People you only meet on Mumsnet...

[CurlewKate]

People who never answer their door/phone.
People who get really stroppy about taking in parcels for neighbours.
People who can feed a family of four for a week on one chicken.
People who wash mince (one for the oldies, there.)
People who resent giving somebody a lift to a place they were going anyway.
Fee free to add your own!

There’s another thread where some utterly mad people think rushing a child into A&E for life saving care is less important than leaving disabled spaces vacant for people with blue badges.

@ParkrunPlodder. I might try it myself some time then 😂

The people who think that the DWP should change the rules just for them and their unique situation!

People who say "Gosh!"

People who call other people or their actions 'vile'. It's just not an insult anyone in my world uses but on here everything is vile.

Yep but it's disproportionate to language used anywhere else. Everything is odd. There are so many other words that would be better used!

This is me

People who call other people or their actions 'vile'. It's just not an insult anyone in my world uses but on here everything is vile

You see this is interesting because I bandy the word 'vile' around with great abandon. Anything I'm not keen on is vile. Someone who took up two seats on the train is vile. Sandwich I had in Pret was vile.

Is it regional I wonder? I'm sure I'm not the only one to say it here in Durham.

People who take days to answer a text. I have never met anyone like that other than on mumsnet

You have obviously never sent a text to my husband. He isn’t on Mumsnet.

It may well be! I'm SW and have literally never heard it IRL.

People who join conversations about fashion/style and contribute: 'wear whatever you like' or 'I don't follow fashion I wear whatever I please'.

*rolls eyes to the heavens

Oh yes, and people who respond to threads with "I have no interest in X" or "I have never heard of Y celebrity"

Also not letting trade people use their toilet. When they’re doing work on their home 🤯

Maybe I just don’t have many friends!! What’s your idea of fair share? For example I do all the cooking, my husband does all the washing up. I do drop off, he does pick ups. He does the lion’s share of the clothes washing, I do the same with the gardening. He does cat litter and bins, I do general house maintenance (painting, wiring, plumbing issues - albeit they’re not everyday chores). I think it only matters if you don’t feel respected or are unhappy with the situation and none of my friends feel like that. But it never seems the case on here.

People that 'live rurally'.

@PippaF2 I'm one of them And I have 4 children!

Excellent example

People whose toddlers eat 'piles of salad'

Still haven't gotten over that comment from a few weeks ago

People who won't let their friends or family visit their baby.
And the opposite scenario, in which the family stays for 6 hours.

Neither of these things have ever happened to anyone I know.

And these same high flyers can’t seem to make the simplest decisions for themselves and need to go on to MN so complete strangers can help them make said decisions.

People who are 40 + but genuinely look in their twenties and get asked for id regularly

People who are non-contact with their entire family, including grandparents and cousins, because they are all toxic.

People who go on two foreign holidays every year, even though they have a household income of £18K. They just go out of season in term time and tell school the DC are ill.

People on average incomes who send two children to private school by shopping at Aldi, holidaying in the UK and driving a battered old Volvo.

They usually forget to add the finer details of their finances.

Indeed

Oh my, if anyone does that it’s like flipping upstairs, downstairs not letting the surfs used the lav
