I do think the first few replies dictate the tone of the thread though. There was a thread recently from someone who thought they’d been ‘kept hidden’ because her husband didn’t want her to come on a works do. The absolute drama of it all. The majority of replies ranged from ‘he’s having an affair’ (of course) to ‘he’s probably gay and shagging a workmate’ (I mean isn’t it obvious?!). Instead of the more sensible ‘so what?’

Why would you go on someone else’s work’s do, unless it was an all partners invited type of thing?
My husband texted me from our local asking me to meet him for a drink. He’d been out with work straight from work. Assuming he was on his own by now, hence the text, I met him. They were all still out. I could have chinned him.

Are you insinuating that the most logical reason your husband might not want you to come to a work night out isn’t that he’s having a gay affair?? You need to give your head a wobble!
Er, no. That was sarcasm.
Er, yeah so was my post
ETA: for the avoidance of doubt, I would never use the phrase ‘give your head a wobble’ unless I was taking the piss
SorryEr, yeah so was my post
I thought I was on Mumsnet for a second.
BIB - absolutely. And that's something that will never cease to amaze me. It's a very well known website, not some secret club where nobody will ever see it, apart from the select members, of course...
Also the reason I refuse to believe (among many many other topics) the work related ones. Apart from the fact that if you had a six figure salary at some huge company, it would have its own HR and most likely it's own legal department, but also why would anyone post on a well known website - 'how will I manage this very specific outing situation'! As if!
I think some of them include the .00 in the 6 figures.
My nephew is autistic, he has a job, friends and a social life. he’s amazing and caring and probably far nicer than some of their offspring. Shock horror!
But darling that would be SO OUTING, especially if you could see evidence of DH"s VERY NICHE, VERY UNUSUAL, VERY OUTING hobby.
A pushbike, golf clubs or a Man U scarf reflected in the mirror? Extra points for all 3.
No darling it's even more obscure hence so TERRIBLY OUTING
Still hasn’t given the mirror a wipe. The dog’s given up and gone in search of a new owner.

One thing that really gets me about Mumsnet is:
If you want to buy a puppy they will all pile on you and say its despicable, you should only ever rescue dogs (no consideration that 1. If we all only rescued dogs, they'd die out
2. Not everyone can rescue a TROUBLED dog who will most likely have behavioural issues)
However
They then have a whole PUPPY SURVIVAL thread!
Make it make sense

They do medieval battle re-enactments. Or are still in the scouts.
No darling absolutely not!
On another site I post on we have an incorrigible oversharer. She is on about her fifth alias now as she keeps getting doxed because she can't shut the duck up about herself, her job, her husband's job and where they live.
She lost her job, her bleeping job, because she was spouting off about a topical political story that was in the news at the time. She worked for the government department involved and was blabbing all about the behind the scenes goings on despite everyone shouting at her to watch her words. Either she got doxed or a journalist or someone in the know got wind of it and she was moved to another department on a reduced pay grade.
Now, you would think this would cause anyone to take stock and perhaps consider being a bit more discreet but, well, a couple of months later she was back to tell us all about her sacking.
People like her should be banned from the internet for their own safety.

I think they think their being ‘edgy’. Whereas we think they look like vagrants.Why would you thoughI just don’t get it at all so they think they look stellar or are they looking for advice?
Or modelling for a charity shop. Bless them and their delusions. My favourite is the Bay City Rollers fan in her tartan suit.
