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.

@BilboBercow not true - they are opening a limit number from I think the 15th.

*“ We have a whatsapp group that the whole street is on, barring one family LOL. But we won’t talk about them”

Are they the only grown ups on the street?*

I have a large garden but only a semi detached house, though it is in the South East. One of my neighbours wears a wig and has a shih tsu. My neighbour doesn’t sneak rubble into my bin and he parks appropriately in his own driveway. Am I allowed a McDonalds?

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 03/05/2020 10:34

just realised, OP hasn't included a diagram.

Mlou32 · 03/05/2020 10:35

I'd say the one family who don't partake in the WhatsApp group have had a very lucky escape..

Deathraystare · 03/05/2020 10:35

Well, clearly someone has buried Radishey and family under the patio..along with the Maccy D boxes.. I reckon it was the family they don't talk about.

I think OP may be talking about us 😁

MargotB7 · 03/05/2020 10:35

This is not real.

emilybrontescorsett · 03/05/2020 10:36

Quarentime what do you mean, they have discontinued the Diary Milk Mcflurry????
That was my favourite.
Gutted now.

Ohffs66 · 03/05/2020 10:36

Anyone else now feeling slightly paranoid that this is your street and yours is the family that's not in the What's App group?! 😂

SmileyClare · 03/05/2020 10:37

Look you're obviously so bored you've all turned on each other. It's weird that so much planning has to go into a group order for next week

If possible, get the order delivered at 8pm next Thursday. It will then look like all the neighbours are clapping when the delivery man comes which will be nice for him.

Our estate started a CV whatsapp group and as soon as I was invited I rejected it. These things can just be pointless and take up a lot of time.

MissMogwai · 03/05/2020 10:37

I'm ashamed to say I want to hear more OP. I also want a MacDonald's now too.

Geometricprince · 03/05/2020 10:37

I live in a small semi but we've got quite a big garden and I've no idea what you're on about.

Ravenclawgirl · 03/05/2020 10:37

Ok I'm worried now.

I live in a detached house with a decent sized garden, but we're not in a whatsapp group and we haven't been asked about Mcdonalds.

Oh no! we must be the family no-one talks about.

The shame!

FruChoc · 03/05/2020 10:37

I don't understand? But I am intrigued...

GreenTulips · 03/05/2020 10:39

Are they the only grown ups on the street?

Nope - they’re the renters!

I wonder whether you’ve given such an explanation of your area to demonstrate that there are no poor people there and so it’s not quite the done thing to have arguments with neighbours over fast food? Or because the family excluded from the WhatsApp group lives in one of the few non detached houses and only has a small garden?

Also, are you really laughing out loud at that comment? Really?

MumW · 03/05/2020 10:39

There's no question to vote on. I reckon @Radishey isn't for real.

As an aside, I also can't get around a trip to McDonald's being classed as an essential journey. 🤣

WhereYouLeftIt · 03/05/2020 10:39

"We have a whatsapp group that the whole street is on, barring one family LOL. But we won’t talk about them."
I suspect they're the only family in the street I would talk to, and I'd talk about the rest of you ... Hmm

JKScot4 · 03/05/2020 10:39

@Ravenclawgirl
Me too,but our nearest McDonalds is 7 miles away but the KFC near it is opening 🤔

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 10:39

@MargotB7 are the neighbours no one talks about?

I’d sell my husband for a Wimpy right now.

I don't get it Blush
