MipMipMip · 20/12/2017 12:23

After reading of the four year babysitting I think we need CFOTY awards. Who are your nominees?

HooraySunshine's neighbours in the long running planning application thread in the property section.

All different kinds of bonkers and a stark warning as to the dangers village life!

MipMipMip · 20/12/2017 12:58

ooh don't know that one. Have you a link?

I wish we had a cheekyfuckery topic I could hide.

BringOnTheScience · 20/12/2017 13:00

Wattyyy's wall smashers :-(
I sincerely hope that things are getting sorted there as the last update was awful.

Hope that works, Mip!

MipMipMip · 20/12/2017 13:03

Sorry being dense - what do you mean Paxillin?

Link to the wall smashers thread please?!

The Mexican House Thieves still win my Cheeky Fuckery Award of All Time!

thecatfromjapan · 20/12/2017 13:11

I should imagine paxillin means that she wishes there was a section on MN, clearly entitled "CheekyFuckery", whenceward all such threads might be directed (corralled, if you will,) and thence hidden by those who don't incline to the perusal and enjoyment thereof.

I have to admit, I feel much the same.

And I've never yet used the "Hide" function on MN.

The neighbour who installed a door leading into a Mumsnetters private garden area!! I think there ended up being about 10 threads on it?

thecatfromjapan · 20/12/2017 13:15

I reckon "Cheeky Fuckery" is the singularity point of the black hole that is AIBU.

MipMipMip · 20/12/2017 13:15

Thanks Hampton.

So many memories....

I love a good CF thread, don't understand why some people hate them!

Thecatsatemychristmastree · 20/12/2017 13:17

There's a couple of CFs i remember from this year, WORKzilla and shagzilla (Sorry don't know how to link) but my all time favourite CF has to be the Mexican House Thief Xmas Shock at that cheeky fuckery.

lalalalyra · 20/12/2017 13:29

Ooh I liked the one where the neighbour had been letting their kids use the play equipment in the OP's garden and her son accidentally locked them in. They then complained about the OP not letting the child continue playing in her garden and threatened to get planning onto them. The highlight was the fact the OP worked for planning.

hamptonhangingpork · 20/12/2017 13:32

Can we add ones from the end of 2016 / is there a cut off date? Because I remember a poor poster being shaken down by her brother for hundreds of pounds for gifts for his children.

If I recall correctly, he ended up calling her a "toffee nosed bitch" when she ended the arrangement because she was on maternity leave with her first child.

rabbitsdontlayeggs · 20/12/2017 13:46

It's a toss up for me between the woman who gave away a free haircut at her friends salon as a raffle prize and the poster whose neighbours had been playing in their garden and got locked in!

I love a good CF thread - if you do t like them don't read them?!

MissionItsPossible · 20/12/2017 13:54

I forgot about the CF free haircut at the salon! How did that one end, can anyone remember? I seem to remember the OP went round to the salon with a friend and the CF shouted at her? Shock

SchoolMoney · 20/12/2017 13:58

Mexican house thief for the lifetime achievement award since it went on for years if I remember correctly.

Gluezilla for the wedding category.

Shagzilla for the general one.

I'm not 100% who I want for the work title...

The one where he neighbour gave her driveway to another neighbour and carers to use when OP was at work and told her husband to sort her out for the neighbour category.

Ahhh the memories.... (I shouldn't be on mumsnet so much).

MrsPicklesonSmythe · 20/12/2017 14:04

Can I vote for 6 weeks free childcare CF? With the neighbour who was FURIOUS that OP was saying no to the arrangements she never agreed to. Was that workzilla?

KatharinaRosalie · 20/12/2017 14:05

I also nominate the neighbours who complained that they could not use someone else's private garden and play equipment

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 20/12/2017 14:08

Workzilla, definitely!

Chilver · 20/12/2017 14:11

What was the 4 year babysitting one??

paxillin · 20/12/2017 14:12

Yes, that was what I was trying to say, @thecatfromjapan. Seems a minority view.

I love a good CF thread, don't understand why some people hate them!

Perhaps because many of them seem a tad over-egged.
