People who feel completely alien to you…

[GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER]

I’ll start - people who can’t wait to take the tree and decorations down on Boxing Day (or any time during the following very few days) and ‘have a really good clean’.

2nd (this’ll be popular on MN!) - people who don’t like dogs. 🐶❤️

Had my pants pulled down twice on this in quick succession. Fairplay. It's usually me who likes to catch people out for simple spellings mistakes.

Hoose rice! I know and love this

People who make friends with other couples on holiday, spent the rest of holiday with them then meet up when back in UK.

Anyone from the Real Housewives franchise. How do they have time for all that grooming etc. Theyre like mythical beings.

I agree with her on this because truth is so much crazier (and therefore more entertaining) than fiction.

In my region it's pronounced 'ark. The sentence would in fact be said as
'ark at 'er using them long words. If referring to a male it would be 'ark at ee using them long words. 'Ark at 'er (or ee) is a fairly common coloquial prefix in Bristol which almost always precedes a comment intended to mock.

This 👆

I don't get the modern world at all. What the fuck is an 'influencer'? What is Traitors? What is Tik Tok all about? Does anyone really watch strictly? Who gives a shit what Harry and Megan are doing / what the Beckham's do / etc**

** delete as appropriate

The people who think everyone should drive. I always think they haven’t quite thought that one through properly.

It’s all the things that didn’t fit in my checked in luggage! 😂

Women who are obsessed with weddings . The bridezilla type

People whose houses are always tidy.

God yes. I find talking about weddings so tedious it makes me want to weep.

There was a period of my life in my 30s when I dreaded most female friendship gatherings because of the fear people would go down a wedding rabbit hole.

Or the people on here who tell a poster to leave their disgusting husband when she says she has found out he masterbates, as if they don't do it themselves.

People who say "I don't read books"
People who have umpteen phone conversations per day with their grown up children
People who talk non- stop about themselves without asking you anything.

I think the people most alien to me are the ones on Mumsnet who take harmlessly flippant comments very literally and seriously, and make a point of seeking offence where it’s very obvious none was meant.

Ditto Only Fools and Horses, I get amazed at rational adults who get very nasty if you dare to not worship it.
People who watch all the hideous 'reality' programmes where the wannabees love the flaunt themselves.

Sting.

Also all those women on this site who seem to 'accidentally' see all the messages on their partner's phone yet if a woman complains that her partner has seen something on her phone is told to LTB!
The general hypocrisy seen on MN.

Trump. The complete lack of modesty or self-awareness is both horrifying and compelling to watch.

People who aren’t charitable in any way and only live their lives for their own and their family’s personal gain. People who don’t feel any compulsion to help others.

I don’t like dogs. I don’t actively dislike them (anymore…)
But, I’m not drawn to animals. Never have been, TBH.

I agree re taking down the decs! These days with the tree up are so cosy and nice.

I would add:

People who love being pregnant

People who love breastfeeding

People who hate cats. I don't mean those who just aren't fussed about them. I mean the ones who make hating cats a personality trait. I can't explain it but I know it means they're also misogynists 😂

People who let their children do that high pitched screaming in church, supermarkets, the cinema, swimming pools, everywhere. Why? Doesn’t it pierce the parents’ eardrums too? How can they be oblivious to it? Do they not give a shit about other people who don’t want to be around that?

Same with the type of arseholes who trot a massive slobbery Alsatian round Oliver Bonas and let it snuffle in everything and brush up against all the clothes. What kind of moron thinks that’s ok?

Stepford wives like Hinch and Stacey Soloman. Setting women back decades. Why can’t we empower men to become better homemakers and parents rather than expecting even more of women?

People who ‘love their job’ and are the zealots of the office. They love the job but make everyone else’s life a misery.

All aliens to me!

People

I have to buy premade stuff as I really struggle with food prep and timings. It is really cringe I admit but I'm ND, so I do it to make my life less harder tbh.

I wish I was someone who could prep fresh every day, love cleaning and just be good at home stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm really not so I've gone down with the ship haha.

People who talk about sex as if it’s a chore and something they reluctantly ‘give’ to their partner as some sort of reward for good behaviour

People who worry about germs all the time and are convinced that it’s ’grim’ to use the same towel as their own partner

People who, in their own homes, ‘go into another room’ to
fart

Fussy eaters

People who don’t think men and women can be friends

People who have to message their friends / partner all the time and who can’t cope if they don’t get an immediate answer

People who marry someone they clearly don’t actually like
