to be a little gleeful that...

[thisismypassword]

A couple I know who think they're the dogs gonads have just bought the ugliest house.

Many of you will say I'm lame and need to get a life. But this has put me in quite a good mood!

That is all.

You are, did you not "get" that op? Shame, you're not the brightest bulb, but I take no pleasure in your lack of intelligence.

Cheers Pike. As you were

I'm more intelligent than you captain. All you've got on me is age. Schadenfreude again!!!!

You said it was schadenfreude, it isn't and words mean something.

You might also want to look up the word moron.

Will do. Thanks for the tip.

Why are people getting defensive?

People aren't defensive. They just can't understand why you feel so smug that someone your don't like as bought a normal looking house.

I can't help thinking you feel jealous and are picking st the house to make yourself feel better.

Very bizarre. I don't like my sil. But I am not gleeful that i don't like her house.

Aw, the wee dafty, she tried hard.

OP "Simply that it's an ugly house. Is that so hard to believe?!"

well you must realise lots of people on MN will live in houses that look just like that....

OP "I know they like it because they only moved a couple of doors down because they can extend the property-- how square is that though??"

"square" as in "good way to make a profit"? Maybe they'll do that and buy a house that even you find beautiful, OP. And you say yourself you live in an ugly house.

you'd have done much better to start a thread telling us what this couple have done to piss you off so much.

But why are they offended. I'm quite sure no one could give a toss what I think, nor I them. It seems that the hate has come from people who live in such soulless boxes and take offence very easily from a stranger on the Internet.

No wonder the OP is afraid of being outed. Imagine people you know in real life finding out you'd posted a thread like this. It's cringe worthy.

I don't need to justify my reasons for disliking them thanks

Well, this is weird.

I've now got "Schadenfreude" from Avenue Q stuck in my head.

I wonder if the dislike is mutual. I wouldn't be surprised.

Did I just get called a bozo for pointing out the op doesn't understand what schadenfreude means?

But harsh...

Such a mental thread. It's brilliant.

Odd. Nothing wrong with the house. Different people like different things so being gleeful that you don't like their house means nothing. They wouldn't have bought it if they didn't like it.

I would much rather live in a house that looks like theirs than yours. Guessing they have a garden and are detached. In fact my nan and grandad lived in a house much like it. It was such a happy house lots of great memories there. You are being silly OP but I'm sure you know that.

Is this you Paul?

Told you, I'll be moving this year to a better house (in my eyes of course)

That's him with his beady eyes

I think that killed the thread. Good night everyone.

Aah but I don't live in a soulless box - my house is extremely unusual, I'd be very surprised if anyone else on mumsnet lived in one the same

We did have a Victorian semi when we first got married - spent a fortune doing it up and were then very glad to move to a new build
