To think a lot of people are just plain weird?

[crunchymint]

The more I read on MN, the more I think lots of people are just plain weird.

The replies were jokes about cats & hairballs "Was his name Tiddles?" etc

I would love to know if the people who wash all their towels every day are the same people who wash themselves only once a week (with a baby wipe at that). I think they must be.

Report it to MNHQ as possible trolling then hiding the thread it so you don't have to see it any more Monumental. Same as Penis Beaker.

There was a stage when every other thread was about what you did with your pubic hair, it was really odd.

But I didn't mind seeing it - the responses were hilarious!

There's an AIBU thread at the moment about what to expect when you are a guest at other people's houses. It's been going a while but it's a good example of the sort of weirdness you get.

That's great if you did Monumental, but there are certain MN topics that I hide without even opening the thread, because I don't find them funny.
Pubic hair and what you do with it is on that list.

I don't know what Penis Beaker is either?
(I've not been on MN very long....)

I don't spend £300 a week on food, but I bet I could if I tried! Just trade up all your brands, buy organic and free-range everything, shop in a higher-grade store etc. Simple!

I think Penis Beaker should be in the same category as Mouldies, rather like Fight Club - don't mention, refer to, or talk about Penis Beaker.

Take it from me Monumental, in the case of penis beaker ignorance is bliss.

You know, I realised recently that I spend an awful lot of my time speaking in different accents. I asked DH if I have always been like that and he said yes.

That's a bit weird, isn't it?

Nah, it's easy! Don't spend £6 on a bottle of Tesco Cava, buy champagne for £40. Don't pay 40p for some SmartPrice Custard Creams, buy some £3 Duchy Originals! We just zone out in the supermarket and don't even consider the most expensive options (supermarkets put them on here so less expensive choices seem more reasonable.)

Because I am a nice person and it's the season of goodwill, for anyone who hasn't read it, here is the penis beaker thread

Please try not to spray tea over your keyboard, wake the baby/dog/DH with your laughing or split your sides.

Thanks Weebo I feel like wide-eyed Innocence in the company of weary Experience!

Oh Sparklingbrook now I don't know what to do - should my curiosity succumb to the temptation you offer or follow Weebo's advice?

It's not shocking or anything Monumental.

It's just a massive pile of shite.

Lots of weird.
I'm the most normal person I know.

I think an awful lot that is said here needs to be taken with a substantial bit of salt. some ppl lie about the strangest of things .

I live quite an unusual life and yet I struggle to believe most of what I read on here. Maybe people build a personna and run with it. The outrage at other people's house keeping standards is particularly hilarious. The reasons for going NC often ridiculous. I often wonder how the human race survived so far.

penis beaker ignorance is bliss. Absolutely.

The germ-phobia on MN is extraordinary and eye opening.

I don't think I know a single person amongst my friends who wouldn't use a hand towel, have a sip of someone else's drink, eat a homemade cake, or any of the other things that are routinely listed on here as signing your own death warrant
