AIBU? Neighbours demanding money for McDonald’s

427 replies

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.

I can't see how a small street of neighbours has enough to talk about to warrant a Whatsapp group?? I couldn't think of anything worse.
Do you mainly gossip about the "barred family".Grin After this row, you will now be the barred family.

"Do you want to put money in as the rest of the neighbours are ordering McDonald's?"
"Thanks for asking but No we won't"

Where's the big argument?

I love McDonalds threads on MN. Especially the sneering.

OP, just tell the group you would never eat anything as common as a McDonalds.

vodkaredbullgirl · 03/05/2020 10:03

Its like a cyptic clues.

We have a street WhatsApp too, someone tried to organise a group purchase of garden paint from a wholesaler but there weren't enough takers. No one fell out. The end.

I would love a McDonald's but I don't have detached house, not sure if this rules me in or out. So tricky.

vodkaredbullgirl · 03/05/2020 10:05

I could murder a big mac now lol

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 10:05

On a separate note - I didn’t think McDonald’s had announced which stores are opening?

emilybrontescorsett · 03/05/2020 10:07

So do most of McDonalds ' customers live in nice, quiet streets, in detached houses? Is that what you have deduced op.

What's the fight about? We need more details.

pinkyredrose · 03/05/2020 10:08

McDonald's? You are all unreasonable!

MaryBerrystolemyflour · 03/05/2020 10:08

Are you all going to eat your McD’s in one of the neighbour’s sexponds?

SauvignonBlanche · 03/05/2020 10:08

detached with decent sized gardens
That’s naice Hmm

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 10:09

@GetUpAgain there is a formula...
Does your home have a conservatory?
Do you have a downstairs loo
What colour is your bathroom suite

If you answer these, divide by 9 (chicken nuggets) you’ll know whether you’re fit to have a McDonald’s WhatsApp group.

Haffiana · 03/05/2020 10:11

Oh, this thread is going to go so badly for OP!
Grin

MaryBerrystolemyflour · 03/05/2020 10:11

The one family not on the group WhatsApp, is it because they won’t answer the front door or because they have a toilet brush?

thenightsky · 03/05/2020 10:11

Pay for your food. Why would you not?

bloodyhellsbellsx · 03/05/2020 10:12

A decent sized garden to eat noice McDonald’s in Grin

But seriously, what are you talking about

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 10:14

Come on op - what’s the row over? Number of chicken nuggets in the order? Some fucker wants their BigMac “plain”?

mollypuss1 · 03/05/2020 10:14

Get ready for the onslaught from the sneery ‘McDonalds is not food’ brigade.

Course it’s bloody food, it might not be food you like or would chose to eat but it’s still food.

Redlocks28 · 03/05/2020 10:14

Are you organising a whip round for the one family who’s not in your WhatsApp group to get them a McDonalds?

Do they not live in a detached house with a big garden?

AStarSoBright · 03/05/2020 10:14

Brilliant, detached houses, nice street, McDonald's and rogue neighbours, all in one thread.

YinMnBlue · 03/05/2020 10:16

Our road has a WhatsApp group.
We have never had a McD hoo ha, but there’s always hope.

PleasantVille · 03/05/2020 10:16

McDonald’s isn’t food

Good to see a fast food knobber so early in the thread

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 03/05/2020 10:16

What a bunch of fucking food snobs .

SOME don't mind the odd McDonalds
Get over it .
