AIBU to facepalm at this...

[Fuckyoumenopause]

Or am I just being a miserable, grouchy bitch?

Fuck no, if anyone in my street attempts this I shall be blasting some Rammstein out of my window.

Fucking Reach by S Club 7.

My bum hole is already clenching from the cringe of this.

@SapphireSeptember can't beat a bit of Rammstein!

Facepalm away! My NDN posted this and invited another neighbour to bring her kids up to join in...my eyes rolled so hard they hurt. Worse thing is, her DH is in the shielded group.

I didn't clap this week and I won't be dancing either, enough is enough.

Oh, there is nothing wrong with being a 'miserable grouchy bitch', you're in very good company

FFS, what next??

Why do people feel the need to constantly try and out do each other?

That's all this is:
'Look at meee! I'm so wonderful and caring!' 'I must care the most because I'm doing this bigger, better and louder than you!'

I'm beginning to think SM is the devil as none of this would be happening without an audience to tell them how wonderful they are.

Animal farm, eat your heart out!

Move over on the “miserable, grouchy bitch” bench, I’m coming in.

Gawd I'm enjoying this thread.

OP your self-definition of being 'a miserable, grouchy bitch' does go along very nice with your username. I'll join you in screaming 'fuck the menopause'. Although not at an arranged time on our doorsteps I won't.

Not something I would be interested in, but I wouldn't get too worked up if others did.

Plenty of room on this road for social distancing whilst still being on your own doorstep and not going off your property, although I can see that it could be more of an issue if you live in a terrace that opens directly onto the street.

I'd rather just retire into my own house and read a book, accompanied by a glass of wine and some chocolate.

The extrovert have to destroy everything that introverts love.

Just thanking God I'm not in the UK. The clapping and dancing would have ended me by now.

@SapphireSeptember Yes, Rammstein! Let me know when you’re doing that....great idea

Live and let live I say.
I won't be joining in (it's my worst nightmare!) but if people want to dance on their doorstep as a way to cheer themselves up/ get through another difficult day then good luck to them.
It's one song.
If you don't fancy it just ignore?

I think what really annoys me about this is that it’s having to be organised - enforced fun!

My friend in Madrid says that at 8pm every evening she sits on her balcony and people play records or sing or chat or clap, but it’s happened organically, and it’s different each night depending on which neighbours show up. There’s no expectation. That’s lovely!

play records 😂 showing my age there

I've just seen " clap for the kids who are staying in " scheduled 3pm Sunday.
Wtf?

FFS. Just no!

This is awful on so, so many levels.

What an absolutely fantastic idea.....not.

I clapped.. maybe two times last week.
This week I had a teething baby who wouldn't settle at 8pm. I'm not clapping.
But apparently it's a shame and some of us are filled with apathy and no compassion..

@SapphireSeptember @EstuaryBird @RabbityMcRabbit

Rammstein it is.

@MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1, you've made my week!

@GlummyMcGlummerson that really sums it up 😂😂

S club 7 ffs!

We had this last night... no. I didn't join in.

Lol. We have a neighbour trying to organise something similar here.which is a great idea, because most of us have our front doors not 2 feet , let alone 2 metres away from a neighbour on one side.
And still, theres a handful of the neighbours who are intent on spreading some cheer
Dont think that's all they'll be spreading though.

I wonder if 'shining fucking phone torches a light at the sky has worked?
Must read the news this morning....
