You Are Being Unreasonable - 018 - In which we turn our street up to 11

Episode Date: May 17, 2018

"If anyone has any YouTube videos of a puppy successfully eating Manchego cheese but leaving the waxy rind perfectly intact and then placing it back in the fridge, I would like to watch those videos." Another deep dive into Mumsnet's AIBU forum. This week, we look for Schrödinger's cheese, we get asked for our marital status to buy chicken nuggets, and we get engaged again. If you have any Mumsnet AIBU threads for us to look at, please let us know on Twitter at @YABUnreasonable.

Hello, driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription. All I know, 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. Hello.

Hello. Welcome to You are Being Unreasonable. about people being unreasonable on mumsnet.com. She's Helen. And he's Simon. And together we do a podcast like we just explained. Yeah, we do. That is the premise.

For anyone who has recently joined us, hasn't listened before, we just go through the Am I Being Unreasonable boards of Mumsnet, and then we're like, what? What are you doing this? Why have you used your finite time on this earth to complain about your neighbour's plants on Mumsnet? And then we use our finite time to talk about it, and you use your finite time to listen.

So let's begin! We're going to start with the speed round. Am I being unreasonable to want to anonymously report someone who has a cash-only job and not pay tax? Yeah. Snitches get stitches. Yeah. Am I being unreasonable to love review responses like this? No, review responses are great. That's another episode of the podcast we should do.

Just go through Amazon reviews one day, especially one-star reviews. We should find reviews of Mumsnet. Oh. Meta. Am I being unreasonable? Banana mystery. No. We gotta get to the bottom of that.

Well, we're never going to find out. It's the speed round. Yeah. Am I being unreasonable? I sat on someone's poo at work, part two. Puk on my arm now. Jesus Christ. That escalated.

It did. Also part two. Part two, yeah. Is that someone's second thread? about sitting on poo at work? I sat in the poo again and now I was sick on my shoe. Are they being unreasonable? The poo-o-o-ear is, the poo-ee isn't.

Poohy. Poohy. Am I being unreasonable to think the baby boomer generation appears on another planet? No. Don't lust for home ownership. Yeah. Very like the aliens from the movie Independence Day. And...

Who just wanted to own homes. I just wanted to own homes. I just wanted to own homes and berate people for eating avocado toast. Last one for this speed round. Am I being unreasonable? Just had a massage and I feel like a troll. Oh, no. No. No. No.

Okay. Let's do a full-length thread. Just a word of warning. This full-length thread is lengthy. It's a long boy. It is a long boy. Usually I wouldn't pick one that was this long, but I love it because it doesn't make any sense at all to me.

So settle in. Grab a cup of tea. Gather around, kids, as those annoying Twitter threads always begin. Am I being unreasonable? Second wedding presents. A few weeks ago, D.H.'s cousin announced that her and her husband are having a second wedding. Their first wedding was very quiet, immediate family only, so we weren't invited, and we found out about it after the fact.

No problem with this at all. I'm a firm believer in doing what you want for your wedding. We weren't offended not to be invited as we were not really that close to that part of the family but we're happy to hear of the news and we sent a card along with a bottle of champagne the second wedding announcement was on Facebook with pictures from an engagement photo shoot

and said something like we're planning a big party you all better be there along with about 200 other people both DH and I liked the status and sent text saying the party sounded fun and we were looking forward to it D.H. is away for work this week.

Last night, D.H.'s aunt, mother of the, air quote, bride, rang me. Aunt starts telling me how upset they were that we haven't sent an engagement present to the cousin yet. I laughed and said, but they're already married. D.H.'s aunt has taken grievous offence at all of this and proceeded to tell me that it's unfair that we got thousands and thousands of pounds worth of wedding presents and her D.D. missed out. and that I needn't think a bottle of champagne lets me off the hook. I've spoken to D.H and told him to deal with his rude aunt when he's back from his trip. He was totally shocked at her cheek, but mostly we had a laugh about it. I've since spoken to my lovely mother-in-law, who has had a call from the aunt along similar lines.

