I think loo brush phobia is mainly (for me at least) due to young DC being able to get near them [shudder]
My loo seems to only need bleach & flushing though - although I'm quite willing to accept that I'm probably a slattern!! BlushGrin

fastdaytears · 21/11/2015 17:24

Chav is a ton more offensive than cunt. I use one in real life a lot and the other never.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 21/11/2015 17:25

I don't have a loo brush, not because one offends me, just that I tip a bucket of bleach into the pan and that sorts out any mess.

I use Cunt when really upset and love my MiL.

I could write a book on parking twats, I live next door to a school but thankfully I now work [in a school] and avoid red mist moments with entitled arses who think they own the fucking road.

allwineismine · 21/11/2015 17:27

I am going to ask at work about loo brushes. Maybe I have some haters in my department and I just don't know about them yet! Last week we had a riveting discussion about washing powders, stain removers and how to keep white shirts/tops white, so no one will be surprised if I ask hie they clean their loo.

laffymeal · 21/11/2015 17:28

I hate loo brushes, they give me the boak, anything fabric or carpetty in a bathroom does. I say cunt all the time, probably because I know a lot of them.

WorraLiberty · 21/11/2015 17:29

Loo brush hating - No
Ct using - Yes
LTB for breathing - No
Call the police for anything - No
MIL loathing - No
FB boasting - Only 1
Benefit cheating - Yes
Inconsiderate parking twats - Yes

I agree 100% with darthvader though. Her list is far less likely to resemble anyone's real life Grin

My next door neighbour gets really irate if someone parks in front of his house. He has a dropped kerb which is fine by me as it makes it easier for me to park. He threatened to call the police on someone who accidentally parked there (it was dark and I don't think the person could see if it was dropped curb. He also knocked my door to ask if my ironing lady was in my house (she has a habit of parking in that space) as she was blocking him in. No the ironing lady was not in my house she is at my door for about two minutes tops. Same neighbour bought a power brush to clean his drive and let all the mud go into my garden.

The other side was a benefit fraud. She was living with a man and claiming benefits and i think he was doing the same.

Someone in my dd class who I had to have words with because of her dds bullying my dd told me that she believes her dc had the right to express themselves and that she never swore at them or got angry with them. I am sure they are going to turn out as fine citizens.

One of my "friends" on FB I have had to hide because her boasts on FB are legendary. The sad thing she has a really nice life and doesn't need to show off about it.

I have four toilets and therefore four loo brushes. I don't understand the whole loo brush thing. What else do you clean the toilet with?

Anotherusername1 · 21/11/2015 17:34

I can honestly say that I never use the word c*nt. It's vile.

And I don't even use f*ck except occasionally in the car.

I don't see how swearing helps. It slips out when you're talking, sure, but when you're typing you have time to read your post before you click send. I think swearing online is silly but I am on the wrong side of the argument on MN! Wink

Ilovetorrentialrain · 21/11/2015 17:39

Anotherusername agreed! You're not alone in thinking that.

SurferJet · 21/11/2015 17:40

I agree with typing swear words & posting them, something very odd about that - I can understand swearing if you're really angry & in the heat of the moment a word slips out, but taking the time to type it out?
Weird.

WorraLiberty · 21/11/2015 17:40

I always cringe when someone posts something like, "The woman down the road has four kids who she constantly screams at, calling them little bastards and cunts. The kids keep kicking their ball at my car and she never stops them. She's normally drunk off her tits anyway".

The cringe comes when someone on MN says, "Could you invite her round for a coffee and offer to look after her children? She's probably stressed and needs a break".

Errrr fuck off! You'd do that yourself, would you? Hmm

SorryCantBeArsed · 21/11/2015 17:41

I swear, can't deny that just not the c word Blush

SurlyCue · 21/11/2015 17:45

Confused we're only allowed to swear when angry? Since when?

Tapirs · 21/11/2015 17:45

If I did, I'd stay well clear of the obnoxious cunts. Grin

SorryCantBeArsed · 21/11/2015 17:47

Pray tell which fuckwit said only swear when angry Shock

Worra I thought the answer was wine chocolate or spa day. Oh hang on that was wrong question. Grin

BankWadger · 21/11/2015 17:50

I

Use cunt occasionally, prefer not to use it for men though as it's insulting to women (arsehole is a nice alternative).

MIL is okay, it's FIL I hate..

Plenty of knob jockey parkers round these parts.

Have told 2 friends to ltb. They both did eventually and are happier for it.

Not aware of any benefit cheats, but endure plenty of fb boasting.

I lead a boring life, it's just stuff that happens.

BankWadger · 21/11/2015 17:51

Missed loo brush phobia, yeah nah.

WorraLiberty · 21/11/2015 17:51

There's nothing weird about swearing online.

Yes you have time to stop, think and type it out.

Some people seem to be assuming that swearing is only ever accidental, rather than deliberate.

WorraLiberty · 21/11/2015 17:52

Fucking spa days are soooo MN! Grin

I actually have no idea what goes on during one of these events.

SorryCantBeArsed · 21/11/2015 17:54

Inconsiderate parking twats yes.

Every evening we take DD to beach. We can rarely get a disabled space as they are full of people with no blue badges who are parking there and going to nearby gym.

ThatsNiceDear · 21/11/2015 17:56

I use cunt all the time. I'm practically a cuntologist.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 21/11/2015 17:57

I go to spa when stressed. And drink wine and eat chocolate

SorryCantBeArsed · 21/11/2015 17:57

Or the spa days I have been on was spent in a variety of steam rooms and saunas, had lunch and a facial listening to pan pipes and whale song and left looking like a prune.
