Read the Damn Post! AIBU

526 replies

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 12:17

This really gets my goat and I probably need to chill the fuck out but I find it so annoying!

Someone will post an AIBU e.g.
DD (9) has done X,Y & Z, I think she is old enough to know better DH disagrees and she is just a kid still WIBU?

Followed by a flood of posters - How old is DD? What age is your daughter? etc....

Sometimes the answer to the question is in the thread title FGS [facepalm]

Some threads are long, I get that but at least read the blinking OP before responding! AIBU and this is something I shouldn't care about?

Not U, but can't actually make other people do anything about it!

Does my head in too!

How long have you kept a goat? What's getting it? If things are after your livestock, you need better fencing.

Bee Grin goat is 87 months and lives free range I don't believe in restricting movement, it is tantamount to goat abuse imo

How old is the goat op?

Ginslinger · 27/04/2017 12:28

so you have a goat that's supplied by the government and you can't be bothered to keep it tethered. Won't anyone think of the grass?

Vroomster · 27/04/2017 12:30

Why has your DD not learnt the rest of the alphabet? And how old is she?

SumThucker · 27/04/2017 12:31

Why do you allow it to affect your goat? Hmm

DD is 9 or 108 months. She did A - W last year.

Goat needs freedom, my goat my rulz hun.

LoveMyLittleSuperhero · 27/04/2017 12:33

Is there any reason you started at the end of the alphabet with your DD?
resists making joke about 2 kids

ymmv · 27/04/2017 12:33

I haven't read the thread but really feel like I should mention the goat.

redexpat · 27/04/2017 12:36

I never understood why teachers would stress through gritted teeth "read the exam question properly" until i read so many mn threads.

InfiniteSheldon · 27/04/2017 12:37

Yabu you should be heating your fuck outs. If you chill them it is very damaging for the environment are you a climate change denier by any chance?

FadedRed · 27/04/2017 12:37

Have you thought about cancelling the cheque, Op?

ThisAintALoveSong · 27/04/2017 12:37

This whole thread is funny! Grin

Yes OP it is annoying when people don't read the post properly.

Goat is 7 and quater and has no name! Shock

Can you help me whittle my list down as we have been stuck at 7 names for a long time and can't quite settle!

Seraphina
Clarence
Yggdrasil
Faith-Beau-Mae
Ollyvia
Rain
Sue

Needs to go with a 5 syllable surname and DD (9) has a top 100 name.

OP posts:
SumThucker · 27/04/2017 12:39

How do you pronounce Sue?

Original poster
HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 12:40

The "Su" is silent.

isittheholidaysyet · 27/04/2017 12:43

I know absolutely nothing about goats.
We once saw one in a farm park.

I think that makes me qualified to comment.

YANBU

(you guys always make me chuckle)

GnusSitOnCanoes · 27/04/2017 12:45

Is the goat on glue?

SumThucker · 27/04/2017 12:45

I'm voting for Yggdrasil. You'd always have to tell people how to pronounce Sue.

CotswoldStrife · 27/04/2017 12:52

Do you often disagree with your DH? Does he overrule you all the time or is it his mother? LTB and go to Maui.

Or insert other me-rail of choice here Grin

Ginslinger · 27/04/2017 12:53

have you logged it with 101?

TheWeevilincidentof2009 · 27/04/2017 12:54

YANBU. Anyway, enough about you.

I'll tell you what gets my goat: people addressing previous poster with an @ before their name. It's MumsNet not Twitter!!!
