The contractor thread is the best thing I’ve ever read. My husband also started reading but I was scrolling too fast so now he’s reading on his own phone 😂. I might have to sign up to wind her up.

These poor blokes really can’t have anything can they 😂

I don’t like the fizzy ones because they make my teeth furry but I could absolutely smash a whole tub of normal haribo in one go
I like the haribo strawberries that are in the white packet that they sell in Poundland l, not the jelly ones but the small red squishy ones. You can almost feel the fillings appearing 😂

Haribo are horrible, and their adverts freak me out! Now a Skittle, or a Starburst, I could eat one of those a year and be perfectly satisfied. This because I am not a big fat greedy pig :ROFLMAO:

I keep bringing up how irritating it is when they act thick on MN to show their class/how above everyone else they are etc but this one is too far so I’m bringing it up again 😂

There’s a thread in chat very clearly titled to show it’s about Fearne McCann. Many posts asking ‘who?’ Or saying ‘never heard of her’ - why open the thread if you’ve never heard of her, and if for some reason you do, why not Google her if you want to know who she is!

Even worse there’s 3/4 posts on there saying stuff like ‘I always did hate Fearne cotton and now I know why’ ‘I read this whole thing thinking it was about Fearne cotton’ - why?! It clearly says Fearne McCann in the bloody title! Do they regularly turn up at the wrong events because people have similar names are Mickey Flanagan shows full of bewildered parents with their children thinking they were going to see Mickey Mouse? Are jimmy carrs shows full of people annoyed than Alan hasn’t turned up?

The interrogation of the poor jelly sweet husband and where they were, is so irritating & makes me glad to be single! To be under that condemnation over eating some sweets and then whinged about on Mumsnet. He should LTB.

What is it with the competitive eating, what do they get out of this? I notice it with many influencers as well, either boasting about the massive salads or the minimal amount of a bleeping gummy bear they manage to heat before being absolutely filled to the brim.
I don't know anybody in real life who would go on and on about that? Sure, I myself don't like jelly sweets myself that much, but give me crisps or a croissant or chocolate and you better bet I eat it. And they even do the same about the eating habits of their strapping sons and birdlike daughters. Are they projecting some sort of eating disorder on them? That would actually be pretty nasty for the kids.
The only person I knew in real life who was like that, was a former manager who was batshit crazy. She was classic mumsnet - her job was in the £60-70k ballpark, she lived in a posh village and had 2 strapping sons in the Navy. She once brought in truffles from her holiday, and offered them round the office saying 'just take one each please'. Then went back to her desk and said 'I'm going to lock the box of truffles in my drawer so you greedy piggies don't eat them all today, you can have another one each tomorrow'.

When we ate a chocolate orange in the office at Xmas (between 6 of us) she exclaimed 'have you managed to eat it ALL in one day?'.

It is so infuriating when people don’t read the full thread. Someone’s given an update on a work grievance to say it’s all finalised and people are still commenting with their advice 🙄

There was a thread on that very subject once, asking why people didn’t read the thread properly before commenting. It got a few backs up. So many of them apparently ‘don’t have the time’ to read a thread properly because obviously they have such busy lives with the very important jobs they do 🙄well then don’t bleeping comment at all then. They think their opinions are so very important and that everyone needs to hear them.

In other hysterical MN news one poster is saying she can no longer watch IACGMOH because she finds Matt Hancocks voice ‘very triggering’. She was serious as well.

It was only a matter of time but someone’s posted a photo of their vagina/vulva/minge/flaps/kebab/whatever in Sporners Corner.

my workmate used to police the treats and lock them in the cupboard. Myself and another spent ages trying to bust the lock one day, we were convinced everything was going to end up out of date.

Half the people on those threads need to get their rings resized as they look way too tight for their fingers.

I like to think there's a small corner of the Internet where all their D and not so DH's have gathered together for moral support in LTB (leaving the witch).
Downtrodden men who are half starved from only being allowed a quarter of a tin of soup and a leaf of lettuce for the past 10 years, never allowed to have any hobbies of their own or god forbid have a night in the pub, for fear of being labelled an alcoholic.

I know beauty is in the the of the beholder and all that, but those rings look they were dug up in an archeological dig. I’ve never seen such ugly jewellery in my life.

i also love how the usually the owner of the ugliest ones say how cheap their ring was and it doesn’t matter because its about what it symbolises, obviously you have to say that cause your ring is tit.

also for a bunch of people obsessed with looking ‘groomed and polished like the french’ who constantly shell out the clean short clear varnish rule, there are ALOT of tacky acrylic talons on these threads.
