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?

Your goat is clearly having an emotional affair.

I've never said this before but I think you should LTB.

SumThucker · 27/04/2017 13:43

I reported the thread ages ago, I've done an AS and OP has made no mention of a goat before.

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 13:45

YABU forcing your vegan dd to eat goat!
Have you tried soya milk?
I've never eaten goat and I can do perfectly good algebra. Maybe 9 is a bit young for advanced maths

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 13:46

I have NC for this obviously, it is very outing and I don't want my goat to end up in the mail!

You should be able to feed 213 people but won't smoked goat be a bit chewy?

rollonthesummer · 27/04/2017 13:47

If you don't tell us how old your goat is, how can you expect people to help you! FFS.

Doublevodkaredbull · 27/04/2017 13:50

Haven't read the thread but you need to go NC with MIL if she's going to keep logging your ewe with 101.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 27/04/2017 13:50

So far OP you've said your goat is 87mths, Seven and a quarter years and 7&1/4 . How can you expect us to help you when you've given three, quite clearly not the same, oh no, ages? Oh btw call the goat Curry.

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 13:52

You've obviously got MIL issues!
Think there is more to this than your letting on op. I'm starting to wonder if you even have a goat. I've kept goats all my life so I think I know more about it than you.
And saying dg only smokes the off cuben? Well that's good but no cigar.

DancingLedge · 27/04/2017 13:55

I think this is actually a PBG
(previously banned goat)

trulybadlydeeply · 27/04/2017 13:57

Have you thought about booking a spa day?

Fruitcocktail6 · 27/04/2017 14:00

Interesting first post Hmm

And if you can't afford it, you just need to move out of London

Ciderandskatesdontmix · 27/04/2017 14:00

This isn't really about the goat is it? I think it's a bit of a red herring....

typical AIBU thread...op-aibu? Rest of NM- yes YABU op- no I'm not!!

ncrant · 27/04/2017 14:04

Well, for a start OP, It's clear that you hate your stepkids.

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:05

Well I am CLEARLY Not U as out of nearly 90 posts at least one person has agreed with me.

OP posts:
GwenStaceyRocks · 27/04/2017 14:06

I think you should write to the Board of Governors. They're waiting avidly for a letter about a goat.

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:07

I am going to contact OFSTED and then log it with 101

OP posts:
trulybadlydeeply · 27/04/2017 14:10

It's people like you who put a strain on the NHS Angry. There's a reason it's called Accident and Emergency.

Emmageddon · 27/04/2017 14:10

I thought trollhunting wasn't allowed?

But FWIW I agree with @SumThucker and @Fruitcocktail6 - something doesn't add up here.

But at least the cheque has been cancelled and the whole debacle has been logged with 101.

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 14:10

I would have to suggest you all cut off contact complete with your mil. Mainly because I don't get along with my mil so all mil's are the heathen.
There's absolutely no point in trying to talk this through because MY mil is a dick and a complete narc who would do anything to split me and dh up and run away with my kids so I imagine your mil is exactly the same.
By the sounds of it your goat wasn't breast fed so that's why she's behaving this way.

Teatowelfairy · 27/04/2017 14:13

Pp are giving you some really good advice so there's no need to be arsey! And what's with all the drip feeds? Hmm

thecatsarecrazy · 27/04/2017 14:15

You don't have a mil problem you have a husband problem

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 14:15

Well I think this a TAAT.

Reported.

GreenHillsSunnySkies · 27/04/2017 14:17

Yes, you should provide laundry on the line for your goat to eat but fresh laundry not laundry that's been left out overnight and got fucking darked on - no wonder the poor things's wasting away, it's not rocket science ffs!!

KatnissNeverdone · 27/04/2017 14:17

Can you not park the goat somewhere else? What does your husband say about it all?
