loaded and is boasting about their super high income.

Just be grateful, move away from everything and everyone you know 🙄

Oh another high earning boaster and so on.

Same as on this morning when their is breaking news and they change the subject everyone is up in arms. What about COL, ukraine, Afghanistan etc but soon forget themselves 🙄

If all the posts were sensible, well-thought-out and perfectly reasoned mine wouldn't stand out so beautifully. I welcome the dross.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, of course, but it's still really stupid and annoying. As is your post, if I'm honest.

It’s all very well you trying to police people’s postings and opinions, but I’m surprised you have the headspace to do this given the coral reef bleaching crisis. Time to get your priorities straight.

😂😂😂

Do you know how much I paid for a kumquat today?

well, if that is your response, i would suggest the problem is with you, rather than with anyone else

Your privilege is showing @MsLuxLisbon . You do know that some people are DEAD and can't have any opinions, irrelevant or otherwise?

It's an anonymous internet forum, people spout crap. It's light entertainment.

Some of these comments are slaying me, so I'm glad I started the thread!!@SocksAndTheCity

I wish my Nan was still here to be able to give an opinion, even if it was irrelevant.

This isn’t a university dissertation, people just chat shit all day here. That’s literally what MN is for.

Yes some people's responses don't even connect to what the OP was asking.

The colour teal is far superior and has a far wider range of uses than mustard. That's my opinion, don't even try to change my mind.

YABVVU - honestly, I haven’t bothered to read your post properly, or any of your replies, but wtf, LTB. Have you considered homeopathy, eating low carb, and getting a ring doorbell? You may want to consider stretching yourself to the limit so you can be in the catchment area for Harry St Styles Grammar (but do not under any circumstances allow DS to meet anyone else’s DD). Anyone have any recommendations for best holidays in the Bahamas - max £10k per person per day?

Please keep your kumquat privilege to yourself! Don't you know that some people can only afford bog standard easy-peelers?

It does make you wonder about people's comprehension skills.

It's like the threads where people ask do you prefer Emily or Lily for a baby name. And people reply with 'both are horrible. Ew. I like names like Zoe and Clara'.

The OP didn't ask that. They ask which name you prefer of the two.

Easy peelers? Easy PEELERS? Some of us can only dream of easy peelers, we have to sit in the bath (cold water only, of course, can't afford to heat it) and goudge strips off ordinary oranges!

Typical MN put-down from a middle class elitist. You know most people in the real world have never written a university dissertation? If you stopped dismissing normal conversation as "chatting shit", maybe you'd learn something worth knowing.

To be fair, I thought the same when I read your previous post

Me too. The original post by @allgroyellow was useless, pointless and of no purpose or value at all. I would have suggest that they are being knowingly irritating - but based on the doubling down I think they believe they are right!

"why are you having another child with this loser?" This must be one of the stupidest questions on mn. What are they expecting op to do? Shove it back in.
