What have you done in the real world that MN disapproves of?

As per the title.... what have you done in the real word that would have Mumsnetter's frothing at the mouth?

I will start.
Someone reversed into my (parked) car and we sorted it out ourselves (without informing insurance!😲) with them paying us to get it fixed (which has now been done).
Gosh..... aren't we naughty!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eaten a very large 2kg chicken between 2 adults [one very greedy] and two children in one sitting with no leftovers. And sausages and all the rest.

I couldn't give less of a shit about trans people using public loos or private ones for that matter. Leave it clean.

Nor do I particularly care about the odd boy playing netball or joining the girl guides. Olympic boxing and sport at a high level I do recognise is an issue and would have to agree that there is a physical advantage and it is regretfully not something to make an exception about.

glad it’s not just me with those views about sport on MN. I said exactly that on another thread and got absolutely piled on.

I ghosted an ex friend because she had been so horrible to me that I wanted to get my own back.
I shouted at my nephew when I looked after him, because he tried to play up like he did with his parents.
I'm obviously really horrible according to MN standards, but I don't care.

Greenfinch7 · 10/04/2026 15:29

I am American.

Maybe that's egregious enough on its own...

But in addition I: don't know anyone who owns a gun or votes for Tr**p and his ilk; eat excellent fresh food every day, including wonderful chocolate; have good grammar and am fairly well read.

Luckyingame · 10/04/2026 15:29

I married for money, about 50x my own wealth.
Marriage of 23 years, love evolved from respect, but never passion.
Not arranged, if anyone wonders.

Tuinton · 10/04/2026 15:30

Eaten food.

shrunkenhead · 10/04/2026 15:30

I once gave my dd a Fruitshoot.

HelpMeGetThrough · 10/04/2026 15:30

Right now I’m drinking more than a thimble of wine and still working. Terrible!!

Additup · 10/04/2026 15:32

I enjoy chatting to attractive men - I was recently criticised for this on here the implication being I probably dressed in mini skirts and low cut tops to garner male attention ie I was a bit of a tart. I've never dressed like that in my life 😂

Also I do 95% of the cooking/cleaning etc and have done since we had children. I don't expect my dh to 'pull his weight' by sharing this because he works much longer hours than I do and I think he pulls his weight by earning lots of money to provide a great standard of living for us all.

Morepositivemum · 10/04/2026 15:35

I smile when I see a group of people chatting and blocking the supermarket aisle instead of gnashing about it

I wear make up daily

Heyhelga · 10/04/2026 15:35

I not long ago put Bleach down both toilets and gave them a good scrub with a Toilet Brush. I do this Everyday and go through Two Bottles of Bleach a week.

I am now Doom Scrolling on Tiktok and MN and I'm responding to MN threads Without Reading All of Op's Replies and I'm sucking on my Vape. Oh and I have a few text messages from this morning On Read I've Not Yet Replied to.

My 13 year old son is out somewhere. Not seen him since lunch and I'm not sure where he's gone - he's probably up in the woods on his bike with his mates.

Kirbert2 · 10/04/2026 15:39

Used a £1 UC ticket to take my disabled child to the zoo. 😂

RaraRachael · 10/04/2026 15:39

I hold my knife like a pen.
I have a toilet brush.
I don't buy clothes from Hobbs or Mint Velvet.
I say "Can I get?"

I own an xl bully
I drove for 19 years without a license (have one now)
I drive an suv and about to buy a second one.
I breed dogs
my children’s ears were pierced at 4 months old

Most of those make you an actual crap human rather than just a crap MNer.

WeCanAskandAsk · 10/04/2026 15:41

Have my 26 year old son living here rent free.
And do all his laundry.
Wear at least one of the following every time I leave the house: denim jacket, white trainers, skinny jeans, crocs.
Call people lovely and lovey.
Have separate finances from DH: we have been together nearly 30 years.

Am I missing something: how do I clean my bog without a toilet brush?

GinaandGin · 10/04/2026 15:42

I do the bare minimum in work
I drive everywhere
I let workmen use my toilet
My garden is a state
I have dogs

rockinrobins · 10/04/2026 15:43

Put my pronouns on my email signature.

No one knows how one cleans their loo without a toilet brush! Only the loo brush-free mumsnetters!

Our 24 year old lives here rent free (he works), he does his own washing, we cook his meals and I make him a fresh pot of coffee each morning. He has lived away and more than knows how to do all of that.

I guess some on here would say we’ve failed as parents, I’d tell them to do one.

starrynight009 · 10/04/2026 15:45

My partner and I blended our families.

I gave up my well-paid job to take one that pays less but allows me to do something meaningful.

…and we’re all very happy.

Greybeardy · 10/04/2026 15:46

probably the worst crime on MN...I'm a doctor! Also have a loo brush, wear skinny jeans, am not low carb, and prefer trainer socks.

No, you rank far below GP receptionists on the scale of Mn Bad Guys.
