Someone on a FB group wanting these. Got a mouthful of abuse for suggesting it might not be a brilliant idea to put these anywhere near a baby given the obvious naffness choking risks. Apparently they're fine because they just get clipped onto the pram hood and not the baby. Hmm

WTF is the point?!

Ah, headband bashing now. Just need someone to mention ear piercing and I get a line on my 'judgemental mumsnetters bingo'.
Haha! Can I join your bingo game? Grin

ayeokthen · 19/08/2016 23:23

Eh you're sneering at me for sneering at people? It's not comparable, it's exactly the same. Grin

HeCantBeSerious · 19/08/2016 23:24

All those millions of years of evolution and such precious resources we're surrounded by. And they're used to make tat like that. Sad

Of course mrs! You get double money for excessive use of words such as 'vile' or 'hideous', and an immediate win if you spot anybody 'shuddering'.

TwoLittleBlooms · 19/08/2016 23:28

These threads always show some people's true colours, and it isn't pretty.

What a lovely, friendly, non-goody bunch you are. I'm off as my neck's sore having to look up at you all on your high horses.

DesolateWaist · 19/08/2016 23:29

Hang on a minute, 'tat people make and sell on Facebook' used to be popular threads of people saying 'what the fuck is that shit'?

Now this is being judgemental and sneering?

Dobinette · 19/08/2016 23:30

RebelRogue · 19/08/2016 23:32

I've actually seen a baby with one of those little personalised bracelets around her hand AND beady personalised dummy clip...so yeah people ARE THAT STUPID

meck · 19/08/2016 23:32

There have been occasional spats on the Facebook selling threads to be fair. Grin

PovertyPain · 19/08/2016 23:33

I can't sit on a high horse. Sad I tried sitting on a pony once, fell off.

SalemSaberhagen · 19/08/2016 23:33

It really isn't Aye. It's me saying that there is no need to use the word Chav, which is fucking horrible, and mock and be nasty about people who have different tastes to you.

That isn't me sneering in the way that you did, is it?

Rachcakes · 19/08/2016 23:34

Twattery aside, what are they supposed to be?

DesolateWaist · 19/08/2016 23:36

So this Facebook selling thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2462264-To-start-another-Facebook-selling-thread-Hun
Is fine but this thread which is also laughing at shit sold on Facebook isn't?

Usual, nope, never.

EttaJ · 19/08/2016 23:45

ayeok 👍🏻😂 love chavalanche! I usually go for chavtastic but that's too funny . usual wind your neck in. People just love to be offended don't they.

The Huns will be buying these in bulk.

meck · 19/08/2016 23:46

In all seriousness Chav isn't a good word, any variation.

Desolate, lots of long threads, those FB selling page threads but that's where I remember seeing similar decorations to those in the OP. Lots of glittery items, in fact.

ayeokthen · 19/08/2016 23:47

SalemSaberhagen I refer you to my very sarcastic username. Take your moral superiority complex somewhere else, because I'm neither interested not bothered by what you think of me.

TwoLittleBlooms · 19/08/2016 23:50

I really don't understand why people feel the need to sneer at others and be judgemental because they have different tastes in things. Adults behaving so horribly - I hope you don't encourage this sort of behaviour from your children - truly I hope you don't.

Usual, I suspect that is probably true.

Yet you dislike the word Chav being used usual how funny. Stay classy.

Mycatsabastard · 19/08/2016 23:59

Well, this deteriorated fast didn't it?

DesolateWaist · 20/08/2016 00:01

What makes me laugh is the people judging people about being so judgy.

Everyone judges people, all the time, everyone does. And don't claim you don't, you do. You might judge people because they are snobbish or use words you don't like or read the Daily Mail but you are still judging them.
Just because you don't judge people because they have a different taste to you it doesn't mean you don't judge.

You judge people who use the word chav, that is judging too.
