You know the kind of thing. Someone posts about a mother of 5 children allowing the kids to behave outrageously in a restaurant and people come back with:

"YABU. How do you know that all five children don't have SNs."

"YABU. How do you know she was their mother? She could have been a family friend whose christian name just happens to be 'mum'".

Imagine if people went on like that in RL. You would never, ever be able to have a proper conversation because it would just drift off into fantasy land after 5 mins.

He might even get a wine bottle or three if he's lucky.

He is a class above your stinky poo bin.

Ha madam you are 'outed' as a non-recycler. You are going to get it now...

anklebitersmum · 02/11/2012 16:32

wine bottles in the bin? Shock

what about Richard the recycling box?

MadamFolly · 02/11/2012 16:34

How can I possibly deny Derek?

I don't even have a Richard! I am a one-bin-woman unlike all you wanton bin hussies!

anklebitersmum · 02/11/2012 16:37

hussy? HUSSY?

Jusfloatingby · 02/11/2012 16:41

Does a wheelie bin, on its own, in a forest with a dog turd in it actually make a smell?

cheekydevil · 02/11/2012 16:43

I have so many bins that I don't know what they are all for.
Pretty sure there isn't one for dog shirts though Hmm

MadamFolly · 02/11/2012 16:45

Its not my fault!

The council never gave me any other bins!

Jusfloatingby · 02/11/2012 16:49

Oh, so you would deny Derek given half a chance?

I am afraid that I would be a bin hussy of I was given the change to get my recycling whips and leather out. :(

I am a filthy hypocrite and my top hat is wilting in shame. It looks like this now :(

I know a family with six daughters who all have autism and who are constantly having to tell disapproving members of the public that their dc are not naughty.

And my first name is Mum.

(One of those statements is absolutely true).

Jusfloatingby · 02/11/2012 18:59

Which one, Mum?

Jusfloatingby · 03/11/2012 14:54

I would prefer an offended person to one of the aforementioned 'professionally unoffended'

'YABU. Maybe the rude shop assistant was having a bad day' saintly beatific smile

'Yes, but how do you know she wasn't up all night worrying about her sick granny'? Even bigger and more beatific smile

'I really do think you're being very judgey. You should walk a mile in her shoes' smile so huge and beatific that face cracks in two and falls in smithereens onto the floor.

4x4s (2 whole threads.)
Dog poo in a bin
People eating McDonalds too early in the day

There's a P&C space one been started in the last hour or so.

And there's more but my brain has melted.....

In Jilly Cooper world you can identify villains by the fact that they don't like dogs.

Mrsjay · 03/11/2012 15:28
