If I could ban one type of thread from this website…

[iCod]

… It would be one's asking about trousers on flights.

Bearing in mind I've been on here over 20 years, Lived through all the baby pasta, the baby modelling threads and all that crap, that yet this one never dies.

I think it's more than even mother of a bride theme because more people are obsessed with what trousers to wear sitting down for a few hours.
What type of thread always makes you roll your eyes?

(Special points for people who say threats like the one we're on now, very good well done 😃)

Anything where the OP simply won’t accept the advice 999 posts have given her and instead clings to the 1 post that agrees with her

Threads with little to no info in the opening post and the OP doesn't return for hours.

Just pages and pages of guessing and speculation.

Totally pointless.

All excellent nominations, and both passed by the committee

Wind ups with 1 post from the OP and 800 posts with people repeating the same advice.

Well the answer is always leggings!

I struggle with people who are in the midst of obvious awful health anxiety as I used to suffer from it and worked really hard to overcome it by taking doctors advice and stopping googling! People who are repeatedly told what they need to do to improve their lives and then not doing it trigger me a bit. Sorry that’s a bit heavier than what should I wear or my flight to marbs 😬

I can’t think of anything else I hate seeing but I’ve removed all the boards I have no interest in. My kids are grown, I have. I interest in other peoples pregnancies or their children 😆

Any one where the OP obviously doesn't like the replies they're getting so never returns.

Threads trying to get round the restrictions on the Sex board.

The lost or out of date passport when the holiday is imminent......zero planning....

Southern schools threads e.g Edmonton Girls ( made up) its just very twee and privileged. Not the norm for most people. Very niche ignorant bubble.

Nonsense - those are the best ones!

For me it would be politics ones. I would really like to have a proper discussion about politics but every single thread on the subject descends - usually before page 1 is done - into the same old slinging of soundbites back and forth, with precious little in the way of facts, and generally a lot more heat than light being generated.

Anything to do with inheritance.

Most of them are just stealth boasts.

Loads of them are up north.

I've never seen one about trousers on flights and been on here for 21 years!!! For me it would be any goady posts that get loads of response and then deleted after 12 hours or so as the poster 'is not what they seem'.

People having a massive drama about very little. 🙄

Non-AIBU questions in AIBU.

Also irrationally irritating.

Of often doesn't return at all

i I assume they're AI 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any where the OP or subsequent posters use ‘bring’ instead of ‘take’.

Exhibit A: ‘Should I bring my husband with me when I go to the hospital?’ TAKE! Should I TAKE my husband.

Exhibit B: ‘My husband is refusing to bring me to the hospital’. TAKE!! He’s refusing to TAKE YOU.

Exhibit C: ‘You should get your husband to bring you to the hospital’. TAKE!!! He should TAKE YOU to an event in the FUTURE.

Oh. That feels good. Thanks OP for bringing this up 😉

Any menopause thread that uses the work 'tweak'. It makes me scream. Adult women who want to tweak their HRT. NO! Change your HRT by all means. But you are an adult. You don't need to tweak anything.

Also ref trousers on flights. Must be cuffed. Never leggings (bloating and cramps due to the compression). 😁

Every AMA thread.

Ones containing errant apostrophes, terrible spelling and bad grammar.

Tedious threads where the OP never returns.

Threads containing repeated use of 'brought' when 'bought' is meant. They do NOT mean the same thing.

One of my huge peeves, it's creeping in everywhere

Surely that’s a regional thing though?

Either the 'how old do you think I am' ones or 'how old do you think my child is from their drawing/writing '. Utter tedium. I do scroll by but just why?

Oh God I feel the same about those!

Mostly self-important twaddle, probably by those who missed the influencer boat.
