To wonder how many different ways you can come up with to say YABU to this

[atthewelles]

Just always fascinated by how a post that only seems to have one possible answer ie YANBU can be turned on its head, mis-read, mis-interpreted, taken out of context etc in order that the OP can be told they ABU.

So, to this perfectly obvious YANBU example how many ways can different posters find a YABU angle?


"I was standing at the bus stop yesterday and was first in the queue for the bus. After waiting about twenty minutes the bus came along and was pretty full. The driver said 'one passenger only' and the person behind me pushed me to one side and got on. AIBU to think this was rude, inconsiderate and downright cheeky and to wish I'd said something at the time?"

TheVermiciousKnid, that's just plain rude and out of order!

[TheVermiciousKnid]

It was the dog! Honestly!

I'll give it a go.

Well I would've given you a lift, but it would've meant leaving my dc in nursery, driving you home then turning around driving back & picking up my dc. And all this in a thunderstorm. And i know that no one in their right mind would expect hat! Right?

babies - actually, how did that one end?

OP - if you're not prepared to accept the really good, if robust, support, you've received on this thread, then I really wonder why you bothered to post in the first place.

YABU. She was probably a disabled lesbian Labour voting Muslim. Now go flagellate yourself!

[MagzFarqharson]

How can you be so insensitive OP?

She was more than likely rushing back to confront the man washing his van on her private driveway. Unlike you OP, she has grown a pair.

So yes, YABU!

babies I was saving that one for later, has it gone already?

[BinksToEnlightenment]

She sounds very troubled. OP can you print this thread out and give it to her GP?

Also, you need to volunteer yourself as the local Mumsnetter to go with her. Prepare your hand for a good long holding.

[waltermittymissus]

Is she ok OP?

[RobinSparkles]

I don't know why you lot are bothering to feed the troll!

[zoobaby]

Well it's pretty obvious that you should just LTB, innit? [since this is the one and only time I'll ever advise that course of action then I think it's also worthy].

[jinsymaw]

Op you sound very entitled! Hate that sodding phrase! Haha, do luv the pearl clutching though. Dirty mare, that let young bairn piss int potty ( Pizza Hut thread) dirty b@@:-.,"ds!

Ring the police on the non emergency number.

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

Have you rang the police yet OP?

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

OP?

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

OMFG!! That's the last time I give advice, she hasnt even come back to update and we've all been really supportive to the OP even though she's being Unreasonable and doesn't want to hear it!!!

I'm reporting this thread!!!

Arf @ Alex

Where I live (not the UK, someone unnamed and mysterious) it would have been absolutely fine for the second person in line to have got on the bus (possibly naked).

So, you guessed it, YABU.

[MoonlightandRoses]

Thinking about it, I think we've all been extremely reasonable on this thread by giving the OP exactly what it wants she wanted. So, I am now going to say





























[takes deep breath] YANBU OP.

[MoonlightandRoses]

Hmm - that didn't go entirely the way I meant it to

[fluffywhitekittens]

Odfod

[MoonlightandRoses]

Blast, you mean I just fed the troll OP?

[Goes off to name-change in shame]

[MoonlightandRoses]

Penance, I meant penance! [more 'es]
