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’d sell my husband for a Wimpy right now”

Does Wimpy still exist?!
God, I loved their bendy burgers with the frankfurter.

Therollockingrogue · 03/05/2020 10:44

I also think we could be contenders for the family no one talks about

ConstantlySeekingHappiness · 03/05/2020 10:45

I don’t even need to hear further details on this.

I’m already on the side of the only neighbours not on the WhatsApp.

Taddda · 03/05/2020 10:47

FYI lots of Wimpy restaurants are still open for collection /delivery

I haven't seen a Wimpy since the 80's!? When did they reappear!? Do you need a certain house and a WhatsApp group to get one aswell!!??

So many questions!!?

fronttoback · 03/05/2020 10:47

It's too early in the day for this sort of bafflement Confused

I saved hard to buy my forever home, it's detached house in a quiet street, has a nice garden too. But my neighbours are all arseholes, they bring down the tone by ordering in giant boxes of McDonalds and now they are arguing over paying for the chips that came with a meal deal.

Neighbours demanding money for McDonald's

Explain?

He either wants into the group buy and pays or doesn't want in and doesn't pay. Not really much scope for argument there.

YinMnBlue · 03/05/2020 10:50

There is a Wimpy in our high rd.

:smug:

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 10:51

@Taddda good news - they are ubereats. Bad news - you have to have at least one of the following to be part of the WhatsApp group...

  • chintz curtains
  • avocado bathroom suite
  • a basin in the shape of a scallop
  • a plate rack with a collection of plates sitting on it/and or a glass cabinet full of crystal animal knickknacks.

I love McDonalds threads on MN. Especially the sneering.

This ^^

Only 3 posts in and "McDonalds isn't food" Grin

Firstly, thanks for all the sarcastic replies. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then do not say it.

I’m proud of what we have and we have worked very hard to be where we are now. YES it’s a detached house and YES it wasn’t far off seven figures, but that’s the area we live in and we have worked hard for it. Not that it has anything to do with any of you anyway!

My DH told me that when McD’s open they won’t be selling burgers - only nuggets. I wonder if he was lying?

MangoFeverDream · 03/05/2020 10:52

What is the question even?

Jeezoh · 03/05/2020 10:52

Yes they’ve exist and yes, you can still get a bender in a bun Grin

angieloumc · 03/05/2020 10:52

How old are you and all your neighbours OP? Getting into a fight over McDonald's, I've heard it all now. I expect the missing neighbours are jolly glad they're not in your previous group.

Chillipeanuts · 03/05/2020 10:52

😂

DiscoDown · 03/05/2020 10:52

I rent a terraced house with a small garden, but I do have an en-suite. Am I allowed Macdonald's or does one need to be a homeowner?🤔

Wimpys are usually found in service stations now I believe. You used to get your burgers served on actual plates with cutlery in the 80s.

angieloumc · 03/05/2020 10:53

But OP, what has any of that got to do with the McDonald's row?

IcanandIwill · 03/05/2020 10:53

Oh my! All I wanted to know was what the machines row was about! Now I'm utterly confused!

IcanandIwill · 03/05/2020 10:53

Maccies. Not machines. Grrr

cornersteps · 03/05/2020 10:54

All these questions and the best you can do is brag about the cost of your house Confused

I know the problem now. You can't afford to join in the group buy even from the 99p menu because you have a crippling mortgage that means you cannot afford anything other than value beans and rice.

Ponoka7 · 03/05/2020 10:54

It's a shame people started on about the OP's description of her house. Because I think finding out why her DH objected and more about the left out family, would have made a nice change.

Dollyparton3 · 03/05/2020 10:54

Wow. I hope the OP has a tin hat at the ready.

FYI I'm only here for the McDonald's bants
