Dementors Begone!

[ThatLibraryMiss]

Take your shaming and your doom and gloom somewhere else.

I think Ive got it- urgh. Disgusting.

Trapped, yes sorry that’s the one. I would love to see if the poster would say that to someone in real life or if they are only happy to tell someone their child will die on an anonymous forum.

They'd never say it in real life. Dementors dont have the balls. So easy to say vile things when youre anonymous isnt it? I wonder how they'd feel having that post out there for all to see on their facebook page eh?

People do seem a lot angrier today.

Quite a bit of it seems to be because it's a welcome opportunity to have a thinly veiled class dig though.

Lots of posts about how most of the people who enjoyed VE celebrations are thick, just couldn't wait to get pissed on Aldi booze or cheap cider, waving St George flags, kids running around unsupervised, topless men, sunburn, and the adults being anti-social.

The usual MN stuff about 'common' or 'rough' people basically. Usually there'd be some flaming for it but under the CV effect you can openly mock or have a dig at the poor, mentally ill, obese, elderly or anyone/group you don't like much under the guise of concern for yourself or others.

And it's not. It's the same old judgement but with the brakes taken off.

Wow, Trapped. That's horrible and wrong in so many ways.

They'd never say it if they weren't anonymous. They have to keep up the facade of being goody two shoes virtue signallers who would do ANYTHING to save just one life.

When in actual fact they'd relish the opportunity to say I told you so if someone's child died.

Horrible fucking arseholes they are.

I’ve reported numerous posts saying children will die. Mumsnet does nothing.

When in actual fact they'd relish the opportunity to say I told you so if someone's child died

Yep- its sick. I actually think they'd be happy if it happened because then they could crow "i told you so!" - a kid's death is so worth it if it helps prove their point isnt it? Bloody sick.

Just spotted this gem in the wild. Everyone in an unspecified area, possibly the whole world, stopped doing social distancing at once.

It’s also completely unacceptable in the context of key worker children who have to go to school, are they going to tell them that they will end up in body bags too....

@BogRollBOGOF, you can get oat milk here. It's cheaper than the supermarkets and if you spend over £30 you get free delivery.

It is sick. And they have the audacity to tell people who are following the rules anyway, that they're killing people.

Id actually bet their comments will eventually kill more people than anyone who's had a brew 2m apart with their mum for example.

I wonder what the suicide rate will look like after this? There are fragile people on mumsnet.

One of the nice things about the pub is that it's a low-pressure way to be around other people. In a decent pub, you can sit and have a quiet pint, maybe read or just stare out of the window. Someone might you engage you in conversation, or you might pick up on something they've said and drop in, but there's an unspoken understanding that either party can disengage at any time, politely and without any acrimony or embarrassment. You might not talk to anyone at all, it might be a five-minute chat or you might end up talking for hours. You might or might not get to know each other's names, you'll probably forget them later, you might or might not meet again.

I think some people don't understand this kind of thing, or don't think it's something they'd be Comfortable With As A Woman On My Own. People in pubs might be Drunk or Unsavoury. These posters don't go to pubs (and proudly proclaim the fact), or maybe just occasionally for a Respectable Family Lunch, where generally you won't engage with anyone outside your group other than the staff. It's a very privatised mentality, and I think it's of a piece with how fearful and distrustful some people seem to be, and I see it a lot on these boards.

Its been deleted. Good.

Can I add the "holiday dementor" too?
People who think we wont be flying anywhere until 2027?
Who think you are a selfish murdering cow just because you have the absolute audacity to feel sad that your holiday had to be moved or cancelled?
Why can't people accept that most people understand there is a chance that their holidays may not happen but people need something to look forward to. To hope for.

@LivinLaVidaLoki the holiday Dementors are awful. "How can you even THINK about holidays at a time like this, my priority is staying alive not going on holiday!"

I saw a facebook comment today saying "is 2 weeks in Benidorm worth being in a coffin"

That VE day thread is horrendous - full house on the bingo card after the first page.

What I don't get about dementors is this - why are they concerned about what other people are doing? Say everyone who was out in the streets yesterday does get Covid and there's a rise in cases (which I personally don't think will happen). That's not affecting the dementors because they're inside their houses. They're not seeing people, not going out, nsever sending their kids to school like ever, anti-baccing their groceries, soaking their apples in milton and have a decontamination zone for their deliveries. Everyone else in their street could have it, and they're still sealed in their wee bubbles.

So why the faux concern over everyone else's health? Because it's fairly clear that issues such as social isolation and mental ill-health don't matter to them.

"if you want to go on holiday, bring your own body bag!"
"If you want kids to go back to school, i hope they bring their own body bags!"
"if you buy a curly wurly- better buy a body bag to go with it!"

Whats this obsession with body bags? I wonder if Versace do body bags? 🤔

Holiday dementors. Pub dementors. Noted, thanks.

@Dialdownthedrama, yes as ever class is the elephant in the room. Some disgusting attitudes on here, and when you call them on it, the catsbum-mouthed bitches go fucking mental

Do Boden do body bags?

The bingo card list

Choose your ten favourites and list them in numbered order in a reply to this thread or the next one (we'll be there soon), with 1 being your favourite. Please do number them and use the wording I use as it'll be easier for me to sort them. On Monday morning I'll process them and give them points, and the 36 with the most points will make it onto our new bingo card.

I think I've included all the suggestions so far, but some have been combined with others as they were very similar.

@Waxonwaxoff0
Exactly. Back in March I made one comment, one...about feeling sad that I may lose my holiday (I've moved it to later this year) and suddenly I'm an awful person who doesnt care. A murderer, People are dying and I shouldn't be bothered about my holiday. I'm so uncaring blah blah blah.
From people who know nothing about me at all. I have a very stressful job working in social care, a job that takes over my entire life sometimes. But yeah I'm a selfish cow for wanting a break from what can sometimes seem like relentless, overwhelming misery to spend some actual quality happy time making memories with my family.

@ThatLibraryMiss only 10

It's not just the being bothered what the neighbours are doing, it's the constant monitoring and note-taking.

"My NDN went out for 5 hours yesterday and came back with loads of decorating stuff. Over the road her cousin came over on Tuesday, her Mum and her best friend on Wednesday, her brother goes to his GFs and back every 5 mins"

Why do you know so much about your neighbours and why are you taking notes of their activities? It's bloody weird.
