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.

@Palatka

People's obsession to be the first to say "cherchez la femme" or "he's telling you who he really is. Listen to him"

And "pack his bag" really gets on my tits, although I don't know why.

I've never had those things said on here but in real life.

Each time it was true. There was another woman. Their behaviour did indicate who he really was and it didn't change.

Name changed for this but regular poster - penis beaker, naice ham, Michelangelo etc.

FUCK. OFF.

And composing long, awkwardly worded texts, emails and speeches when the OP hasn't actually asked for advice on exactly what to say to someone.

The 50 year olds who claim to have ‘no wrinkles at all’. There are loads of them on Style and Beauty and every time it gets said my eyebrow raise is so acute I add to my own 🤬

@titsbumfannythelot

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

Yes! Especially when the "Teacher here!" poster hasn't noticed that every other reply saying exactly the same thing has been from a teacher (lawyer, shop assistant, candlemaker, deep sea fisherman) who didn't need to be so "ta-da here I am, make way please" about it.

@ChwistmasTwee

FUCK. OFF.

To be fair though I have noticed that people actually bother to search someone's history and if they see it is a first post half the thread will he taken up with troll hunting

😂you never see these people in real life either strangely enough.

Am I pregnant threads. I dunno are you?, are you an ovulating woman? Have you had unprotected sex? Have you missed your period?. Can you see line? I've turned this test inside out and taken 25 pics of it at different angles. Maybe wait till your period is late & pick up a digital test, no trickery required

So true! 😂

I find it really embarrassing when posters draft paragraphs long text messages for the OP to send to whoever has upset them. I skim past.

Also the competitive underrating, 'I could never eat a WHOLE tin of soup/tuna' etc

The post is about one little argument with their husband or wife and all of a sudden heads are getting wobbled, ducks are in a row and divorce is on the cards. Does no one work through anything anymore? 😂

I came here to say this one! And it's usually accompanied by a grainy photo... Then people getting the OPs hopes up saying they can definitely see a line, only for the OP to update later that they aren't pregnant.

I can never see the line on the Am I Pregnant threads. Why do posters say they can when there clearly isn't one?

I try to be nice about the line eyes threads because like most of us, I've been there. I do find them a bit annoying though because if you can't tell, if you have to switch the lights and filter and squint, then it's inconclusive at best and really, the only thing to do is to wait a few days and try again. And also because yes, I can hardly ever see anything either and if I can, it's so faint and colourless that, again, it's just inconclusive.

I do partly blame these mega early tests, though...even if you are pregnant, in the majority of cases they still won't detect it six days before you're due, but it's obvious why the claim sells them. TTC is a head game of a time.

Any reference to Penis Beaker makes me we all know what that caused.

I can never see a line on 'Can you see a line?' threads and am always bemused when people can somehow see the invisible line and congratulate the OP on a non existent positive test. Saying thing's like 'my invisible line is now sitting next to me and is 3 years old.

Ooo yes to the "and what did they say when you confronted them OP" when the OP hasn't mentioned confronting anyone, like a oh so cool way of having a dig.

Hot choc - it’s a drink not a way of life.

I'm epically menstrual. (and in a fair amount of pain from adenomyosis) but this has cracked me up. Thanks!

If someone, normally a woman is trying to make someone's life easier or not be confrontational they're being a martyr.

Loving winter because of snuggling in a fleecy throw with hot chocolate and being cosy – aaargh!

This. I fucking hate winter a passion yet I'm told to snuggle up on the sofa with a hot choc and get all cosy. Just fuck off.

Has no one mentioned, hot tubs? They are universally hated on MN especially the inflatable type.

Zoflora
Washing being darked on

Going in one of those has been likened to sitting in a giant bowl of chlamydia soup

Dinning flack jacket!

Why is zoflora annoying? It's just disinfectant.

Bloody donning. Is dinning even a word?!

Let's be reasonable @Roselilly36, they are only attractive to a 'certain type of person' so would never be acceptable on a middle class site like MN. Suspect you'd have to go to Nethuns to find anyone admitting to liking a chav's sex pond

Don't eat fruit, it contains sugar.
