To be driven crazy by a few very, very common expressions on Mumsnet?

[Pineapplesonpizza]

Here are two to start with:

"Just that really." after the initial title of the post, sometimes accompanied by shrug emoji.

The word "surely".

Do you have any that irrationally irritate you?

Ooooh yeah 'peri!' 😠 I instantly hide any thread with peri in the title!

Likewise.

Yes!

The worst are

”use your words”

”ducks in a row”

”first post nails it”

On the dedicated Christmas Threads :

"You know it's July , yeah"?

"Nope , because it's still July "

"I'm confused , what's a Christmas Eve Hamper" ?

"Let me get this straight - you buy presents for Christmas Eve ? As well as actual Christmas"?

"What exactly is Christmas Bedding"? (Oh if only there was a way to find out )

Everything being vile

People saying they just snorted a drink through their nose over something that’s just mildly amusing.
It’s not used as much now but it was quite common a few months ago.

I’ve snorted a drink through my nose laughing maybe once or twice in my life. The rate people used to comment saying it made it seem a regular occurrence.
it was never about anything really laugh out loud funny either.

I agree with the shaking and crying.
Again it’s used for something minor and just unnecessary hyperbole.

"Do you have health anxiety OP?"
Seen this often in response to posters seeking advice on health related problems and it irritates me so much as it comes across as belittling, patronizing and not in the least bit helpful!

How is it ‘intolerant’ not to like the word ‘ick’? It’s just a preference.

I hate it when a poster asks us to 'be honest' 😂If someone was going to be dishonest in their answer, they're not going to change it now they've been instructed!

Also I hate it when a post title is deliberately vague or filled with ...... Just to try and entice us to open it. When it works on me I get really annoyed with myself!

Agree with the 'I would have done this that or the other', unhelpful and usually untrue.

Seeking or recommending the ‘Holy grail’ of anything.

‘my DH is a <insert job role>’ therefore I am supremely qualified to advise on this subject.

I absolutely f hate "think". As in "my husband plays a team sport, think rugby" Just f say what it is, Sandra, no one gives a shit what sport your husband plays.

I always think of Linda on Gimme Gimme Gimme saying it to Tom and can’t hear it any other way in my head.

Me too.

A ridiculous phrase.

A thread about some form of animal abuse which will have "Oh , I hope you're a Vegan "

You don;t have to be a vegan to care

‘I just spat out my tea…’ over something marginally interesting/amusing/shocking

Agree, ending a sentence with no? Is very irritating. Also much, as in “jealous, much?”. Doesn’t make sense.

im also irritated by all the cod psychology. A while ago everyone seemed to be a narcissist, or gaslighting, at the moment it seems to be boundaries and DARVO.

Why do you all use the forum so often when you know how much it annoys you? 🤣

I also hate on a thread celebrating a fab person/film/whatever when someone comes on saying "I've never heard of them/it" as if there are not 6 billion other threads they could be contributing to instead.

all the ‘outing’ hobbies

Are a lot of people here new to the internet or don't go on other sites? As much of this is common outside Mumsnet.

I guess that depends on your love language ...... 😀

One of the simple pleasures in my life is being so irritated with things and giving off about it. So satisfying

"Fast forward until today" when that last word would have done the job perfectly well.

I hate "yay or nay", because nobody seems to know any more that it should be YEA or nay.
