I'll start....

It doesn't matter you have two kids and have lived together five years , he's your boyfriend, not your partner if you are not married...

You are a terrible mother if you introduce a partner of less than two years to your children...

The on the beach advert is mentally scarring...

If you are concerned or upset by how an NHS clinical person has spoken to you/treated or not treated you/ touched you up who do you think you are? They have more important things to do and definitely wouldn’t do that.
If you do report an NHS clinical person’s behaviour woe betide you as they won’t lost their jobs you know you stupid cow.
Reporting a “rude” NHS receptionist totally to be expected.

Being “rude” is possibly the biggest sin in the world, after cheating.

Despite rudeness being SO self-evidently appalling people still need to ask “was this rude?” Even when someone shat on a wet fish and slapped you with it just because you said hello.

Women are all terrified of being outside a locked house with a ring doorbell camera after dusk.

If you struggle with any aspect of caring for a disabled child get respite and if that doesn’t exist put the child in residential care.

Every time you and your boyfriend/husband/partner disagree this is a red flag and you should LTB. Regardless of all the other positive things about your relationship. None of that matters just LTB.

People are crying out for someone to do their ironing, to the extent you can replace an entire FT income by taking it in.

No such thing as a pair of trousers or shoes. We all wear 'a trouser' with a suitably comfortable yet stylish 'shoe'.

Plastic garden plants are for the irredeemably common. Almost as unforgivable as gnomes, and huge butterflies on outside walls

Children aren't fed, they are 'offered' food items, like they're customers enjoying a tasting menu in a Michelin-starred restaurant rather than strapped into a highchair rubbing (organic) hummus into their hair.

KimberleyClark · 20/02/2023 09:30

If a man is diagnosed infertile and is a bit shocked about it he doesn’t really want children and you should LTB.

Yes. Or ADHD. Or ‘high needs’. Everything is a ‘need’ now, not a want.

Someone who's bravely spoken up in support of some poor, timid, downtrodden person who is being roared at by a huge, intimidating man, threatening to club the poor, timid one to death for accidentally serving them a drink with ice, instead of without <fill in similar scenario>...

...are never sure, when they get home, whether they have Been Unreasonable, so have to ask MNers if they did the Right Thing.
They are never doing it for positive strokes and the social media equivalent of "the whole bus standing and clapping".

No one wears shoes in the house ever.
No one changes their name when they get married.
No one answers the door.
Landlords are the devil.
Being neuro diverse is the answer to every behavioural issue ever.
Whenever there's a problem in the family, from the title of the thread you just know it's always the in laws.

I misread your fourth one as “labradors are the devil”.

@KimberleyClark or they’ve secretly had a vasectomy and have just been stringing you along for years

HowcanIgetoutofthisalive · 20/02/2023 09:40

Beat me to it @Anapana a 'spa day' solves everything, particularly after ensuring that one has ones 'ducks in a row'. 😂

It's amazing how nearly everyone's MiL is a narcissistic witch and is an awful person for having the brass-neck to ask to meet their GC within 3 months of you giving birth. Dreadfully selfish behaviour.

Some would say they are simply because they're a dog. Not me though lol

Everyone that checks things has OCD and any children with behaviours must have an autism or ADHD check.

Teachers work harder than anyone else.

Men can never find anything in the cupboard even when it's right in front of them. .......oh wait a second that's true!!!

Yes and On the Beach! Who would book with them with that ad??? Worse than the wanker BMW ad from a decade back.

If you don't change your bed sheets and have a shower after sex you are "grim"

En suites are "grim" and even if you have one in your house you must never ever use it

Same for toilet brushes. Also "grim"

One should work from home and not enjoy going into the office. One should never be friends with colleagues and not socialise with them outside of work hours, because 'work is for work' and nothing else, no enjoyment is to be had

I'm genuinely curious about the infamous 'en-suites' as a few posters have said about them. 😂What is the MN reason that one must not have an en-suite?!?

Not speaking for anyone else I juat don't want to listen to my husband peeing when I am trying to get to sleep, and even with the door closed

Or his bottom being close to my pillow

There is no benefit to me having an enquire, the go in my hottub basket of hate

They are grim and vile and it's basically the same as taking a shit in your bedroom.
They are allegedly dirtier than a standard bathroom and under no circumstances must anyone use them for anything other than an emergency wee when no one else is in the house ...although most people would prefer more space rather than an ensuite
One poster didn't even like her DH brushing his teeth in theirs