Aunt and cousin don't think it's fair that she missed out on having her day being the centre of attention. She specifically brought up the amount of money her D.D. received as wedding presents versus what she thinks other family members receive for their weddings. I'm not being unreasonable, am I? You don't decide to have another wedding because you want to fleece your relatives. And even if you do have another wedding, you don't get a flipping engagement present. And if you want to tell someone the gift they got you as crap, don't wait three years to do it. Also, for context, D.H.'s cousin is the same age as us.

We're all in our 30s. We said no gifts for our wedding because most of our guests were travelling a really long way. However, some people did choose to give us gifts anyway, and we were great. for these. The cousin didn't get us anything. The aunt was very offended that we had said no gifts because apparently this was a clever ruse to make people give us thousands and thousands in cash instead of presents. The aunt gave us a hideous fruit bowl about six months later and said, I don't agree with subsidising people's honeymoons when she handed it over. You're not allowed. There's so much. You can't get against again. You can't decide that you

want thousands and thousands of pounds. Well, you can't get engaged again, once you're engaged, that's it. And it culminates at a wedding and then you're done. Yeah, you can't then get engaged while you're married. No. I like the idea of having a second wedding. That sounds nice. That's a renewal of vows, though. It's not a second wedding. Takes the pressure off the first wedding. I suppose. I suppose. Don't have to worry about fucking it up because you can just do it again. But don't expect thousands of pounds worth of gifts. Are engagement presents? That's not appropriate. Do people give engagement presents as a general rule? You know, we got some plants.

We got some plants. And we got a bottle of champagne. And then we never knew when it was time to drink the champagne. Because we're not really people who would crack open a bottle of champagne. And those things were lovely and they were appreciated. But I wouldn't have kicked off if we didn't receive any plants or champagne. Wouldn't have been like, oh my God, why are we even doing this? We didn't get any plants or champagne or thousands and thousands of pounds.

No, this is very unreasonable. You can't get engaged again to the same person Unless you break up, divorce And then get engaged again Like years down the line Like in a few months If you like

I don't understand where they aren't then phoned up To say I can't believe you haven't sent a present Even if you did think that was the way it worked No invitation has been sent out They've just put a post on Facebook saying Oh you're all coming to a party I wouldn't see a Facebook post about a party And then immediately send a present

That would be super weird. Who's keeping track of presents in this granular detail? They aren't. You must need a spreadsheet to keep all this information. Has given present, hasn't given present. Gave present which I don't approve of. Gave thousands of thousands of pounds to another relative. I mean, we haven't even asked for presents.

No, we have not. It's our wedding this week. This week. And we haven't asked for presents. We asked for charitable donations. We did. Just because we got. enough stuff already, man.

Got loads of stuff, not got a very big flat. Cushions and microphones and recording equipment. Cats, cats as far as the eye can see. Yeah, the thousands of pounds worth of recording equipment that we obviously spend on this podcast. The studio. The studio rental. The sound panelling for the walls.

I mean, it's all going on. But we don't have a fruit bowl, so maybe this horrible aunt is someone that we need to get to know. No, she sounds horrible. But she gives out fruit bowls. I don't want a fruit bowl. It's a class signifier as we discussed in a previous episode. Fine.

I don't want anyone to know my class. Okay. I'm an enigma. The classless man they call me. Just because you don't have a fruit bowl doesn't mean that you've somehow defeated the class system, but okay. Yeah, this northern accent, didn't do me any favours in that we got. No. Should we just pick out some of the highlights of this epic post?

So the second wedding announcement was on for. Facebook with pictures from an engagement photo shoot. Yeah, so did they do the engagement photo shoot before the first wedding? It doesn't sound like it. You can't do that after you're married, because you're not engaged anymore. That's just a photo shoot. Which in and of itself is a little bit odd. I think you could at least call it a couple's photo shoot or a married photo shoot.

No, it's just a photo shoot. Just a photo shoot. Just a standard photo shoot. Like we all do of a weekend. The word photo shoot is fine, right? But we just got an email from the wedding photographer saying she's bringing a second shooter, which is great, you know, happy about that.

