shopping in a well-known department store, for the purposes of this thread let's call it Lewis Johns and sitting for a well-deserved cuppa and bowl of fairly heavenly cream of vegetable soup...

a lad, about 11/12 comes up and pushes a sponsorship form in front of me, mumbles something about a boxing club and Amir Khan and wants me to write my name and address down.

i told him i wasn't local, that i was only visiting the area and wouldn't be able to guarantee when i was back in town to give him his money...

he said it was ok, i could give him the cash there and then.

what would you have done?

Tea and Jehovahs shouldn't be mixed.One mention of tea and they've got their foot in the fucking door and you've got a watchtower mag rammed down your gob.

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:35

My MIL is a JW.

She used to buy me watch tower.

I left the country.

I avoid tea with her at all costs because that would mean that I'm in the same room as her.

That is akin to self harm.

JW MIL.

Oooohhhh

AuntieMonica · 10/09/2011 21:38

Gilbo...does that mean you don't have to buy her Christmas presents?

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:39

Tis a sad fact Doug. The things we do for love.....

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:40

reeling Yep! Or see her at Christmas. Or have any respect for her. Or listen to word that comes out of her lying shit stirring black hole of a mouth.

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 21:42

JW's don't do Christmas do they?Grin

There are some pluses then!

BobblyGussets · 10/09/2011 21:43

Reeling, I prefer not to be caller a "stalker". Think of me as more your very persistent "friend" Mwah hahhh ha harrrr!

NeverKnowinglyUnderDoug · 10/09/2011 21:44

Hmm, so you never have to remeber her birthday or buy her a Christmas present.

I suppose there are some advantages.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 10/09/2011 21:45

I just tell them that I'd be locked out the chapel as I've had too many transfusions and wouldn't hesitate to have more if I needed them. That usually sends them scurrying away. That and FUCK OFF.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 10/09/2011 21:47

I'm assuming, Gilbonxo, that your MiL is not a regular visitor then...

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:48

Alternatively, she gets to totally ignore my dcs' birthdays while continually mentioning her and FIL's birthday's and which fabulous place they went to to eat what fabulous food.

I'm not bitter. Honest. The total two faced hypocritical bitch who never acknowledged dh's birthday his entire life.

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:50

Rock Last time she stayed here she danced naked in front of me and then told the rest of the family that I burst in on her in the shower and insisted on holding a conversation with her. Luckily the rest of the family know she's a lying twat slightly unhinged.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 10/09/2011 21:50

I don't think the strike out is necessary to be honest. What a fucking bitch.

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 21:50

Bobbly....

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:51

So no, she doesn't stay here often Grin

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 21:51

Gilbonxo

I remember that story!

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:52

I won the worst MIL ever thread!

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:53

Along with the time when she lifted my boob off my bump and laid her head on said bump to 'let baby know how much she loved him'.

And the time she stroked my boob while I was breast feeding dd.

Oh I could go on.....

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 10/09/2011 21:53

Shock is about all I can muster to that.

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 21:55

Gilbo

I feel your pain....how did you not punch her full on in the mush?Shock

You can have my Mum as your MiL - my 3 SiLs all adore her mostly because she's as stupid as us
