Read the Damn Post! AIBU

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?

OP posts:

I sympathise don't give a flying fuck OP, but I really hoped you lot could give me some advice. I'm far to busy to start my own thread and tbh I CBA.
Anyway I'll try not to drip feed. Cheeky fecker next door, real brass neck. You know the type. Penguin bollards identifying as ostrich. Cockwomble DH siding with MIL!

Discuss.

Are you okay op? I've been in tears reading this and haven't been able to sleep. You've been in my thoughts for the last five minutes since I skim read it.

OP has failed to update us on her laundry and goat care habits in the last 4.5 minutes. I suspect hairy hands and some trip-trappyness in the vicinity. Hmm

OpalIridescence · 27/04/2017 21:50

For you justdontFlowers

milkmoustache · 27/04/2017 21:50

Goats. Trolls. Just sayin'.

Awks · 27/04/2017 21:51

Daily Mail >>>>> over here.

Asmoto · 27/04/2017 21:51

I don't blame the neighbours for being annoyed if you let your goat drink champagne naked in your hot tub at midnight while blasting out its transistor radio. Totally unacceptable.

OpalIridescence · 27/04/2017 21:58

I suspected the same thatorchid so obviously I reported Op several times to MNHQ, I then sent a message to Justine (we are super friends, don't tell anyone but I don't even have to pay the monthly subscription fee to post here Wink).

I'm pretty sure you won't be seeing OP round here for a while Halo

TheNoodlesIncident · 27/04/2017 21:58

Wait - WHAT? The goat gets nekkid?!

This has taken an unsavoury turn. Envy

caz323 · 27/04/2017 22:16

Oh God, OP, hope all ok, Hun?? Are you overwhelmed with Goatgate?? Flowers

WarmestRegards Are you new? Everyone knows GOAT means Go Off And Twerk! It's a great stress buster - you should try it!

Haffiana · 27/04/2017 22:16

FFS PEOPLE there is NO such thing as cis goat. There is either a goat or there is a twaj with a cluster of dangly wobbly things in a dress that can run a marathon faster than goats. It is time we BANNED all mention of cis and trans goats ffs.

thatorchidmoment · 27/04/2017 22:22

Opal

I am Justine. Pretty sure I've never met you in my puff.

Stealth boast much?

But good call reporting the OP. Maybe we can be friends after all. I'd go so far as to dub you a Pillar of Mumsnet. I will send you an invitation to our next super secret Mumsnet Royalty awards, and will put in a word for you.

I'm not really Justine.

DancingLedge · 27/04/2017 22:33

Any one else remember the good old days?
Before the hack? Before the GFs?
When it was all fields round here, and only us originals were allowed on MN?

When MN was about children, not goats?

caz323 · 27/04/2017 22:34

Where is JaniceFromAccounts?? Did you manage to pluck up the courage in the end, OP??

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 22:45

Have you tried contacting your local spiritual church? Ghosts in your house can be pretty scary at 1st but also beutiful. Could it be a loved one coming to visit? Or trying tell you something. My good good friends Derek and Yvette are good with ghosts. If you send me just £40.99 I will get them to contact you and I'll throw in a free youniqe lip balm

MargotMoon · 27/04/2017 22:47

Did you try giving the goat the side eye and asking if it meant to be so rude? Hmm

And everyone knows that the only way to calm a llama down is to give it a good hard stare.

Sittinginthesun · 27/04/2017 22:49

Are you sure it's actually dead?

Sittinginthesun · 27/04/2017 22:49

Sorry, wrong thread Blush

DontSweatTheSmallStuff · 27/04/2017 22:58

why only on mumsnet do i automatically translate rtft as 'read the fucking thread' Grin

wageslave · 27/04/2017 23:06

Look it is entirely my choice whether to shave my goat's foof. It's been done any times before on MN, I feel healthier than way and it's my preference

Teatowelfairy · 27/04/2017 23:14

wageslave Each to their own but under NO circumstances apply hair removal cream. I have it on good authority that Immac sets your fanny on fire. Shock

caz323 · 27/04/2017 23:17

Ooh, I love a wooo thread! Goats smoking weed AND JaniceFromAccounts. OMG, I'm in Heaven. Sorry, am I on the right thread?? Actually not RTFT.

wageslave · 27/04/2017 23:19

Yes tea towel but my husband prefers it that way and it feels much cleaner, and NOT Percy

wageslave · 27/04/2017 23:20

Percy! Damn autocorrect, obs I meant pervy. Percy is the name of the goat
