For example:
Re weightloss. "When you stop slimming World/ calorie counting/ low carb you will put the weight bk on."
No shit...the point of dieting is to loose/ maintain wright! Any more?!

I’m always surprised when people claim that they are comfy.

mardyandmafted · 25/01/2022 14:25

That people have different ideas, values, opinions and life experiences to them.

Sundancerintherain · 25/01/2022 14:26

@aristotlesdeathray Bravo 👏👏👏👏

Beginit · 25/01/2022 14:27

People that fake typos

MrsGinnyM · 25/01/2022 14:33

Thongs aren't what they used to be.

ConfusedParticle · 25/01/2022 14:37

Haha, fabulous typo,!

in answer to question
MN always act surprised when the tory party prioritise the 1%, when another corruption is reported, or the not-free school meals fiasco. Why people find this surprising at all is beyond me!

slashlover · 25/01/2022 14:38

People who cry with laughter/spit out tea over a simple typo.

WhoppingBigBackside · 25/01/2022 14:45

Thongs aren't for me.

The thing I find weird is the number of MNers who don't have bathroom bins and bog brushes

Mellowyellow222 · 25/01/2022 14:53

Ignoring the typo

People are always surprised that people have different attitudes, lifestyles, approaches to parenting.

Basic statistics seem to surprise many - like average earnings, life expectancy, house prices etc

Many seem to live in a little bubble that stops at then end of their street

When someone is surprised it costs more to heat a 3-story 6-Bed Victorian house than it did to heat their 2-bed flat.

TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo · 25/01/2022 14:54

Have you been on wish.com OP?

@kittenkipper I'd love one of those for DH for his birthday. 🤣🤣

Opus17 · 25/01/2022 15:05

I find it surprising that thong-wearers are not self-conscious about their jiggling butt cheeks.

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 25/01/2022 15:07

MNers who don't have bathroom bins and bog brushes
I have both. Grin

but I have never worn bum floss a thong...

ClariceQuiff · 25/01/2022 15:10

Thongs ain't what they used to be ...

I’m not sure that big pants give you any support. They give you coverage and he opportunity to not have a permanent wedgie…
Gazelda · 25/01/2022 15:17

The only time I've been happy wearing a thong was when I was pregnant and had accidentally bought a pack from Mothercare.

WhoppingBigBackside · 25/01/2022 15:36

@pussycatunpickingcrossesagain, I find that people who don't have bins have a little pile of rubbish in their bathroom - tampon wrappers, used cotton buds, used disposable razors and empty bog rolls. Yuk.

jcyclops · 25/01/2022 15:52

Some people were surprised when Prince Andrew wore thongs on the beach...

... but he was in Australia at the time.

Schmoozer · 25/01/2022 15:53

I MUST have a bathroom bin
I will NEVER have a bog brush or touch one after a very bad experience !

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 25/01/2022 15:54

@WhoppingBigBackside Yup. 🤢
love the name, it's something I'm getting very close to myself
😂

irishfarmer · 25/01/2022 15:54

Thongs are fine IMO. I wouldn't like wearing period pants with leggings.

On the post - I don't even reply to ppl anymore who say "My mum/sis/ friends dog, lost 4 stone on SW but put it all back on when they stopped" oh no shite sherlock, aka they went back to eating crap the whole time and not exercising, exactly like they did before the diet and put the weight back on. Well I am surprised!

jcyclops · 25/01/2022 15:57

Headline: MN is surprised that Jason Momoa wears thongs

Thongs that mn finds surprising that really aren't.

Ok, we need to know what the bog brush did …
