I love all sorts of wicked MIL and SIL stories, except when related to childcare of tiny babies. Followed by wicked stepmother stories and dissection of family budgets, who pays for what.

I like the ones where the wife has decided to leave her abusive husband, and we’re all helping her to do the planning and get her ducks in a row before leaving, and in due course get the update to say she’s reached safety.

Me too ❤

I came on to say fillet or rump 🤣

The ones that are clearly posted by bots, journos and trolls where they pretty much get sussed out straightaway. Sometimes the stories are so mad and don't make sense that it is obvious.

Inheritance disputes

Edited to add..they’re better when everyone is still alive and falling out over potential/hypothetical inheritances.

Did any one else open this planning to type ‘Roast’ or ‘steak’ 🤣🤣🤣?
Would have to be the CF ones, who won’t see the error of their ways & keep doubling down on their stupidity.

First 3 answers nailed it.

I like the ones where pretty much 100% of the responses are YABU (with explanations why), but op refuses to accept this and posts again and again explaining why the correct answer is actually YANBU.

I love CF threads
