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?

Nrtwt. But could you cancel the check?
Maybe book a spa day?
Also I think moving out of London will help.
If nothing eles works there's always OFSTED. Even phoning 101 could be a good start. As a last resort though. You could always try talking to her.

Your goat can't go in the mail.

There isn't a Jiffy Bag big enough. You'll need a courier

I think quite frankly your goat is a drama llama.

The acronym RTFP/Q/T was made for issues like this.

GwenStaceyRocks · 27/04/2017 14:23

Did your DH tell you it was a goat? From your description, it sounds more like an alpaca. I'd be worried that your DH is trying to hide the true nature of his relationship with the alpaca farmer. It's time to install a tracker on his phone.

YellowBucket · 27/04/2017 14:23

OP I don't want my goat to end up in the mail!

I should think not! Popping the odd DCat or Ddog in the postal system is one thing but you have to provide the correct transportation for a DGoat! Ours has a helicopter on call.
You really should have thought this through...

I think your being totally judgemental. You no nothing about my life. ( not like I make a thread about every single thing that happens)
I would never make such a person judgment on someone I know nothing about going of a few comments.
But tbh your hair doesn't suit you.
Your bathroom tiles are dated you missed an apostrophe in your op so clearly uneducated and therefore not even entitled to an opinion. And your maths isn't even that good. ABC doesn't equal XYZ!

SumThucker · 27/04/2017 14:37

FFS FunnyFarmer RTFT, no-one mentioned your MIL.

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:39

WIBU to leave the DGoat in the garden while I pop to the shops to pick up a parcel?

Shop is 5 seconds away and DGoat is very sensible, we do have a very deep fish pond, but I think all goats float right?

Our neighbours' DGoat keeps parking his helicopter across our driveway.

Has anyone asked for a diagram yet?

I need a diagram so on those grounds YABVU

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:45

I would have thought a helicopter was a bit on the PFGoat side,

I don't want to stifle my DGoat, Xe has to grow up sometime!

MusicToMyEars800 · 27/04/2017 14:48

Yanbu! I gives me mild rage too, I read through a post and the responses and some of the questions or replies are just wtf! read the post properly! is what goes through my mind.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 14:48

ps I do know someone already saked for a diagram on about page 2 and my diagram post was a joke repetition and am now genuinely anxious that if someone says RFTF to me they will actually mean RTFT. And at what point will RTFTers actually want people to RTFT???!!

This is getting very meta and my head hurts

crosses something out just because that's what we do

DancingLedge · 27/04/2017 14:49

OMFGHairspray everyone knows it illegal to leave a goat alone before it's 19th birthday!!!!

I can't believe you're do that!!!!!

you're probably not properly bonded because you failed to wear your goat continuously until s/he was 6

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:50

Ketchup Did you not RTFT??? Wink

We are all taking things very seriously here I think!

SumThucker · 27/04/2017 14:50

RTFT ILike

DancingLedge · 27/04/2017 14:51

Sorry I couldn't be arsed to check my own typing, so I'll have a moan about no edit on my phone

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 14:53

hangs head in shame.

Goes back to RTFT

My local MP is a Tory and she is actually very good with the lower working classes and goats so I have no idea why you lefties are shouting at me. Momentum blah.

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:54

OH God now I feel horribly guilty, I just fed DGoat some homemade pasta with hand ground vegan pesto so that was a shite lazy meal and now I find out that I should have been goat wearing until at least last year and I stopped wearing her at 4 years!!!! Shock

I am a terrible goat mummy, someone please call the NSPCGoats!

DalaHorse · 27/04/2017 14:56

What is it that you think your dd is old enough to do? You've left that out of your op. Please learn to write a post properly instead of complaining people don't read it properly.

whosahappyharry · 27/04/2017 14:58

OP why aren't you answering any pp's questions?

Also, how old is DGoat?

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 14:58

I don't want to be more specific Dala It is very outing, it involved her hobby.
