Maddest shit people have said to you in 2018

Had a small house warming party.

“Friend”: oh I thought there would be lots of people here but actually there’s almost no-one! I always had the idea you were popular!

Wouldn’t be so bad if she hadn’t said almost the same thing at my wedding!

My Grandad.
You're putting on more fat. You won't fit in your coffin. Hes got about as much tact as nit. He's a like a 2 year old where you're thinking "Oh what's he going to say next. Mind you saying that my nephews are 6 and just over a year old and they have better decorum. Oh and its nothing to do with his age. He's always said stupid things.
Its a good job I'm not the sensitive type or that I'm hoping not to need my coffin any time soon
I thought it was hilarious.

Your son doesn't sleep because you BF him for 16 months.

He's now 2 and still doesn't sleep. My best friend formula fed her son and he doesn't sleep either.

I told them to fuck off.

My Mum making a big song and dance on xmas day about the gift that my sister sent and sending her a message to say thank you (we're NC). Funny thing was that it was in same wrapping paper as Mum's gifts and the label was in mum's writing.........

I nearly cracked and said Enough Enough Enough. It was fucking chocolates too. I'm diabetic Hmm

Me: I'm pregnant
Them: again
Me: 🖕

If your DH doesn’t get treatment in the next few weeks he’ll die from organ failure. He has to wait a fortnight for treatment while we figure out where to treat him as your local hospital can’t. 😨
2018 can fuck right off!

Is your DH ok, Grundy?

OneOfTheGrundys · 01/01/2019 09:15

Thank you! (Happy New Year too).
After I made several pretty insane phone calls they managed magically to find him a ‘slot’ at the main clinic.
He has a terminal illness but we hope 2019 will bring treatment that lengthens his life!

Apileofballyhoo · 03/01/2019 16:41

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm glad you got a place at the clinic. I hope that 2019 brings many moments of happiness along the way. My DB died last year and it's so very very hard but we had some good times too. Flowers

He'll grow out of it.

My friend came to stay overnight and she hasn't really been around my son much as we usually meet up when he's at school .
My son has severe autism and severe learning difficulties,anyway we had a nice evening and my son was fabulous even though a strange to him person was in the house.
Over breakfast friend said "he's hard work isn't he but you must be so relieved he's not disabled " when I asked her to explain what she meant she said "you know what I mean disabled as in needing a wheelchair and someone with him all the time to push him"
She really didn't get my 😳face !

DH's granny on post-baby weight: 'I was fat when mine were that age too'

"the needs of the company outweigh your need for a home life". Why am I still working there?

YippeeKayakOtherBuckets · 03/01/2019 20:15

General conversation about paying for prescriptions (she doesn’t, I do).

Me: ‘I prepay though so it’s only a tenner a month so I don’t mind’

Her: ‘You mean your husband pays. Of course you don’t mind, it’s not your money’.

Weird. I work btw. She doesn’t.

According to MIL, the carpet bombing of Coventry, and most of the other Blitz raids, were pre-arranged with the Luftwaffe for slum clearance. In particular, her insistence that Coventry Cathedral wasn't flattened stands out as a shining example of willed ignorance.
