I told them one time they came to my door I was pregnant with my umpteenth th child and I wasn't married. Old guy who looked 200yrs old nearly fell down the 6 stairs he has to climb in my old flat 😂😂 I was pregnant with my first and have only had 2 kids since lol

I’m very rural (think no Oyster cards) and not only do we not lock our doors - but we leave the key in the ignition in case someone needs to move it or the postie sees your car out and about and leaves the mail on the passenger seat.

Nobody, but nobody in this parish has CCTV or Ring doorbells. You just march straight in.

When we got home from our summer holiday our keys were hanging in the lock (on the outside), including the keys to my car.
 
I can only imagine the AIBU threads over the next few days…

AIBU to think Trump might just be the best man for the job??

AIBU to not understand American politics - can anyone explain to me like I’m 5? I googled it but just don’t get it, I’m proper ditsy with this stuff!!!

AIBU to feel completely terrified and desolate at the thought of this election in America, and the state of our world??

AIBU to never want to go to Florida again????????? DH is furious
 
They are all bleeping mad

Apropos JWs knocking on the door.

Those bastards ruined my mid-teens. They came a-knocking on a very rare occasion I was home alone aged 13/14. I listened and took the wee newsletter they offered i.e. The Watchtower for my parents to consider.

So far, so standard. As an avid reader (think back of cereal boxes, instruction notices on doors, information inserts in aspirin boxes etc.), I read their publication.

In amongst other information was the FACT my recently discovered hobby of exploring my genitalia was a sin. A BIG SIN. A BIG, MASSIVE SIN.
:mad: As I said, bastards.

Maybe MNs have it right after all i.e. no good can come from answering the door? :D

I grew up next door to Jehovah Witnesses, which is how I found out they believe only 144,000 JWs will ascend to heaven and the rest of the “faithful” will inherit the earth, while us heathens are going straight to hell. The family used to drive around Beverly Hills/Bel Air on the weekends, picking out which house they would live in after the Second Coming. 🙄

If you've got a smart air fryer of course it listens to you, kinda the point I would have thought. My fucks to give about anyone listening to my family chatting shite, sailed off when I dotted 3 Alexa's around my house. She deffo listens, there's a setting in the app you can put on that saves what she hears and sometimes parts of conversations show up in there!

Fairy lights? We only use real candles on our enormous fir tree that my tall athletic sons cut down on Christmas Eve and strap onto the back of the battered old Land Rover.

Amateurs! Mine strap it onto their back!

My neighbour absolutely bedecks their front garden in those flashing blue lights, I had to get a blackout blind because my bedroom was lit up like a shite police rave until January. I could have had a 20 page post on AIBU about the trauma I endured 😢

You’re not anybody on MN until you‘ve suffered ‘trauma’
