Loo brush hating - yes. Fucking annoying it was too.
Cunt using - yes, quite a few. Including me.
LTB for breathing - surprisingly, yes.
Call the police for anything - well no, not this. But call the police when needed, yes.
MIL loathing - again, yes. In fact, if I'd married my first fiancé, I'd be one of them. She is an old witch (I'm still friends with my would-have been SIL)
FB boasting - yeah, some, but not my actual friends, more friends of friends, whose posts show up on my news feeds when my actual friends comment on them.
Benefit cheating - yes - but usually either friends or relatives of people I know.
Inconsiderate parking twats - pretty much every fucking cunt who parks outside the school at drop off time.

Others:
Neighbour disputes - yes, my brother's ex was fantastic at creating these.

Ones I don't know in RL are people who:
have a selection basket of sanitary protection on display for guests
have one of those husbands who worships the ground they walk on and will do anything for them
People who like cleaning ovens who don't actually suffer from OCD (I know 2 who do suffer from OCD, I mean genuinely properly do suffer from it and they're the only 2 people I know who enjoy cleaning ovens as well - could be coincidence of course)
Anyone who chooses to ask people on the internet if they could be pregnant rather than pissing on a stick and then going to the doc if necessary.

Thumb,id never ask some random stranger for medical advice either, I'd ask my doctor. Wink

'We don't use the word cunt in America. It would be in shockingly poor taste, like yelling "fuck" in the middle of church. '

I used it all the time there. In fact, while riding around with my friend Lex in Denver one fine Spring afternoon, our car was nearly cut off by a gal driving next to us, and Lex called her a 'cumrag cunt'. Our windows were all open. The look on the gal's face was priceless.

I don't know anyone IRL in the UK who has a basket of fucking slippers at the door and forces everyone entering to take off their shoes and put them on.

SenecaFalls · 22/11/2015 14:44

I don't know anyone in RL who uses the C-word. But I'm American.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 22/11/2015 14:47

Well SorryCBA - I think it's ok to ask randoms for opinions on whether or not you should seek medical advice from a doctor, so long as you do then follow it up once people have collectively sucked their teeth and said "GO TO A&E NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!" or similar. Grin

I know that at least one poster has potentially had their lives saved by asking about what seemed to be something relatively trivial, but turned out to be quite dangerous! (ectopic pg, DVT, those things)

wheelsonabus · 22/11/2015 14:55

Loo brush hating - nope
C**t using - I do, but only when alone and usually doing housework.
LTB for breathing - sometimes this advice is useful
Call the police for anything - nope, apart from dodgy neighbour
MIL loathing - nope, but have pain in the arse MILs
FB boasting - yep
Benefit cheating - yep
Inconsiderate parking twats - and yes.

Baconyum · 22/11/2015 15:11

Thumb I know this is a lighthearted thread and I normally love your posts but I can assure you anyone suffering from OCD isn't cleaning because they 'like it' but because it gives them temporary relief from crippling anxiety.

Eg my toilet cleaning ritual takes me 90 minutes trust me I'm not doing it for kicks.

Carry on

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 22/11/2015 15:14

Baconyum - I'm sorry, I wasn't having any kind of pop at anyone who suffers from OCD - I shouldn't have said "enjoys" cleaning ovens, but they both certainly do it quite regularly. They do both have genuine OCD as well, they're not just over-enthusiastic cleaners, honestly. Apologies Thanks

CigarsofthePharoahs · 22/11/2015 15:36

I don't know of any loo brush haters. I have two in my house, dh cleans the loo after a bad day at work. Lots of sloshy noises and muttering.
My mum would probably faint if I said c* and she tells me off for damn and even blimey!
I do know a benefit cheat.
I can only think of one person who should have ltb and she did eventually. As far as I know my other friends have happy marriages.
I never met my mil, she passed long before I met dh. He thinks we'd probably have got on well. I did get on with his dad.

I have OCD and cleaning makes me anxious! It's a funny old world.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 22/11/2015 15:41

Oh, and I do know quite a few fb boasters, I keep them as they're quite unintentionally funny! It's the fb beggars that get me irritated. One lady keeps asking and asking for things as her principles won't let her shop anywhere but John Lewis or charity shops.

captainfarrell · 22/11/2015 15:44

HATE the C word. Never use it. Awful.
I have a loo brush but hate it. Tried not having one and that was even worse!
Have seen FB boasting. Cringe!
My MIL is mildly irritating but otherwise lovely.
Don't know any benefit cheats.
Don't know what LTB is!

captainfarrell · 22/11/2015 15:46

Never called the police. Thank God!

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 22/11/2015 15:47

LTB = leave the bastard.

I have one friend who is a loo-brush hater - as I discovered to my horror the morning after a heavy night at hers, when I'd made a bit of a mess and couldn't find a brush to clean up afterwards. I ended up, yes, having to wrap my hand in loo roll and use that instead - GROSS! far worse than a bog brush and bleach

ZoeTurtle · 22/11/2015 17:38

I know people who say cunt in a casual way. All the rest - nope.

derxa · 22/11/2015 18:32

I know people who say cunt in a casual way Yes- they're usually farmers round my way.

RoseWithoutAThorn · 22/11/2015 18:37

I know people who say cunt in a casual way Yes- they're usually farmers round my way.

It's used very casually where I live too and we live on a farm. It's not a word I nor DH use though. I don't think it would go down well at my school or in his vet practice Grin

RoseWithoutAThorn · 22/11/2015 18:43

Loo brush hating - nope and I've actually asked friends who all look at me like Confused
C**t using - yes, a lot of people where we live use it. I personally hate the word.
LTB for breathing - No. threads make me laugh when a DP or DH have done something annoying and the calls of LTB start. Some people must have very little tolerance.
Call the police for anything - nope, don't know anyone that does this.
MIL loathing - yes, I know so,done whose MIL is utterly vile.
FB boasting - I post a load of pics on my FB if people think I'm boasting they can delete me. I like looking at the pics on my newsfeed.
Benefit cheating - No
Inconsiderate parking twats - YES! When people park in my designated space at work. Don't get me started on the way parents abandon their cars at school.
