Airline seats are the new eating grapes in a supermarket

When I first joined mumsnet and it were all fields etc. The great divide was between those who would eat grapes in a supermarket and those who would not. Now it appears to be those who fork out for seats on a plane and those who don't

Derek, has that bloody child not fallen out yet? She's a rude bugger staying put up your chuff like that.

It's wedding season I enjoy!
And parking threads - the subject that keeps on giving.

exLtEveDallas · 27/09/2016 19:11

Ooh yes, and the "is it creepy to buy your DC valentines cards" threads. If completely forgotten them.

Hmm. What else? Too much chocolate at Easter? April Fools upsetting my PFB?

DerekSprechenZeDick · 27/09/2016 19:12

I don't like parking threads. They bore me, no one round here seems to care if someone parks outside their house.

Wedding season is occurring at the moment with the 'child free wedding but I want to take mine' threads

MoonStar07 · 27/09/2016 19:14

Ha ha. I would eat grapes then of course pay for them. I would fork out for seats and always have done

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 27/09/2016 19:18

There are so many different permutations to the parking threads though 'someone just parked in my living room Aibu to leave a polite note requesting they brush up the rubble from my broken wall?' Followed by 'oh first world problems don't you have anything better to worry about that your partially demolished house , like Syria or whether your child can sit next to you on your next flight?'

Am I missing out by not opening them?

I prefer au pair and food related threads.

The whole sausage and mash is junk food thread I loved. Let's me see that Mn isn't real

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 27/09/2016 19:23

Au pair thread make me anxious, I still read them

Don't forget the "I gave DH loads of passive aggressive hints starting directly after Christmas and he still didn't buy what I wanted for mothers'day" threads.

Quiero · 27/09/2016 19:31

And my personal favourite..MIL bough my PFB an advent calendar with chocolate in - the crazy fucking bitch. I wanted to be the first person to give Tarquin chocolate, once he turns 18.

DerekSprechenZeDick · 27/09/2016 19:31

Sooty followed by a 'hallmark are the reason we are all sheep' threads

DerekSprechenZeDick · 27/09/2016 19:33

Quier you are wrong . It's 'MIL gave my 4984 month old chocolate, they had no idea it existed'

Grin

Always do in age in months

Quiero · 27/09/2016 19:35

Grin so true.

MrsGuyOfGisbo · 27/09/2016 19:36

'oh first world problems don't you have anything better to worry about that your partially demolished house , like Syria or whether your child can sit next to you on your next flight?'

I do love to venture into AIBU, mostly for a laugh.

I am amazed how threads that are exactly the same can have a totally different answers depending on the opinion of those in the first 5 posts.

HoneyDragon · 27/09/2016 19:39

Derek. Try luring her out with a baby bottle filled with rum & coke and an open packet of chocolate buttons. And start a thread about it.

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 27/09/2016 19:41

4984 month old! This taamot is cheering me and my shitey sciatic nerve right up

OP posts:
DerekSprechenZeDick · 27/09/2016 19:41

Kind of have an eviction thread going at the minute. Grin

ghostyslovesheep · 27/09/2016 19:42

don't even get started on the big divide between

Father Christmas bring ALL the presents

v

Stockings from Santa everything else from us

and the drama when you live in the first camp and your MIL decides to GIVE YOUR CHILD A PRESENT as it will SPOIL EVERYTHING

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 27/09/2016 19:43

Derek don't bore us with your actual baby, unless you have already booked them seats next to you for the next 3564 months

OP posts:
DerekSprechenZeDick · 27/09/2016 19:45

I've also put a ban on chocolate ever and if anyone buys them anything for Xmas I will burn it while making voo doo dolls.

HoneyDragon · 27/09/2016 19:45

Yes I read it. But the rum only just occurred to me now Grin
