Oh it's so bleeding hot and muggy here?

"you call that hot?? Here in Dubai/ Australia / South Carolina / the Sun it's 10000 degrees"

Good for you, perfectly understandable, being on/ near the equator and all that. Spare a thought for us that rather sensibly for our climate went to work in a cardie this morning. Ok?

tbh hate it when a thread is moving along nicely & then someone comes along and dumps on it all in the name of bitchiness common sense. can't help but feel they're doing it to show off their own smug superiority against the plebs who were enjoying the thread.

the martyrs on relationship threads who go 'poor me poor me, I am a door mat for my DM/DP/DMIL/everyone, what should I do?' Cue 15 pages of mainly helpful advice/ bolstering of confidence etc, which is totally ignored. Then, a couple of weeks later, same poster 'poor me, poor, me ...'

Any baby name thread where people denounce names as chav names.

TrillianAstra · 30/07/2011 09:14

MN has got so much more bitchy/boring/whatever lately.

That.

scottishmummy · 30/07/2011 10:00

just wrong. and bit wanky and self referential

thefirstMrsDeVere · 30/07/2011 10:05

I love

they are one of the things that I love most about MN.

They are infectious though and prone to making you look mad on FB or other forums. You can always spot a mn on NMs because they do < > and this and [insert the word smile but it doesnt come out like a smilie]

Threads about People being snobby about private schools usually people who could never afford it.

And those who think you should sacrifice your Childs education so the social mix is right Hmm

Those eternal threads about 'what do I REALLY need to pack in my hospital bag for the birth of my baby? and people ALWAYS saying

lip balm and hand cream

like that's going to make you feel better afterwards

I always want to say - take a full bag of slap and an iPod (I did and, indeed, I used them)

The one's where the OP is on benefits because they were left by their DH/illness/something else beyond their control. Someone will say "get a job". OP will say that they don't have the ability to earn enough money to pay a childminder. Someone will say "well get a better paid job then!"

Like it's that easy!

thefirstMrsDeVere · 30/07/2011 12:00

People who say

'well if I had to I would scrub toilets rather than go on benefits'

Not realising that a. scrubbing toilets is not the worst job in the world b. Nobody actually just scrubs toilets for a living they are generally trained to buff floors and all the other things industrial cleaners have to do c. they might well bring themselves to scrub said toilets but would the be able to get childcare that starts at 5.30am when most of these toilets are being scrubbed? d. If they did find a job scrubbing toilets the chances they would be on benefits because they would be earning the minimum wage or just above. e. fuck off because you are so up your arse the worse thing you can imagine doing is scrubbing someone else's toilet.

Haha - MrsD I keep using classic Mumsnet giveaways like pointy brackets and phrases on Facebbook, (I've been indoctrinated - I can't help it!) and I am SOOO going to out myself one day. Blush Especially when a RL friend asks me who all the random women from all over the country they have never heard of, on my friends list are. Grin

I told a RL friend I was on Twitter the other day, and she said 'Oh good, so am I. What is your Twitter name? I'll follow you' and I had to go 'Shit. Erm, sorry. I can't tell you. It's from, erm....another forum I use sometimes obsessively every day and it's ....erm....anonymous.' Blush

She looked at me rather suspiciously!

"I've had a Brazilian wax'

Cue - why do you want to look like a 9yr old?

Your husband is a paedophile.........
