I agree, makes me want to post some random tit so I can type my family members names in full. The huns would be livid and I’d be getting a doughnut emoji thrown my way.
I once had a really bad experience when buying a house. I still to this day can’t believe how rude and unprofessionally it was handled. To cut a long story short we think the estate agents friend wanted it too and they wouldn’t put our offer in. In my absolute despair I turned to aibu to ask for some advice as they all come across as being “clued up”. What a stupid mistake that was. To be fair the first couple of posters were mega helpful and then they just started jumping on me being REALLY personal it was like feeding time at the zoo 
it was a wreck of a house that needed a full upgrade (electrics, plumbing, possible structural work) with potential farm land that we wanted to look at. One poster claimed to be an estate agent and said there’s no way she’d let me buy the house because I took over 20 minutes to view it wtaf!! Apparently that made me every estate agents nightmare client, needy and a pain in the a so no wonder she broke her industry code. Only on mumsnet do you make the biggest purchase of your life in 20 minutes!
Id read that mumsnet admin don’t really ever pull posts but they wiped it off straight away so even they must have been shocked.

Especially when it's in the context of "finally leaving my abusive DH" or the like. No need for the D, surely?
Some poster is now saying that noisy eaters shouldn’t go out in public if they can’t eat nicely without smacking their mouth when they eat. Already someone has told her to look up misophonia as she might have it. A lot of posters claim they have misophonia.
I am claiming that I have misophonia too. Noisy eaters give me the rage. I have to move.
My brother has it and he has to turn over TV channels if someone is eating loudly. Whenever I eat at his, he insists on having the TV on to block out the noise. He describes it as sounds hurting him.
They are so entitled. Whinging endless about normal neighbourly noise. For example I wouldn’t dream of complaining about a baby crying or a child playing in their back garden, nor would I complain about someone listening to the radio in the back garden in summer. They seem to expect complete silence all the time, but when you live in close proximity to others you have to expect some noise. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a Victorian terrace where we could hear the next door neighbours TV through the wall and hear them opening and closing their kitchen cupboard doors (they could hear us doing the same), but it never entered our heads to complain and to be honest you only noticed it when it was really quiet anyway. If you want complete silence you need to move to a detached property, though they’d probably find fault with the neighbours there as well

It’s funny, but I would have thought if you had a problem with noise, you shouldn’t move somewhere “silent” like a rural detached because anything that breaks it will drive you batty.
In the country, animals make a colossal racket for big chunks of the year and there are always people making their presence felt (neighbours / farmers / overhead planes if you’re within 30miles of an airfield / live rounds if near a hunting trail or military base etc.)
You’re best off moving somewhere with a constant “hum” like the whooshing white noise of a dual carriageway or motorway - I live near one and it does cancel most noise including a lot of low level base / garden noise / dogs whining.
But it’s hard to be snobby when an A or M road is within hearing distance.
I remember a thread where a poster said that she and her husband were going away to their holiday home for a long weekend. DS who was 17 refused to come and she wondered if it was fair to leave him alone to look after her DD. It went on and on and somebody asked how old DD was. 6 apparently. Lots of posters saying that it was unfair to expect a 17 year old lad to mind his little sister for a long weekend.
Only then did it transpire that it wasn't her 'Darling Daughter', but her 'Darling DOG'!
I made the very very stupid mistake of posting on there for advice a few weeks ago (was desperate and not thinking clearly) and got torn apart, accused of drip feeding, and eventually just abandoned the thread, I have no idea how it concluded or if I got genuine help in the end but I don’t want to go back and wade through the replies to look. The only reason I posted there and not here or anywhere else is because of the anonymity with the name change feature but then got accused of being a troll with no posting history.
i remember similar with “missing DH’ (Darling Hamster). Oh, how many drinks were snorted and keyboards ruinedI remember a thread where a poster said that she and her husband were going away to their holiday home for a long weekend.

I originally thought DH meant fool Head instead of Darling Husband.
The hysteria over people enjoying Halloween and demanding sweets!
Im going to go on there one day and ask if it’s unreasonable that my (non existent) child’s favourite breakfast is McDonald’s.
They're not mutually exclusive!
They’re so joyless about every single occasion - Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas. They don’t even have to open their doors to trick or treaters or even put a pumpkin 
out if they don’t want to participate.
out if they don’t want to participate.
The annoying thing about the DH DS etc thing is when there's more than one word it could be so they have to add more letters... DSis, DSIL, DDog. Surely it's easier just to type the word!
How would you know they liked them then?
oh I dunno, I quite like Ddog, basically because she is easily the most loveable person in this house...
