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.

Daily Mail editor: We don't have enough content - go and start a thread on Mumsnet and get them frothing about something. Don't give the game away though.
Journo: But, but, how can I possible write something without telling everyone it's in a leafy suburb and referencing the exact property value according to Zoopla?!?!

Are your neighbors skint and want a whip round for a maccies? Is that what you meant?

I’m in a semi with a big garden and really fancy a Big Mac now.

Therollockingrogue · 03/05/2020 10:19

Omg i wish my neighbours would go and get the McDonald’s in. What a dream . What you having op?

Thehop · 03/05/2020 10:19

Okay I like Mac Donald’s and my kids would love one, but bringing it home en masse? It’ll taste like shit.

Don’t spoil it, get one fresh!

Therollockingrogue · 03/05/2020 10:21

In these times of corona we have to take what we can get 🤷‍♀️

Qgardens · 03/05/2020 10:21

Surely you can opt in or out of a community McDonalds order?

viques · 03/05/2020 10:23

I don't understand, is the OP telling us that there is a MacDonalds at the end of her lovely street , possibly managed by the family no one speaks to ? Are they now planning to re open the MacDonalds but she is not sure if her husband is still banned from the whatsap group because he says he likes the pickle and anyone who doesn't is a wally. (Chip shop joke for free) . Or are there plans afoot for a mass social gathering in the Macdonalds car park to celebrate not the end of lockdown but we live in big houses and don't care but the people who no one talks too have tipped off OPs husband by semaphore that the mass Macdonalds eat in has been flagged up to the local community police and they are going to raid it and confiscate all the apple pies on the grounds that they are potentially lethal weapons .

"The defendant then pointed the apple pie at my face m'lud and threatened to squeeze the contents into my eyes"

This thread has so much potential, but I think it is probably going to end up abandoned like the last cold chip.

I live in a terraced house with a small garden and I'm up for a McDonalds party.

Kingjarvis · 03/05/2020 10:23

McDonald’s isn’t food

100% beef products aren’t food? Wow, you learn something new everyday

JKScot4 · 03/05/2020 10:24

Well this is going down like a melted milkshake 😕

Therollockingrogue · 03/05/2020 10:24

I bet the one family that you don’t talk about would love your portion of the McDonald’s, OP

Kingjarvis · 03/05/2020 10:24

I’ll be straight to McDonald’s when they open.

SpillTheTeaa · 03/05/2020 10:25

Well do you want fries with that?

Gawdsake2020 · 03/05/2020 10:25

Just tell them no thanks? End of?

TARSCOUT · 03/05/2020 10:25

What about Burger King????

Hairdowntohisknees · 03/05/2020 10:25

THe family they don't talk about prefer Burger King anyway.

DaphneFanshaw · 03/05/2020 10:26

Where is the op?

TidyDancer · 03/05/2020 10:26

Interesting. Never got into a fight over McDonald's before!

Therollockingrogue · 03/05/2020 10:27

Me too @Kingjarvis
Can’t wait

Shouldershrugger · 03/05/2020 10:27

I don't think you're unreasonable to order 4 burgers, 4 fries, chicken nuggets, sugar donut, apple pie and of course a diet coke all for yourself. Go for it 😘😂

Marriedtoapenguin · 03/05/2020 10:27

Do you have a burnt out Aston Martin in the front garden?

Have you children failed to get into the local grammar?

We need to know such things?

SpillTheTeaa · 03/05/2020 10:27

I think McDonalds is a secret word meaning McOrgy street party. That's why the details are so vague and OP's DH isn't going to get his buns.
