To think MNHQ is being unreasonable

… to take down amusing burger & chips wind-up posts that aren’t hurting anyone when I had the perfect witty riposte ready to go?

It’s Friday fucking night. It’s not a post about poo or knickers or dusty vulvas

Ooh. I missed it. Quick. Tell me that it was before this TAAT goes pop.

OP asked AIBU for serving guest posh burger and chips instead of pasta as she was obviously expecting fancy pasta and wine even though I didn’t agree to it?

Everyone said oh no I love posh burger and chips! Drip feed … OP revealed they were out of date burgers cooked in oil then wiped oil off with a paper towel & served them between slices of white Hovis with no condiments at all because she doesn’t “believe in them” . Lettuce was offered but refused by guest. Oven chips. Guest only ate half. OP was offended. Fun was had.

Hilarious thread, haven’t laughed so much in ages and agree a shame it was taken down.

BrutusMcDogface · 26/08/2022 22:15

Dusty vulvas!

😂

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 26/08/2022 22:15

What was the deletion message?

BrutusMcDogface · 26/08/2022 22:15

Also sad I missed this thread about gourmet burgers!

mowly77 · 26/08/2022 22:16

@BrutusMcDogface it was a post-midnight highlight last night when I couldn’t sleep!

@WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps look behind the scenes

I mean yes it was obviously fiction but it was great. There are lots of great fictional posts on here that have entertainment value if they are not offensive in any way!

Are there ever threads about dusty vulvas? Are people leaving their vulvas unattended on a mantelpiece?

FatAnneTheDealer · 26/08/2022 22:20

Bugger! I missed it.

I think MNHQ is totally unreasonable. They say they rarely take down posts. Bollocks. They do it ALL THE TIME and it is usually the best ones.

(Yes, I get it, sometimes it is the right thing to do, but FFS could they not develop a sense of humour?)

mowly77 · 26/08/2022 22:21

@RoseDabel indeed there was a thread that included the words “dusty vulva” in the title late last night that quickly went ‘poof’.

It was not on a par with the level of satire on the gourmet burgers thread however.

dh was displeased with her dusty vulva. Someone suggested Pledge.

Oh no I missed that!

If they're not hurting anyone I wish they'd leave them for entertainment value

FatAnneTheDealer · 26/08/2022 22:23

Godammit, another one I missed.

BrutusMcDogface · 26/08/2022 22:23

😂😂😂

Deliverooaddict · 26/08/2022 22:23

I didn’t make it to the second page sadly! All I saw was that it was served in bread and no sauce. I wanted to know if the burger had salad. If not, OP is a CF.

AiryFairyLights · 26/08/2022 22:24

I’ve voted YABU but so I can go and change my vote in a minute to YANBU - then you can ban me from this thread for changing said vote 😂😂😂

Miacarla · 26/08/2022 22:25

The burger one was pointless. It wasn't remotely funny.

Saz12 · 26/08/2022 22:26

Oh no! I really want a Friday night dusty vulva now. Missed it all.

Bubblebubblebah · 26/08/2022 22:27

Don't worry the op will be back. They regularly are.

mowly77 · 26/08/2022 22:27

@FatAnneTheDealer Yes!! spot on!

I come to this site for a lot of things, including serious advice & support but also entertainment and LAUGHTER.

C’mon MNHQ let us be merry and fun
It’s Friday night & burgers go in a bun
We want a good time, we want a laugh
Some posts are too funny by half

OP posts:
mowly77 · 26/08/2022 22:30

@Deliverooaddict she said salad was an option. Then revealed it was lettuce.

”lettuce isn’t salad hun, it’s just lettuce”

I miss the Friday Night Drunk Thread
<wipes away tears of nostalgia >

ThanksAntsThants · 26/08/2022 22:32

Bugger! I saw that earlier and didn’t click on it, and now I find out it was funny and now it’s gone.

Igmum · 26/08/2022 22:37

Whyyy did I miss this? Why whyyyy???? Can we have it resurrected so that I can read it please @MNHQ? Pretty please? Some of the best threads are works of fiction (thinks of SpanGran fondly).
