Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, driving on drugs feels better when their prescription. All I know is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful. I feel fantastic and I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think about I felt that day, when I felt the way that I do right now, right now. I feel fantastic and I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think about I felt that day when I felt the way we do right now. Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Welcome to You Are Being Unreasonable, a podcast about people being unreasonable on mumsnet.com I was on the internet this week, looking around as I want to do at all the various sites and sounds, and I found a site called Gransnet. It's like Mum's Net, but for Grans. Nice. Like the next generation up. And I discovered they also have an Am I Being Unreasonable board. Well, that's good, because the Mumsnet Am I Being on Reasonable boards are getting a bit. tiresome for me to keep trawling through. Yeah and I think my impression is that the grands might be less turfy. Maybe. Anyway, I figured we could have our parents do a grands net
Starting point is 00:01:12 episode. Special guest. The next generation up. Yeah. To clarify, we aren't parents, so they aren't grandparents. We're not saying our parents are grandtnet age. It's just thematic to tie it all together. And it made me wonder what other sites are out there that I haven't found. Is there a dad's net? Yeah, a dad's net, granddad's net, uncle's net, uncle's net. I would go on uncle's net, just lots of men who aren't entirely clear
Starting point is 00:01:36 on what's going on with various relatives of theirs, is what I imagine that to be. You could go on niece's net. Yeah? That's the place for you. Sure. Finally, you're niche. Neish-neesh.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Neish-neesh-knit. Let's do some of the actual podcast. Yeah, we actually look at Monnet. We'll begin with the speed round. I'm just going to say the thread titles and Simon has to decide. someone's being unreasonable. Am I being unreasonable to start to worry? No. Am I being unreasonable neighbour smoking a cigarette at an open window in his underwear? Yes. Am I being
Starting point is 00:02:11 unreasonable to wonder which history facts aren't true? Uh, no, no, Foucault. Am I being unreasonable to really dislike Primark? Yes. Am I being unreasonable to not take my child to a party? Yes. Am I being unreasonable to not take my child to a party? Yes. Am I being unreasonable to think that if you need state support because your self-employed income is low, then you don't have a viable business. Whoa. No, but then that applies to the whole banking structure of the country. Let's just do one more from this speed route, because that was maybe not a good choice.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Am I being unreasonable, people who don't make an effort with their appearance? Yeah. Okay. Businesses at Europe, what? I feel personally attacked by this. You look lovely, darling. Unreasonable is Lodger a C.F. In Mumsnet language, C.F. means cheeky fucker. Wow. I was thinking control freak.
Starting point is 00:03:09 No, no, that's, no. It means cheeky fucker. Cheeky fucker is in the eye of the beholder, so they say. Wow. Am I being unreasonable? Is lodger a C.F? Cheeky fucker. I have a lodger. His rent includes all bills. However, I went on holiday. for two weeks and on my return he presented me with a 25 pound top-up bill for the gas which he used for heating when I was away. I told him there was no way I'm paying for the gas he used when I wasn't here. He says gas and electric is included. My argument is
Starting point is 00:03:43 that if I was on holiday the gas would not have been used so he has to pay it. Am I being unreasonable? Do you think this is the same lodger as last week who was gradually taking over every room in the house? Update on that lodger he moved out. Oh. He said himself he had somewhere to go and then he moved out. Did he take the pug? Who knows? This is a different lodger. This is a different lodger who may or may not, we've yet to decide, be a cheeky fucker. Yes. I didn't follow this. She's got a lodger, the lodger's rent includes all of the bills. She went on holiday, and while she was on holiday, the lodger used the heating, so there was a gas bill. Cool. The lodger's rent includes all the bills. She has said because she was on holiday, he has to pay
Starting point is 00:04:27 the gas bill, because if she didn't use any gas because she wasn't there, then she shouldn't have to pay it. Right. Is she being unreasonable? Is her question? I thought he was presenting 25 pounds as payment for the gas. No, he was presenting the gas bill. The gas bill. Why did he present it? Welcome back from holiday. This bill arrived for you. She says he presented it with a 25 pound top up bill, so I think it might be on a meter key. Okay. So it's more likely to be a receipt from him topping it up. Got it. It's how I understand it.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I've never had metered gas, but I think that's sort of how it works. Well, I mean, that's not much to go on to decide if this man is a cheeky fucker. You can be a cheeky fucker down the pub, you know, when he goes out bantering with the lads. No, it's not about banter. It's about being... Fiscally responsible. Like selfish and expecting other people. Cheaky fucker on mums there is not a good thing.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Someone having banda down the pub wouldn't be a cheeky fucker. It's not like a cheeky nandoes. Yeah, like a cheeky man. It's like a grabby twat. Oh dear. So many conifacients to see her. Yeah. So my opinion on it is,
