These ridiculous dilemmas need to stop. Half the time there!!!8217;s no dilemma.

If you tell someone they can have something you can!!!8217;t then charge them for it. This is possibly the most ridiculous one so far.

The dilemmas are linked in the newsletter, I assume to simply drive traffic to the forum.

They can never be answered fully as the story is only half there. People seem to come to the forum, answer a nonsensical and pointless dilemma, and then flit off again. If people want to waste their time answering pretend 'dilemmas' which are either fake, or nowhere close to being a 'dilemma' then fine, but I am also free to complain about their utter uselessness.

There are enough genuine issues on the forums to deal with if if people want to help with problems. If they just want to respond to whatever random thread MSE wants to post then I don't personally see the point. It doesnt help anyone.

Do you really need to ask???
I know this site is about being careful with our money but how bloody minded can you get?


If you would have to throw it away anyway, then of course you shouldn't charge your flatmate for eating it!

I totally agree with you.
