Your favourite unreasonable AIBU?

[Fulbe]

There are so many wonderful examples of these, please share your favourites. Bonus points for links.

I remember one when OP was annoyed if the cost of children's birthday gifts weren't higher than the cost of hosting the party per child.

And the classic from a few weeks ago when OP thought it was ok to block the shared driveway and thought their neighbour who lived at the end was the unreasonable one.

I bet there are better ones out there though...

This was absolute gold. I remember it so well and can't believe it was so long ago!.

Hardly important now is it?

Oh I'd forgotten about this one, this was so ridiculous. I wonder if they talk to the OP now.

The woman who wanted her step daughter to stay in a hotel at Christmas because her adult children were too sensitive to noise. And then drip fed in that the house was actually mortgage free due to first wife’s (step daughters mother) untimely death and was the step daughters family home where she grew up

Anything with a diagram, preferably hand drawn

If not, a photo

I disagree - despite the ultimate betrayal and tragic end of the Franks and their companions, the historical account of mundane details of daily life in the Annexe as documented by Anne, and discussion in the 21st Century about what life was like in hiding, remains very important.

This kind of detail brings to life the realities for Jews in German-occupied countries in a way that second-hand accounts or factual information can never do, and will continue to do so, hopefully, for new generations of people to whom 'WW2' will be something in the distant past rather than something their parents or grandparents lived through.

My favourite from yonks ago so can't find it...

Family have been on an outing, lots of them in either an estate car with lots of seats in the back or a minivan. Kids, siblings, mum, dad, granny, aunt etc. Arrive home, everyone piles out, but the wife/Mum who is sat in the back doesn't. She stays sat in the car/van for some reason. They all go inside and no one comes back out to say to her 'come on, get out the car' so she stays sat there and no one in her family cares about her and that she is still in the back of the minivan and how dare they leave her in the car/van that she can get out of, but doesn't!

There were some cracking replies! It really was Where's Kevin Home Alone except this was a grown woman.... 😂

Let me find the links. Two threads by the same user who is annoyed that her DIL won’t make as much of a fuss for her as the DIL does for her own mother.

One was called “should the mothers be treated the same” and she was annoyed her DIL and DIL’s siblings arranged a nice mother’s day lunch for their mother but did nothing for OP.

OP did not criticise her own son however. Only
her DIL….

😂😂😂

Are there threads being confused? She does not appear to be blaming the kids. Just sad about being a single mom.

WTAF! I don't think that I've ever said this in my entire life, but now feels like the right moment....'Now I've seen everything!'. I thought it was a piss take until I looked at the FB page. My, oh my. 100% certified bonkers.

I can’t find it but it was AGES ago and something about a date but the woman wasn’t there and the man was all set to meet - maybe at the zoo?

This one?

Nothing, NOTHING in life will ever top the husband and the university assignment one. I read that sitting on a train and I'm sure the other passengers must have thought something terrible had happened, from my helpless tears (of laughter).

But the thread appears to have been removed so it lives now, much like Jack from Titanic, only in my memory. 🎻 🚢

I think the OP is definitely playing everyone.
Asking her SIL to leave the house, burning the dinosaurs and the whole family disowning SIL.
Think she just found the FB page and decided to troll Mumsnet.

I've done that jigsaw!

No, it wasn't.

This Mum was sobbing in the back of the car after getting home that no one in her big family party had noticed she hadn't got out the minivan.
It was bonkers, and when asked 'why didn't you get out and go in the house' she wouldn't answer! It was really funny

Thanks for sharing - that's hilarious! I'd read about it but never seen it for myself until now, haha!

Also special mention to the posters who:

• wanted to entertain guests on her driveway because she felt it was rude of anyone to expect to be admitted to her house

• felt it was rude of her neighbour to expect the offer of giving her SHOPPING a ride home in the car to extend to the physical personage of the neighbour too

• felt it was highly unreasonable of a neighbour who had taken in a package for the OP not to be the one to go over and drop it off. Point blank refused to accept it was the parcel owner's responsibility to go and collect

As far as I remember, these were all separate people.

I can’t find the one I loved - but it was a woman complaining about her sister’s “destination wedding” and how unreasonable she was not to just get married at home. The usual wedding haters on MN all piled in to agree the sister was wrong, then it turned out the sister and her husband to be actually lived in this other country, this wedding was happening in the town they lived in, I think possibly walking distance from their home.

The poster wouldn’t have it her sister wasn’t having a destination wedding, and thought it was insane to suggest the location that counted as “home” for her sister who had emigrated wouldn’t be the same as the town they both grew up in. Didn’t help that other posters who had only read the OP and not updated kept adding to the “I hate destination weddings” which the OP took as proof she was right, but wouldn’t accept her sister wasn’t having a destination wedding.

it was very interesting how many people did agree with the OP though and didn’t see the sister as having emigrated but just “working overseas” with the assumption that “home” would always be the town you grew up in.

There is a completely bonkers one today in AIBU.

It's called 'Height'

I am 🫨 at how the OP is beside herself at the height she was measured in the doctors and wants it corrected or she will be devastated to be 5ft4 not 5ft6 and she's not going to take the measurement because she wants to be tall and she only admires tall women.

I'm beginning to think it must be made up

I’ll have to try and find it

This one's trending right now:

There was another one like this where a boyfriend hadn’t paid an extra £1 to have the thicker ribbon option for his girlfriend’s valentine bouquet so he clearly didn’t love her.

Can't find it but the woman who was going to a nice restaurant. She googled it and under 5s were not permitted in the main dining room but were welcome in the bar area.

Naturally, she turned up with her baby as apparently under 5 does not mean no babies. I think she wanted to leave a bad review as they wouldn't let them in the dining room but did find a table for them in the bar area.

She was adamant that she was right and all the posters telling her she was unreasonable were in the wrong.