Starting point is 00:05:37 if his rent includes all the bills and she's got a lodger, she can't expect him to not use any gas or electricity in the time that she's away and then say, I'm not paying for that, because he's rent includes all of the bills. I imagine her going on holiday and just locking him in,
Starting point is 00:05:53 like Bernard Black style. As if she'd got, you know, preparing the house as if she were going away and leaving it empty, turning off the water and turning off the heating and locking the doors and windows. This does seem to be the attitude that she has, if not the actions. Maybe she just doesn't have object permanence yet. Maybe. And she's not there. Her house doesn't exist anymore, so why would she have to pay for that? But I just think it's incredibly unreasonable that she's got a lodger there whose rent includes bills. and she's now decided that only bills that she thinks are fair.
Starting point is 00:06:30 He used gas and electricity because he lives there. It's his home. She needs some way to assess exactly how much electricity and gas he uses, not her when she's in. So she needs some way to figure out what his ambient temperature is during the day. Yeah, no, she's awful. That's something. Should we hear from the thread for a bit? All landlords of bastards.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Exactly. The thread If the lodger goes on the holidays They get a refund for their bills Thought not Good Asking and answered LOL so he has to sit in the cold and dark
Starting point is 00:07:04 While you go on holiday Yeah exactly locked in Yeah Someone else says No you are a CF Which is what you've just said Of course you have to pay it He already pays it as part of his rent
Starting point is 00:07:15 Someone said Was it 25 pounds more than usual I think he's being a bit unreasonable If he's wiped the heating up Oh Update from the AP it's a key meter and yes I went away for the last two weeks in February however I normally only use about 15 pounds in gas over a two week period
Starting point is 00:07:32 but it seems like he has had the heating on 24-7 my argument is why should I reimburse him for that if I wasn't there can we just stop to reflect on the fact the last two weeks in February I was just going to say that beast from the east week those two beasts from the east so even if he did have the heating on longer than she would normally do she was a holiday she missed it all It was really cold, original poster. Yeah, I think she should expect her bills to be slightly higher
Starting point is 00:07:59 during the week of the epic now. Yeah, absolutely. Presumably, you still took his rent for the two weeks year away. You should have topped the metre up yourself. Unless your contract states that rent is only inclusive when you are home too, is he supposed to sit in the cold and dark? Yes. Oh, she's come back and said, okay, I'll pay up.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And then people are still saying, yeah, well, you should apologise too. so. Well, it doesn't sound like she put up a fuss with him. It sounds like she passive-aggressively just went to mum's narrative complaint. Yeah, and it is quite unusual for someone to come on, Am I Being Unreasonable? Say, Am I Being Unreasonable? Everyone to say, yeah, you are. And for them to say, oh, I didn't know. Yeah, this is a nice story. It is. Although she then comes back and starts winging again. Oh, well, let's pretend. I'd like to point out that if I'm here, the lodge will ask if he can put the heating on, as he's always freezing, whereas I am not. So, of course I say he can, and he normally just puts it on
Starting point is 00:08:53 for an hour to heat the house. I just feel that looking at the amount he spent on gas while I was away, it would have been much more than he would have used if I were here. It snowed, and you've said you're going to give him the money for it. Why are you coming back to complain about him being a chillyman? Yeah, let's pretend it ended when she agreed to... You can edit this bit out to get the happy ending. Happy ending. Very good. And by being unreasonable, to think she's stole my voucher. So, went to pick up some food and drink in M&S today, perfectly nice and helpful young checkout lady, got to the end, receipt came out, I waited for it, because
Starting point is 00:09:29 D.C. likes to collect them. The first half of the receipt came out, and the woman tore it off and put it, in a very clandestine manner, folded up behind a leaflet on the end of her checkout. She gave me the rest of the normal receipt. I'm pretty sure it was a five pound off when you spend £35 pound voucher. Usually get them at M&S. D.C. was about... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's a little emoji. Oh, it's a little red, furious face.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Make the sound that it would make. Hmm. Cail. D.C. was about to strop, and I couldn't face being confrontational or asking to see the other half. But TB8, I feel very much so ripped off. There might, of course, be a reasonable explanation. But am I being unreasonable to think there isn't,
Starting point is 00:10:17 you stole my voucher. I'll throw a playlist. Okay. Are you being... You can be the woman, I'll be the checkout lady. Okay. That'll be 25... no, that'll be over 35 pounds. Do you have a nectar card?
