The most poor taste comment ever on mumsnet and that’s saying something

The original post not the reply which is mild!
 
@Kikini Bamalam Harry Styles does smell of wet dog, piss, unwashed armpits and a hint of weed. I much prefer my house to smell of clean linen, courtesy of Yankee candles, and not Harry Styles. You can also buy Harry Styles car air fresheners, so I got away lightly.

@veronica71 the post about cancelling the holiday due to a hurricane has to be the epitome of selfishness and egocentricity. I'm actually gobsmacked that her main concern is the lack of Disneyland rides and not the fact that people's lives are in danger.

On a thread that is full of news updates and thoughts and prayers for the people affected by the hurricane, a post about having to cancel a holiday is a bit self-absorbed and she sounds completely unaware of how she comes across. She'll get her money back and can rebook. The kids will get over it.

And I don't want to be a massive twit but showing the kids some hurricane news and a map and saying 'Look, this is where we were going to go but see how awful it is, and here's why and it might be disappointing for us but we have huge sympathy for these poor people and pets too right?' might be helpful giving the kids a bit of understanding of the world and a teachable moment about empathy and managing their emotions?

Boring thread there about SHOCKING 20 minute showers. Don't want to sound all judgemental but how can anyone do top-to-toe incl. crevices in 5 minutes?

With really rough exfoliating shower mitt and no standing around dissociating (like this morning when I totally forgot what I was doing 😬). Rough and fast, gets all the dirt off.

goodness. Some people are so self centred. I was in tears last night when I saw the TikTok of the bed guy telling people write your name and dob on your body. Unbelievable to think of a holiday.

I've always imagined that Harry Styles smells like wet dog and piss, can you confirm?

As for perfume, I have worn Calvin Kline's Obsession since I was 15 years old and they will have to prise that out of my cold, dead hands. I do not care if it is chavvy, old fashioned or known to kill off mumsnetters (a bonus?) I will never stop wearing it and have left instructions for my nearest and dearest to give me a quick squirt before I am loaded into my coffin. When I shake hands with satan I am doing it smelling nice!

I’ve been wearing Jade Goody’s perfume since I was kid and I’m still buying it. I’m the final boss of chav, council estates everywhere still recognise the smell 😂😂

when I’m doing “naice” things I use whatever testers come from my beauty box subscriptions - Lancôme idole is a firm fave (I also have about 100 tester bottles from work) 😂
 
I was actually pleasantly surprised that there was only the one pant-shittingly tone deaf comment on that thread! They’re learning 😌 Unfortunately I think I may be a mumsnetter as heavy perfume sprayers duck me right off. I do have Dautism though and strong smells in general are my enemy 👃
 
I vaguely remember a thread a year or two ago where an MNer had booked a holiday to somewhere (I can’t remember the destination) that was suffering the aftermath of a natural disaster. She was basically saying she thought it was still alright to go because travel hadn’t actually been banned and the bit she wanted to go to was away from where multiple people had died and lost their homes. It was all staggeringly tone deaf.

💭Dautism? Is that like Dauntism and she obsessed with expensive books/ tote bags? No, wait I'll Google...oh 😶‍🌫️
 
I discovered I work with a MNetter when we were discussing perfume at work one day. (We aren't allowed to wear it as I work for the DNHS, and, you know, allergies and stuff.)
We were all talking about perfumes we wore as teens and one mentioned that they loved one that came in a pink bottle. I said I loved Britney Spears Fantasy - which was in a pink round bottle. Colleague looked horrified and said they were talking about Chanel Chance. I hadn't even heard of Chanel when I was a teen - Britney was where it was at!
