AIBU to ask you to wish my friend Lucy a happy birthday?

showyourloveforlucy · 28/10/2013 22:46

My friend (in RL) is obsessed with Mumsnet, particularly AIBU. Whenever one of our friends has a problem in real life, her solution is invariably "stick it on AIBU, they'll sort you out." She constantly recounts stories she has read on here, to the point we're slightly concerned it's taking over her life (I would put a smiley in but I'm confused as to how). Even more concerning, is the fact she sometimes uses MN abbreviations in real sentences, and none of us have a clue what she is talking about.

have no idea of her username, although am sure she's probably a regular contributor. But I feel Lucy is a common enough name that she won't be outed and she needn't comment on the thread if she's worried about that.

Anyway, it's her birthday tomorrow and I know it would actually make her year (as tragic as that is) if some of you would wish her a Happy Birthday (or make some other AIBU typical remark). She'd be more chuffed than if Matt Damon were to walk in butt naked bearing vodka and cake.

Thanks All

YABU to think you can come here and not be obsessed.
YABU to think you cannot think of the children as DC and DH as well, DH.

Happy birthday Lucy! Cake

Thanks and many more.

Jamieolivereatmeup · 29/10/2013 00:06

Happy Birthday Lucy! I hope it feels like all your BFs are helping you celebrate! Also that your DH/P treats you like a princess and your DC/Cs are angels for the day! MN and AIBU in particular keep me sane - so YANBU as your "friend" here suggested - I'm sure it's not taking over your life and so fuck if it is! Your RL friends need to just get used to it - this is where all the cool kids hang out anyway, so have a brilliant day Lucy with the "common" name...!!!

APartridgeAmongThePigeons · 29/10/2013 00:09

RooRooTaToot · 29/10/2013 00:21

This is a reverse thread, isn't it [hmmm] and you're soliciting birthday wishes for yourself. YABU

However, I'll indulge this once Wink

Happy birthday! Cake

*Disclaimer: I'm 99.5% sure it is NOT a reverse, but wanted to give more AIBU flavour to my post.

Happy Birthday to you
You were born in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you act like one too.

From my Lucy to yours.
