I’ve put on three stone. It can’t be because I was unintentionally eating biscuits?!

I appear to have put on three stone. But it can’t be anything to do with my actions because I only unintentionally ate the biscuits and therefore it doesn’t matter.

Anyone else done anything unintentionally??

I spend 99% of the day either at my WFH desk, on the sofa or in bed. Purely unintentional.

RUOKHon · 20/11/2020 12:49

Were they other people’s biscuits? Because everyone knows that other people’s biscuits, like other people’s chips, have no calories.

I have told my husband to hide the biscuits because all I do is eat them!

If I unintentionally hit you with my car and you die, I should be forgiven, right? As it was unintentional.

Anything that happens basically doesn’t count even if you did it, provided it was (or you say it was) unintentional. In such incidents it’s best to say “I’m sorry if that happened” because it’s makes it clear that you’re sorry if things happen to happen, but it also means that you’re definitely not responsible for The Happening.

Same thing has happened here.... Very suspicious...

And if you have a sense of humour by-pass, does it also mean that nothing can be funny or light-hearted?

I have unintentionally not done any work yet today. I am unintentionally procrastinating.

Svelteinmydreams · 20/11/2020 13:12

OP you should be in politics. 😁

badacorn · 20/11/2020 13:19

Also if nobody saw you eat the biscuits, it’s zero calories. So nobody saw you, AND you didn’t even mean to eat them- you were basically exercising op. That means you can afford to eat more biscuits.

Blimey eggsymum*
Don't you do lighthearted!!
I've unintentially ate the packet of dairy toffee I bought for my son for when he comes home from work.
Good job he didn't know about them!!

Well I would say it is more forgivable than hitting someone on purpose....

This thread contains the most spectacular example of missing the point I think I’ve ever seen on mumsnet. Grin

Dishwashersaurous · 20/11/2020 13:29

Maybe I shouldn’t aim for a career in satire 😀

I’m pretty sure everyone else got it OP!

MikeUniformMike · 20/11/2020 13:35

OP, you appear to have unintentionally broken the mini-cereal code of conduct.

2bazookas · 20/11/2020 13:44

Congratulations . Have you chosen any names for the triplets?

littlebirdieblue · 20/11/2020 13:47

I've unintentionally sat watching tv all day when I have work to do. I've also unintentionally eaten way more cake than is acceptable, but no one saw me eating it, so it doesn't count 😋

gindinner · 20/11/2020 13:47

If you close your eyes while you eat them, it doesn't count because you didn't see the action

2020iscancelled · 20/11/2020 13:56

I’m about to unintentionally do some online shopping.

It’s not my fault that I have discount codes in my inbox - I can’t be blamed if they send me pictures of things I might like

It’s not my fault that I need new clothes to wear on my body.

TheStripes · 20/11/2020 13:59

I’m unintentionally hiding from the kids instead of home schooling.

IHaveBrilloHair · 20/11/2020 14:02

Snap them in half, then all the calories fall out.

cakewench · 20/11/2020 14:02

Were you standing up when you unintentionally ate said biscuits? Because I'm certain that actually burns calories.

UnconsideredTrifles · 20/11/2020 14:07

Were you just finishing the packet? I'm pretty sure that classes as clearing up, and is totally virtuous - no calories involved!
