AIBU to want my goat?

OK, so I've read on here that apparently council tenants are getting free goats (on top of getting almost free housing)!

I feel this is massive discrimination against us private tenants who pay full rent. I demand equal rights, and I want my goat!!!

AIBU? 😂😂

And what will you do with your goat? Do you have a troll and a bridge? Will it be a nanny goat that you can milk? Honestly private tenants get my goat.

YANBU

I'm fed up of being a goat-less homeowner

Where's the incentive?

Patriciathestripper1 · 10/04/2017 22:47

This thread is behind g to get on my goat if I had one

elephantoverthehill · 10/04/2017 22:49

Are you a lonely goat herder OP? Perhaps if you yodel the council might start listening.

Patriciathestripper1 · 10/04/2017 22:50

fkin auto correct this thread is beginning to get on my goat if I had one

ExplodedCloud · 10/04/2017 22:51

You get one with DLA too y'know. Apparently some people think you just need to pop in to your GP, tell them you're an introvert, get an ASD diagnosis and Bob's your uncle. Or Betty's your Nanny Goat.
or that could be a pile of shite

ragz134 · 10/04/2017 22:58

Misses the joke entirely and remembers I really want a pet goat, but DH hates them...

elephantoverthehill · 10/04/2017 22:58

Have a GoAt Brexiteers/ Boris/Trump. That usually does the job. see what I did there

Cleanermaidcook · 10/04/2017 22:58

I have no goat, I want one, my local council are withholding my goat coz I don't live in a council house, I'd be a great goat header too, I feel discriminated against 😢

BubbleBed · 10/04/2017 23:00

What?! I want my goat! I'm in a council house, DS claims DLA, i demand it god damn it!

Shockers · 10/04/2017 23:00

DD should have a goat then. Where do we go to collect it? Can we choose which one we like best? 🐐

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 10/04/2017 23:01

I'm an introvert but a private tenant.
Can I get a goat?

FairytalesAreBullshit · 10/04/2017 23:02

Is this like an Easter Present?

donadumaurier · 10/04/2017 23:03

OP may I suggest waiting until your neighbour's goat trots over your rickety bridge and steal it for your own?

Mrsknackered · 10/04/2017 23:03

Can I swap my kid for a goat kid?

ExplodedCloud · 10/04/2017 23:04

Bubble you should have two! It's time for a Daily Mail sad face.

ThornyBird · 10/04/2017 23:06

I would love a goat. A pygmy one, well 2 of them so they could pay together. Dh says no Angry but much like the chickens I will wear him down and convince him it's a great idea one day...

H'mm I wondering if all these goats are being given away, will we see many pairs of goats' skin gloves for sale in 10 years time?

JustAnotherPoster00 · 10/04/2017 23:09

I went out of my way Hmm to develop some severe psychological disabilities on the understanding that I would be given a goat each for my ESA and PIP... they lied Angry

BubbleBed · 10/04/2017 23:09

exploded i have to make the kids pull sad faces too yes? Crossed arms? Sad faces? Holding an empty rope that would hold a goat?

Astro55 · 10/04/2017 23:10

How do you get more than one goat? Do you get more per kid?

SalemSaberhagen · 10/04/2017 23:10

A goat you say? You must be kidding...

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 10/04/2017 23:10

So you make a thread to make fun of a poster's use of kid??? Really?? How bullying and nasty!

SalemSaberhagen · 10/04/2017 23:12

No...that wasn't it at all last. Did you read the thread in question?