Starting point is 00:10:33 Uh, this is M&S. Do you have an M&S card? Yes, I do. And I would like to pay my 35 pounds. Poo-Boo-Boo-Boo. I'd like my receipt, please. Here it comes. Look over there!
Starting point is 00:10:48 Mine. Here's your receipt. Wait a minute. Next. And scene. So that's probably exactly how it went down. Yeah. Well, it does say very clandestinely, and that's what I did.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah. I feel like she might have mentioned if the checkout lady had said, look over there. But perhaps not. Look over there. It's Ian McKellen. There's quite a lot of weird detail in this post. As I'm sure you know by now, I love the posts that've got gratuitous detail.
Starting point is 00:11:19 It's a lot of detail. Like, this is the amount of detail you'd give to Pro-O if you were investigating. She explains why she waits for the receipt, because her DC likes to collect them. But then she also mentions that you often get a voucher at MNS, so I feel like she would have waited for the receipt anyway, and she's now trying to cover her track so she doesn't look like a petty voucher lady.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Yeah, she's someone who gives too much detail to Pro-O to throw off suspicion of a home. I was waiting around the ballroom, but I had a perfectly valid reason to be there. Oh. My husband likes me to wait around the ballroom. But also sometimes I get a voucher for waiting here. At the time of the murder.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah, so she got the receipt. Because DC likes to collect them. Yeah. That seems false. We don't know. That seems like a lie. I don't know enough about kids to know whether or not that is plausible. I'm not into kids, they're not my thing.
Starting point is 00:12:16 I wouldn't give my kids receipts just in case they put them in a scrapbook to take to school and everyone looks at how cheap the beans are that I bought. You don't buy beans? They'd just be looking at the frequency with which you buy oven chips. Exactly. How does every one of these receipts have oven chips on it? These two are from the same week. These are the fairs.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I want the teachers to judge me. No, you can't have the receipt. Oh. Yeah. So I wouldn't give my children receipts for that reason. Well, I mean, I think that that is a cover story anyway, because she does go on to say you usually get these vouchers with the receipt. I don't think the first half would be the voucher, though.
Starting point is 00:12:55 No. She said it was the first half of the receipt. Yeah, the first half of the receipt came out, and the woman tore it off and put it in a very clandestine manner folded up, behind a leaflet. Roll all the other receipt vouchers that she's got during the day. That's what I really don't understand. She seems so hit up.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Like, I couldn't face being confrontational. Why would you need to be confrontational? Why wouldn't you just say, oh, then I vouchers this time? And then she'd either say, yes or no. Would you actually say, did you tear off half of my receipt? Because you're keeping my voucher. What's that? You there.
