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?

OP posts:

Why are you allowing your dc to pick flowers?
I would have been mortified if I'd have seen that behaviour Angry

TheDevilMadeMeDoIt · 28/04/2017 14:42

It wasn't the DC, it was the goat. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
She thought it was breakfast. And anyway, she's only seven.

DancingLedge · 28/04/2017 14:46

Goat's not 7, s/he's 98 months! FRS rtft!!
It really gets my alpaca when posters can't be bothered to trft

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 15:13

Jeez people

gets my goat is a turn of phrase! Confused

I can't believe we have got through 404 posts and no one has pointed this out.

No wonder the country is going to the dogs.

Emmageddon · 28/04/2017 15:16

What have the dogs got to do with anything?

I haven't RTFT but hey...

SumThucker · 28/04/2017 15:21

A turn of phrase where? Confused

You must be Northern with a regional accent. I've never heard it pronounced like that before, so it must be wrong.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 15:27

I don't think I have mentioned my Oxbridge degree. I also went to a super selective school in a very rough area and my father is an astrophysicist. I assure you gets my goat is a nationally recognised phrase.

We really need to stop pussy footing around this.

ILookedintheWater · 28/04/2017 15:31

Oh god..a flood? How awful for you OP. I hope you managed to dry everything out OK and the goat wasn't too traumatized. Flowers

Ginslinger · 28/04/2017 15:38

I hope those dogs are on a lead

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 15:41

Because PPs are unnecessarily fixated in Goats : looking at you caz and thucker - everyone seems to have missed that OP needs help in chilling her overheated fuck out and that she is betraying signs of glaucoma , as she mentions in her OP that's she is blinking

OP, I recommend an immediate call to 101 for the glaucoma,;ignoring everything they say head straight for A and E.

As for chilling your fuck out , you really shouldn't have allowed it to overheat in the first place. I only ever steam my fucks lightly and gently.

SumThucker · 28/04/2017 15:46

I only ever read the opening line in the OP.

Anything else is redundant.

I agree the blinking and overheating could be pointing towards an underlying condition though.

GP. Now.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 28/04/2017 15:56

It's probably not even a goat.

Most likely it's s slobbering Beast of a dog and OP can't be arsed to keep it under control at it looks in the direction of young children whether the fancy takes it.

Shame on you, OP.

caz323 · 28/04/2017 16:02

ILikeBeans - Eh???? Where did that come from? OP doesn't even have a goat! It's her DH'S goatee beard she's on about.

I am here literally and I mean literally crying buckets here that you have targeted me like that. Admittedly, I've not RTFT but hey - was that really necessary? YABU.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 16:04

Oh sorry Caz, I'm having a mare.

I confused you with a different poster.

Cupofteaandtoilet · 28/04/2017 16:38

Bloody hard to get goat in the sticks Angry so ordered mutton. Ocado only went & delivered fucking LAMB! AngryAngry

Anyway, OP, very hard to give you the benefit of my vast experience if you don't give us all the info. How old is DD and did you feed her tinned baby food?

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 16:55

Cup , have you tried Aldi? I pop in there sometimes for squid and falafel and find they have an excellent range of iberico also.

although last time I went someone commented on my trolley contents which was most vulgar

Vonklump · 28/04/2017 17:02

I have just read through 10 pages of this thread thinking how much I fancy a goat curry. Blush

OP, my DG taught the DC to read. Just saying.

Vonklump · 28/04/2017 17:02

🐐

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 17:13

Are you allowed to eat goat when you are pregnant, does anyone know? I should have mentioned that I am pregnant and can, therefore state things with no proof or evidence and be completely irrational and unpredictable at all times

OP, I don't think this thread should be in AIBU. I think you should move it to relationships where you might get better advice on nap times.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 17:14

klump you cannot comment as there are 17 pages. Please RTWT.

Emmageddon · 28/04/2017 17:15

I'm actually crying here, real tears pouring down my face, because the OP hasn't posted an update recently and I think she might have given up the ghost goat

BenadrylCucumberpatch · 28/04/2017 17:20

You've conveniently forgot to mention, do you put the goat on a lead for walks?

I know my park has a 'No Dogs Allowed' sign, but worryingly, it doesn't say anything about No Goats.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 28/04/2017 17:21

I am hoping she went straight to A and E Emma as advised on pages 1, 2,5 , 7, 8. 10, 12 , 13 ,14 and 16.

We haven't heard form her since 15:04 and Fridays will be very busy.

You can't possibly expect her to be updating MN whilst on a hospital trolley?? How selfish.

Am I correct OP? Please confirm.

londonmummy1966 · 28/04/2017 17:38

Not RTT but assuming OP has gone to prepare a mumsnet chicken for the goat's supper.

Spoog1971xx · 28/04/2017 17:53

I think you need your hrt adjusting 😜
