What has MN put you off?

[booboo57]

MN has taught me so much but I no longer want to consider a Hot Tub ever since someone on here described it as clamydia soup. Just seen an advert for one and felt a bit sick. Used to love the idea.

Loo brushes
Men- agree with previous poster, I am happily married too , but if dh and I were to separate, I probably wouldn’t bother with other men

Moving house because the neighbours are most likely to be noisy, inconsiderate bastards who will park on my drive and let their dog shit on my grass.

Believing anything anyone says on the internet

Oh and admitting to ironing all my childrens clothes and only using a towel once before washing it

Oh yes melissasummerfield, forgot about the ironing - nobody does that anymore (on mumset anyway).

It is a real shame if people have actually been convinced into washing towels after every use purely because a bunch of random obsessives on the Internet claim to do the same.

If you really can't think for yourself, could you not read some of the threads on climate change and allow yourself to be influenced in a positive way?

I'm happily married but MN has made me realise that there are a lot of awful men out there and I'm more wary of men in general now. And cold shoulder tops, used to wear them but MN has put me off.

Weirdly MN has vastly reduced the amount of washing I do. I used to wash towels after every use but after after reading threads on the topic (and making one of my own) I now wash them weekly.

Whats wrong with KFC?

Surrey.

Bit of a shame as I live there.

I'm terrified there's maggots in my Nespresso machine

If you really cannot recognise or understand irony, could you not read some of the threads on Mumsnet.

Speaking, because I'm bound to offend somebody somehow.

I used to think I was a feminist, but MN has shown me that I'm a. not up to scratch and b. I don't want to be.

I was a non-ironer well before I discovered MN. Perfectly flattened clothes are not one of my priorities in life.

The TV programme Friends.
Marks and Spencer.
Living in a flat.
Having a cleaner.

Emma actually, firstly, I think it's you who doesn't understand irony (hint: it doesn't mean the same as 'lighthearted' or 'sarcastic').

Second, are you speaking on behalf of all the PPs who have said they now wash towels far more often? How do you know they're all joking (sorry, being 'ironic'?) Genuine question.

Oh yes, and going on a group holiday with close friends.

Centre Parks.
(Sex) beakers. - can't use that word any more!! 🤮

@JesusInTheCabbageVan Perhaps I am being a bit presumptious in assuming that most people were being ironic posting on this thread. Perhaps they are being serious or perhaps they are being lighthearted, I suppose only they know.

I personally was being ironic in my comments, i.e. I do own a loobrush, never wash towels after a single use and always answer the door whether I am expecting visitors or not.
Irony is used to convey, usually, the opposite meaning of the actual things you say.

What’s wrong with washing towels after one use? I don’t really have anywhere to hang them so they dry without going smelly or musty and honestly, after a fresh shower or bath I like to dry with a clean towel. Even my kids use a towel once and then it’s in the wash. Also, what’s up with KFC? I’ve never had an issue thankfully.

@Aaarrgghhh because it’s a terrible waste of energy and unnecessary

If you have somewhere to dry towels after they’ve been washed, then you have somewhere to dry towels once they’ve been used

Lasagne

Following the recent thread where the OP was feeding her extended family a ragu sauce contaminated by a dead wasp.

I don't like wasps but I do like lasagne.

I use my loo brush with pride (I've just bought a new one from a pound shop. I'm not paying Dunelm prices.)

I smile when I abandon my shopping trolley in a supermarket car park.

Anything else that makes me think, 'take that, Mumsnet.'
