Competitive staying home

[Thepigeonsarecoming]

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?

Feel free to post your achievements and receive a WANKY award (What A Nightmare Knob You are)

PhoebeBear - are you posting or is someone posting for you?

Probably a bit of both. Sounds to me like a new mum who is immensely struggling all of a sudden and doesn't know quite how to admit or handle it.

Maybe comes after a longed for baby, having all quite sorted in the head and the reality combined with a pandemic not quite working out properly.

I think the early posts were from a tired, sleepy Phoebe, who perhaps misread the post and got a bit upset.

At 5pm, the not- Phoebe Phoebe started posting, at first posting as if was Phoebe, but soon slipped into the not- Phoebe Phoebe.

I hope the actual Phoebe is ok.

Last two posts referred to the poster being a man, last post referred to them as being a man and called us cunts

For stuff noone has actually said on this thread

Oh crosspost

Yes i agree with greatwave

I think the original said ‘okie doke’ to me and that was the last thing they said

🤯

But on the other thread 'she' said she posted a year ago after having her baby and got a load of abuse for being 26! Its all very strange.

Last two posts referred to the poster being a man, last post referred to them as being a man and called us cunts

Right. So is that actual poster ok either way do you think?

I personally don't mind being called a cunt
Cunts have warmth and depth

Hell i’ve Been drinking i’ll Wade into the thread. I think the strangest example of this I’ve seen was on another site in a thread about hair woes...one poster announced that she’d wear her gray roots proudly as a badge that she has been following the rules. 🙄🤮

Oh I do enjoy it when misogynistic idiots think they can come on MN and hurt our feelings by calling us 'Karens' and so on. We're women and we've been through the wars pal, it'll take more than that to even scratch the surface.

I think it went pear shaped before than, tbh.

Theres a rule about dying your hair? I think that poster, doesnt understand the guidelines.

I spent 2 weeks at home, then had to go back to work.

I dyed my hair the other day, wasnt going to let the greys take over.

@shitsgettingcrazy obviously those of without gray roots are out there in speakeasy salons licking our stylists and other patrons as we’re getting our murderous beauty treatments.

saltinesandcoffeecups I think I would actually kill, to see ny hairdresser. Though it depends who I was killing. Though its because she is also a friend.

I am dying my own again next week. 2nd time since lock down! I am obviously a lockdown rebel!

@shitsgettingcrazy

Right there with you. The first time I did my own I arranged a color drop from my stylist (no I didn’t lick her and I paid her what a regular appointment costs) next week my salon (in the US) is doing curbside color kit sales.

Sorry I had shit to do, came back and it had all gone a bit crazy.

But more importantly who wants a star up the arse or perhaps sellotaped on to a jumper. Either or is good for me, I've got the gloves ready. Thanks Covid-19.

@SeperatedSwans tbh it all went a bit crazy from the very beginning, it just kept on spiralling down the rabbit hole from then on

Speaking of holes, no star up there for me please, I’d quite like one attached to a hairband though 😂

I dived into oncoming traffic when I saw someone else walking on the pavement. I was at risk of getting hit by a car but don’t people know what social distancing means!! Please tell me when and where to pick up my WANKY

@PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock

don't kink shame 😂

Yep we’re all against shaming here! If someone wants a star up their arse then it’s their choice, although it does sound a bit dangerous and could put pressure on the NHS if too many people try it.
...
Lightbulbs seem to be the weapon of choice. From what I've heard.

When I was on here night before last, I had had a bit to drink and was finding the thread very funny. That was the original intention, was it not?All day yesterday I had a hangover which was not funny but I remember our Phoebe saying, "Okie dokie", and talking about rag........

May the good humour return, okie dokie?

TheGreatWave: "would the army make us clap?"
........
More likely give us the clap.

My method is not to go out at the front of the house except to pick up post, milk and put bins out. I sit in a room at the back or am in the kitchen most of the time, surveying the back garden, so I have no idea at all what goes on in anyone else's life or they in mine which suits me fine. For all I know the armed forces could be marching up and down the road and people are having street parties but what I don't see, doesn't bother me. When I do venture out front, as mentioned above, it's either at crack of dawn or later at night and nobody is about then, a ghost town (or street), except for the odd passing car.

Lockdown is very peaceful and gives me time to scheme and plan things for the future as well as organising a few bits and pieces from my computer for others in dire straits, as well as maintaining the status quo for myself. I generally ignore what the Who has to say every day because it's bound to contradict what they said yesterday.

Phoebe, we all know how dangerous the current crisis is but we have to have a laugh sometimes or we'd all go bonkers. It's very hard for younger people with children who are confined to barracks, like yourself, easier for oldies like me. It will come to an end eventually though and hopefully we will emerge in one piece and completely transformed into saintly beings.

You take care of yourself and your baby until life returns to a relative normality.

Accidentally managed to stockpile my hairdye in Jan when the chemist was selling off a heap cheaply as was discontinued- well chuffed now! Worked out the amount needed for grey at roots only so manage to make a box last for 4 goes(every3 weeks)rather than displaying badger-like re-growth and scaring my lockdown compadres..

Genuine question here!!

How do you train the pigeons in the garden to go to Tesco for your shopping?

I mean, I've tried, but the ones in our garden are a right pair of arses. All they ever do is chase each other along the fence bonking. I can't get them to pay me any attention at all. Twats!

I'm with you, OP. I remember back at the beginning of lockdown people on here were berating those of us who had chosen to cook dinner on the barbie outside because it was against their personal "roolz" which we should all have been following.

I have to go to Tesco this weekend. The bloody pigeons have refused. Again.

I really need a new username! 😂

If I hear them singing about My Generation one more time I shall scream. That Keith Moon has a lot to answer for.
