These people are soooo superior, I love it. It’s the fake shock that gets me - “we are so wholesome and go for a big walk on Christmas Day but… no one else seems to do it? Fat lazy bastards”.

They're trying to do their bit for population control again at the moment.
Somebody's describing possible heart attack symptoms and they've already been diagnosed with menopause, Covid vaccination and it being all in her head.

Excellent... excellent. I absolutely love this. "Hmmm. I have these strange and terrifying symptoms. I shall consult Mumsnet, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it, 111"
Big debate going on over there now about bathroom bins.
Who are all these weirdos that don't have one and put absolutely everything in the kitchen bin?
And for the love of God, stop referring to sanitary towels and tampons as "Sanpro"

I've just joined because I've had a laugh reading some of the threads and posts on here. Haven't done so on mumsnet for a while because everyone is so serious, always ready to preach and get offended over everything.
Surprised to find the infamous Tattle a bit of a breath of fresh air.
And I can post gifs too? Say no more!
Never mind, spoke too soon. It's just like mumsnet or worse. Gifs aren't worth it
Menopause is blamed for everything over there. Got a pain in your arse? You must be Peri! Go to the GP and ask for HRT.
I hate MN as much as the next woman and proudly wear my 6 or so PBP medals 
- but *shudder* - I gather juicy couture is back in.

The I’ve taken all my decorations down threads have started. Joyless hags.
It's an old fashioned term really, stems from the Middle Ages - certain towns would be given permission with a royal charter to hold their weekly market.
These days for sure a Mumsnet middle class term to use (see also: Emma Bridgewater does a 'Market Town' collection, of course).

God I hate Emma Bridgwater. So ugly and cumbersome.
I like the mugs! But yeah I think it's on its way out..some people have dressers full of EB on display
Why are MN obsessed with class?! If you ever read the baby name thread they're obsessed with posh names Vs 'down market' and considered working class names

Thank you for explaining
Loool @ the idea of a cabinet full of Emma Bridgwater on display.
I live for the financial threads, there was one asking what Christmas is like if you are wealthy. I did my poster bingo for that, then I do bingo for the horrified miseries who do the lemon sucking face at the full fridge photos.
Has anyone seen the ‘who earns a six figure salary and what do you do’ thread? A couple of posters are trying to frame it as inspirational in a patronising kind of ‘we did it and if you just knuckle down, work hard and pretend you don’t have kids, you can do it too!’ way. I mean I don’t believe even half of them on that thread earn that much because there are some familiar names on there who are on every thread, and if you have a job earning over £100,000 it’s unlikely you’d be spending 15 hours of the day on MN 
It’s quite astonishing, nay almost unbelievable, how many high earning women use MN 
It’s quite astonishing, nay almost unbelievable, how many high earning women use MN I saw the stupid thread about how to save £100,000
I mean it's great to have good saving aspirations but I find it just showing off. I guarantee I'll never be able to save 100,000.
The best one tonight is about piercing kids ears. MN are obsessed with not allowing kids to have their ears pierced.
Posters are saying it's mutilation
They absolutely obsessed with it.
Another AIBU about a woman who got a note put on her car and all the responses are for her to call the police
the police would laugh their tits off

Although I think I swing towards winding up the posters who can’t believe that anyone could earn more than £2.50 per week in the local arts centre coffee shop.
