Oh my god, I can’t believe you’ve STOLEN a quote from a post I wrote. I’m logging it NOW! And asking everyone here for a handhold. I’m literally shaking and sobbing, I haven’t been as traumatised as this since my DMIL said hello to me on Christmas Day.

I’m so sorry. Perhaps another kind Tattler could draft a message for you, expressing your disgust and required resolution to this incident.

See the “piping hot food” OP has now been invoiced £200 for her stay at her DSIL… made the paper x

I was in Prague once in mid-January and they still had trees and decs up, still playing xmas music. It was nice and not tacky at all. I will take my tree down on 2nd Jan as it's starting to look a bit dry and brown in places already. There was a poster who said no one observes 12 days of xmas anymore but my parents and all my relatives do and they're not even religious. They just don't understand that some people do things differently to them
 
I wrote this reply to an AIBU regarding a poster's next door builders' woes. duck me but I *despise* some of the nasty replies this woman is receiving.

I love having Christmas decorations up, but ours are quite restrained and not tacky (partly because we don't have kids and also because we have good taste lol). I'll take them down on the 9 th of January as we've got guests visiting from abroad "for Christmas" the weekend just before

Pretty sure that I watched an episode of QI which said that candlemass didn't end until February, so you're all fine.

I despise noisy neighbours threads. The majority of the replies are always ‘go and live in a field if you don’t like it’ and you can guarantee none of the fuckers have ever experienced noisy neighbours or are loud, inconsiderate, selfish arseholes themselves.

‘AIBU to let my 9 year old practice his tuba for 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, starting at 6am despite the fact we live in a terrace and the walls are paper thin’.
‘Op, it’s FINE. How else will little Jeremy become proficient and if your neighbours don’t like it, they can move. I’d love it!’

duck OFF. One of ndneighbours had 3 teenagers and one would practice the drums at random hours of the day and night and the other would hold parties from 5pm-6am with a professional sound system that wouldn’t have been out of place in a nightclub. But according to MN, it was my problem that I didn’t like the noise and I should ‘just’ move house.
 
Did anyone see the thread about the BIL ruining Christmas? Basically, the OP was hosting Christmas and wanted it to be special because she’d had the all clear from cancer and her BIL behaved like a feral pig. There were so many replies telling her she was controlling and trying to dictate when he was able to eat. Eh naw she just didn’t like him raiding her bleeping fridge an hour after eating dinner 😂
 
Why do they always ask if someone's "on glue"? Do they think they're being really edgy? I barely ever see it outside of MN

Post from @SpindleWhorl on the previous thread ^

I hate to defend the vipers but as far as I recall the ‘original’ ‘witch, are you on glue?’ (or similar) was posted over a decade ago, and in context it perfectly summed up an OP’s bizarre reaction to a trivial issue. It was funny and great and so it stuck. But now it’s just like a cockwomble… they didn’t coin it, then don’t understand it and I liked it before it was popular 😒
 
Wasn’t it the original Bridezilla thread? The bride wanted lots of free help with decorating the venue from the OP who was her friend but wasn’t being invited to the wedding. If I remember she’d had a save the date card…not to save it for an invitation but so that she was free to graft on the day.

I’m sure oh so hilarious Mumsnetters started calling her Gluezilla on subsequent threads.

And also why do they need shaving, mine are hairless 365/24/7 and also I had laser hair removal it was only £700 and also just be free and hairy and also I got an infection in my foo from walking past a mop bucket and you should be grateful you even have legs x

Maybe 🤔 Might be in Classics, their own convenient Wiki 🥸
 
@Sw4

WHERE DO YOU LIVE??? (Sorry if the answer is 'outing' 😂). Please look out for some MNers in the wild and report on your observations!

🤣 what options do I have? I think it counts as “semi rural”🤣 we’ve been in the Sunday Times for top towns to live in don’t you know.

I will start taking a notebook out with me and capturing my observations as they happen.

Top MNer on our street has a child in my daughter’s class. She’s VERY Amanda from Motherland - can’t cope if everything isn’t about her and her family. My friend and I did the collection for the teacher presents and I said I’d get vouchers for each teacher and make some cupcakes with the change (since you can’t get vouchers for £32.56) - she said she made cupcakes too, so I said well you can make them if you want? Anyway, she declined, I made the cupcakes sent the photos of them to the group (so people knew I’d done them and what they looked like) and she replied simply by sending a photo of the cupcakes SHE’D made for the teachers 🤣

then at the class’ Christmas party it was her daughter’s birthday so she renamed the party her daughter’s birthday party…… 👀

god it must be exhausting being her
