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

OP posts:

I don’t think anything will ever beat Mexican House thief.

ItchySeveredFoot · 20/12/2017 15:57

I had my mum and dp hooked on watty's stolen garden thread.

LookAtMyRingsMyRingsMyRings · 20/12/2017 16:43

help! have been reading watty's garden thread and thread 5 finishes with no link to thread 6!! help, someone must have a link to thread 6 please!!!!

paxillin · 20/12/2017 16:48

No-one is forcing you to read the CF threads!

Indeed not. You can equally ignore the posts by people who object to them. I think they are bad news for MN.

  1. CFery, real or invented. 2. Baying mob wanting CF scalp. 3. CF badly punished (job loss, loss of money, unmasked). 4. Thread happy. 5 Escalation, start at 2 again. It's not lovely, even if some of them are possibly real, in parts at least.

I nominate my neighbours cocklodger, who told his mate he could park on my drive for a month.

clappityclap · 20/12/2017 17:20

I vote for the one where the Op's neighbours had put posts on for electric gates on the op's own land.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/12/2017 17:28

I don't believe 50% of the posts on mumsnet now.

The flexi-time CF was a multi-person troll, wasn't she?

LakieLady · 20/12/2017 17:30

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

That is probably my top pick, if only for the lovely bit where the OP's son locked the gate, not realising that the CF neighbours' kids were playing in the garden, so they couldn't get out. And then the threat of reporting OP to the planning department, which was where she worked!

My 2nd fave is the CF dog grooming neighbours who invited customers to park in other people's drives. That included the CF neighbour being told by the council that he could no longer run the business from a residential area, and he was last seen doing a war dance of rage on the pavement.

The CF, builders, Spanish Gran, illegal patio doors thread is an absolute classic, but it's no longer my favourite because of the subsequent collapse of the wall and poor Watty having to move out.

Watty, if you're reading, I often think of you and hope you're back home, if not now, then very, very soon.

FeelingGuiltyAlready · 20/12/2017 17:31

Mexican house thief was 4 years ago, so not sure why it's on a thread about "threads of the year". Maybe because there are slim pickings this year?

cocoface · 20/12/2017 17:50

Can someone link the dog groomer thread please?

TheCraicDealer · 20/12/2017 17:53

Oooh yes, I only caught the start of that one. Also the CFNchildren getting stuck in the private garden.

Don't judge me- DH has just been deployed and I have a lot of time on my hands

KCWW · 20/12/2017 18:01

Wait, the flexi time one was a troll? I'm terribly gullible.

velocitygir1 · 20/12/2017 18:03

The neighbours who used her back garden as a park for their kids!! Then went on a meltdown when the op found out and put a lock on their gate. CFs of the highest order.

Laska5772 · 20/12/2017 18:11

am intrigued as to what happened to Wattyyyy's garden in the end? did they close up the door ? . Th e last thread seems to have been removed..

BringOnTheScience · 20/12/2017 18:14

Laska The update from Wattyy was awful. CFs not found. One of her walls collapsed. She's had to move out. Sad

Beakyplinders · 20/12/2017 18:15

I missed the one about the kids playing in the garden.

Can anyone link in case I can't find It please?

DartmoorDoughnut · 20/12/2017 18:16

Oh god that’s awful! Poor Watty

CheekyRedhead · 20/12/2017 18:21

Kids playing in neighbours garden and getting locked in was brilliant. What happened in the end?

Laska5772 · 20/12/2017 18:48

oh No.. poor Wattyyy..
anyone got a link to the kid in the garden? I missed that one..

FitBitFanClub · 20/12/2017 18:59

I don't think Flexi-time CF was a troll, no. There's an update running now.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/12/2017 19:03

Is there? The original was taken down by MNHQ while they 'were looking into it' and it never came back up.

I think it was highly embellished if there was any truth in it.

bettytaghetti · 20/12/2017 20:00

Lying both threads are still active so not sure why you think they were trolls? Hope not, as FTCF & mother were priceless!
