Chaos

You've broke Maryz!

SheelaNeGig · 07/10/2012 22:12

I confes. I started a chs related thread eatlier.

Im sorry. But i needed opinions about shifts before i do reqiesting.

Someone will have to have M and MiL. I'm going to be working.

IvorHughJackolantern · 07/10/2012 22:13

This will be the first Christmas in..... Can't remember - think 7 years - that I haven't worked Shock

I fecking hate Christmas so will swap if you like Sheela. You'll have to have DH and DS though. And possibly FIL.

Trills · 07/10/2012 22:15

You can have a pat for starting a thread in AIBU where the answers
YABU, I agree
or
YABVU you are totally wrong
make perfect sense and do actually tell you what you want to know :)

Trills · 07/10/2012 22:15

Doh.
YANBU I agree

SheelaNeGig · 07/10/2012 22:16

No thanls ivor. It isn't my turn to organise aged Ps. Phew.

HotPinkFuckingFuckFerrets · 07/10/2012 22:17

Chaos

Where exactly are you wearing that Santa hat. Technically one cannot shimmy ones head.

Hassled · 07/10/2012 22:17

I'm on the fence here.
AIBU to ask you about making a Christmas cake? Yes, you are - now fuck off.
AIBU to ask you about complicated working/family logistics for a day in which 12 people who all hate each other will be in my sitting room, and some of them are vegetarian but they hate vegetables - fair enough. This shit matters.

gordyslovesheep · 07/10/2012 22:18

Yes there should be a RULE no Christmas threads until we have had all the trick or Treating / Firework threads

MaryZed · 07/10/2012 22:18

Sheela, your's isn't too bad at all for two reasons. Firstly, you aren't saying "AIBU to wonder what the best shifts are" - you posted in chat because you wanted to chat.

Secondly, you do have to decide now. You aren't saying "What time will I get up on Christmas morning" or summat stupid like that.

Trills · 07/10/2012 22:19

Exactly Hassled - if the question is actually about unreasonableness and is about something that needs to be discussed NOW, then fair enough.

But Hassled - it shouldn't be AIBU to ask you about ... because of course you aren't unreasonable to ask or to wonder or anything like that.

That thread you mentioned should be in chat Grin not in aibu at all.

(see my comment on Sheela's thread, which is perfectly acceptable, even under my rules)

MaryZed · 07/10/2012 22:20

I luffs you Trills.

I don't luff Chaos any more.

SheelaNeGig · 07/10/2012 22:22

AIBU to worry about who will organise the Aged Ps because it isn't my turn and I am determined to not do it this year because it really is someone elses turn. But it makes me anxious because my siblings are all a bit shit.

IvorHughJackolantern · 07/10/2012 22:24

Damnit.

I hate the Halloween/fireworks threads even more than the Christmas ones. Because they are the same. Every year. I don't want to hide AIBU but I may be forced to.

I am pondering changing my name to 'reciprocal arsepat'

Trills · 07/10/2012 22:25

I'm assuming that Hassled's thread would be titled differently - is she BU regarding the complicated situation that is driving her up the wall? And we would tell her that it is in fact her vegetarian-apart-from-veal SIL who is BU.

SheelaNeGig · 07/10/2012 22:27

Fucksake now i'm all tense and its all your bloody fault for starting this.
Thats it. I'm going to shut myself away with just my fake babies and hide everuthing christmassy.forever.

IvorHughJackolantern · 07/10/2012 22:27

IT HAS STARTED AGAIN! Angry

IvorHughJackolantern · 07/10/2012 22:28

Your thoughts, please, gentlemen

MaryZed · 07/10/2012 22:31

I'm going to have to go to bed.

It's bullying, this, and it isn't nice.

Everyone knows I can't cope, they are all picking on me Sad

Hassled · 07/10/2012 22:32

Can I just clarify - Christmas is a mellow affair here and despite the attendance of both Ex-H and the parents of current DH, we all love the Baileys equally. None of us is ever unreasonable. Except DS3 and his relentless Monopoly demands.

VintageAxeWeldingPboredWarrior · 07/10/2012 22:55

Who mentioned monopoly, I just luuurrrrrrvvvvvveeeeee monopolising evryfink, ever, cos I is faaat and ugly, yeah!!!!
