No actual nominations for thread titles this time, but this comment from @YR80 had a lot of likes and is very fitting

Yaaaay. I like a new thread. I've nothing to add at the moment, except I like a new thread.
Let the fun commence.

There is a thread about receiving a wedding invitation and them putting it straight in the recycling pile in front of the person who gave it to them

She us being piled on as rude to do it in front if her

Apparently they bin every card after opening it, I at least keep cards for a couple weeks before putting them in a box for keepsakes

 

[CrimsonCountess]

My mum keeps everything like that. Every card, every invitation, all that sort of stuff. When I moved out she gave me a whole pile of all the ones she'd kept for me. Wtf!?

When I was getting married she was fuming that I hadn't given her a physical invitation. It hadn't even crossed my mind, you're my parents of course you know the date and you're going to be there. But no apparently she wanted one to keep

Well said!

I have a card problem. I hang on to them, then I get guilt about chucking them. Especially cards from loved ones no longer here.

I kept the last birthday and Christmas cards from my mum, and will never throw them out.

 

[Technobiff]

To be fair, I keep cards from the kids.
I've managed to amass more cards than chuffing Clinton's!

Same, and I still check the letterbox on my birthday every year for her birthday card

Am taking medication that is making my stomach jumpy. This description has not helped in any way at all.

I popped back here to see if someone else had spotted this one.

When my mum died she left a box chocka with every letter, card, telegram, house brochures, when they were paper in the 70s; flyers from holidays from the 60s onwards, postcards.....It was amazing to read through them. I'm glad she did.

FFS of course I read this just before lunch

Why are so many mumsnetters emetophobic? Does anyone actually enjoy seeing someone vomit? Surely it's a perfectly normal reaction to feel nauseous and unwell yourself? It doesn't mean you have emetophobia. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I think a lot of phobias are ordinary reactions to things, like rats and spiders and snakes. A genuine phobia is debilitating and disabling.

Because they're unique and special and can't possibly be sharing a common human experience.

My head isn’t fully in gear but the one where everyone is phobic of eating noises. I mean, who enjoys hearing other people chew? It’s kinda gross except when my kids or dog does it and then it’s adorable, of course.
