Yes fake grass.
People who ignore their children's questions.
People who HAVE to have a car when they live in a big town. Who are always complaining they have no money. Mini cabs are very useful if you need to carry something big. Also they can't park at school (when it's not more than a 20 minute walk away). Sorry this is a personal judgey rant , can you tell Grin because they're always effing late , poor children.

Oh yes tattoos , there's going to be a lot rich plastic surgeons in a few years.

Plastic surgeons and stupid rich people who have work done that makes them look effing worse than they would if the left their faces alone.

Apologies for the typos! No it's not a judgement.!

I forgot people on benefits are only allowed to wear burlap sacks and lick their overlords boots.

Is it really bashing when this happened in real life and tore my family apart, all because of my 'mother' and her selfish ways... you name it: we've had enforcement agents from 3 separate debt agencies, got sacked from work, got kicked out of uni, been sanctioned a couple of times for not sticking to her agreement, nearly got us kicked out of the house on numerous occasions, constantly asks me for some of my wages but hey it's okay, she has her essential cigarettes and snacks. Never mind anyone else.

@TheFirstMrsDV is Disney Nightmare before Christmas obsession acceptable? BlushGrin

Also people who send their DC to mediocre private schools when there are decent, inclusive state schools all around here especially when they expect the state school to then pick up the pieces when DC transfers to said state school a few years down the line.

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 18:46

With respect Costa one person on benefits who is an arsehole doesn't mean you get to attack every single person on benefits. Sweeping generalisations are extremely unhelpful, negative and demeaning. Especially about people on ESA/PIP who didn't exactly choose to be on it did they?
Also, why not just tell your mum no?

MrsJayy · 15/07/2017 18:46

Naughty food is a no nowomen who say naughty of better still filthy food are judged by me i can't stand it Angry

Onhold · 15/07/2017 18:46

That's your mum.Don't use that as an excuse to have a pop at anyone on benefits.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 18:47

Ahhh pandora don't get me started. Such tat.

Also Michael Kors anything

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 18:47

Sorry what's ESA

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 18:49

TheGrumpySquirrel Employment Support Allowance I think it's called, I think it replaced incapacity benefits. I'm not on benefits so don't know the ins and outs, I just can't abide blanket benefit bashing as if anyone on benefits is somehow lesser or inferior.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 18:50

I don't judge people on benefits generally. I was on income support & housing benefit for 2 years back in the day. I know what it's like to scrape by.

BishopBrennansArse · 15/07/2017 18:52

Oh and Costa your attitude does suck. I'm sorry for your personal experience but as a disabled person and a carer having a life outside my home is quite literally saving my sanity. I want a life thank you, not an existence. It's not an extravagant life but it needs to be more than subsistence.

Ekphrasis · 15/07/2017 18:55

Pandora got my goat a few years ago. Suddenly everyone was getting them and being 'taken out to fill them up' - I can't put my finger on it but it was a definite badge you were in a certain club at work, the club that would go get fake grass and call each other Hun.

(Sorry)

Actually they're not so bad now!

Queenofthedrivensnow · 15/07/2017 18:57

Not rtft. Pierced baby ears. Swearing at children.

I've got a glittery loo seat my 4 and 7 year old chose it.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 15/07/2017 18:57

And smoking

Anybody who reads the Daily Mail.....

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 18:59

TheGrumpySquirrel I was too, and I hated being made to feel shit about it. Bishop you shouldn't have to justify yourself to anyone. See THIS is why I hate benefits bashing, because it makes perfectly decent people feel they have to justify their lives and decisions because someone got on their high horse.
So there we go, I judge benefits bashers, because they're out of order.

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 18:59

ZaraW oh god yes!

PEOPLE WHO MISUSE IGNORANT. When they mean arrogant.

This has bugged me since I was 14. I got into a debate about it on the school bus (a long 45 min ride). Everyone said ignorant meant disrespect. I got to school and tried to gather sensible people to back me. But no. They were all ignorant too.

My only argument was the old musical if Alice in Wonderland - the song "if you don't know what ignorant is, that's ignorant...etc".

I was probably very arrogant about it.

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 19:01

Grumpysquirrel my Pandora is tres lovely- all silver only and the kids pick charms now and then. Not saying I'll wear it for life, but it's a lovely thing to wear when they're wee and keep to look upon wistfully when they've all abandoned me and I smell and wear crocs and socks!

I judge Louis XIV. As I told the tour guide it's pretty obvious he never had to cross the forecourt at Versailles in a manual wheelchair. He should have been made to for specifying those bastard cobbles Grin
