to have lost it and gone ape shit at his parents house?

His parents are the two most annoying people in the world. Yesterday we were there at their house. His mother constantly went on and on about sorting the carcass out, his father was attention seeking, coughing and spluttering good everywhere while we were trying to eat, the pair of them kept coming out with ridiculous stories that made them sound like twats, going on about how much money and jewellery they had and how spoilt she was by insisting that FIL and DH buy her new jewellery every Christmas and then to top it off - his father let DD outside after I'd specifically said she wasn't to go out but he opened the door in a cocky manner and let her out in the snow with no shoes on!!!! So I lost it, told MIL that she was the carcass, asked if they were so rich why is their house a disgusting grovel and told them that if they undermine me with dd again they'll be banned from unsupervised contact. Now, nobody (including dh) is talking to me.

had a carcass.

autocorrect is a carcass too

"You're the carcass" is literally the best insult I've ever heard.

Oxfordblue · 22/11/2015 22:55

I think people are being unfair & think perhaps their behaviour has been going on for a while.

Complete if wouldn't want to be eating whilst someone is coughing their guts up etc.

Fil sounds an idiot to let GD out in the garden with no shoes on, not surprised you lost your rag.

Bakeoffcake · 22/11/2015 23:03

Put a carcass in PIL's bed, that'll teach em.

Tapirs · 22/11/2015 23:04

Or next time, pause a moment if you think you might be about to go ape shit in a social situation and consider - What would Audrey Hepburn do?

LavenderRain · 22/11/2015 23:11

I am crying here! DH is asleep next to me and I'm chuckling away quietly to myself!

'One is not the carcass" GrinGrinGrin

Please come back OP

LavenderRain · 22/11/2015 23:14

I think that could be the new trendy name for 2016
hi meet baby carcass and his twin, giblet

Mulligrubs · 22/11/2015 23:22

Now I've read this thread and seen the word carcass so many times it looks wrong. It sounds wrong now too when I say it out loud. I have to say though, "you're the carcass" = best insult I've ever heard.

GloGirl · 22/11/2015 23:26

From all on AIBU.

Catsize · 22/11/2015 23:55

OP, forgot to ask, do you live in Carcassonne?
or Carcassoff?

CandyCaneCottage · 23/11/2015 00:04

Regarding Joey and the Carcass I imagined him straight away with the lollies "HEY YOU BROKE MY FRIDGE!"

PiperChapstick · 23/11/2015 00:04

this thread is not good for my pelvic floorGrin lolling at Prince Phillip letting Geroge out in a cocky manner!

Fatmomma99 · 23/11/2015 00:20

The reporting to SS thing isn't funny, though.

Hygge · 23/11/2015 00:24

I'm half expecting some trouble from my PILs this week.

First sign of it happening, I'm calling them both the carcass.

Canyouforgiveher · 23/11/2015 00:29

"you're the carcass" = best insult I've ever heard.

agree. although my teens would have responded "your face is the carcass" they love the response "your face is ..."

Love this thread. it has everything... except the explanation of why lollies break the fridge. but still I am on OP's side (while awaiting explanation)

Trickydecision · 23/11/2015 00:55

Perhaps MN could give us a carcass smiley to repace the Biscuit

kali110 · 23/11/2015 02:06

If this isn't a movie thread ywbu.
No wonder noone is speaking to you.
Good on your dp for sticking up for his mother!
You speak horribly about his parents.
I bet it would be different if it were yours or your family though wouldn't it?
You acted atrociously, especially in front of your child!
I also get the feeling there was a lot more involved in the ss phonecall...

chilledwarmth · 23/11/2015 02:13

Ok I think you had legitimate issues to complain about but you went about it in a very poor and in my opinion unacceptable way. All future contact with them is going to be awkward now and you could have avoided that.

MelcombeBingham · 23/11/2015 03:15

Presumably an old man got excited by his granddaughter seeing snow maybe for the first time and wanted to show her. To clarify, did he take her out to show her the snow or shut her outside for fun?

If you are offended by the carcass, do please visit the place where that chicken was kept and killed before you ate it. If you find that offensive don't eat it.

Regarding the fridge, were the lollies make of frozen rocks? If not, or if he didn't do it on purpose, it sounds like it could have happened to any of us being a bit keen with the lollies.

I think perhaps you were a little bit drunk when you posted. I hope you had asked someone to look after your daughter first, what with the snowy feet and ice lollies, the last thing she needs is a drunk parent sulking in the spare room.

SignoraStronza · 23/11/2015 04:28

Was the carcass unfit for human consumption op? m.youtube.com/watch?v=5KKYJD09qCk
This is (the) Carcass. Can't believe no other mnrs are fans!

MiscellaneousAssortment · 23/11/2015 05:28

You're da carcass Grin

I'm thinking this thread needs copious tippling to decode!

Greebosmum · 23/11/2015 05:39

I would suggest that if you find them so annoying you just don't visit any more. DH can take DD on his own. You can do whatever it is you like to do. Problem solved. You don't have to see them. You don't have to see anyone you don't want to, you are an adult.

MangosteenSoda · 23/11/2015 05:45

In my culture it's an unforgivably bad insult to call someone a carcass. Consider yourself lucky if your DH does not serve divorce papers.

Poultry related abuse should be limited to gizzard, giblet and beak.

Hope this helpsFlowers
