What three things would you do?

I would:
fire anyone (not just in my work but everywhere) that ever uttered the phrase "I am not being funny, but..."

insist that my next door neighbours move and the old lovely ones come back.

tell people when they are boring me.

Yes make the Labour Party great again!

Yes ban dog owners and dogs from ruining beauty spots for everyone else

Yes bring back Obama

Yes to sticking T May in a flammable high rise

Yes to making Facebook and Instagram die forever.

Oh another one:

Exterminate anyone who walks on the pavement, eyes down on their mobiles as they steer a crash course towards my mobility scooter, whilst I repeat, increasing loudly until I am shouting 'excuse me' but they are all obviously deaf because they don't look up until I have stopped and they are an inch away from me.

Those who do this whilst walking backwards whilst chatting to a group of friends (mostly schoolchildren) will be exterminated twice.

PS. of course my plan to un-invent all mobile equipment and social media suggested earlier will resolve the problem nicely.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 16/06/2018 18:40

Maisy and mood hoover "friends".

Metoodear · 16/06/2018 18:48

Place all momentum followers in the stocks

To take back Jane mc Donald’s BAFTA and to suggest to her show is actually bat shit

Tell my mil that being a racist twat is unbecoming of a lady her age

The right to personally veto the next US president/UK prime minister and replace them with individuals of my choosing.

The flat upstairs (like a PP), so I can branch out. Obviously this will be given to me free of charge/in exchange for a bit of babysitting, because that’s how things work in Zone 2 of London.

Unquestioning acceptance from DH of any dog that comes into the house. A few large, soppy Rotties would be perfect.

Tunnocks34 · 16/06/2018 18:51

I would get pregnant right now with our third. We can’t afford to right now without massively impacting our lifestyle, but I’m desperate to have another baby. I’m only 29, and the plan is to wait until I am 32/33.

I would love to be less diplomatic in some of the school reports I am writing..instead of writing ‘x can be disruptive in lesson by talking about inappropriate topics during lessons, which negatively affects her progress’ I’d love to say ‘x is rude, obnoxious and openly bullies several pupils in the room. She interrupts lessons to attempt to discuss topics such as smoking weed, giving blowjobs, ‘banging people out’ without a massive change in attitude she won’t be getting a maths gcse. (The sexual comments and drug taking are of course reported to safeguarding who follow the correct procedure)

And finally, walk around with a pack of baby wipes and wipe everyone’s face who has a bright orange face/massive, sharpie style eyebrows/ poor contour/all of the above

househunthappening · 16/06/2018 19:00

To have more DCs but without having to go through pregnancy or childbirth.

Install an off switch into DS - I love the bones of that boy but he needs no sleep and it would be great to just put him on standby for an hour or two so I can have a nice kip.

To have my own dog but someone else will walk it for me when it's raining (this is why I don't have one, I'm a fair weather dog person!)

FrogCow · 16/06/2018 19:02

Have exDP disappear from DS’s life with no ill effects
Silence the cackling witch at work
Have daily chocolate and wine.

  • I would tell people to stop vaping, especially the ones that give out massive clouds of smoke right into my face when I'm walking behind them.

I know I'm being unreasonable and most may have stopped smoking, which is brilliant, but still, some seem to have no consideration for other people around them.

  • Have a live-in nanny. My DC is in the 'terrible two's stage' although it started much earlier. I wish I had someone that could take him off my hands any time day or night when I needed a break.
  • To stop any group of people who think it's perfectly ok to have a lengthy conversation in the middle of the pavement when other people are trying to walk past, then to ignore their existence when they have the audacity to ask to squeeze by.
Flucker · 16/06/2018 20:11

Ban all trampolines, with immediate death sentences for anyone caught using them

Give my very deaf neighbours hearing for one day so they can hear exactly noisy they are

Spontaneous on the spot combustion for anyone who refers to me as "yourself" or themselves as "myself" it doesn't make you sound polite, it makes you sound like a fake pretentious prick

whiteroseredrose · 16/06/2018 20:20

Ah yes. Transport ones. Make cyclists fall over every time they cycle on a pavement.

