It's not supposed to offend anybody, feel free to add to them.

Single parents should only have secret dates for at least 2 years before introducing children to their new partners.

Teenagers should be kicked out at 18 with no financial support.

If you want friends who reply to messages on the same day and need more than annual meetups, you're needy and demanding.

Teachers are very overrated and don't work harder anybody else.

You need to marry your man immediately because god forbid a woman is financially secure without being married. But, once you are married, if he is ever in a bad mood and pisses you off one day, LTB.

'can't you just move house ?'

Women should be able to foresee exactly how their partner will be after having children with them.

Loads of stuff

Noisy neighbours? Just move to a detached house in the country
No money? Just take in ironing
DM problems? Just go NC
DH leaving the toilet seat up? Just LTB
Feeling overwhelmed with homelife? Just book a spa weekend

etc etc
