My one dates all the way back to Year 5. I put up my hand to ask to go to the toilet but the teacher refuses. I them come forward to her desk to ask her to reconsider and before I can say anything the teacher gets cross, and just as she is yelling at me I throw up all over her desk. I had been feeling really queezy and think I had a tummy bug, but she didn't give me a chance to explain. Certainly felt like karma!

Ds did something similar years ago

He had a young but nasty teacher-i had dealings with her and she just enjoyed being nasty and on a power trip

He could be cheeky,he is the best at one liners but not a trouble maker at all

He was in class one day and put his hand up

'Miss I feel sick'

'Put your hand down,your not going to the toliet'

'But miss,I really feel sick'

'YOU ARE NOT GOING TO THE TOLIET!'

by this time,his friend was trying to tell her ds had gone white but she snarled at him to 'shut up'

Ds stood up,leaned over

And threw up,partly in her handbag

I did smirk when I got the phone call home-it had only been the week earlier that she'd had to phone me over something dd had done and she'd made it clear my dd was 100% to blame for whatever it was (dd wasn't innocent at all but more 50% to blame) as the other child didn't come from a single parent family (i was a single parent) and where a lot more middle class than I am so dd was automatically to blame-any kids in the school that caused an ounce of trouble where the offspring of single parent families according to this woman

Served her right to be fair

I hope that your friend wasn't held liable for the repairs.

Are horses insured for kicking cars to death?

I'm always very careful about passing horses (and cyclists and joggers) personally, as I dread that one of them will take fright/ have a heart attack/ look at me funny and there will be an accident.

I have no idea if horses ever collapse and fall on, or in front of, very tiny cars, but I wouldn't want to risk it.

Any responsible owner will have their horse insured for accidental damage.

2 work ones

Worked in a travel agent, assistant manager. We had to make sure we asked people what passports they have, as visa requirements differ by country. A recent customer who had a non-UK passport (think it was Jamaica) needed a visa for Greece. The person booking them hadn't checked and he got sent back to the UK when he landed. To make it worse, it was their honeymoon. When they stormed back in (understandably!) the person who had booked it was off, so I sorted it out by upgrading them to a better holiday to somewhere he could go and off they went

Next day, I used the example in staff training to remind everyone to check this.
The manager was really arsey, saying the person who did this was stupid and needed to be disciplined and I needed to out them. I said I would take it up with them directly after the training; what was important was making sure everyone knew how important it was. He went on and on saying that person did not deserve their job and very intimidatingly shouted 'does anyone have a problem with the person being named?' No-one spoke so he turned and smugly said to me 'well then, who is the idiot'

I smiled and said 'you'

Second one - when I felt it was time to move on (been there 9 years, no progression in my region) I was very open, telling the (same!) manager that I was planning to leave, when I had interviews (on my day off) and even faxed him from holiday to confirm my resignation, giving extra notice. He never replied

On getting home, I found a letter saying I was not allowed to work my notice or enter the premises, neither was I allowed to go to the annual award event that month, where I was due to collect 2 prizes. I was so upset after 9 years of service (& it was my first job) and thinking I had not done anything wrong
I decided I had to go in to the shop, because I needed things from my locker, but thought I could ask a colleague to do that and made sure manager was on his day off
When I arrived, everyone was really off with me, turning their back and giving me dirty looks. Eventually I asked why and one of them said 'well what do you expect when you have refused to work your notice because you are too good for us now?' I burst into tears and handed her the letter and she took me upstairs to calm down.

I wrote on top of the letter 'Please see below, will miss you all, I will be in the pub over the road if you want to say goodbye' Then photocopied it and left one on every single person's desk so they would know what a spiteful shite he was

We had a great afternoon in the pub and I think he lost any respect he had from most staff pretty much overnight

I'm sure they would, but a claim would push up their premiums.

I'd like to think it was at least "knock for knock". (Better still, all the driver's fault)

Enormo-Cob reminds me of an incident quite a few years back. Out riding with a friend who owned, what sounds like Enormo-Cob’s long lost sister, Bella. Huge thing, shiny bay with great big white feathered feet and generally totally unflappable.