Make people take a test before they can tow a caravan and they can only tow between 7pm and 5am.

Andrewofgg · 16/06/2018 20:36

Burn Davina McCall at the stake.

Anyone who stands on the left of the escalator or gathers at the end of it is moved on with an electric cattle prod.

Sport in schools is voluntary.

Or are all those reasonable?

NightAndShiningArmour · 16/06/2018 20:46

Play music LOUD. Whenever I want. (Live in a semi detached...)

Start drinking at 4pm every day.

Never wash up again.

Distractotron · 16/06/2018 21:08

Put my dad on an island with enough birds/wildlife/company to make him happy and prevent him from ever needing my company again because he drives me mad and upsets me and I don’t need that because I’m doing ok now

Make DP realise he needs to stop his unhealthy habits and make him do everything possible to get healthy and look after himself. Because I really love him and want him to be here for a long long time.

Make exH unable to care for the kids in a way that won’t traumatise them because I want them here all the time but don’t want them to ever be upset.

Make the owner of the gym I go to be able to keep going for the next 20 years because he and his DP are fab and do such a lot for the kids and young adults with special needs that go there and I hope it will keep going always.

Is this actually a wish list? I could keep going Grin

  • make my niece achieve more than she could ever dream of and know that she did it all herself (which would always be the case).
Extravagant · 16/06/2018 21:11
  1. Unfriend anyone who uses the ‘feeling blessed’ status on Facebook (but I already do this).
  1. Ban all parties/noise creating activities etc near me from 7pm onwards.
  1. Demand that ERNIE makes my premium bonds win the big prize for once.
Wallywobbles · 16/06/2018 21:28

Make it so a person can vote in tv talent shows or general elections but not both

Grin
Andrewofgg · 16/06/2018 21:55

Wallywobbles - you are a genius!

OliviaBenson · 16/06/2018 22:04

Ban fake grass.

Make idiotic/lazy/abusive men infertile.

Stop brexit and make everyone that voted leave move to their own island.

Afonavon · 16/06/2018 22:06

I’d happily ban dog walkers (and the inevitable shitting dogs) in the park. My kids have to stay off the grass there is poo or poo remenants on the field and it pisses me off no end.

I’d flick my bosses the ‘v’s everytime they spouted nonsense, and point out that they are in fact as thick as mince and not fit to be bosses.

I’d ban kids parties, toddler groups and any enforced talking to people just because they also shagged, got lucky, gave birth the same time as I did.

I’d get rid of parents evenings. I hate them as a parent as do the teachers. Tell me nothing unless there’s a problem.

I’d make all fattening food zero calories and make longing on the sofa a healthy activity.

I’d liposuction all my flab and get skin tightening surgery at the same time. I’d then spend three months off work to recover and eat crisps (zero cals remember!) and watch Netflix whilst a cleaner came in daily to tidy and keep the house spotless.

I’d also get a chef to feed us as I worked out yesterday that I have cooked approximately 9,000 evening meals in my lifetime and hate cooking.

I’d obvously get rid of torries and all world leaders who are a-holes (Trump, Kim, TM, and their ilk). Kind, benevolent leaders , with a social concience would reign.

Money would be shared equally and people would chose jobs they love as salary is equal.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 16/06/2018 22:22

Taser people who can't be bother to stand a queue at bus stops.

Afonavon · 16/06/2018 22:25

I’d force the zumba teacher who left without any forwarding info to return as I have lost the urge to excersise since she went and have turned into a massive fatty.

You're too late because further up the thread I moved all the whining Remainers onto Euro tunnel trains to go wherever they want but not allowed to remain in the UK. Grin

Make Brummie accents illegal (sorry)

Drop Trump in a bear pit

Write a no holes barred expose on my ex boss and have it headline in the Times
