Competitive staying home

Have you stayed at home for 5 million years? Have you only left the house to shop for an elderly ladies milk but posted it all over social media? Did you shame your neighbour because their daughter visited them despite being their carer? Did you post abuse because one of your neighbours didn’t clap/stand silent/launch fireworks at the appointed time?

Someone’s dh has arrived to use his manly ways to put us all in our place. Phew.

I have begun to train the pigeons in the back garden to fetch any shopping I need.

What is it with all the pigeons? I am guessing they are having to leave town to find food - but you can tell they are not particularly used to it all as they keep trying to land in floppy bushes and then kind of falling.

What on Earth is going on here?

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 01/05/2020 22:35

And how did I miss it to start with?

LilacTree1 · 01/05/2020 22:36

I think you get extra stars for saying “I care deeply” when you blatantly don’t.

Thepigeonsarecoming · 01/05/2020 22:36

Well that took a dark turn. Explains some of the early messages and language though. Oh well this thread has been quite the journey!

@Thepigeonsarecoming - you win Mumsnet today! This is my favourite post in the entire bucket of joy that is the Coronavirus board of doom. And the fact that so many of the “competitive lockdown” types are whinging about it makes me love it even more. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’ll try my hardest

I do feel slightly shamed now 😱😂

Actually, sorry I’ve just read the whole thread and Phoebe wins Mumsnet today for the total cray-cray of “her” (his?) comments. What a fucking loon!

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 01/05/2020 22:42

There is a thread on site stuff i just reported princess

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 01/05/2020 22:44

Oooh extra stars...is that if i care deeply for something in particular or can i care deeply about anything

Pinkflipflop85 · 01/05/2020 22:47

I feel like ive just been on a crazy ride and have no idea which way is up anymore!

Bet you didn't envisage this when you wrote your op!

Kortnee · 01/05/2020 22:52

@Thepigeonsarecoming is spot on with the op though. My local Facebook group, in the absence of any tourists to rant about have all turned on each other with the craziest level of curtain twitching mania. Including furtive photos taken out of windows and slow drive by videos of people doing their shopping. It's bonkers!

CantSleepClownsWillEatMe · 01/05/2020 22:57

Rufus I misunderstood your post and thought you said you’d started a thread to report Princess! I went to site stuff thinking What? Out of all the crazy on this thread Princess is getting reported Confused?

Then I saw what you were referring to. Plenty of crazy on that thread too...

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 01/05/2020 23:05
Grin

Yeah i can see how that could have been taken

I’m just waiting for princess to put a step wrong and then I’ll be on it like a fly on shit

Though she gave me stars and im easily bribed, sooooo, probably won’t report anything she says....ever

LilacTree1 · 01/05/2020 23:05

Rufus it’s “I care deeply about (anyone not dead or dying of covid)” when they mean “you’re not dead or dying of covid, if you want some kindness, come back when you are, unless you contracted it while buying Unnecessary chocolate in the shop”.

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 01/05/2020 23:06

@CantSleepClownsWillEatMe trust me there's plenty of crazy to report with me too. Just not on here Grin

PorpentiaScamander · 01/05/2020 23:07

Will this thread make more sense if I start drinking? Although then I can't boast about my lack of drinking and would eventually have to leave the house to buy more alcohol. Confused
I dont clap for the NHS or footballers. I haven't been further than the front garden in eleventy million years but don't use SM (other than MN) so don't boast about it.

Now I dont know if I'm doing lockdown wrong or not Grin.

SoupDragon · 01/05/2020 23:07

So, was Phoebe not actually Phoebe?

Willow2017 · 01/05/2020 23:08

Well that escalated! Wtf was that other thread about? 1 year ago? Just when you think you've seen it all on MN.
Can we have a nice quiet thread now?

I dont have many pigeons round here just seagulls. i am screwed, thieving buggers.

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 01/05/2020 23:08

Aaah i see lilac

Not sure i can say that...even if i did get a star for it Sad

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 01/05/2020 23:09

So, was Phoebe not actually Phoebe?

Deffo not for the last few posts...no idea when it changed

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 01/05/2020 23:10

Can't find what you are talking about but I'll just assume it's not good .

Willow2017 · 01/05/2020 23:11

SoupDragon · 01/05/2020 23:15
