Had to take eldest to his volunteering job today - drove past some men putting up scaffolding and in great big letters the company name of C&F Scaffolding. And where I work, there are colleagues who show up as being in CF . In their world I think it's because they work in Core Finance but it's now just so wrong.

So Mumsnet have ruined the letters C and F for me.

What have they "ruined" for you?

Having a spa day. Thanks to MN I'd be eyeing everyone else up and wondering what dreadful situation had driven them there.

I don't enjoy doing T Rex in the supermarket anymore because i fear i will be shouted at.

it was a lifetime ambition for me to eat a fatball but since reeading the affects of eating one on MN, i have binned that ambition

in all seriousness, i cannot go near Waitrose ham anymore. i just think how "naice" it is now and i cannot make myself buy it. fortunately i sill enjoy lemon drizzle and cutted up pear, and my penis beaker reains on my bathroom shelf. the Korean lady however, has decided the garden is to hot for her these days so she now sleeps in my guest room with a fan on

Men.

Thankfully I now know that anything a man does is either financially abusive, emotionally abusive, traditionally abusive, toxic masculinity or a read flag. Of course there's mansplaining, manspreading, mantitlement, man privilege and being a man.

Phew! I was in danger of happily existing side-by-side with my husband.

Post sex - when the husband goes for a "ahem" clean up. My brain always shouts "PENIS BEAKER" at me...

The notion that I am slim, just because I’m a normal BMI and size 10.

Strawberrybelly · 28/07/2018 07:51

Mine is cf too. I keep seeing signs for an estate agent with the initials chf and every time I walk past I think cheeky house fucker. Quite apt them selling houses.

I've always wanted to know, what's the deal with 'naice'?

SharronNeedles · 28/07/2018 08:55

Bedding for me. Every time I look at my bed I can picture the germs and bodily fluids that will have built up since I last changed the sheets. I've gone from once a month to every week and it just doesn't feel enough!!

Ducks...
There's a pond near me with ducks. I pass it often and I'm dying to see them all in a row.

MollyHuaCha · 28/07/2018 09:51

The word 'Ask'.

My mind now instinctively adds 'Me Anything'.

DeegeeDee · 28/07/2018 12:05

Hahaha @Whackytaco. It's very sweet when you see it. Am dreading googling dragon butter now but cannot resist.

Naice was from a shopping list someone found that included "naice ham" I think.
I think it was assumed to have been left by the Hyacinth Bucket type.

Taking my shoes off in someone else's house - but also NOT taking them off. I hover at the front door in a terrible state of indecision. Will they be more offended by me "traipsing in the outside" or by me daring to reveal my socks (or worse, BARE FEET) in public and getting them all over their carpet? Might start doing one on, one off and hope that the sheer battiness distracts them.

ShotsFired · 28/07/2018 18:44

Normal everyday words. Specifically, "sanitary towel" and "tampon".

The term "sanpro" is just awful and so unnecessary.

I always picture it being said in a 100% smug way, but with a real catsbum mouth face at the same time.

Hamandcheesebaguette · 28/07/2018 18:46

Sanitary pads!!!! Feeling overwhelmingly like I must try a mooncup even though I absolutely 100% do not want to at all.

My name and that of my three children are horrific, common, lack imagination and no one should be my friend.
