Over 200 toilet rolls in my yoga lounge

I know we mustn't panic buy, but my two children, Jocasta and Oliver, simply must come first. I couldn't bear to think of them struggling in the weeks and months ahead without toilet roll, so yes, we did stock up. Plenty of dried pasta too, but the artisan variety, not supermarket stodge. Oliver wants to make a play fort out of the rolls, and Jocasta is thinking about turning them into a portrait of Greta Thunberg, but I have explained the importance of them and they have been very mature about it. The thing is, my friend who is a single mum (she lives on the local council estate but is actually quite intelligent) has told me she cannot get a single loo roll for her 3 kids (all under 5). I feel for her but I don't want to share, because Jocasta and Oliver simply must come first. Am I being unreasonable?

Lots of people thanking the OP. Smile

You don't get posts deleted for swearing on MN. I fucking hope not anyway.

Waits...

EL8888 · 18/03/2020 19:04

@BelleharePenguin09 l can see why! We have been short on laughs today

Stop fucking swearing. The MN hyacyniths hate shitting swearwords even more than they hate cockwombles who make jokes.

It's funnier the amount of people claiming to find this funny and 'get it' to make themselves feel all high brow

This. Anyone who finds a joke which has been deemed offensive funny is just doing it to be all hoity toity.

Christ the pure arrogance OP. I didnt realise where someone lives contributes to someone's intellect. And you're very irritating that you have 200 odd toilet rolls at home to make effing towers out of but yet cant bare to even give one to your friend. We have struggled to find any and I'm not surprised when theres people like you about, selfish down to the core and I hope that friend of yours is intelligent enough to ditch you as a friend.

PotholeParadise · 18/03/2020 19:32

Oh FFS. I don't mind whether someone finds this funny or not. Senses of humour are very personal.

But not being able to tell when someone is attempting a pisstake? That's concerning.

Vulpine · 18/03/2020 19:51

Of course it's obvious its a piss take but round where I live it's a joke that completely misses the mark

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 18/03/2020 19:55

I have not said it before, but fuck do I miss the old MN where you could have had a highly inappropriate laugh or two.

I think it's relatively recent that the 'you can't make a joke about...' brigade have arrived in such numbers. What I don't understand is why they joined MN in the first place. If you find 'inappropriate' humour so bothersome why would this be your website of choice?

It's like people who move to the country and then complain about the smell of cows and being woken by an over enthusiastic cock.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 18/03/2020 20:24

I'm pissed off, I'm worried, and I might be ever so slightly drunk, already!
bring on the cows and the cocks.

ChicChicChicChiclana · 18/03/2020 20:24

How sad.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 18/03/2020 20:25

What is?

CoolCarrie · 18/03/2020 20:29

Cows and over enthusiastic cocks, two of my favourite things!

Frankiecandle · 18/03/2020 20:29

You know what is fucking funny?

The posters who think the OP is serious.

NeckPainChairSearch · 18/03/2020 20:34

You know what is fucking funny? The posters who think the OP is serious

Does anyone think that? I doubt anyone thought the OP was actually being serious. Not finding it funny isn't the same as thinking the OP was being serious.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 18/03/2020 20:47

They don't.

They just like us to think they do.

Eckhart · 18/03/2020 20:58

being woken by an over enthusiastic cock

Brilliantly phrased.
