AIBU? Neighbours demanding money for McDonald’s

We live in quite a small but nice street, mainly detached with decent sized gardens. We have a whatsapp group that the whole street is on, barring one family LOL. But we won’t talk about them.

Anyway, DH is the one who reads the group most often and has now got into a massive fight with the neighbours over a group-buy of McDonalds food next week.

@Bunnybigears how many bedrooms do you have?
Less than 4 and you'll have to make do with a Greggs.

shinyredbus · 03/05/2020 12:42

Not far off 7 figures and arguing about Mac Donald’s? 🤦🏻‍♀️

JacobReesMogadishu · 03/05/2020 12:44

Seeing as McDonald are all closed if the neighbours are planning to break in and steal the McNuggets your dh is right to fall out with them.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 03/05/2020 12:46

Ahhh dammit! I was waiting to hear the second of all!

Likethebattle · 03/05/2020 12:49

Oh dear, life and MumsnetHQ can be so very cruel. We will never know now. So many unanswered questions. It's the sort of thing that in years to come Netflix will make documentaries and / or an original mini series about.

I might have to go and howl at the moon for a while to express my inner feelings, I think it is just peeping over those Golden Arches glowing in the mist..........

Is this all because dh didnt want to split the bill evenly between you all because number 9 has ordered too many mcflurrys and Big macs

@QuestionableMouse

Sad It was one of the very few things autistic ds would eat (as in the whole of his diet) He does eat the fish fingers though from there despite not eating them anywhere else. He won't eat the fries at all.

Thighmageddon · 03/05/2020 13:04

Stop it, all of you, STOP IT.

Talk of burger sauce when I have none @heidipi no it's not the same thing.

Bastards the lot of you Grin

I live in a terraced cottage.

I just asked the neighbours if they fancied a Kentucky Fried Chicken. They told me to fuck off.

I bet they would have entered into a lengthy online argument if we lived in 7 figure detached houses.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, then do not say it

Or, if as a PBP, you’re going to start a GF thread at least put a bit of effort into it or don’t start one at all.

DH is a local food delivery driver (picks up from bars, shops, restaurants etc & delivers to the door). He delivered 42 ice cream sundaes to a street with a WhatsApp group last week. Good job it wasn't far from the whippy van!

crispysausagerolls · 03/05/2020 13:23

WHEN IS MCDONALDS REOPENING?!?😍😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉😱😱😱😱😱

lunar1 · 03/05/2020 13:29

I can't believe you banned them before we know what the argument was. I'll bet someone in a cheaper house wants more than their fair share of condiments.

@crispysausagerolls 🤣🤣!!!

I think that this is what your husband wanted, isn't it, OP?

But sadly, he was turned away Wimpy after the unseemly row he had caused on his previous visit.

It wasn't the waitress's fault that they were out of lime milkshake, but after screaming "don't you know how much my house is worth - it's nearly 7 figures", she told him to take his poxy bike and head over to MacDonalds.

The WhatsApp message merely brought to the surface this unpleasant memory, and that''s when it all kicked off for OP...
Am I right, OP? Am I?

You have got to feel sorry for posters like this.

recycledteenager24 · 03/05/2020 13:46

do they own the house though or are they buying it ? you're not a home owner until the mortgage is fully paid off.

Rebelwithallthecause · 03/05/2020 13:48

Why would anyone group buy McDonald’s?

When it is open the people who do want it can surly buy it at their own convenience

peachesandclean · 03/05/2020 13:49

what on earth is going on

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 13:50

@Rebelwithallthecause obviously it’s some sort of tax evasion scam - it’s helped them to buy their (almost) 7 figure houses.
