There is a thread on AIBU called harassed on a walk, about a woman walking along a tow path with her off lead dog and baby in a pushchair. She claims that there was this woman was jogging along, who then started walking alongside her filming her saying about if her crappy nosed dog so much as touched her, she would basically punt him into the river.

I have questions about this post
1. What is a mnetter doing outside her house?
2. Why isn't she doing her 6 figure senior job?
3. Why does this frankly quite unbelievable tit happen to these women, seemingly on a daily basis?

I think my answer is, it is absolute bullshit.

The rogue dog probably tried to shag the joggers leg and shat on her foot. The jogger probably asked the MNetter to politely keep the mutt on a lead. They love to bleeping embellish stories
 
Car share is still there. Just spotted a comment on there and searched the author. The comment was that she was heavily pregnant and she responded that she is not now.

6th January she was having a baby soon and looking at reusable nappies. Then a few days ago she got her positive test and is due in October. If she has lost the baby, it would be impossible to be 4 weeks pregnant now. But why make this up?

I can’t remember the last time I was asked to show qualifications at a job interview. I think it was when I was a new graduate. After a certain amount of time, all an employer cares about is the experience you have. Not what you got in your GCSEs in 1994!

I couldn't even tell you now what GCSE grades I got. Literally was 1994! If anyone asked me now or I had to put them on a job application I am 100% gonna lie.

I'll just lie to the coroner too when my lying about GCSES causes someone to die, which I'm certain someone from mumsnet would say would end up happening.

You can’t tell us your gcse results because you’re irresponsible and didn’t keep them in a fireproof box. It’s people like you who are the downfall.
 
There’s a thread in AIBU called ‘To complain about how I was treated’ in which we can observe a great smuggery of mumsnetters descend on a woman whose poor mental health means she’s finding it hard to seek a job. Doling out such wise advice as ‘suck it up’ ‘stop making excuses’ and of course ‘. I want my taxes spend on better public services, not endless people saying they are not capable of working due to an anxiety and depression.’ (That last one was very quick to say she’s not a Tory, but I think the nasty wee shite doth protest too much)

I’ve just read that one, typical Mumsnet nest of vipers rounding up and belittling someone when they’re down. They think nothing of ganging up on some poor unfortunate who is looking for advice. Yet yesterday they were all complaining about a thread about creepy celebrities. Anyone who dared to say they got vibes off certain celebs such as the aged Christian singer or former talent show judge /children‘s author were described as vile, hateful and bullies. Complete bunch of hypocrite.

They’d be tagging MNHQ to try and get your IP address (this lie that influencers spread explained here) so they can log it with 111 (they mean 101 but for some reason mners always mix up the two).

It’s the “get your free half hour with a SHL solicitor” which gets me - especially given half of them claim to be 6-figure SHLs - who clearly don’t bill because they’re always working for free. 🤔

When I got divorced it cost £££ and the only free bit was the “come in at 2pm Tuesday with your passport and wedding certificate”.

Why make up such a dull situation? At least throw in some shenanigans like a sexy boss and some random shagging over the photocopier.

I suppose when you never answer the door, meet up with friends or buy nice clothes because rich people dress like shipwreck victims, you have nothing exciting to spend your six-figure salary on so you have to get your kicks somehow...and a person being a bit frosty with you is probably enough to send your anxiety into overdrive.

I'm glad it was bollocks because it would have been really spiteful if it was true. Hell, it was pretty spiteful from all the posters who thought it was real and were baying for blood over a bleeping car share that didn't even exist any more in the story.
