To ask you to admit doing the annoying things people on MN complain about?

[GreenLinks]

For an anonymous internet forum, it continually strikes me as odd that people very rarely admit to engaging in the problematic or annoying behaviours complained about on here - it's always someone else doing it, apparently. Whether it's hogging the middle lane on the motorway, having kids who are out of control in public places, being a noisy neighbour or not picking up dog poo, people on MN constantly complain about these things happening around them but if no one on here admits to doing it, who are all these offenders? For example, several people in my neighbourhood are leaving their dog's poo around constantly, but when this is brought up on here every single dog owner loudly exclaims that it it's these dog owners who give them a bad name, that they never go out walking without carrying several bags for good measure! Same with bad driving - people on here love calling out driving pet peeves, but surely at least some people on here are engaging in those very same behaviours e.g. tailgating, driving too slowly or bad parking, that everyone complains about?

Are people on here just squeaky clean or in denial? I admit it, I do hog the middle lane sometimes, there you go 😬

Oh I have a tumble dryer as well, although not used to since energy bills became ridiculous. It's now the place where the odd socks are kept

I'm taking part in an affair, although in my defence I'm single, and the arrangement is just business only, so to speak, no emotional attachment.

What's wrong with toilet brushes????

Ok,

I don't vote - I find politics very ugly with people preaching their views on others and berating other people's opinions. I want nothing to do with it all.

I like Wetherspoons. £10-15 in your purse with a few friends, can't go wrong. I wouldn't eat their food mind...

I can't stand Christmas markets - lots of people slowly walking whilst stuffing their faces with food. Nope.

I let my 9 year old boy watch Inbetweeners.

I don't use use a trolley in Aldi. Who carries one pound coins these days? I just pack my bags for life at the till instead.

And yep I use a loo brush - sounds like some people stack the odds of germs surviving a toilet clean far too high. Once those tiny little microscopic germs down the loo are covered in thick bleach the little fuckers are only headed for destination fucked. No clinging onto a toilet brush for dear life whilst you start scrubbing away is gonna save them once they've been bleached.

@Justdontbejudgy some people here think they are tools for dispatching stubborn poops into the pipes when flushing doesn't work.

I have a toilet brush in every toilet (I gather they are not popular on mumsnet but don’t understand why).

I also encourage my cat to poop in the neighbours gardens… sorry 🫣

I bloody hate pockets in skirts and dresses. They look ugly and ruin the line of the garment. Plus I don't want to walk around with my sides bulging with crap.

2 minutes at 70mph is 2.4 miles… so yes, it matters. P

I speed on the motorway

I'm pretty sure they get gloves on and use some type of cloth or sponge to physically WIPE is off 🤢 although I'd love for some clarification. How is that less disgusting than a toilet brush? What do you do with the cloth? Chuck it? Every time?

My cats probably poo in the neighbours garden. I own a toilet brush. I'm definitely the one with out of control children in the supermarkets/restaurants (I do tell them off though).

Dh is a cyclist - I encourage it makes him happy keeps him fit means I can lie in bed while he careers round the countryside. Do it myself to a lesser extent. That pisses off the MN anti cycling Jeremy Clarkson frothing brigade!

I shop at B and M bargains.

(During covid, according to MN it was usually people queuing in B and M bargains that were irresponsibly spreading covid because they couldn't possibly have been buying anything essential in there...)

They probably sell toilet brushes but I got mine from Wilkos.

I sometimes hang poo bags in trees or leave in a visible spot on the side of a path. I don't leave them there!! If I know I will pass the same way on the way back (and there are no bins around) - I will leave and pick up on the way back to save carrying the entire walk. I reckon that is what is happening mostly when people see these. I think sometimes they just get forgotten on the way back.

I can also remember the last time I got drunk and it wasn't many years ago.

I'm pretty sure they get gloves on and use some type of cloth or sponge to physically WIPE is off 🤢 although I'd love for some clarification.

Go on then, I'll put you out of your misery

I have never come across a skid that a squirt of bleach doesn't shift. 42 years and never had to clean the toilet of skids. Though, I do don gloves and clean the toilet bowl generally.

I also read the Daily Mail online, I can't seem to stop myself.

Yep, this. Hate having people in my house, going out of an evening, making small talk. Also starting to really hate working for a living. I'm in my early 60s though and have done my share of travelling the world, being sociable, answering the door and working for a feckin living!

I have loo brushes. They are IKEA black ones and get bleached regularly but stay black.

Has anyone admitted to putting the loo brush in the dishwasher yet?

Yuk! No!

I seem to recall that one was a troll. It would have to be!

I park in the parent and child bays when I don't have the kids with me.

🤷🏻‍♀️ It's not illegal, I don't give a shit.

Hideous

Yep, don't get to do it much because they're filled with other people doing exactly the same thing.

I’m not precious at all about toilet brushes but a squirt of bleach has always done the trick for me!
