OP, have you ever snapped and farted?

(someone had to ask)

EmpressaurusKitty · 23/11/2025 07:26

5hy133n · 22/11/2025 22:58

Thank you. 🙂

I suppose I wouldn't mind helping parents who might be a bit confused as well. You can tell me if that's a good idea or not. 😆

I don’t think it’s just the parents who get confused on Mumsnet.

Have you got any dogs?

5hy133n · 23/11/2025 08:59

Ooo, for a thread that was called pointless by a few, I've ended up with some brilliant questions to get through and some new users to say hello to. 😁

I've got a busy day today (yes, even on a Sunday!) but I'll be back tomorrow to answer everything. Just wanted to say this before anyone accuses me of disappearing in under 24 hours. 😉

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday - even the users who haven't been so kind to me. 😁

Where do you stand on chavvy baby names?

For example, would you call your fourth son Luckey-Buoy ?

StripedPillowcase · 22/11/2025 22:32

Um, in the nicest possible way, post or don't post, help or don't help, there's no need for an AMA to introduce yourself. You're just an ordinary person, and there are thousands and thousands of users on MN.

OP this reply is peak MN. I’d advise not getting sucked in and go back to the student room purely because this place is full of obtuse miserable people 😂

Sometimes it’s just nice to have a chat no? OP my question for you is what do you do for a living?

Sounds like something off the Shipping Forecast.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 23/11/2025 11:34

OP what would you do if a common labouring man who was working at your house had the temerity to take a dump in your lavatory?

EmpressaurusKitty · 23/11/2025 12:01

HelpMeGetThrough · 23/11/2025 11:28

Or Balonza-Mae?

5hy133n · 22/11/2025 22:45

Apparently so...

Why is it so difficult to be simply nice to each other? 😞

Because there are women(?) on mumsnet who like to think they're proper hard nuts. You know, the sort that rule the prison. Truth is, they're the ones sucking their thumbs in their cells. That's why they're being cunts on an anonymous forum.

NormasArse · 23/11/2025 15:41

5hy133n · 22/11/2025 22:43

That's quite different. One statement is clearly a lie. I've simply expanded on my experiences/about myself so far. I'm not seeing an issue. Is it always like this on Mumsnet?

‘fraid so! 😁

TeenToTwenties · 23/11/2025 15:43

@5hy133n Suggest you hang out on the various Education boards as your input there could be quite helpful.

5hy133n · 24/11/2025 17:54

Florencesndzebedee · 22/11/2025 23:12

What can you do with a chicken?

Make it cross the road. 😁

Hahaha, bad luck @5hy133n, I’m afraid you are discovering one of the fundamental truths of MN - no matter how innocent or well meaning and innocuous the OP, dozens of aggy posters will pile in, criticise and try to show you up. It’s so typical it makes me cringe.

Don’t be put off by them though, there are also loads of funny, clever and nice people on here, you just need to learn to laugh at the nutcases.

Anyway, my question to you is how are you finding your early experiences of posting on MN, and will you persevere despite all the mardy arses on this thread? 😄

Thank you for your message. 🙂

Honestly, the most annoying part of MN so far is having advertisements on both sides.

I'll try to stay active but IRL is getting quite busy. 😣

Here’s question OP: do you have an Instagram account full of nothing but selfies?

I'm not on Instagram! 😆

AFingerofFudge · 24/11/2025 18:04

Definitely don’t be put off by the people who try to “shame” people that post. Good for you for trying!!!

phantomofthepopera · 24/11/2025 18:04

Are you a London-dwelling higher rate tax payer?

Would you allow a tradesman who was working in your home to use your toilet?

5hy133n · 24/11/2025 18:06

3hairspastfreckle · 22/11/2025 23:35

@5hy133n if you had to choose one breakfast to have for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

I was in Dubai not long ago and the hotel had this incredible coconut chia seed pudding for breakfast so probably that!

Welcome to MN, OP.

People here can be a little, er...blunt. And you need to be prepared for just about anything you post to get picked apart. But there is a lot of good stuff here too.

I recommend that you check out the various education threads - some of them are quite busy.

Thank you - will do!

PolyVagalNerve · 24/11/2025 18:12

What an odd thing to do …

it’s like “I’m here !!!!! Here I AM !! AMA !!”

OP - there is a lot of people on this site - ALOT

you won’t be a main character…

you need to bring contributions / opinions / something to the party …

pose a question / a dilemma / a nugget of wisdom ..

Just announcing I’M HERE is weird !!!

Your answer may affect your eligibility to join Mumsnet 😆.

  1. Baby showers are fine. Gender reveals make me grumpy.
  2. No. I'd perform the sacred ritual of going silent and pretending I'm not home.

No, but if it ever happens you'll be the first to know. Promise.

Does that question explain your username? 😁

OP posts:
Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/11/2025 18:20

Welcome back OP 😁.
Does your username have any significance (mine says what is in on the tin) or is it just random?

No, but I really want a Pomeranian or a husky. 🙂

Personally I'm absolutely against them.

Never.
