LIGHTHEARTED - If you only ever believed things that you read on MN…

[LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet]

You’d believe that….

• If your husband so much as starts shopping in a new supermarket then he’s definitely having an affair
• Tenants who can afford to pay six months rent are drug dealers and will use a rental property as a drug farm
• Sleeping on a bench in a town centre in the middle of the day is perfectly acceptable and extremely common
• That a perfectly acceptable parenting method is, in response to your husband having a night out, to leave a tiny baby and a toddler with him while he can do nothing but vomit in the toilet. This will all end well and you’ll thoroughly enjoy spending the day sat in Costa coffee patting yourself on the back over your victory
• If somebody asks you to do something you don’t want to do, saying “No” and literally nothing else at all, is absolutely fine and gives enough context and definitely doesn’t make you sound like a massive weirdo

Any more for anymore?

What's LTB?

Leave The Bastard

Or Lights, Tinsel, Baubles.

Depends which thread you're on.

I think that's going to be a new MN "in" joke 😁

@FettleOfKish or could be Left-eye! Tear! Bawl!* if on other certain freds!

• ok, I had to amend it slightly to fit! 😜

Thanks, WanOfCerms!

NEVER buy your child's teacher a present for Christmas. They get well paid and should be thankful they're getting to teach your little prodigy.

I used to take a flask, although it normally had coffee in it. I wasn't alone. Maybe it was an '80s thing. I remember you could buy a sandwich box with a flask inside.

Anyone who is rude, selfish, or just downright obnoxious, must have mental health ishoos.

Ensuite bathrooms are super-eeeuww! and having your dh poo within 50 feet of you is disgusting.

If we listened to the rubbish spouted on MN, we would all be either dead or divorced.

Yep- someone always pops up with some obscure, complicated diagnosis that explains away all their vile behaviour/abuse and puts pressure on the OP to just put up with it because they should be "understanding" due to a condition this person they know nothing about "might" have.

It hasn't occurred to most people that you can/should wash your feet.

You are not allowed to question what your aging parents do with their money, even if they are spunking it on crack, because it's grabby to expect any kind of inheritance.

Any tradesmen working in your house or garden are a sub-species who must not on any account be allowed to use your loo(s) because no amount of scrubbing/bleach/Zoflora will ever remove the dreadful taint and deadly germs they are bound to infect it with.

OP: I have a small and inconsequential issue, I know it’s small and inconsequential and I’m clearly stating that but, nevertheless, I’d still like some polite help and advice.

PP: OH MY GOD YOU SELFISH TWAT DONT YOU KNOW THERES A WAR ON IN UKRAINE!!!! DONT YOU CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF. I BET YOU VOTED BREXIT AND TORY, YOU SELFISH ARSEHOLE.

That it’s really easy to just find and qualify for a high paying job. Anyone who doesn’t have a high paying job is just so lazy.

A salary of £30k is absolute peanuts

You need at least a six figure income to have any sort of standard of living

That someone in the office you don't really know well getting you a generic bayliss and harding giftset for the office secret santa is using that as a subtle way to pointedly say your not worth the thought of a proper present.