But the phrase second shooter. At least she didn't say active shooter. Yeah, it's all very, you know, grassy knoll. It is, isn't it? So these people have hired a shooter, and now their mum's kicking off. Well, I'd kick off if someone hired an assassin to come to the wedding,

to kill my whole of the lamp. Let's look at some of the things that the aunt does. So the aunt phones up. Apropos of nothing, starts saying how upset the couple are. I don't know why she's telling them about the couple. They're all in their 30s. They can communicate with one another if it matters that much.

Then the aunt takes offence when they say that they're already married, so I'll get a present. The aunt says that it's unfair that they got thousands and thousands of pounds worth of wedding presents. The aunt says that she needs. didn't think that a bottle of champagne lets me off the hook and that we're expected to get a

proper wedding present. I'd be interested to know what the aunt thinks constitutes a proper wedding present. It meets these criteria. It's round, stores fruit, is made of glass or plastic. Well yeah, because the aunt then goes on to say she doesn't approve of paying people's honeymoon, but she does seem to want her daughter to get cash. But I suppose it isn't a honeymoon, what with them having been married for three years already. Yeah. I think I think the aunt is unreasonable. Oh, the aunt sounds like a true piece of work. I've got no idea what the daughter or the daughter's husband-slash-fiance

make of this, because they haven't said anything. No, this sounds unreasonable all around. Don't go. Should we hear what the thread has to say? I hope they're saying don't go. The thread are saying, regift the fruit bowl. Over and over and over again, the thread just wants her to re-gift the damn fruit bowl. Seems legit. I'd be surprised if she'd kept the fruit bowl, to be honest.

Honestly, 25 responses on the thread. They all just say re-gift the fruit bowl in one way or another. Uh, that's page one. There's six pages of responses. I'm going to hazard that they all say re-gift the fruit bowl. Am I being unreasonable? Ms. Mrs. Miss over-excitement. Crumbs.

Am I being unreasonable to feel so incredibly happy because I just booked a European travel ticket and the only options for title were Ms. or mister. It was so simply easy and the first time in my life I've not been asked to disclose my marital status or my unwillingness to disclose my marital status as a title on a document. Small steps but I feel it is a small victory for equality. What a form that didn't have the right number of fields? Yeah a form that only has Ms or Mr. That's not a great step for equality at all. Oh, what about MX? What about doctors? What about doctors? Too big for their

They can be Ms or Mr like everyone else. What about babies? What about babies? What about young Master Bruce? All right, Master Bruce, let's get you a train ticket. I actually have a baby went by a Ms. This is Ms. Olivia. Oh, is she a baby?

Yes. Ms. Olivia, may I introduce Master Bruce? Mr. Bruce, sorry. Mr. Bruce. Why is this baby being introduced to Bruce Wyatt? Why is... Bruce Wayne booked through the same travel company as this mum's net poster. Yeah, I assume Bruce Wayne would ever take the batwing or Alfred would book the tickets fine.

And Alfred would make sure that it was master. Yeah, because despite being, you know, 30 odd years, Bruce Wayne is still master Bruce. Whereas... On all official documentation. Whereas the baby is Ms. Miz. And we're being unreasonable to feel so incredibly happy. That's strong feelings about an incorrect form.

Too much, man. What are you doing with your title after you get married? Well, at the moment, I go by Miss, and that is a political statement, because why was I want to hide the fact that I'm not married? So you would not be happy with this one? No. After I'm married, I guess I'll go by a Ms.

Because Misses doesn't feel like it would suit me. Who were Mrs? Exactly. It's too bawdy. The bawdy implication. The borediest title going. I've encountered people, but only ever on Mumsnet, to be honest. I've encountered people who believe that Muz is solely reserved for people who are divorced

and you're not allowed to use it if you're not divorced. And I think it would be quite entertaining to use a title immediately after getting married that some people thought indicated divorce. Jeez, Louise. It's always good to mess with people who care so much about titles. So much easier, as I'm then. Well, not just in this respect, but also in the world, yes. But no, you have been missed her since I was like 15, 16.