This idiot in one of those little sporty cars zooms up to us, slams on the brakes and beeps his horn. My horse leaps into the air, Bella shoots backwards, lands her bum on the bonnet, crumpling it, jumps forward and kicks the car twice then swings round and smashes it with her front feet like trying to kill a snake or something. The guys face was an absolute picture and his car was a hell of a mess.
We got her checked out just in case she’d hurt herself but there wasn’t a mark or tender spot on her.

Bella is my new hero, @VelcroRevolver!

Just imagine if she and Enormo-Cob had foals - would they be twice as dim or twice as bright?

2 Twixes, Twix, Twixs, Twixi, Twives - or whatever are not the same.

In the same way that a 4-finger kit-kat is more than twice as satisfying as two, 2-finger kit-kats (and the rare and elusive FIVE-finger kit-kat is better than THREE, 2-finger ones, even though there are more fingers in the latter), there is a psychological element to satisfaction which can only be fulfilled by a GIANT TWIX.

There's probably research studies on it and everything.

If there aren't, maybe MNHQ would sponsor us to do such a trial, @Emotionalsupportviper. Frankly, looking at my waist line (which is more of an Equator now), I have been training for this my whole life!

NachoCheesed · 11/04/2024 13:49

Nacho Cheesed for this (a new verb) as it's a little outing.

Ex-DP was an abusive and violent wanker to me and every other woman in his life. A narcissist arsehole.

He lived at my address for all of 3 weeks before I saw through his bullshit and got rid of him (or so I thought)

This just started a whole year or so of abuse, stalking and harassment including from his new 'soulmate' woman.

Anyway I managed to get a restraining order against him and that was that.

Imagine my surprise when a letter turned up at my house in his name. I popped it straight back in the post with 'not known at the address'

Anyway more of the same letter turned up so curiosity got the better of me and I opened one of them.

Turned out he'd changed the log book of his car to my address and hadn't changed it when I turfed him out. The letter was a fine for parking his precious car where he shouldn't have done.

Now, as I had a restraining order, I couldn't contact him so just kept returning to sender.

I imagine the fine is getting bigger and bigger as he obviously hasn't paid it and I believe it's now going to court for a CCJ.

He caused me hell for a whole year so now he can have 6 years of his credit score taking a hit. Karma I believe for being such a twat.

Allofaflutter · 11/04/2024 13:53

I love it! He deserved it and more.

Stopsmotheringmeeeeeee · 11/04/2024 14:01

My child's dad hasn't seen her since she was 3 (so nearly 10 years). He owes thousands in maintenance. He was an abusive, gaslighting psychopath.

Shortly after I left him, he met and married someone, and had a child with her. I was never sure if she knew about his daughter with me.

My child has really suffered - I'm currently paying for bloody expensive therapy.

From the little I've been able to glimpse from online nosing over the years, they have an idyllic life. It's always sickened me that he's been able to present this false persona to someone who appears, from what I can tell, to be a decent person (I mean if she knows he's abandoned my child, then obviously she's not that decent).

The other day, after not having thought about them for ages,.I had a snoop on her insta (she does holistic treatments etc) and there was an 'inspirational' quote about being single- I don't think it was meant to be in her words per se but it did include the words 'I'm single'. I almost jumped for joy- this man does NOT deserve happiness!!!!! She's seen the light I thought. It filled me with glee I am not ashamed to say.

But then upon further snooping and extreme zooming in, I saw a very recent video with her still wearing a wedding ring. I was beyond disappointed.

HOWEVER, having had another look- I'm now not sure whether the 'ring' is just a bump where the ring used to be?

I know this is not quite the point of the thread (and is probably in poor taste, so shoot me) but please Mumsnet, help me get back that feeling of evil joy!!

Ring or no ring??!?

(L, if you see this, and you haven't done so already - I hope you get rid of that abusive, gaslighting, child abandoning compulsive liar).

☺️
