It's not the dog section or S&B, it the gardening bit.

Someone calls a wild flower a weed and they all get their mattocks out.....

MissWillmottsGhost - you should know, being named in honour of the first example guerrilla horticulturalism.

Follows HoneyDragon's instructions.
Adds glitter.
Makes a fabulous bath bomb.

I eschew all forms of leg wear when applying bleach to the toilet and administering a vigorous brushing. I have ruined too many pairs of jeans/trousers with splashback. I also remove my naice slippers.

Where do this put me on the spectrum of wrong? Should I just go quietly into the hills and let death gather me to his/her/their bony bosom?

Think it just means no gin or bathbombs for you weezol

I need to go to Primark to buy more leggings as most of my leggings have bleach stains. Hence I buy £3 Primark ones.

It’s half term though; which means dd will want to come, and probably ds so my £10 shopping trip will end up costing me £60 in Primark Hmm

I thought the most terrifying posters were the grammar pedants? I live in terror of a misplaced apostrophe or a their/there slip up.

UpstartCrow · 29/05/2018 20:55

There you have it, grammarnazis; even worse than feminiazis apparently.

FlippinFumin · 29/05/2018 20:55

I bleach and toilet brush the loo naked, just before I shower. It is not a pretty sight. Tres radical, but nowhere to hide the suicide bomb.

Eeeek (whisper) how did you kill them?

I didn't know you had to feed them Shock

TheChampagneGalop · 29/05/2018 21:00

Well to be fair AIBU can be pretty aggressive sometimes, but that tweet goes a little too far...

(Is it okay to wear leggings if I wear dresses over them and do not use them as trousers? )

ErrolTheDragon · 29/05/2018 21:38

Pedants' Corner is the training ground for devastating use of that offensive weapon, the OED.

thebewilderness · 29/05/2018 21:53

The Feminazgûl take their training here and go out into the world to spread misandry wherever their shadow falls.
(insert maniacal laugh here)

AngryAttackKittens · 29/05/2018 22:01

I'm wearing leggings right now. Mwah hah hah!

(Don't judge me, it's hot.)

spontaneousgiventime · 29/05/2018 22:02

I'm wearing leggings too and I often have stray apostrophe's.

RebelRogue · 29/05/2018 22:02

I killed the fish. Not in a "fucking hell they actually need a lot of care" kinda way,but in "ooops,wail,I killed the fish!! More wailing"

ReluctantCamper · 29/05/2018 22:11

pro-tip: never post what you think is helpful advice in chat. that poor woman who started a thread advising everyone to check the expiry dates on the their passports properly got her arse handed to her. Now that was terrorism, or at least I was terrified by the replies.

MistAmougstElephants · 29/05/2018 22:29

According to our future Lord and saviour style and beauty leggings with dresses is fine as long as you wear boots. Then people will think you are wearing thick tights not leggings and that's a-okay.

MistAmougstElephants · 29/05/2018 22:33

Oh and terrorists in the baby name topic of all places. The name Leo for a girl was met with nastiness. I said it was a unisex name and I literally felt the bitch slaps through my phone. Haunted I am haunted.

I am imagining some poor communications officer at GCHQ banging their head on their desk after this thread has pinged their software for the umpteenth time today, muttering: “FFS 3 years of Maths at Cambridge and a PhD from the Sorbonne in Advanced Cryptology and I have the day reading Mumsnet! Fuck my life!”

boatyardblues · 29/05/2018 22:44

^ spent was missing from my previous post, but they’re smart cookies. I bet they can fill in the blank. Wink

ReluctantCamper · 29/05/2018 22:47

come on boatyard, what's the worst that can happen? they'll see the light about waterfall cardigans and realise that leaving your washing our over night is the height of slovenliness.

I'd say it's a win win situation for GCHQ.

RebelRogue · 29/05/2018 22:48

There might be an increase in penis beaker sales.Grin

BillywilliamV · 29/05/2018 23:03

Did someone say they washed their loo brush in the dishwasher?