Starting point is 00:13:32 You there, girl. Behind your leaflets. Show me? And then she says, there might. And then in all caps, of course. And then back to normal case. Be a reason. explanation but am i being unreasonable to think there isn't you've really made your mind up about
Starting point is 00:13:47 this this girl once we rule out the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth we haven't ruled out anything impossible damn it yeah i don't know maybe the receipt till maybe the receipt thing malfunctioned and printed an extra blob and she tore it off the threat say seems like a big risk for her to take for the sake of a fiver when m and s staff get a big discount anyway. Yeah, why wish you your entire career on a voucher? Yeah. Your life.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Your whole livelihood. Yeah. What are you going to tell the kids? Oh, I got fired because I was stealing vouchers. From uptight ladies who's, yeah. I just wanted a dining for two and now I'm in jail. But Mommy, your staff discount. Wait for me, kids.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Wait for Mommy on the outside. Yeah. It does seem like a big risk. Someone else has said, I'd say there's probably a reason, maybe the vouchers had a fault, or they were out of date or something. So she seems to have agreed that there was a voucher that was torn off, but she thinks that it was torn off for a reason. I don't think we've established that in any way.
Starting point is 00:14:54 No. Someone else has said, was it the shop copy of the receipt, like when you pay by card? Yeah, probably. Yeah. But then, then a couple of people come along and really back up the OP's strange view that checkout staff had desperately tried to steal vouchers.
Starting point is 00:15:11 So two posts in a row come along and say, like, yeah, this sounds plausible. Did I write this? Because this happened to me about a year ago. And like you, I was super paranoid, so paranoid that I emailed M&S customer services with the query of whether my voucher had been thrown out. I gave him the transaction number, and they informed me it had been a duplicate receipt and no voucher had been printed. I got a bit obsessive about stupid stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:15:37 Especially if it involves a deal voucher money off. It's a compulsion I'm working on. Those five off 25 don't print every time. So that's the first person who's come along to say, Oh, I agree. But then does say actually probably nothing happened. The next person. It's worth checking with customer services.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I shop in Morrison's. When they send me extra points vouchers, and I always know when I'm due of £5 off voucher. Recently, it didn't print off at the till. The in-store customer services could tell from their system that it had been issued a few days earlier, when I knew I hadn't been in the shop. I don't know if somehow a member of staff have been able to do it without me being there, but central customer services were very good and put it back on my card
Starting point is 00:16:22 without any hassle. It could be innocent, but worth checking. Who are these people? Like, go as far as contacting all these customer services and wondering if a member of staff has secretly printed a five-pound off voucher when you haven't been in the shop? I've come round on this. What? Because I remember an episode of a show that we watch on Food Network called Mystery Diner's.
Starting point is 00:16:48 It's a terrible show where a boring man runs covert surveillance in diners and restaurants. And in one episode, he uncovered a voucher stealing ring where people were printing duplicate vouchers and stealing them.
Starting point is 00:17:03 I remember this and it wasn't so the staff could get five pounds off their meal. It was so the staff could put it through the tilt and keep the additional money. So the customer had no voucher and they'd be like, oh, that's 30 bucks, but then the staff member would slip the voucher in, so it's actually only 15 bucks, and they're pocketing 15. So what we need to do here is bring Charles Stiles to the UK, change the format of his programme so he's looking at small supermarkets and send him to M&S. Wow, we have really got to the bottom of this mystery. With that, let's move on to the next thread. Well, not really, but...
Starting point is 00:17:37 Am I being unreasonable to think seats aren't reserved on a train if they don't put tickets out? Or are they still reserved, regardless of tickets? Some woman just asked me to move, despite there being eight rows of identical seats free behind me. Of course, train seats are reserved if there aren't tickets out. Yeah. This is absolute nonsense. This is exactly how I felt when I read this post. Just because there's not a little ticket out, doesn't... Oh! Yeah, so if someone turns up and they're like, this is my reserved seat, Don't say all that's eight identical, because what if they're all reserved?
