Mumsnet in the event of a public emergency (LIGHTHEARTED!)

This is not aimed at undermining any real issues people face. It’s just a bit of fun!

Just read a thread on whether we’d get a warning if there was a nuclear bomb and a few people had commented that Mumsnet would go crazy. It definitely would.

So, in the event of nuclear war, a zombie apocalypse or other emergency that will (probably) never happen, what would we see on here?

“DSS attitude causing an atmosphere, AIBU to ask him to leave the shelter?”

”Government emergency broadcast message is misogynistic.”

”DH out scavenging with another woman, should I be worried?”

”Next door neighbour partially blocked my driveway with husband’s body. Should I confront them? PHOTO INCLUDED

What else would we see?

Can’t believe I forgot to include one like that. 😂

How many meals can you get from one tin of beans

I made this slug feed my family for a week!

We got invited to be helicoptered out of the danger zone but it was an evening-only invitation, AIBU to refuse?

Those zombies are attacking you because they're bitter and jealous of you OP.

No matter what the AIBU is, even if they are completely reasonable, one of the replies will be "You sound like hard work"

”DH out scavenging with another woman, should I be worried?”

😂😂😂

‘Struggling with being with others in the bunker, could I be autistic?’

😂😂😂 (I hope you've got your hard hat on! 😁)

The hordes didn't take their shoes off while trampling over MY shelter, should we go NC?

MIL won't share her dried squirrel tail with the kids, AIBU to lock her out of the bunker?

PuttingDownRoots · 10/03/2023 10:10

Are brown or blue overalls in this year?

Creating a feature wall in bunker - I need ideas please!

AIBU to expect shoes off in the shelter?

HyggeTygge · 10/03/2023 10:11

It's fine to go outside in a nuclear wasteland, don't believe the do-gooders and dementors and public health officials. Who cares if we spread it around, we all have to die sometime and I'd rather go enjoying myself sunbathing in a mushroom cloud than forced inside by anyone!

Feature walls are so passè. You sound like hard work.

I can't believe you're not wearing a mask. Have you no consideration for those around you?!

My husband is now identifying as a fungus zombie - should I LTF?

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 10/03/2023 10:21

Shall we take bets on how quickly this thread deteriorates into really not light hearted at all Grin

I'm guessing 8 minutes and 37 seconds! (Bit like a nuclear bomb countdown)

Does anyone know if Chanel No 5 been discontinued? Not available to buy anywhere online, not even on eBay and it's been my favourite perfume for the last 4 decades. I left my half empty bottle at home because I (stupidly!) thought the cat was more important to rescue in an emergency. House has been destroyed in the nuclear blast and security won't let me leave the shelter to go look for it.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 10/03/2023 10:31

AIBU to think the tax payers shouldn't be paying for Meghan's bunker?

Whereareallthejellyfish · 10/03/2023 10:31

Excellent thread, making me giggle 🤣

"Omg I can't believe your husband invited another woman into the shelter. LTB"

Whereareallthejellyfish · 10/03/2023 10:33

"I went outside to see if I could find an open takeaway and now my skin has gone green and fallen off. I've had a negative LFT, any doctors on here who can put my mind at rest?"

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/03/2023 10:34

I'd be busy giving nuclear winter forecasts.

DurhamDurham · 10/03/2023 10:37

You ate carbs? Nuclear winter is NO EXCUSE to eat carbs, you've only let yourself down and I'm not surprised you feel bloated. It's not the radiation, it's the bread you found in a skip to feed your family.

Imtryingnottobother · 10/03/2023 10:38

How often to you wash your government issued overalls, the slattern next door, only washes hers twice a month. Aibu to think that’s a bit grim 😱

L*ove. Laugh. Die.
