'As a heads up about my character, I'm a chartered accountant' -Shit I read on Mumsnet 2025.

We had a Mormons In The Street earworm a few posts back and I've now got "Was it the chicken or the wine?" to the tune of The Rhythm of the Night.

What a fucking twat.
I went to a funeral last night, got home and had two shots of rum, went to bed, got up this morning and ate a pint of ice cream, took a nap on the couch, and am now enjoying a four hour documentary on schools in Mongolia, as God intended. And I think I'm basically a brainchild for watching a doco lol.

I'm convinced Natashadancing is trolling the style & beauty board for fun. OP is wanting a wedding guest dress but has a small budget and wants something she can wear again. So along comes ND to suggest a £350 dress. The fact it has images of a dooomed voyage on it for a wedding is just the icing on the cake
Accidentally boarded a plane at Fairford airshow and now on her way Afghanistan.
Well my Dad’s ALIVE so thanks very much for making me feel inferior and sad that I can’t join in with the dead dads. You don’t know how lucky you are that’s your dads are dead. Cherish every moment.*
dear Lord, I love my dad, this is a joke please don’t take him from me, thanks

Someone has started a disappointing travel destinations thread by saying that the Norwegian Fjords were awful because it was cold and rainy. And in other news, grass is green

On the topic of train wankers, I once watched in fat, poor awe as a middle class family brought out their fancy train picnic. It just kept coming! They had olives with little toothpicks to hold them! I felt like a Victorian child peering into the window of a wealthy merchants’ home at Christmastime. I would have felt embarrassed of my shitey cider and crisps if I wasn’t, as previously mentioned, so fat and so poor.

The one comment I thought I’d never see on a Shithole thread.

I had a bad attack of internal rage today.
Apart from a bit of snippiness - which the subject of my rage quite possibly didn't notice - I managed to keep it to myself.
I work in an office close to the high street of a small town. Every lunchtime I walk into town to buy my lunch and take it back to the office.
On my way back, I go into the newsagent to buy a newspaper and a flake.
The shop assistant is murderous-thought inducingly annoying. She is the kind of person who speaks to her elderly customers in a higher than usual sing-sing voice and seems to think that a bit of patronising chit-chat should be part of the service.
My annoyance started to accelerate a few weeks ago. I had bought a sausage roll from Greggs before I went into the newsagent.
"Oooo! That smells nice, what are we having for lunch today?" She asked.
I decided to ignore her question and paid for my paper and flake.
A few days ago, the weather was colder than had been forecast (unfortunately, the heatwave everyone else seems to be getting has passed us by). It was cold and windy and I wasn't wearing a jacket or cardigan.
"Oooo! Aren't you cold dressed like that?" She asked.
I ignored her question and paid for my paper and flake.
Yesterday, I put my paper and flake on the counter and waited to pay. As she picked up my flake, she said:
"Oooo! You really love these, don't you? You'll look like one soon if you aren't careful"
Am I unreasonable to expect a shop assistant to respect my privacy, not to quiz me on what I am having for lunch, comment on what I am wearing or what I am buying?
I don't mind a quick "It's a lovely day today" type of interaction, but all I actually want from her is quick and efficient service.
REPLY - Do you ever mix it up and buy something different to a flake?
REPLY TO THAT - Don't ask op a question ffs, you'll set her off
Surprised a Mumsnetter admitted to eating a sausage roll and multiple flakes!

The thread on the Salt Path author has no reached thread two with them all claiming of course they knew it was lies and saw through it all.
However a single mum pregnant with triplets or a poo troll? Here's my bank details and passwords and some nice wank fodder for you. Shall I also send you a photo and my address?

I didn't work out how on earth wearing a bikini would tan your fanny until you pointed out they were American. I thought they were just having anatomy issues or wearing it back to front.

Someone has posted about wanting some advice for what to do with her savings and said she knows how lucky she is to be in a position to have saved £30k. It took about 4 replies for someone to come along and say £30k isn't exactly very much to have saved and could easily be wiped out
Weirdly, someone else also said that if OP got a basal cell carcinoma it would be used up straight away so OP should save it for healthcare costs. What the fuck kind of advice is that
