It's like a movement of the head to one side, usually use when speaking in a sarcastic or patronising way to someone

Or like a small dog who hears a high pitched whistle
And it's always trotted out as 'advice' as though whoever is posting it thinks it's truly original and earth shattering.I love when people tell people to say this
I sometimes want to ask have they tried it but, then again, every other poster on there rushes to post threads rather than clearing up the simplest of situations because they 'hate confrontation'...
There was one yesterday, something to do with a boyfriend not having paid his share of a particular bill.
Why would she not simply ask HIM about it!
Talk to him you mean? Horror! I have no idea how some people get through the day to be honest, they’re like ‘I’ve been married to my husband for 25 years, together 28, we have three kids and he was in the room watching every birth, I cared for him after his vasectomy, I was there for him when his parents were horrifically killed and he nursed me through breast cancer so we are very close and open usually. He ate the last of the bourbons I was saving to eat while I watch Corrie tonight and I don’t know how to mention it and ask him to pop to Tesco for another packet’.And it's always trotted out as 'advice' as though whoever is posting it thinks it's truly original and earth shattering.

LTB and don't look back!
The answers to that would range from:
‘LTB’
to
‘Tesco bourbons? Don’t you know that Tesco’s employ 8 month old babies to make the little holes in those biscuits? You’re a murderer by association’
to
‘His parents died! God, can’t he even eat a biscuit without you getting on the poor blokes back!’
Along with 96 pages of ‘just ask him to nip the shops’ and ‘haven’t RTFT, but have you thought about asking him to the nip to the shop?’. Two days later, after featuring on several online news sites, it would have run into three separate threads after which MN would take it down for ‘a look behind the scenes’ because it was a troll.
I think they all take part in American Civil War Re-enactments - it costs a lot of money and is very time consuming and is something that is almost 100% male dominated. They also take it very very very seriously. My friend's brother does it and he nearly punched me when I asked if he was playing soldiers at the weekend.But most of the time the hobby is irrelevant, it's just about how much time or money 'DH' is spending on it (I'm yet to see one where the type of hobby itself is the issue). Yet they'll lay out the finest details of the rest of their predicament which to me would probably be more outing than the cycling hobby
Either that, or they all do competitive soap carving.
Don't forget that another poster, desperate for some of that sweet, sweet attention will start a thread that is 99% similar but swaps bourbons for custard creams because that'll really throw everyone off the scent.
I hate those unimaginative fuckers more than anything.
MN Head tilt in action
But they end up looking more like this
I'm sure they think they look intelligent and not in the least bit condescending.Or like a small dog who hears a high pitched whistle
But they end up looking more like this
And then the TAATs start.
'What happened with the poster whose husband ate the biscuits?
I was sooooooooo invested in that thread. I'm just sitting down with a cuppa now to catch up and it seems to be gone... '
Etc.
Someone has started a thread asking how many millionaires people think there are in the uk and to Google it and say if how many there actually are is higher or lower than how many you thought there were.
The replies are already hilarious and full of ‘well I know 5 or 6’ and my favourite ‘Much lower than I thought too. I guess one’s perspective is based on the area you live in and the people you know.’

Love how on Mumsnet a hobby can be outing but posting a picture of yourself, in your bedroom, wearing quite unusual clothing is totally incognito
quite unusual clothing, lol.
I remember this poster, I like how unique she is tbh, and from what I've seen on the thread she seems like a really sweet person. I do get tired of the same old stuff though, and that one who constantly mentions she has horses. Yawn.

"This season, I will be mostly wearing Primark pyjamas"
To use a Mumsnet favourite, OP, are you me?"This season, I will be mostly wearing Primark pyjamas"
Some designer probably thought about the WFH trend and decided there'd be a new market for business pyjamas!
Style and Beauty remains my favourite place on mn.
Someone posted recently looking for recommendations for a dress to wear to get married - wanted something glam and not white. She posted a beautiful, sexy, satin dress for reference and half the replies went on to recommend a velvet jumpsuit from Nancy Mac

Every time I read MN I'm left astounded by their complete lack of ability to read the damn room!
On a sad thread, a poster has just been told her husband has 6 months to live max and some idiot goes for a medal in the grief Olympics telling the OP how she only had 24h notice her husband was dying and some people only get a policeman's knock at the door. And another poster telling her to focus on 'making memories'
The poor man died that night.

They have zero self awareness. That poor woman, reading their claptrap at a time like that.
They’re still moaning about how horrible Tattle is over there, but there have been some bloody awful pile ons and responses to some OP’s recently. They really do think they have the moral high ground just because they’re not gossiping about celebrities.Every time I read MN I'm left astounded by their complete lack of ability to read the damn room!
