I met a mumsnetter in Spain... How did I recognise her? (Just for fun, but I did meet one of us in the wild and there was a recognising factor).

So do we have a definite answer as to what the B word is?

We do not. So Mumsnet.

She talked about her DH or DD. Or told someone to LTB.😄

dudsville · 11/05/2026 20:14

After listening to you share your concerns about someone, did she say in a patronising, teaching moment way, "and what did you say when you told them this? " knowing full well you haven't told the person this and we're just gathering your thoughts on mn.

When walking towards the pool, did her husband shout out to her "your minge!'"whereupon she realised she had forgotten to put her bikini bottoms on?

You knocked on her door to ask if she knew what time the restaurant opened for breakfast, you knew she was there but she refused to open it because

it was after five o clock in the afternoon

she didn’t know you

Pluto46 · 11/05/2026 20:26

Was she giving completely fallacious legal/HR/divorce/property/health/education advise to anyone who would listen?

dudsville · 11/05/2026 20:30

Did she hold an intense position about the use of the word frumpy?

Conkersinautumn · 11/05/2026 20:37

She put the next customer bar at 90degrees to the expected?

Gemstar3 · 11/05/2026 20:38

She was internationally on the run from a particularly vicious crow?

AquaLeader · 11/05/2026 20:44

Barbour? Balenciaga? Burberry? Birkenstocks?

Or just plain, boring old Boden....

Did she to you she formerly holidayed in Savernake Forest or camping pods in the north of Scotland, but now needed less unnerving vacations?

Eating a massive salad?

or she was in a group of 10 and they all shared 1 chicken and there were leftovers?

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 11/05/2026 20:57

EffortlesslyDistracted · 11/05/2026 15:16

or Mumsnet haircut? Maybe she was wearing a school run dress

school run dress? That’s an old one, isn’t it? I wonder if that’s still a thing…🤔

She didn't want to leave the wet beach towels out on the balcony overnight in case spiders rubbed their willies on them?

Did she ask if you were getting help for your anxiety?

NotTheOrdinary · 11/05/2026 21:07

Was she wearing Lucy and Yak dungarees?

Jane143 · 11/05/2026 21:08

EdithBond · 11/05/2026 18:37

She was wearing merch : a t-shirt that said either:

  • LTB (‘wearing the B word’?)
  • CFs
  • AIBU?
  • Ducks in a row
  • MIL

She knew someone who had a key to a house in Mexico?

Oh this was such a brilliant thread

JustAboutHangingInThere · 11/05/2026 21:15

Did she tell you to ‘use your words’….

CowTown · 11/05/2026 21:25

She has her cocklodger and his DCs in tow, whereby she’s expected to entertain/supervise the DCs whilst he vapes and games. And she’s funding 50% of the holiday because her cocklodger said, “we’re family now, and we go 50/50 on holiday bills.” And she has a baby bump because she’s stupid enough to have a child with him.

She was with her teenage daughter
, whose skirt revealed her bum cheeks, wearing a thong!
