To be fair, if I had to measure my arse then the hectare would be appropriate.

For some strange reason, posters who do that obviously think it makes them look clever.
Similarly if someone uses a phrase or heaven forbid a colloquialism, it attracts them like flies to dung.
'What do you mean, OP, I have never heard of <insert word or phrase that can easily be figured out from the context>'
x 100.
I have been trying to research why my toddler doesn’t eat and came across a thread of someone saying the OP was just fussy and she doesn’t have fussy children because she reheats the same meal over and over at every meal time often for days until they eat it
When Shannon Matthews went missing and her mother reported it to the police, the call handler asked Karen Matthews ‘what do they call her?’ and the over analysis of that phrase went on FOREVER on MN. They were just asking what her name was, but in regional terms! It ticked the boxes of 1) the MN forensic analysts are on the caseFor some strange reason, posters who do that obviously think it makes them look clever.

2) not understanding that people who live outside of London have different phrasing for things and it’s not that bleeping deep 
I hate the people on most of those fussy eaters threads... "no kid will ever starve itself" "disguise veggies in a sauce" "never give in, they'll eat eventually" blah de bleeping blah. They've never met mine!
I did get pissed off with an American though who posted a complicated tale about the temperature in her house, throwing in random numbers “it’s 20 below at night”. Couldn’t figure out whether she was living in the Antarctic or somewhere more normal, or what she meant at all.For some strange reason, posters who do that obviously think it makes them look clever.

she was asked repeatedly to clarify whether she meant 20 degrees below 0 Celsius, 20 degrees C, 20 degrees f, or what. Even when pointed out most mn are uk based and used C, that confused them even more.
Didn’t have a clue. Still no idea on whether she’s freezing her arse off in the far reaches of an Alaskan winter.

Bulk them up with lentils and fill their hollow legs. Or something..
I feel sorry for anyone genuinely seeking advice on there, it's trolled so much.
me tryna work it outcan’t wait to buy one for my 67 month old - she’ll love it!
Let's face it they don't mean old fashioned they mean lower class. They're that obsessed with class they're using curtains as class markers
so irritating isn’t it
he defo does not eat eventually and is more than happy to starve him self or he’d not be on the 0.2 percentile 
Hi everyone, I’ve not posted on this thread before and I’ve skimmed a few pages back and not seen this mentioned, but sorry if you’ve already discussed it!
I love my twice daily mumsnet-scroll ritual, I think it’s genuinely a really great place for support on certain topics if the thread stays small/respectful, but the rest of it just makes me howl
anyway, my current gripe - has anyone noticed there’s a specific poster going on loads of AIBU threads and passive-aggressively saying they should have posted on another board and not AIBU? I’m desperate to tell them to get a life it’s a bloody message board, who cares? Besides, there’s topics for literally everything - if everyone posted only on the specifically relevant topic then there’d be no posts left in AIBU

I like reading out the trending topics to whoever is around just to see their reaction - and deciding which one to click on first.
Just now there's
- Doctors ignoring me
- These messages are not innocent right
- Standing for women Glasgow 5th Feeb
- Taking a house you don't really want
- Drunk teen shouldn't be in paeds A&E
My daughter (sorry, DD) had a nursery pal whose grandparents were extremely MNetty, we met them at the park one day and they asked how old mine was, I told them something like “she’s 3 at the end of June” and they nodded away and said something like “you mean she’s 32 and a half months then?” Nope, I meant she was somewhere between her 2nd and 3rd birthday and I wasn’t about to give them her age in months because I stopped doing that after she hit 1.5.

I do think there's merit in encouraging posters to realise that there's a lot more to the site than AIBU. It might revitalise quieter sections, posters might actually get decent advice and maybe it might even discourage the endless trolling and the 'I speak as I find' types.
That's something for the actual mods though to attempt, of course, not the would-be ones.
On the husband is having an affair thread. She hasn’t suggested she’s in the Middle East, she’s probs in the UK like 90% of Mumsnet. So you think it’s helpful to post a what if post with a constructed narrative just in case?

But there's a photo and everything! To be honest, it just looks like an infected spot. I don't see how it's caused her to lose tons of weight though. It's not pressing on her jaw. She needs to stick a needle in it and give it a good squeeze
Anyone read the Islamic divorce one in relationships? Woman sounds as mad as a hatter and/or trying to provoke anti muslim feeling. She's had some really good advice but seems to be ignoring it all.
