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

135 replies

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

Gah, finger slipped.

Am I the only one dying to know if the birthday girl has seen this?

something I am...I keeo checking if she has commented. Smile

Oh my, you are all totally awesome. I thought I'd get about 5 replies; have clearly underestimated the wonder of Mumsnet.

Well Lucy is beyond chuffed and has been texting me throughout the day with the number of new replies. She has asked if I can thank you all on her behalf as she doesn't want us (RL friends) to know her username (which makes me highly suspicious about what kind of filth she has been posting about Grin); and she can't name change as she's too busy out enjoying her birthday (contrary to my 'tragic' comment in the OP, she actually has a spectacular social life). Although I too wonder whether she has done a sneaky reply already, there are a few usernames which would be like something she'd pick.

On the negative side, I have been told that I can't possibly top this for next year, and the only way I can come even close is to sort out the Matt Damon thing. So if anyone has his number, do pass it on.

Thanks ladies! (and gents, if applicable).