Starting point is 00:18:08 At the next station, that person who reserved a seat because they have more foresight than you did, little lady, sits in one of those, then they get turfed out of their seat. You're still there. The absolute failure of people in this country to understand how seat reservations work on a train baffles me continuously. I know there's new people coming into the world all the time.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Do you mean babies? Babies, and then children. But surely everyone knows. as how to use a train by now. And yet, every time I get a train, there's people who don't know that the little cards mean seat reservations, or that even if
Starting point is 00:18:44 the card's not there, it still means the seat is reserved, or who don't look at the little LED displays on the virgin trains. My least favorite are the people who sit in someone else's reserved seat, so I always try to reserve a window seat, and then people come and sit in the window seat, and they say, oh sorry, do you want
Starting point is 00:19:00 to sit in my seat, which is the aisle seat, which doesn't have a plug socket, and isn't a window seat, seat and I'm like, no, if I wanted a shit seat, I would have reserved a shit seat, wouldn't I? Yeah, pal. I would have been like, put me in the worst seat going, I'd be barged by people with bags, I don't want to be able to charge my phone, and I want to have to look at you, not the view. No, it's not the same. Pal, you remember when we booked these online, we went through the same process, and you
Starting point is 00:19:22 got to choose whether you were in a window or an aisle seat, I didn't fuck up. Makes me disproportionately mad. One time, coming back from Manchester, me and Simon were on a train, we got there, there were a couple sitting in our reserved seats which were the window facing each other at a table and because I'm belligerent I said sorry those are our seats and the man just looked at me as if to say
Starting point is 00:19:44 what are you going to do about it for ages as he very slowly shifted his prete around on the table as if to say I'm deciding I'm going to move for you and I just thought who are you and then for two hours we had to sit coming back from Manchester with them there hating us but that's because they reserved bad seats Do you remember when Jeremy Corbyn went on that Virgin train that was packed?
Starting point is 00:20:03 It was... It was ram-packed, which has to be that I was not a phrase. Thank you. Yeah, this train is ram-packed. Yeah, it was ram-packed. But everyone pointed to the surveillance camera footage of him walking past all these empty seats. And, like, they all had cards in. Everyone got so indignant about him walking past these empty seats, they had cards in.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Does no one know how to use trains? Maybe we should just give up the whole cart. Let's just give up seat reserved. You sit where you want. Right, but the thread, the thread, it's just no reserved ticket on the seat, it's not reserved. Of course it's reserved, it's on my ticket. And someone else has said, of course they're reserved. If the person has a ticket saying so, for all you know, the eight identical rows could also be reserved stations along the line.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Unbally, trains in this country. If there's no ticket on the seat, the seat is not reserved. Yes, it is. You could be moving throughout your journey, by this logic. Well, yeah, you should have reserved a seat, pal. I'm absolutely furious at this one. This isn't light-hearted of fun. I'm just furious.
Starting point is 00:21:10 If she can show you she has the tickets, you should move. Otherwise, she may get asked to move later on the journey. Yeah, sit in your reserved seats or find an unreserved seat. If someone has a ticket with a seat number on it, then they have reserved that seat. It doesn't matter if there is a ticket on the seat or not. Good. If the tickets haven't been put out, the policy is then that there are no reservations. That's not true. Very, very often
Starting point is 00:21:32 they'll say, sorry, there's a problem with the tickets. Yeah. Seat reservations do still stand. They tell you if the reservations aren't still in place and that's usually if the service before or immediately after has been cancelled and they're like, sorry, overcrowding. Sorry, we had to do a... Now it's Lord of the Flies. Sorry, we had to do a very quick turnover on this train because the cleaning staff were preoccupied, putting away your prep wrappers and your bottles that you've left lying around. Because you're scum. I don't know why I pick this one
Starting point is 00:22:01 Also everyone listening to this is going to think that we're absolutely The most unreasonable people going Because we're both too head up about this I don't get trains that often You know trains that you need to reserve a seat for But when I do I sit in the right seat The seat that I've reserved
Starting point is 00:22:14 My God given, right Should we just There are two more posts that I want to read to you One that's going to make you mad And then another one that might well be you That'd start with the one that will make me mad And then a pallet cleanser I refused to move when this happened to me, only there wasn't plenty of space.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I was with four DC who would have had to have sit separately, not knowing whether whatever seat we sat in would then be reserved. The ticket collector took my side and said in these cases there are no reservations. Had I been on my own, I'd have moved. You shouldn't have been travelling with four children that you didn't have reservations for? So then someone comes and says, why didn't you reserve seats if you were going to be that inflexible due to the number of children you were travelling with?
