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 haven't changed my bedsheets for months - even during the heatwave

😳

BlossomsOnATree · 27/07/2022 21:46

Probably loads more than previously, as chatterbait has inspired us all to try it!

I think I carry a family curse. All the men who marry into my family die before 50. My dh is approaching 40 and im convinced he'll go young too...
Completely irrational and all me applying a string of coincidences to a narrative.

I was thinking of this today - as a teen I did a sponsored walk for cancer research UK and never donated the money (real money you had to collect from people in those days - I dipped into it once before sending off as I needed money for something for school and then never got round to it and the money ended up being used up). Years later I did donate an equal lump sum to CRUK to make up for it.

I’m not really ashamed about this more shocked by my stupidity - slept with a colleague who looking back clearly just wanted to tick my sort off a list. Had already handed in my notice so didn’t really matter. But very demeaning looking back! I was only 19 so I forgive myself.

As a child (maybe age 10?) my friend and I called a random phone number from a phone box and said in a nasty voice ‘I’m gonna kill you!’ and it was an older sounding man. The instant horrendous shame and regret was punishment enough and I felt horrific for years but now I realise he hopefully had enough life experience to realise it was kids being idiots.

Cathartic thread.

This made me laugh more than it should have done? Were we separated at birth 😁

I really miss that feeling of someone (a boy / man) telling me they like me. I miss being 14 - 22 years old and that feeling of being desired.

100% this

Will now be wondering how many people I pass standing in their window will have the arse hanging out.

With a bit of luck everybody has the sense to name change and it change any revealing details then.

JustlookingNotbuying · 27/07/2022 21:48

capedavenger Sadly, I feel the same about my poor mum who has Alzheimer’s.

dilligaf78 · 27/07/2022 21:49

SIL is jealous of everything and everyone.
DSis was thinking about a caravan, and SIL quickly had to get one. Same with a new car.
SIL has 3 DC but now DSis is pregnant. SIL now wants another baby - it's the one thing she can't have as BIL is dead against any DC - HA! Jealous cow

I loathe my niece. She is a grabby wee fucker… but she is the only granddaughter so we all have to pretend she is an angel. I want to punch her.

Oh my good god same here. My niece is literally revered as some saintly thing - apparently my sil and bil have to parent her differently because she's "too compliant". Like fuck is she!! She lies left, right and centre, steals food from my cupboard constantly, blames everything on my DS who then gets blamed (including her breaking my £90 piano stool by jumping on it, which I literally witnessed... But she said no, he did it pointing to my DS and all the in-laws said "oh well if she's saying that then it must be true as she'd never lie". I was seething. Plus we have to constantly hear about how amazingly talented she is at school, singing, martial arts, ballet, acting... You name it, she's the best at it. It makes me feel sick with mild rage but to be honest I pity her more as she is being moulded to become a seriously fucked up adult. When the world tells her she's not the best and infallible she won't have a clue how to cope with it. But despite my pity she's still fucking annoying.

I'm looking forward to my Mum's funeral ((sadly she hasn't died yet) and our family and her friends noticing I'm not there and wondering why.

The only thing that taints my joy is she wouldn't know I had dissed her at her own funeral.

Do you want them to ask why you weren’t there?

And would you be upset if they don’t?

something horrible must have happened and I hope you get peace of heart and mind one day.

Zone2NorthLondon · 27/07/2022 21:52

I pretend to be on call to avoid events I don’t want to attend. Works every time
oh,nooooo I’m on call and can’t attend how disappointing. Yea riiiiight

Wearefoooked22 · 27/07/2022 21:52

That I hate my sil for the fact she is getting married aboard next year,we have had to sacrifice a lot for 18 months so we can go to the bloody thing!

RomanyfromRome · 27/07/2022 21:53

If someone really upsets me or does something nasty to me. It takes a lot to get me really upset.

I put the evil eye on them then forget them.
It makes me feel better.
Best revenge.

bluegardenflowers · 27/07/2022 21:54

I had an affair with a much younger man and I don't give a damn. My exH was a lying, cheating, abusive piece of shit.

When I was 11 I stole the pencil case and all the pencils of my best friend and feel mortified to this day. I have a stationary obsession.

EveningOverRooftops · 27/07/2022 21:54

My friends child has complex needs and frequently hits, pinches and attacks me and DC if the child feels we’re taking the attention off them. Just last week the child went for my throat and dug their nails in just because. The child also verbally threats to kill, slit our throats, smashes things inc in my house if they’re here to be in control. It’s all extreme behaviour to be in control.

i still help my friend. Still visit but fuck, I see what life they have now, not much of one and their marriage is falling apart because of the disabilities of the one child and the impact on the older siblings, and wish I’d been more firm on the ‘you’re 40 and you’ll have 7 yrs between each child, you probably should have the abortion and it’s the best thing for you’

I don’t tell my friend her child is the reason I’m getting my tubes tied despite wanting another kid. My own child has ASD and ADHD so I know how hard it is but the thought of having a child like my friends (and the risk is there of asd atain, more so for me) fills me with dread.

I don’t want my friends life and wish my friend didn’t have it either.

Wearefoooked22 · 27/07/2022 21:54

Also when my “parents” die I won’t be arranging a funeral,they can stay in the morgue for me.

In case this is a DM journo fishing for material, I'll edit what I was going to say quite tightly. Someone I know pissed in someone else's (bottle of) whiskey, because the 2nd person was a complete tosser. Pissing person had the satisfaction of watching the drinking.

I used to work for a total bitch. We were in a 6 storey building and there was a bar in the basement. Bitch thought she & the barman were besties, but he hated her too because she was always tardy paying her tab. Towards the end of my time with the company it became intolerable, I'd pretend to be out on a work call & go down the rear fire escape to the bar. Barman would add my drinks to my bosses tab which she racked up & paid periodically. She commented on how much the cost of alcohol had gone up. Grin

I sneak a few days extra off each year at work by “forgetting” to put them in the system. I also go to the hairdressers in working hours. Oh and also I book meeting rooms and go and play Candy Crush.

Very senior role. I give that company enough extra time, this is just reclaiming a bit of rebellious balance.

That was great until you justified it in the second paragraph

ErinAoife · 27/07/2022 21:55

I wish my ex husband suffers as much as I did in order for him to realise the pain he has caused me.

This is very funny 😂

OldTinHat · 27/07/2022 21:56

I despise DS2's gf. So does the rest of the family. We tried our hardest but now DS2 has gradually cut every single one of us off - me, his brother, his grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins...and has been NC for over two years. We don't know why, we were always kind to his gf. We don't even know where he lives now and he's only 21. She's older.

I cry a lot because I miss him. But I also wish terrible things on her. Terrible, terrible things. She is not a nice person.
