Okay, so, we all have these thoughts; things we know we DEFINITELY are being unreasonable about and yet we can't help but think them.

This is that thread. A chance to say whatever you want judgement free. You know it's silly, you know it makes no sense but it's how you feel. Feel free to share! It might make me feel a little less crazy.

I'll go first...

My best friend gave birth to twins today and I am INSANELY jealous. Simply because I want twins. I know it's stupid, I know I likely won't even have twins but I want them so badly and now she has them. I feel like she's stolen the twin dust and there will be none left for me!

Like I said - just somewhere to post how you're feeling consequence free Smile

I have a mouse jiggler for when I work from home (twice a week) I just put it on at 8am and fuck off out the house for the day, I’ve even gone on a spa day!
I get my work done in about 1 hour flat so this has been going on for two years and I’ve even managed a promotion! It’s not customer facing so don’t worry, I’m not the one giving you all shit customer service

PixellatedPixie · 28/07/2022 08:36

This isn’t sad at all - it’s low key genius, extremely creative and charming!

@SorryICantIvegotaCatonmyLap Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm with you on this.

I hated my MIL and I am glad she died. I also hate my SIL she has all the toxic traits from MIL and after the latest attack via messages on my DP and I is blocked on every form of message/phone/social media. I had a niece like that too @Lesina and @Itsvalentino but then we both had a few drinks and really talked and now I can forgive who she was when she was a little shit and now really like her!

Darkplaces · 28/07/2022 08:40

I hate my friends DH, he couldn't be more of a dick. I've been avoiding him for over a year and he's just noticed and is turning her against me. I'm dying to spell out all the reasons I hate him.

warofthemonstertrucks · 28/07/2022 08:42

Occasionally I take a day of annual leave and don't tell my family and just loz about the house reading my book or take the dogs for a long walk with no one bothering me.

Long ago before CCTV, Dashcams, social media etc, I did a hit and run on a (parked up) taxi's wing mirror.
I could see it hanging by a thread as I quickly sped away

Oh the shame 😕 🤣

I've done the exact same.

Cab full of people 😂

PGordino · 28/07/2022 08:43

@Whatsthisallaboutconfused , thank you I appreciate that.

I often worry I must have a case of terminal only child syndrome to have found this gift of a new sibling so unattractive, but, yeah, it’s just the feeling of “enough now. I wish you well, but just - no”.

I have found that people who are grieving for a parent, but their grief is harder and longer than normal and it affect their lives and well-being to an extreme degree , are always grieving for an arsehole.

I read somewhere that the grief is not for the parent but for the loving relationship they never had . Rings true to me .

PetraBP · 28/07/2022 08:45

I haven’t had my windows cleaned since before the covid pandemic.

Does that make me a bad person?

PGordino · 28/07/2022 08:47

Bintymcbintface · 28/07/2022 08:27

My sister has a big mole on her chin, nothing wrong with that. It has a crop of thick coarse hairs sprouting from it that turn me and every time I see her I wanna yell for fucks sake pluck that!

Why am I dying at this?

Is it Bucket pronounced as Bouquet?

😂 No it's Louis pronounced Lewis, I guess more like being named bouquet and pronouncing it bucket

@BanditoShipman oh yeah, that's bad, that'd piss me off too

Katyy · 28/07/2022 08:49

I was left In charge of a ward whilst in my second year of nurse training, 30 years ago due to staff shortages. A lady died because I was too scared to walk up the ward and check. Nursing wasn’t for me, never went back. I am so sorry .

itsthursday · 28/07/2022 08:50

I've been meeting a married man for sex for 3 years. We have a lovely lunch ( he always pays) then go back to mine and have rampant sex all over the house. Then he goes home. He'll never leave his wife and I'm single and don't want him to. To look at me you would never guess. There isn't a single person in my life that knows. It's my dirty little secret.

backafyaspookybitch · 28/07/2022 08:52

I wish my neighbour death every night.

He is an alcoholic, plays house music all day, and snores all night, (room directly above mine) so loudly it's like he's in the fucking bed next to me.

If he could just not wake up one morning, that would be fab

Bzzzzzzz · 28/07/2022 08:54

Mine is that I really hate working, wish I only had to work part-time, something like 15 hours a week would be ideal. I only work full time to pay the bills!

I want to be a kept woman. I want all my rights, all my abilities to earn money in whatever field I want...I just don't want to actually have to work.

Ha same!

Although being a (secretly) lazy cow I would also pay for cleaning, cooking etc and do bugger all when DS is at school

YRGAM · 28/07/2022 08:58

We're in a holiday cottage and it's my turn for a lie in. DP and DS are in the front room and I just want them to both f off so I can sleep without DS trying to come in

peridito · 28/07/2022 08:59

I have a very well paid job due to a professional qualification I have.

I cheated on every exam I took for the qualification. I kept my phone on me and looked up the answers in the toilet. One time, I took too long so I faked a migraine and the invigilators looked after me.
@Cccccheater -well done .Delighted to hear this .So many exams test the ability to pass exams and have no bearing on ability to do a job/enter a profession .

Cliff1975 · 28/07/2022 08:59

I absolutely hate my MIL. I hate what she does to me and what she does to my DH and DC who just cant see it. I hate her like i have never hated anyone.

Bobshhh · 28/07/2022 09:02

I wish my husband earned more, I'm the higher earner and I look at my friend who works part time and feel hugely jealous.

When relatives on my husband's side announced their pregnancy I felt resentful that they didn't 'deserve' it.

I'm scared that I'll have another miscarriage and I don't want to try again for that reason but know we have to. I don't think I'd be happy if we didn't have children but mainly because all my friends do and I don't want to be left out.

EC1977 · 28/07/2022 09:04

I dislike my SC, have to grit my teeth throughout the whole time they are here

I’m secretly delighted my EXHs life has fallen apart over the last few years, karma 🙌🏻

SewingBees · 28/07/2022 09:05

This weekend I'm going to buy something expensive and beautiful and hide it away. When my husband and I separate it will have pride of place in my new home and I will look at it and know he paid for half. It will help to make up for the fact he hasn't bought me a decent birthday or Christmas present in all the years we've been together.

OldGreyAppleFence · 28/07/2022 09:06

My best friend's daughter is so spoilt, and every time she complains about her behaviour and wonders why it happens I have to stop myself saying, well she is very spoilt you fool!
