The long lasting chicken meal and other MN legends [light hearted]

[Thisismyfinesthour]

Most MN know that a chicken can feed a family of 6 over several meals. What is your record?
Our chicken fed 8 of us when the kids were young for two meals. We sent it to the chip shop after the stove broke down.😀
Other MN legends - washing being darked on because it was left out overnight.
Any that you've heard on MN inthe respect if your heard them said irl you know the speaker is an MNer?

How filthy is your toilet???

The fat ball incident is my favourite, I gave myself an asthma attack laughing when I first read it. It's a staple in our house too, when I buy fat balls for the birds I always remind dh not to eat them. And the ubiquitous penis beaker, we reference that a lot too.

@InconsideratelyThoughtful yes the t rex i remember that 😂

There was one thread that I cannot remember apart from one quote (discussing the trimming of pubic hair) referring to her lady parts pre-trim looking like 'David Bellamy saying Wow'. Literally the best thing I have ever read. Hats off to whoever made that comment...

But why clean a toilet with a brush then clean the brush. When you could just clean the toilet with gloves and a big wodge of loo roll and bleach?
People literally think the brush is to wipe away the motion marks. Then they put it back in the holder. It's absolutely vile.

🤣🤣

Well it’s not is it. I do that routine every day but I still wouldn’t want a germ-ridden toilet brush.

There we are x

My takeaway for today “motion marks”.

My absolute favourite was some bloke mansplaining a technical issue with a computer. Some fabulous woman replied along the lines of “I’m so glad you’ve explained that, here I was just bashing my tits off the keyboard and hoping it worked”.

I love/hate a spreadsheet. What's the MN one?

Let’s face it may get poo clags on it - then do you wash that in a sink? Urgh

Sure correct way is

Wipe with toilet roll to remove dust
Swizz cleaning fluid down and spray seat etc leave to ‘work’ go do other jobs - note toilet is cleaner getting to work.

Return and wipe round with more toilet roll or washable cloth (detol)

It was a spreadsheet of user names plus info 😂 someone shared a copy with me once

😆

The tinkly laugh and "Did you mean to be so rude?" I admit to actually using that one, to quite good effect.

Ahhh right. I think I've heard it referenced in other threads but not recently. Thankyou 🙂

That was brilliant! 😆 The Gaston from Beauty And The Beast comments were hilarious!

'Til I'm roughly the size of a BAAAAARGE!' 😂

I would never say that, in case someone said 'yes I fucking did!' 😬

Haha. Is that not what their called politely? 'Shite stains' is more my usual parlance but I was trying to be respectable! 😆

It seems to have largely died out now, but ‘are you on glue?’ was very widely used as a response to an unwise/unconventional comment.

As has ODFOD, and the legendary which I miss.

The chicken was hilarious.
I still think of this often 🤣

Someone tried that with me and just got “yes, I did” back. Not much they could add to that.

Lemon drizzle cake?

I know it was a thing on here for a while, but I never found out why.

I remember a thread where someone was talking about bleaching their bum hole. Someone commented not to leave the bleach on too long or they would end up looking like a polo mint. I howled laughing at that.

It has to be the "show pineapple" for me. As in staging house for sale/visitors etc you have to assemble a fancy fruit bowl for the middle of the dining table including a pineapple that never gets eaten and is just for show.
Ditto the "washing up station" [pre everyone having a dishwasher] - this was a pretty tray with brand new bright white dishcloth, new unused dish washing brush, scourer and a bottle of fancy washing up liquid [NOT Fairy!] Rituals pink washing up liquid springs to mind and a fancy ironed and neatly folded tea towel. None of this was to be used but was just for show.
Mystified who even has the time and headspace to think of this stuff? Must be bringing up 5 daughters and a big fancy job that killed it for me - we were lucky to get to the end of the day with "everyone fed and nobody dead" as we used to joke when we finally got them all to bed!
