What’s disliked on Mumsnet but very popular in everyday life?

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?

To be fair men that have bigger boobs than women and scrawny junkies should keep their tops on.
For the record I keep my top on because what is underneath would be a crime to inflict on the wider populace of the UK.
But I do wear very nice polo shirts and tee shirts in the summer months.

Happy Birthday! 🎂 🥳💖

I don't know about popular but I refuse to assume that the majority of people in this country wash themselves and their clothes/bedding etc as much as seems to be advocated for on Mumsnet threads on the subject.

Adultery.

Doodles/poodle mixes

May be some truth in that.

You get a lot of that in real life do you? News to me 😂

Drinking alcohol on a night out/meal with friends. The Mumsnet poster is ALWAYS the one driving and doesn't touch a drop.

Also not popular in real life in my experience, but a commonly reviled Mumsnet trope is the DH who supposedly arrives home from a night on the lash or prowl. He subsequently crashes around, waking up the entire household and proceeds to urinate and/or defecate himself.

If I was to believe it could be possible for a MN poster to be petty, I would think that the poster you are responding to is upset with the use of the word bathroom instead of toilet or lavatory in your earlier post. Pedantry the last bastion of those stuck for an intelligent response😶

Good one. I've never understood the ferocious hate.

Another one that I disagree with. In real life artificial lawns are loathed. I don't know anyone personally who likes them. Not only because they are appalling for the environment, but also because they're ugly as fuck. They look plastic and they look fake. Never seen one that didn't look shit.

And no, I don't wear 'plastic clothes' and use disposable coffee mugs! (I mean WTAF?) 😂 Seriously who does?! 😆 (I have been known to take the odd flight! So shoot me!)

To dare to consider having sex when your kids are within a 10 mile radius. How some people have managed to procreate when they have little kids & no childcare is beyond me 🙄

I agree with this. Nature is beautiful - I wouldnt enjoy plastic trees so why would I enjoy plastic grass? part of the beauty of nature is that its natural and smells glorious

Kids watching screens.
Dogs, dogs and more dogs.
Processed food.

Any sex life deviating from the norm is usually seen as perverted. I’m quite vanilla but enjoy some other stuff. I swear most MNers do missionary only.

If not been said here before, trashy food like instant mash. There’s a whole thread on it here atm. You should mash your potatoes with a ricer and the finest of organic milk. Preferably milked by your own fair hands from your own cow and grow potatoes yourself organially no pesticides.

But literally in the wild 80% of people middle lane or even worse outside lane hog. All blaming the person in front of them, who is stuck behind the person in front of them etc.

Shops like Iceland. Never seen anyone post they go there on here. Yet their hummus was better than one I got in Sainsburys, it’s my new near supermarket at work and it’s good for frozen veg and crisps like cathedral city crisps. I mean it’s a supermarket ffs!

It's already been said, but the first one that sprang to my mind was answering your door even if you don't know who's the other side of it. In fact just not being scared of absolutely everything and generally giving people the benefit of the doubt seems to be a minority pursuit on here.

I mean I don't think you do always prioritise the safety of children, another user said benefits are a necessary evil to stop children going hungry and you said that's 'absurd and dangerous'

Also are you from the UK or the US? As you wrote 'prioritize'?

Are you personally attacking me here? A bathroom is a room with a bath. It’s pretty simple.

Inviting family and close mates to your wedding. MN is so fucking weird and precious about weddings

Snacking. Particularly in the cinema. Or eating on a plane. You should be able to go a few hours without eating! Yes I probably can, but I like food

Yes. If you dare ask for snacks here you get a healthy list the length of your arm. Pringles are the devils own work on MN.
