I do things Mumsnetters see as wasteful or wrong, ask me anything

[Statsquestion1]

I do all the things MN thinks are wasteful/wrong!? AMA…😂
Examples
i live in a new build
we have brand new cars- (not on finance though)
I buy kitchen roll

Oh no people on here love it when someone has a secret McDonalds, they are practically a hero.

I love kitchen roll too.

Haha this might be off the back of the thread earlier this week - i felt very judged after reading it 😊

So my question is... do you ever use a bag for life as a bin bag when you run out?

I actually bought some lovely washable cotton cloths - non paper towels.

Now I use both them and the kitchen roll!

Our cat is king of the kitchen counters - I practically have shares in Method and kitchen roll. Cloths skeeve me out, no matter how often they are washed. We have and use a tumble dryer, but don’t own a car 🤷🏻‍♀️

I sometimes* let my bath towels be used <mops brow> more than once.

*all the dirty time

Do you whispersinlowerclass use fabric conditioner?!

(I do, I love fabric conditioner and I don't care if people don't like my artificial smelling clothes)

I only change bed sheets every few weeks . ( taking cover from incoming missiles)..Also been known to wash towels at same time as kitchen hand towels and dish cloths. naughty me

Do you let your husband have sex with you if he's failed to sanitise his entire body with bleach?

Do you ever leave your washing to get "darked on"?
I peg mine out the night before in the hotter months.

I don’t see an issue with any of these things. Couldn’t live without kitchen roll, would definitely buy a new car if I could afford not to do it on finance and would love to live in a new build where the boiler doesn’t break down every month and the roof doesn’t constantly need repaired! Why do MNers hate them??

Is it a thing on here to not use toilet brushes? How do they clean the skid marks? By hand?!

No shoes allowed in my house and I never answer the door or the phone if I don’t know who it is. Poppers in can fuck off.

I have kitchen roll and a toilet brush. I use a plastic washing up bowl. I take my dog with me nearly everywhere I go.

"Poppers in can fuck off" I need this on a door mat 🤣🤣🤣 I HATE an unannounced visitor

When that happens you buy a new toilet. Obvs!

I dont see that as wasteful or wrong, just a poor choice of how you use finances but thats your business

I see your new cars and raise you a wood burner

AMA!!

Bleach

And plenty of it.

I would love to live in a new build. I use kitchen roll, tumble dryer (it’s in use as I type),newish car, even put the heating on just because I’m cold and I live in an old house which I really should dust more often

I have a toilet brush.
I let tradespeople and other visitors piss and shit in my toilet.

Admittedly I'm one of those who doesn't open the door if I'm not expecting anyone because it's always a parcel for someone else or someone trying to sell me shit or people begging on behalf of charities.

I’d actually feel pretty angry and resentful if I went for a shit in someone’s home, flushed it, then discovered I’d left skid marks with nothing to clean them off with! Just cos someone thinks they’re above having a toilet brush in their bathroom. Ideally leaving skid marks would be a perfect way to bring them down a peg or two..but then there’s the embarrassment side of it. Hard to decide if enduring the embarrassment is worth it to teach them a lesson 🤔

I out-waste you all. My carbon footprint's nearly invisible, but that's because I'm too poor to have a car or holidays. I do use kitchen roll, use a tumble dryer for the big things ... and I smoke. A lot! I might even be the last chain smoker in the UK.

It is the reason I'm so poor, obviously. But, OP, I feel you're not wasting hard enough. On your comfortable income, you have so much more wasting potential! Do you use a coffee pod machine? Have you ever bought a new thing because you couldn't be arsed to wash or mend the old one? How many pairs of unworn shoes do you own?
