I can imagine some of the 'lovely' responses you'd get from telling mumsnetters that but I won't repeat them here because they'd need several trigger warnings!I always do that when I get chips!

If you planned it right you could really fit the profile. Get your DP/DH to wear his wife beater vest and knock your front teeth out while you’re there. That would really make their day for any adjacent MNers.
Ugh. Fancy allowing common people to go out in public. I wonder if they were eating Greggs pasties and swigging from a can of Super Tennents.
This is my absolute favourite response
“Once at Chessington ( years ago) a young bloke was holding a lit ciggie at his side near my DS face and I had to yell at him in French to move it .
Probably my finest mothering moment !”
I saw that OP and wondered if it were one of you. Surely a troll!
I have a complicated relationship with chips. I would walk over hot coals for chips I consider good, but am EASILY DISAPPOINTED. So my life is spent hoping any new chips will be worth it, and frequently being let down.
Top tier chips are fried in beef dripping though, and the bloody vegans are killing that off, even up here in the north!

This response was excellent though. Proper put OPs nose out of joint 
We also have a whaler at our local chippy so we get one to share and chips each. My bff gets battered sausage and can’t order it without giggling like a school girl, it’s my fave of course no one tell MN we are so frightfully juvenile

There is a thread where the OP is moaning that her parents don’t want to babysit. Cue loads of posters saying it’s not fair when you have no support
I wonder how many of these posters hid away for months when the baby was born to protect their “nuclear family bubble” and thought family members were entitled when they offered to babysit (which is another thread going on right now)
Can’t have it both ways. Can’t shut family out when the kids are small and expect them to be offering favours when you suddenly decide they are good enough to babysit, most likely because you are shattered and want a break

I got sucked into that thread & the OP never came back!
Eden Camp in Yorkshire do the best chips I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve only had them once though as I’m too worried about the disappointment incase they’re not as good the second time round to try to them again
Really? That’s an achievable distance for me.
I had world class chips in the cafe in Barter Books in Alnwick a while back. Also the 50s-style fish and chip shop at Beamish.

I find the psychopath threads interesting. Posters insisting they've met multiple psychopaths/sociopaths/narcissists ('actual diagnosed ones!!!!'), who I'd bet a lot of money were jus 'unpleasant people'. Your mother in law probably isn't on the same level as Ian Brady. And then the inevitable arrival of the 'i am actually a diagnosed psychopath and you're all being very offensive' - surely if you are, you wouldn't care. And it just comes off as like, boring people trying to turn their tit personality into something edgy and interesting. 'I WOULDN'T CARE IF I STEPPED OVER YOU TO GET A JOB/I DON'T FEEL ANY EMPATHY FOR HUMANS ONLY ANIMALS/I CAN MANIPULATE ANYONE IN THE WORLD EVER' ok hun.
This is like my DP with fried chicken. He loves it. Will walk to the ends of the Earth to try somewhere. The amount of places we have trecked to, made special visits to, eaten at weird times so just so he can try their chicken is countless. Yet, 9 times out of 10 the chicken will arrive and he’ll go ‘meh. I’ve had better’.
I admire his tenacity to keep trying though. Forever hopeful.

It’s still trending and I still keep thinking OP has come back and checking
I’ve answered a few times in that thread. I’m nowhere near a diagnosed psychopath, I don’t have any sort of personality disorder, and I’m a pretty decent member of society, but I am almost entirely lacking in empathy.
I do however love chips. Proper chippy ones - you know the type where you get crispy bits in the bottom of the bag? Doused in so much salt & vinegar your kidneys ache.
I feel more strongly about chippy chips than I do most humans
Ladies, if you could only prise the giant portions of chips out if your hands, you too could shop in the children’s section of M&S.
This thread is peak MN. These poor, doll-sized women are literally swamped by all the gigantic size 8 clothing in the shops.

So I decided to push the boat out and do us all a roast. And before anyone says anything, yes I know that number of potatoes AND Yorkshire puddings is excessive, but we’re not going to eat anything else until Tuesday.
This should be enough for me, DMr Begotten, two large sons and DDaughter with leftovers for the week, right?

Sounds like my sister in law who completely lacks any sense of humour. I made a light hearted joke that I see all our school friends on social media and think I look MUCH younger than them (clearly I don’t) and she primly said “well my friend X would have loved to have lived to our age”.
Ok then. Obviously, it’s impossible to be sad that X didn’t get a chance to age AND be equally baffled that you’re starting to look old.
I love the replies saying children’s clothes are just big and hang on their petite frame.Ladies, if you could only prise the giant portions of chips out if your hands, you too could shop in the children’s section of M&S.

After a giant brunch yesterday (sausages, eggs, tomatoes, toast, avocado), Mr D announced that dinner would be a single bowl of pasta with a few bacon bits and cheese 'Because I've already had enough food for the rest of the week'.
He got The Are You bleeping Trolling Me? Look.
And hastily produced yet another huge bowl of fruit and yoghurt each. Blueberries, bananas, prunes. With chocolate shards and maple syrup.
