What's hated on MN, but insanely popular in real life?

Disney World
Starbucks, Costa, Nero etc
Center Parcs
A sensible political stance
McDonald's

What else?

Have no idea why you would allow that tbh. If she was mine, I would be with her.

Agree with your “depends on what the dog is doing” comment.

I love my dog, but I make damn sure she’s not a bloody nuisance to anyone, anywhere. She is not allowed to approach people, bark pointlessly, or make herself a pest. We do not go in kids play areas or non- dog spaces and I always pick up poo and dispose of properly.

The posts that irritate me are the ones that say, “all dogs” are noisy, smelly, full of germs, terrifying attackers that eat people.

My dog is none of these, nor have any of my dogs been, over a lifetime of dog ownership. She keeps me safe, keeps me company and loves me no matter what. She’s the reason to get up in the morning and the reason we go out in all weathers. She was a rescue and she’s so bloody happy with life now she lifts my heart every day.

And she sleeps on the bed next to me.

So Shoot Me 🐾

No you seem fine! My cat sleeps on my bed so I can’t talk.

🙌 pets bring so much to our lives 🐕🐈‍⬛

Why?

Because you think men can become women.

Apologies for bringing up a C-related subject in June, but all too often, parents who ‘lie’ to their young children, and so encourage them to believe in Father Christmas/Santa.

Although if you took out the weekend tv guide, sales for the mail on Saturday would plummet…

They do! I love dogs generally have had 2 in my life. Current cat scared so can’t get one. She sleeps on my bed too. 😀

Agree. It's usually followed by the rather disingenuous, 'I'm confused...'

Calling toilets ‘bathrooms’ is an Americanism. Perhaps the OP is American. I don’t think so though. I think some people use social media a lot these days and start using American words like vacation instead of holiday. I will stick with ‘toilets’.

Yes, that is one of the annoying clichés overused here. As is ‘I bet you’re fun at parties’. And ‘are you the OP’? So tedious to read and written by people with nothing else useful to add.

I have yet to meet a DC traumatised into adulthood, because parents played a little game with them over the Christmas period. Father Christmas is more of a cultural celebration than a lie.

I have never met an adult that believes in Father Christmas and I think DC get over it.

Gosh, what are your thoughts on the tooth fairy?

I think the PP is just saying this is something hated on Mn but not in real life, not her opinion

Oh, apologies x

Slightest sign of disturbance overnight and you get ‘just co sleep’

No thanks. I’ll tolerate DH but otherwise the bed is a food, laptop and child free zone

How does that make me a "creep"?

My post was about what is disliked by MNers, not about what I dislike! In this family we all love FC!

Because it's creepy.

@igelkott2026you just said yourself that they weren't middle lane sitters/hoggers. Therefore not dangerous in these instances. But they are dangerous
