I’ve committed a MN crime (actually 3 or 4)

I’ve just stumbled across a MN crime I wasn’t aware of. I’ve recently name changed but have been active on the site for a couple of years.

I’ve “stalked” someone on Facebook! To put into context I have had a look at someone’s FB profile, well the bits they choose to be public. I haven’t camped outside her house and bombarded her with texts, emails, phone calls or any other of the truly horrifying acts of stalking. Before I get shot, real stalking is horrible, I do not condone it in any way.

Does anyone else check people out on facebook or am I a truly bad person for doing so?

Other MN crimes I’m guilty of include occasionally arguing with my husband, not spending every penny of my earnings on my step children and not thinking teachers are all that hard done by. AIBU? Anyone else guilty of MN crimes?

Ooh, ooh
Shout-tick
Swear-like a sailor.
Shoes off in the house -tick ( and there's so much dogshit where I live you'd be mad not to .)
Answer the door-always. Sometimes my friends or family pop in unannounced shock horror.
My eyebrows are microbladed. They look nice actually.
I don't have 300 grand in a pension that I have been building since the age of 21.
I totally do reverse park though and think that people who don't ..can't! Grin

I often think it’s not a mil or a dh problem but a dil one.

CockleburIck · 06/07/2019 21:28

I feed leftover meat to the cat and dog.
I wouldn’t care too much if DH had an inconsequential affair.
I am not respectful of your religious or woo beliefs.
The phrase “fanny gallops” is crass and repulsive.
I have several toilet brushes.
I let tradesmen use my toilet.
I, too, have a pedigree dog and more than 2 children

My dh games and I couldn’t care less. Glad he enjoys it.

Leave your MN badge on your way out OP. How disappointing 😀

GoGoGoGoGo · 06/07/2019 21:35

I swear.

I am nosy on fb.

I own two loo brushes.

GMtoBe · 06/07/2019 21:37

I'm a bit fat

I leave my washing out overnight on purpose

DD watches some TV nearly every day

I do 100% of the jobs at home

After I have eaten only the white meat on a chicken I put the rest in a bag and give to my mum to do ridiculous things to. Thus I have one meal from a chicken.

I love my parents and am not NC with them. I like helping them and am banking on my inheritance.

... crimes I’m guilty of include ... not thinking teachers are all that hard done by.

Don’t get this one. Mumsnet despises teachers.

Korvalscat · 06/07/2019 22:08

I hate ironing but do loads of it because I think clothes look nicer, and some feel nicer, after they have been ironed.
Own 3 toilet brushes - 2 in use and a spare
Check facebook profiles of people I went to school with, ex work colleagues etc.
The tv seems to be permanently on cbeebies/tiny pop. 2 yr old turns off programmes he doesn't like and the 6 yr old is playing but likes to sing along to theme tunes.
We eat take out, ready meals and cooked from scratch meals.
Never used zoflora. Don't use air fresheners or scented candles as they make me sneeze/give me itchy eyes.
This is just the tip of the iceberg!

StumpyinSomerset · 06/07/2019 22:11

I swear - like a trouper.
I'm fat.
I have a loo brush.
I leave my washing out overnight.
I don't wash my towels after every use. They get washed when I think about it.
I change my sheets when I feel like it.
I don't always shower or wash my hair every day.
If I don't shower I have a strip wash at the sink.
I have tattoos - 9 of them at the minute.
I rent my home - from a Housing Association.

My DC have watched an obscene amount of YouTube today. 1st day of the holidays, and they do loads of sporty stuff. It's fine!

I love Prosecco and refuse to bow to the trendy opinion on MN that it is ‘grim’ and ‘a good Cava is much better’. That doesn’t mean I call people hun or have ‘Live life with love’ stencilled on my living room wall.

I don’t drive, don’t intend to learn and will even accept a lift if offered one. In real life no one puts it on a par with donating a kidney.

I think if a woman is expected to keep a percentage of her earnings so that she has an emergency fund in case she needs to LTB, men should be able to make purchases without ‘checking’ with their partner as they are spending ‘family money’.
