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

When I can't sleep at night I like to imagine what I would do if I was invisible. My favourite thing is to go into MIL home and tamper with things so she thinks she's gone mad and perhaps others may think she's gone mad too.

For example take the fuses out of her fridge freezer plugs and blast the heating but turn it off when she goes to check. Open all her windows at night (creepy). Take the handbrake off her car so it rolls a little and looks like she forgot. Give her a sleeping tablet and then take the battery out of her phone so everyone freaks out about where she is and can't reach her. Turn her electric off at the main switch to annoy her, stuff like this.

I usually drift off to sleep doing this.

Omg I do this! I do it and drift off into sleep everytime! I think about what it will be like to be invisible walking into a shop or peoples houses and being able to fly invisible.

SILs seem to be intensely disliked here. I'm not keen on mine, she's not horrible, just dull.

I can't stand one of my partner's children. She is the most entitled people I have ever met, selfish and money grabbing.

I only mentioned that I was thinking of going to that musical and that the tickets were expensive. I wasn't particularly interested. So, I was gobsmacked when you got me tickets to see it. Fortunately I was able to exchange the tickets for something else.

I didn't really see the other play. I lost interest in it, actually. 'Wicked' didn't really grab me. I had arrived at the theatre 15 mins before curtain up and and not had time to eat anything.

I just quietly got out of my seat after curtain up and wandered off into town to get some food. I ended up getting a few snacks from a supermarket and took them back quietly to the auditorium.

Thankfully there was only 20 minutes of the dire crap left on stage before I could give my applause, leave the theatre and go to the pub next door.

I could see from the look on your face the next time I saw you that wasn't what you meant and I'd kinda missed the point of the gift. Well you should have listened.

I’m always really bemused by friends who show off their homes and cars and holidays when they haven’t earned a penny in years.

I understand people are married so it’s theirs too but I can’t help thinking if you were on your own you’d be fucked

I vaguely know someone that pronounces their own name 'wrong' and everyone goes with it. I haven't seen them for years, they have nothing to do with me directly or indirectly, and it still bugs me almost weekly. It's pathetic how bothered I am by this name.

I know someone who does this too. I never ever call her by her name. She doesn't seem to have noticed this!

When I work from home I finish all my work and if I have a few hours left before I log off I have naps. I set my alarm for every 20 minutes, wake up, move the mouse so it doesn't time me out & back to sleep. I do more napping than working.

capedavenger · 28/07/2022 22:33

I have NEVER missed my kids when they used to go to their dad or he took them on holiday

I feel the same way! I love them to bits but when they go to their dad's and people say " oh I bet you can't wait to see them!" I agree but inside I just think "not really???" To be fair it's important that they're safe, happy and well cared for but as long as they are I'm good to go.
I think I just have a heart like a swinging brick.

What did you achieve?

Reigateforever · 28/07/2022 22:36

I fantasized that I would use my ex’s toothbrush to clean the loo but I never did. I regret not carrying it out when I had the chance.

Bakeitmunchit · 28/07/2022 22:37

I had a child free wedding because my mates kid is a fucking arsehole who regularly hits my kid, every other day at school, even at my kids own birthday party!!

I like my friend but could happily not see her kid again

Mikey87 · 28/07/2022 22:37

Do it, you could do it anonymously. You could change your life. Its a brilliant idea

Jenasaurus · 28/07/2022 22:37

I discovered my ex was having an affair and emptied his aftershave bottle and filled it with my piss, he was wearing Eu de toilet literally on his illicit encounters

Also he started taking viagra (due to the affair) I stocked up on grapefruit juice as read the combination could be fatal, sadly he never drunk any

A colleague is two timing her horrible boyfriend and I think it's great. He sounds a tool.

Get a mouse jiggler and then you can have an uninterrupted sleep.

@Goawayangryman ahhh get your grandma some weed that’s great. If she’s a gardener she can even grow her own. Stealth plants very small. It’s so hot on and off she’d probably have success.

Sometimes I stand looking out of my window with my arse hanging out. For some reason I enjoy the knowledge that anyone going past would just see someone looking out of their window and never know about my naked arse.

😂

TrixieMixie · 28/07/2022 22:42

I’m jealous of my friend for marrying a multimillionaire. It’s like she’s Cinderella and I’m the ugly sister. I’m happy for her, don’t fancy her DH and have a great DH of my own, and a senior well paid job. I'd just like all that money….

you can get an app to 'virtually' move your mouse - don't even need to be there

MamaHasAHeadache · 28/07/2022 22:48

Sounds good to me, as well!!!

Show quote history

There was a kid at the school mum worked at called Yvonne

They pronounced it Why-vone-ee

I have two FWB. I don't give a fuck.

Sounds like you give lots of fucks..

the80sweregreat · 28/07/2022 22:50

Well well , people don't 'work from home ' really they are mostly asleep and virtually moving their mouses with apps ! I knew it

There's some very sick people on here.

It’s a great shame you’re so unhappy. Perhaps one day things will improve for you and you won’t feel the need to behave this way.