Starting point is 00:22:56 so someone goes to the effort of reserving a seat for whatever reason they do and has less of a priority than someone who just jumps on and makes no plans and arrangements for ensuring they and their children travel together you just assume I have children I trump everyone so tough I'd be irritated that I've planned ahead and you just acted entitled so all in all that was an infuriating thread am I being unreasonable to make him wash his own trousers Oof
Starting point is 00:23:23 It could go out of all that Well Last night My other half went out Sorry, last night My other half went out It was the 10th anniversary of the bar So drinks were flowing free
Starting point is 00:23:35 I don't mind that he got super drunk If I wasn't breastfeeding With a young baby I would have loved it However, when he came back He informed me drunkenly That he had peed his trousers I made him wipe himself down
Starting point is 00:23:47 Because he was too drunk to wash And go to bed After inspecting his clothes He'd shut himself royally. It's a mess. Do I back it up and make him wash it when he comes back from work at 1pm, even though he has warmed up death today? What's the worst state your partner's been in?
Starting point is 00:24:06 Well, let's forget the little conversation starter at the end. I don't know why she's tried to make this, a chatty tip bit. Oh, on the way? Do you do it on the way home? Who gets so drunk they shit themselves? And why is she even considering washing these trousers? Burn them! Burn them in the back garden!
Starting point is 00:24:30 Don't burn them, that'll release odours. Just wrap them tightly in a bag and take them to the municipal dump or whatever it is. Burn them in the back garden. Why would you start a poo fire in your back garden? It would smell like poo. Make it go away. I think I just very tightly wrapped them in a bag and then wrap the bag in a Ziploc bag and then put the bag in a Tupperware and then put the bag in a Tupperware and then put the the tough weight in another bag and then drive it to the dump.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And then call a lawyer to start divorce proceedings. Yes. Why is she even considering washing his trousers for him? How do you go about washing trousers that someone's pooed? Oh, you don't. You throw them away, you burn them. When he came back, he informed me drunkenly to pee his trousers. Hey, I did it.
Starting point is 00:25:15 And then she says that she made him wipe himself down because he was too drunk to wash. That implies that he wouldn't have wiped himself down unless she'd made him do it, he would have just rolled into the bed. Wipe yourself down, dear, what you're like? That'd be furious. You'd be furious? Yeah. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:25:32 And my partner came home, peed himself, poo down his legs. Yeah, he's not sleeping in my bed tonight. No. Oh, I hadn't even really thought about that. Was she in the same bed? Oh. Yeah, if she discovered the pants later, then he didn't wipe. Oh.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Burn those sheets Burn the house Yeah Burn everything he touched Should we just hear from the thread What a state The 10 year anniversary of the bar Like the bar exam
Starting point is 00:26:01 I think probably just the pub Oh I thought he was a lawyer Maybe A barrister I thought he'd pass the bar I'd imagine that it was like the pub Saying oh it's our
Starting point is 00:26:13 I don't know 10th anniversary That's Open bar for our regulars Come and get so drunk that you become doubly incontinent? No, you need to burn those trousers. Maybe burn the bar down as well for encouraging this.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah. Just burn it all. Yeah. The husband's gone out, got so drunk that he pooed himself, and left you alone with a baby that you're still breastfeeding. Burn it to the ground. Let's hear from the thread briefly. Don't end it with a chippy conversational.
Starting point is 00:26:44 No. When was the last time you pooed yourself? No, exactly. Like, oh, yeah, my partner came. came in, they were really drunk and they were singing to themselves and they tripped over and then they decided to make some sort of weird concoction of food. Funny story. Yeah, that is funny. My partner came in, covered in poo.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Covered in feces. And was too drunk to wash. And has now gone out to work. Oh. Yeah. I don't think I could ever get too drunk. I don't think I could ever get into that state. I don't see how many of you...
