Things you can never say out loud in real life as you'll hurt the feelings of someone you like....

...stop buying puppies from breeders FFS.

So sick of people popping up with the latest - inevitably moustachiod dull as fuck doodle - puppy that they've bought from some back yard breeder.

I love dogs. The people who do this never seem to really like dogs much, if they did they'd consider adopting one of the gazillions dumpbed post-lockdown (bought by moustachio-doodle loving twats just like them).

Lol this reminds me of my mum when I was a teenager lol

Are you me?

I don't remember posting this but it is so familiar . . .

That goes for an awful lot of the cosmetic surgery I see - fillers? Yes, I can spot it. Super smooth forehead and no elevens yet you look older generally? Botox.

Spiders masquerading as false eyelashes?! WTAF?

I'm really not sure that having a DC with a man who is 22 years older than you, has two failed marriages and three DC with three different mothers is a good idea. Esp as you have a young girl of your own to consider.

I appreciate that there is a problem, but don't whinge endlessly and repeatedly about it without being willing to be a part of a solution.

Ah, that felt better!

Comparing trans rights to LGB rights makes me uncomfortable.

It's not a sexuality...is it?

Stop complaining about how fat you are/feel when all you do is scoff biscuits and chips (loudly) at your desk all day long. Do something about it, your tedious moaning drives me up the wall and I have to put my headphones on and pretend I am in an imaginary meeting just to drown you out.

This one needs saying to their face!

To a one-time friend - I accepted you when you dated my (very much younger) son, welcomed you into my family. Gave up my bedroom for 3 months when you moved in with us. Did all your washing and ironing. Supported you when you became ill. Did your ironing for 6 months, and accompanied you to your hospital appointments. Stayed good friends with you when you split with my son. With my husband, went out with you every week, saw you 3 times a week, listened and empathised about your problems with your mum. Where were you when I needed a friend? Nowhere. You're weak, and I'm doing well without you. I've got real friends now.

Your lip fillers, Botox, fake eyelashes and general other face fillers don’t make you look good. You look like a Halloween decoration.

Aaargh please stop moaning about EVERYTHING ALL OF THE TIME. I can’t tell any longer if it’s a real issue or not and it’s exhausting and upsetting. It makes me stressed every time I visit you because I know I have to listen to whinging and sometimes fake crying for an hour before we can do anything or talk about anything. It made me not want to come and visit you in hospital where you really did have things to complain about because I just couldn’t face ANY MORE MOANING. I hate answering the phone to you.
I love you and of course I will always come. But I don’t want to.

Your toddler is a horrible child. And it's your own fault.

You have a problem...and the problem isn't me.
Look around yourself...nobody there ? Ask yourself why ?

The reason your stepchildren don’t visit you is not because they are horrible kids, it’s because you are the one being horrible to them. And their dad is a fool for prioritising you over them.

You have hurt me and you are hurting me – because I'm in love with you.

Stop stop stop comparing me to your mother. I know she is great. The best sahm ever.
But i am also great in my own way. I do make bread from scratch maybe but i am way more self sufficient, clever, multitasking, brave than her.

I often think you are disappointed with who i am and i do not fucking deserve it. I am a great woman and i am proud of who i am.

You are a millionaire, living in a huge mansion, you have about 7 other properties and several high end cars. You live a lavish lifestyle where meals out can cost several hundred pounds and you have amazing far flung holidays. You have a daughter and grandchildren who you see regularly. She is drowning in debt and on the breadline, she literally has nothing and frequently has to sell her belongings in order to eat. You don't offer any financial help. Why?

That's exactly how I was feeling yesterday, @CrustyFlake 😆

'NO you didnt nearly die from your average kidney infection and NO your doctor did not say it was 'the worst he has ever seen' or you wouldnt be at work 24 hours later ffs.'

and

'Are you really, truely shocked your pregnant from and unprotect one night stand?
Is you where told at 14 you couldnt ever have children by your GP really the fucking story your sticking with?
Doctors (especially GPs who have nothing to do with fertility) dont tell underage girls they cant ever have kids based on absoloutly NOTHING.
Its fine to have a suprise unplanned pregnancy you dont need to make up silly statements to 'justify' yourself to anyone especially when that lie undermines the very struggles of others and dilutes understanding and awareness'

I don't know about anyone else, but on reading this thread I am doing some careful self-reflection and SINCERELY hoping that none of these posts contain things people think about me but are too polite to say!

That is, at least, the people who I'm led to believe actually like me (I'm none-too fussed about the rest).

Agree - worried I show work colleagues too many pictures of DD and plan to limit it!

You're all just bitches...maybe not PC now, but that's the word for what you are. You could see I'm socially awkward, not the most socially aware or charismatic. I admit it. I'm ok with who I am. Why do you think that everyone has to be the same?

You don't understand me? I don't understand you either but don't feel the need to belittle you, badmouth you or backstab you. I keep how I feel about you and your shitty bullying to myself because I have more than the crumb of human decency that you cows seem to possess. It seems to be just a game for you but your behaviour makes me sick to my stomach. You're vile.

Why are you fluttering behind me? Is it your male sense of entitlement because a little lady is taking too long at the basin? Or do you want me to admire your dress?

Well guess what - women don't interact much with other women in the basement bars of toilets. You've made everyone here uncomfortable, which is why we're all averting our eyes and looking away. And you belong in the men's.

And before you answer, do you really, honestly think you're "unsafe" at a fucking poetry reading?

Friend, you are lovely to DS and include him in family holidays. We generally greatly appreciate this, but this most recent holiday is profoundly inconvenient for us and will cost us over £150 in train fare to come and get him. We did say no but you'd already told your DS, who told our DS, who sobbed and screamed and threatened suicide and was frankly a bit terrifying when we told him it really didn't work for us. We then felt like we had to say yes really, and I am trying hard not to bitterly resent having my arm twisted into this situation. We are struggling to afford this unwanted, unasked-for trip.

Next time you want to invite DS somewhere, please please PLEASE keep it between the adults only until it is definitely agreed to be feasible. Next time it doesn't suit us we will say no and it will not be our fault if both DC are disappointed.

I really wish you had allowed yourself to see Mum abusing us so that you could have helped. I wish you'd told the school because they would have helped. I wish you didn't think that it was only one of your children who suffered so that the other two don't get acknowledgement from you.
