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.

God, I'd love a cheeseburger right now.

Sadly I live in a terraced cottage.

MagisCapulus · 03/05/2020 11:08

The rest of the post was stolen by the hamburgler.

whatdoyoudonow · 03/05/2020 11:08

YES it’s a detached house and YES it wasn’t far off seven figures

Sounds really classy...

Oh, hang on...! Maybe not!

Asaik wimpy still serve in plates with cutlery, the last time I went in one was about 4 years ago...
They used to do stationary with the children's meals Grin

alittlecloudfloatinginthesky · 03/05/2020 11:10

No idea what the OP is on, but I'm hungry after reading this thread!

whatdoyoudonow · 03/05/2020 11:11

I'm missing Wimpy.
There is one not far from here and I'd love a quarter pointer with cheese!

GladAllOver · 03/05/2020 11:11

OP just invite us all on to the WhatsApp group. Then we can see for ourselves what in hell this is all about.
And order ourselves extra fries.

Thighmageddon · 03/05/2020 11:12

Yes I think the op will ask for the thread to be deleted too, as it's ' too outing.'

Grin they really will won't they. I think she might live in the road behind me.

turnthebiglightoff · 03/05/2020 11:13

Oh this is going to get zapped and that will make me sad. Please come back OP we're all sorry we just need to know who's getting what from Maccy D's, that's all!

Chillipeanuts · 03/05/2020 11:14

I have been very good indeed and stayed home for 6 weeks. extended family, I can resist.

The thought of a Wimpy, though, now I know they still exist .... 😁

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 03/05/2020 11:14

This thread has lightened my morning Grin

Also - 🙋‍♀️

RedAzalea · 03/05/2020 11:14

Omg. Only a seven figure sum for your house? Is that all you could afford?

No wonder you are being questioned!

LouMumsnet · 03/05/2020 11:15

Thanks for the reports - 7 figure sum detached house or not, the OP is a previously banned poster and we've now shown them the door - a v posh door naturally, as is befitting their status. Grin

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 03/05/2020 11:15

The rest of the post was stolen by the hamburger.

Genius. Grin

What's a PBP?

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:16

@LouMumsnet please please please don’t zap the thread!

DontTellThemYourNamePike · 03/05/2020 11:16

This is one of the weirdest threads I've ever read. I live in a semi and I like to eat McDonalds from time to time. If I move to a detached property, will I have to give it up? What if I lived in a high rise? Or an apartment? Or a barn conversion? Is there a separate rule for Domino's? I love Domino's, but I might be in the wrong dwelling.

Chillipeanuts · 03/05/2020 11:16

(What’s a PBP?)

lollipoplola · 03/05/2020 11:16

YABU to be having McDonald's delivered to your naice street. Didn't you know that if you have a detached house with large garden the etiquette is to have a pizza van come to the street...

Snazzysausage · 03/05/2020 11:17

I'm sure your house and garden are lovely but we need to know what the problem is with the McDonald's order and more importantly why is there one family in the WhatsApp wilderness? 🤔

TitianaTitsling · 03/05/2020 11:17

Awww boo! @mnhq I was going to live vicariously through OPs maccy d order and imagine l was included in the group. Sad

vodkaredbullgirl · 03/05/2020 11:18

TitianaTitsling · 03/05/2020 11:18

@Chillipeanuts a Previously Banned Poster

So disappointed to get to the end and still no idea what the McD's scrap was about.

We have a street whatsapp group now - it's nice, mostly "everyone still ok?" type messages and swapping books and jigsaws. We are mix of semis and bungalows though, none of which are anywhere near 7 figures (haven't worked hard enough, clearly).
