SIL and her jangley anklet

SIL has one of those anklets with something on that jingles every fucking single step she takes. She never ever takes it off. It's doing my head in now.

WIBU to just rip it off her ankle and throw it a thousand million miles??!?!

Am on a course and the woman next to me has a jangly bracelet. It is metal and is scraping the surface of her MacBook. Scrape scrape scrape.

Can I kill her?

Omgkitties · 31/08/2016 10:37

Yes, you can.

You'll be doing everyone a favour.

Did they drive up themselves or do they need someone else to drive them back home? Can you pretend you have something come up and they have to leave early?

Omgkitties · 31/08/2016 10:55

They came up on the train, the both have bikes but her mum wouldn't let them come this far on them as it isn't safe apparently. Confused The train station is about a 45 minute walk from our house, doable ofc but unfair with all their bags and I'm a place they don't know well so I'd have to take them to the station and I don't really have time for that today and probably won't now
until Friday afternoon and then that's pretty pointless as we are going to see him mum on Saturday so was taking them home with us. So I'll just put up with her and her noisy ankles haha.

This thread is so funny!

To make it worse, I'm sat in the lounge trying to do some work watching CI channel and she comes in and starts chatting and will not be quite!!

Might suggest they go out today and give them some money for lunch.

I'd have to tell her to be quite. Is she just a noisy person? Anklet and now talking over the telly?

RortyCrankle · 31/08/2016 15:56

I think you should go into a Quasimodo-like hunch and shout 'THE BELLS!! THE BELLS!! while screwing your face into a painful grimace - that might work Grin

Start singing jingle bell rock. You've got the perfect back ground noise for it

Kenworthington · 31/08/2016 16:17

Ha! I've got one on right now. Am channelling my inner Morris dancer

At least wear it on your right ankle if you really, really must Ken.

I've gone all itchy looking that. It's just back to front.

RaspberryOverload · 31/08/2016 16:53

It seems anklets are coming back into fashion. I've seen them in several shops. Luckily, most of them seems to be without the bells.

Kenworthington · 31/08/2016 17:45

I did actually have it on my right but trying out the left. I've felt all lopsided all day Grin

Kenworthington · 31/08/2016 17:45

Are you all mad? The bells are the best bit!

Omgkitties · 31/08/2016 17:54

The bells are the worst part 😂

IMHO I don't see what's so wrong with anklets! The way you talk about them and the women who wear them is vile. Aren't we all suppose to be for our fellow females and empowering them? Not knocking them down for wearing jewellery on their ankles.

Excited101 · 31/08/2016 18:00

I had one of these- wore it for years and loved it! Never had any complaints... I hope nobody secretly wanted to kill me...!!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 31/08/2016 18:02

Suggest that she goes down to the beach and has a paddle in the sea.
Hopefully the combination of sand, and sea-induced rust will silence the jangling

Kenworthington · 31/08/2016 18:09

I think I look fucking badass in my bells. So in your face Grin

Willywolly · 03/09/2016 18:35

How are things now she's left OP? Quiet? Grin