Did you ever go by Master? Oh, yes. Master Simon Barron. By all accounts, you were a very serious little boy. That's true. And that's new signing off petitions. Master Simon Baron, petitioning to not have to eat broccoli. I think describing your own feelings as over-excitement is a bit weird.

Yeah. It seems to invalidate her. her feelings. Yeah, this isn't a small victory for equality. This is nothing. It's just a bad form. Yeah, a bad European form. Yeah.

So if it is a victory for equality, it's a victory for EU equality. It's the first time in her life that she's not been asked to disclose her marital status. I don't think that's true. The first, everywhere she goes. When you're ordering chicken nuggets, they don't ask you that, do they? I'm a man. I've never been asked. I haven't ordered chicken nuggets in so long that I couldn't tell you what the procedure is. And are these chicken nuggets for your husband, more?

Wherever you buy your chicken nuggets, it's really sinister. That was McDonald's. Oh, yeah, like... That was a slightly posh effeminate person who worked at McDonald's, my new character. I like it. Like, Tim Curry. Chicken nuggets. It had a Tim Curry quality.

Cheese pizza. This is a bit like, there was fun the other week where I said, oh, this is just some virtue-signalling nonsense. I feel like this is someone who's hoping that everyone on a mum's going to be like, you're such a good feminist, well done. Feminism points for you. But they just come across as a moron. Let's hear from the thread.

How is it a victory for equality? By removing choice, you're denigrating those who do not wish to be called Ms. I'm not Miss, I'm not Ms, I am Mrs, I like being Mrs. I have a bank card that came with no title. Ooh, I'd like one of those. I'm not sure that's a real bank card

It might be a scam Anyone knows which banks let you have a bank card with no title I could change banks Someone else has said something about proving a strange feminist point with this post And then someone said, yes, wanting a quality between men and women Is so strange, isn't it? So it's good to see that Bridget Christie's come along

to do a bit of comedy on this thread Probably what happened Is the OP being unreasonable? Well, it seems a bit harsh to call them unreasonable but this certainly isn't the forum for this banal observation. But this is the forum for branding people reasonable or unreasonable with no nuance or middle ground, so were they being unreasonable or not? Yes.

Yes. Am I being unreasonable? He says I'm weird about food. My husband has a habit of eating any food he happens across. Roar ingredients are usually safe from him, but any food that can be eaten straight from the fridge or cupboard is fair, again. He says, it's just food. It's meant to be eaten. I can always buy more and if I object I'm being weird about it. The thing is, it's very often something I've bought for a specific

reason. Matters came to a head yesterday because I bought some Manchago cheese for a recipe I was making. He knew this because he commented that I don't often buy Manchago and I told him what it was for. When I went to get it from the fridge, he'd removed the waxy rind and put it back the packaging, but the cheese was gone. He freely admitted to eating it and he could see nothing wrong with that. Putting the packaging back is one of the things he does. I'm always finding empty packets carefully put back in their place. He's always been what I would call competitive about food in a schoolboyish kind of way. Stuff like eating his dinner as fast as possible, then helping himself off my plate. I've tried giving him even bigger and bigger.

bigger portions, but he still does this. If he asks for a bite of my sandwich, he'll grab the whole thing in his mouth. If I don't give him any, he says I'm hoarding and being weird about food. Mostly, I'm just hungry. I don't begrudge him the food if he really needs it, but it's frustrating to plan a meal and then find I can't cook it in quite the way I intended because he's eaten a crucial ingredient. Or knowing that I bought some biscuits that morning, but going to the tin in the afternoon and be in face with the empty packet. Am I being unreasonable? Well, this seems very pointed, Helen.

You know full well, I eat anything that I find in the cupboards, and if you bought some manchego cheese, it would be gone before you could use it in anything. Would you put the waxy rind back? No, I'd throw it away, but then you'd ask, where's my manchigo cheese, and I'd just have to gaslight you and say you'd never bought any. It would be easier to gaslight her if he stopped putting the packaging back where he found it. Exactly.

