MN obsessions

[RoughWinds]

Why is MN obsessed with fluffy socks, why not just socks?

Also see new pyjamas, posh chocolate, warm coats, good quality yet inexpensive anything.

Can we use some new adjectives.

I miss when the only thing naice was ham.

Not obsessed exactly, but I don't think anyone on mumsnet has ever made anything in a slow cooker without 'chucking' the ingredients in!

Also the proclamation when an expert has arrived teacher/doctor/nanny here etc etc

“You really don’t like her do you?”

Not an obsession but a godawful smug response to almost every thread.

Weirdly, an obsession with parking is a constant theme.

On "what present to buy" threads. Posters will start with the "posh chocs" shite. Or fancy handcream, posh crisps. Ffs do people actually describe themselves as eating/using posh things. Very weird and awkward.

Yes to the MASSIVE salads and crusty bread. The one that is annoying me lately is Covid being thrown in to absolutely anything.

"I caught my DH having am affair with my mam, I saw them get in to a car together" - WE ARE IN LOCKDOWN DONT YOU KNOW, WHAT WERE YOU EVEN DOING OUT TO CATCH YOUR DP. BECAUSE OF IDIOTS LIKE YOU AND YOUR DP I CANT SEE MY FRIENDS"

Theres a man in my house and he has a knife! MN 'have you always been this anxious op?' or 'OP, you sound hysterical'

Oh also bog standard practises/things being labelled vile/disgusting. Very dramatic.

I miss the naice ham years too op

I don't get mn obsession with loo brushes

Baths and boilers

Present suggestions are always a cashmere bloody scarf.

You should immediately stop helping your DC at 12 midnight on their 18th birthday, don’t ever iron for you DP and never buy a present of any sort for your in-laws,

The quest for the warmest, most expensive, most padded parka coat that looks most like a sleeping bag but also stylish enough to wear on the school run. Daily threads on this.

@JoeCalFuckingZaghe

It can’t just be bread and butter. It has to be LASHINGS of “proper” butter. not envy.

No, no, no, it's LASHINGS of ginger beer. Don't you know anything?

Solicitors always have to crowbar in that they're a solicitor

Throwing on a pair of jeans and a nice fucking top. Whether in response to people who do the school run in lounge wear or describing their post-work drinks. They're always throwing on clothing or chucking ingredients into a meal. Affected bastards.

"Doctor here"

"Solicitor here"

Oh hold the fucking phone, an expert is here. They always repeat what the previous 78 people have said as well. I'm going to start posting "sex worker here"* on random threads.

*I'm not a sex worker.

Armchair psychiatry/psychology. All difficult mum's or ex husbands have narcissistic personality disorders.

"My DH has a female friend/coworker..."

LTB!
He's shagging her/wants to shag her!
I would put a stop to it
Get all your ducks in a row OP.

Taking their kids out to the park in torrential rain, wearing waterproofs.

Just no, put the TV on like a normal person.

Saying that anyone who ever has anything to do with any religion "has an imaginary friend"

Demonstrating how reasonable they are with heir life choices by saying "we own a 10 year old car".

He he "Smug sanctimonious wanker here"

For some reason the way you've phrased your "nice fucking top. Affected bastards" comment has really made me laugh

Home decor and the hate for anything that they think others think will be tacky. Example grey colour.

I always get the feeling that the things they do not like is not because of how they truly feel, but rather, what they think others view as tacky/lower class.

This site is obsessed with class and it’s quite painful to watch, lol.

Being solidly Middle Class.

'Man here.'
'You have a DH problem.'
