I will go first!
You are literally the only person that thinks you are amazing! I had to suffer you for years until I wised up! Even your own kids are starting to see you are a dick. You think giving them money makes you a good dad? Try actually spending time with them and getting to know them you you lazy prick!

I don’t actually need to stay overnight but just want to get away, will blame work and stay in luxury and enjoy the solitude

Babyijustdontgetit · 23/03/2026 15:48

If you paid the child maintenance when you should have for the last 10 years, you wouldn’t owe thousands and now have to claim benefits because you can’t afford to work!

Empty handed as always.

I said to a flatmate once "you like a glass of wine don't you?"

"Yes" he said

"Then how come you never buy any?"

I kinda worked.

You talk over me all the time. I try to say something and you immediately jump in with something you’ve done or think.You think your stories are more interesting than mine or you have already done or know about whatever it is I am about to say.

When I try to start a conversation you just reply a short hmm and look at your phone. I feel shut down and that you aren’t interested in what I have to say

You contradict me all the time.I feel you think you are smarter than everyone else. You aren’t.

Seeing as this is my house and you're just staying here temporarily I think you're totally out of order insisting that the TV be so quiet I can't hear it with this cold. I don't believe you that it hurts your ears because you go to the cinema. I also don't like sitting in the dark in the evenings because the lamp "hurts" your eyes. Why doesn't light hurt your eyes when you're making your models? Why do you think should I not use my deodorant because you're sensitive to the particles? Stop being so fucking entitled!

And it's only Monday

Wow who the fuck do you live with? Sounds unbearable!!

ItsSunnyTodayAgain · 23/03/2026 15:54

SIL, you have controlled your brother and tried to tell him what to do his whole life. You’re unpleasant and abusive and you take after your dad who was also unpleasant and abusive. I know you think you are the “best aunty ever” but having 3 sleep overs in 9 years, and sticking £20 in a card once a year really doesn’t make you a great aunty. I don’t care if you don’t like me, and I don’t care if I never speak to you again 🤷🏻‍♀️

Weeelokthen · 23/03/2026 15:55

I usually just say what i'm thinking I, however am trying my bestest to do less of that 😂
I would love to hear the backstories to some posters though.
Hate to hear of the bullying ones. I hate the bystanders who do/say nothing to protect themselves.

GreyLion · 23/03/2026 16:03

I had one this morning. Felt like telling someone to give it a rest with “so busy” excuses not to text me. A text takes less than 5 minutes and you have more free time than I do… don’t go complaining when you don’t hear from me anymore!!!

It's a long standing friend 😔 She's between houses.

I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't know the half of it. Seriously, my bath is not big enough, the chair is not comfortable enough - the list goes on and on. She's quite a little madam.

There's sod all I can do about it ATM so I sit in my room on MN when I'm not at work. She could sit in her room but she couldn't be bothered to set her TV up for such a short time.

It's a temporary exercise in "letting things go" 😄

PhotosOfTheDog · 23/03/2026 16:04

Why did you have to buy the house opposite us. I didn’t much like you both before but I only had to see you a few times a year. Now there is no escape. Your entitled attitudes are driving me nuts. Stop gawping at us constantly. God I wish you’d fuck right off.

You do have time to read. You may choose to prioritise other things, and that is fine, but I’m so bored of hearing how you don’t have time to read but can send endless social media links.

I’d also like to say these exact words!

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 23/03/2026 16:08

If you have a heart attack, I'll post a letter to the ambulance service.

5128gap · 23/03/2026 16:11

Don't tell me...something just happened. And when it happened it meant the other thing that we'd agreed would happen couldn't happen. But of course, because the thing just happened to happen, I'm expected to accept that these things happen and and when they happen, whatever happens its not your fault. Am I right?

KitchenDancefloor · 23/03/2026 16:18

You claim to be a perfectionist but your work is substandard. Every. Day.

And no, getting AI to do it for you isn’t fooling anyone.

(aaahhhhh - that’s better)

littlegreydevil · 23/03/2026 16:22

You might think your kid is a star in the making but they are middling performers at best and behave like an entitled brat backstage, treating staff and the rest of the cast appallingly.

I don’t want to talk to you about my current situation FIL because I can’t fucking stand you. Your lazy and entitled and a nasty spiteful human being despite the front you try and put on. Knobhead!

Yes FIL can GTF as well. Maybe if you brought your son up better he would be less of a twat! So no I wont go easy on him!

Gettingbysomehow · 23/03/2026 16:25

You arrogant, narcissistic twat. Just fuck off. A senior male at work. But I shall just think it while looking him in the eye.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 23/03/2026 16:26

Oh, this is cathartic. Just agree to the fucking divorce.

booknerdhead · 23/03/2026 16:27

So if I don’t come up with something, nothing is going to happen is it? Surprise me.

(Another party). Right friend you are. I give you books, don’t want them back. You must have yours returned, so I have to treat them like bone china. Joined at the hip to your boring husband, so he has to come along too. Hardly hear from you. Wait until you live alone and see how you feel.

ChaToilLeam · 23/03/2026 16:29

Dear colleague, please stay in your fucking lane.

If you didn't try to do everyone's job for them you'd have plenty of time for your own.

SusanChurchouse · 23/03/2026 16:30

I’m your mother, not your maid. And it would be nice if you could occasionally acknowledge I’m recovering from a serious illness and treatment so sometimes I get fucking tired.

Myfridgeiscool · 23/03/2026 16:34

STOP BEING A DICK and just FUCK OFF.

and breathe…

TheBluntSeal · 23/03/2026 16:38

No I don't want to go to your wedding. I've never liked you since the day I met the member of your family I'm now married to. And now my spouse can't attend (because you are a dick who doesn't pay attention) don't think I am attending.

And while there are some fine people in your family, there are also people I am incredibly LC with and would rather be NC with. Attending a party and having to play nice is something I can't be arsed to do. Not for you, you twunt.

almondflake · 23/03/2026 16:49

You told me in an email and text messages that my telephone appointment was 15.45 this afternoon .
Why then complain that i missed 4 phone calls this morning as I was at work and my phone was on silent ?

Siouxtse1 · 23/03/2026 16:51

If you don't want to do the job any more, resign.

You are lazy, you don't engage effectively with your clients and I'm sick to death of your clock watching. I hope you realise the only reason you aren't on a performance management schedule is because nobody else wants your job either.

But that's no excuse not to at least TRY to look like you want to be there. I've never met anyone who emanates such a hateful, seething presence, roll on four months' time, when I never have to engage with you again.