Starting point is 00:27:14 I think my body would shut down before it did that. Yeah, exactly. I'd find some way. to not poo my pants in an emergency in an emergency situation the same way that we all go about
Starting point is 00:27:29 not pooing our pants the rest of the time it's not the case of finding some way it's just it's just really basic I'd sloof some way out I'd look on wiki hell right we're going to hear from the thread briefly
Starting point is 00:27:43 of course he washes his own trousers he isn't too why isn't he washing his own trousers anyway. Yeah, why isn't he washing his own trousers? That's disgusting. I would chuck them. The trousers? Or the trousers and the other half? He was so drunk he became incontinent.
Starting point is 00:28:03 That's really worrying. Is this the first time it's happened? Why on earth would you even be considering cleaning up after him? I must say, though, I'm impressed he's actually got up and gone to work. None of not. Someone said, I'd leave them next to him, which sounds like funny way of getting your own back, but that means you're leaving pooey trousers out in your home. Yeah, that's kind of attract flies. Oh dear, just put his shitty pants in a bin bag and leave them outside the back door.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Why outside the back door? Who's going to come and collect them from outside the back door? Then you've just got a bag of shitty trousers outside indefinitely. Leave them on a train in place of a reservation ticket. No one's going to take that seat. He walks to work, otherwise there'd be harsh words. I'm surprised he managed to get up at 8 a.m. No, he doesn't usually have accidents. I think it was a mix of dinner.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Sorry, with no dinner and liquor. Right, but, I mean, we've all been out, you know, after work or whatever and not had dinner and then been drinking. They've pooed myself. Yeah, now you're like, I need to stop now because I haven't had any dinner. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. My body would shut down before it let me poo myself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 And then someone has said, in his defence, there's a vile bug going around that involves only just getting to the loo and feeling spacey and throwing up. No. No. No, because if you had a bug, although you might end up pooing yourself because you've got a horrible bug, you would know that you'd done it. That's a totally different situation. That's horribly unfortunate and sounds like a disgusting bug to have, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But if you were really, really poorly and you pooed yourself, you'd know, and...
Starting point is 00:29:37 You wouldn't drunkenly announce that you'd wake yourself proudly like a child. No. No, this is absolutely horrific. Let's end this whole thing. Let's end this podcast. Burn it to the ground. Burn mummerset to the ground. Join us next week for starting again and ground snap.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Yeah. The last comment that we'll read from this, I'd be disposing of the trousers and him. I agree. Not murder. Just put me in a bin bag by the back door and forget about him. Let's do a speed round. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I'll try and find some nice ones that aren't about poo. Am I being unreasonable to get really annoyed with fine thanks? Fine, thanks. Yeah. Am I being unreasonable, D.H. screaming at me while I'm on the toilet. Oh, you said you wouldn't have any more poo-bonds. Tough. No, he's allowed to scream.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Am I being unreasonable, family holding off visiting because we're waiting to see the baby? Hmm, no. Am I being unreasonable, road closed, follow diversion. Uh, yeah, just follow the diversion. Are I being unreasonable to be angry at photos at nativity? It's the 25th of March, guys. Am I being unreasonable, differences between dating French men and British men? No.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Am I being unreasonable, which birds visit your garden? Well, on that bum show, to finish up. Yeah, we may well move to Grandinette for our next episode for a bit of novelty value. And because really, digging into this forum is killing me. The people on it are hateful. I'm really sorry that you had to hear the one about poo, but it was that or just serious. hardcore turfiness.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Yeah, the poo-ons are the good ones. At this point they are, which is why we're going to be trying out Gransnet next week. Oh, that's nice. Let's do it. An Easter special. An Easter special from Gransnet. Followers at that way of being reasonable. Continue listening to the podcast, wherever you're listening to this right now.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I mean, you found this. Yeah. So just carry on. Crack on. Unless you're listening to it because one of us is following you around, blaring it through our own phone into your face. Sorry about that. Yeah, sorry. people I work with. Well, goodbye. Bye. Happy Easter. Happy Easter.