This is... He should take it to the council tip. Yeah. Not even their outside bin in case you sees it. He should drive to the tip with the waxy rind. Yeah, this is grazing 101. Have a snack. Go to the municipal disposal site.

Yeah. Empty the fridge. No, but I'm always eating, you know, bits of ham, cheese slices. Bits of ham and cheese slices are things that you buy that I wouldn't want for recipes. Yes. So if I knew you'd bought like a nice blue cheese for a risotto. later in the week, I would refrain from eating the blue cheese. Yeah, exactly. It's very different. If you buy foods as snacky foods to have as little snacks, and then you eat them as little snacks.

Yeah, it's not like I eat everything I find. I text you if I'm going to eat one of your special veggie sausages. Exactly, yeah. And, you know, fancy cheeses, you ask about those. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't just eat anything like. Any sort of bread that looks like an unusual bread, you're always like, oh, can I use this bit of bread? Yeah, man, do you like. Go for it. It's fine. Eat some bread. I'm not the boss.

I would eat your biscuits. I think biscuits are fair. And your snacker jacks. Snacker jacks are definitely fair. It would be weird if I came back and I was like, I was going to make a snacker jack bake. Same with biscuits. Yes.

And you're always saying I don't eat enough. Like this man. Yeah, this man seems to eat far too much. Maybe he doesn't eat too much, but the way he goes about eating sounds terrible. She says she's giving him bigger and bigger portion. Yeah, yeah, no, I've realised I've associated the way he eats with the quantity. He might not be eating enough at all, but who goes around asking for a bite of someone's sandwich in the first place? That strikes me as very odd behaviour.

Then shoves the hook. Yeah, I am picturing him, like, just folding it into a tight ball of sandwich. Yeah, just shoving that in the getting down on it, like Ben Horn eating a brilliant butter baguette. I know someone who had this really terrible boyfriend at uni and she went to the bathroom and when she came back he'd folded her entire pizza into four and was just like nibbling on it like a camsone. Jeez, that's...

Yeah, I mean if you need those things for meals, if you've bought ingredients, that's found it very stressful to not have them. Yeah. Getting ingredients together is the most stressful part of cooking. Yeah. what you've got in, because I never know what I have in the fridge. It's a constant state of Schrodinger's cat. Constant source of surprise. Yeah. I don't know what's in there. Is there

cheese in here or not? It's both alive or dead until I open the door. Yeah. I like Schrodinger's fridge. That's good. Shrodinger's cheese. Yeah. So I never know what's in there. I never know what we have, and that's why I struggle to make meals properly, because I don't know what ingredients I have in and what I need to buy. Yeah. And it's very stressful. Yeah. So someone actively working against me in this regard, sneaking in and taking ingredients away

as some kind of game. And then putting the packaging back so it looked like the ingredient was there. So I opened the, before I got a sainsbury's, I opened the fridge. Oh, there's manchego cheese. Right. I just need to pick up, I don't know, olives for my manchego cheese and olive bake. Then I get back. There is no manchego cheese.

It's gone. Just a waxy rind. Yeah, just a waxy rind. An empty husk. A husband with Manchago burps. Oh no. Yeah. This is a good point.

As well as this being really inconvenient, if he is stuffing whole sandwiches into his mouth, he must be a pig to live with. Big sandwichy burps. A whole sandwich. What does he mean he's doing sandwichy burps? I have eaten whole sandwiches myself. and I don't go around burping them up all the time.

You don't eat them in one bite? No, but that doesn't equate to burping either. Eating a sandwich in one bite cannot be good for your digestion. No, probably not. You look so annoyed by the fact you've had to concede that I might have a point here. Why does the husband say multiple times that the OEP is being weird about food? Like when she says, don't eat my whole sandwich in one go, he says you're hoarding food. I'm hiding food

When she says I need that for a recipe He says she's being weird It sounds like he is gaslighting her Like he's causing a lot of Her, a lot of food anxiety Yeah Through his careless statements

Leave the bastard Wow, leave the bastard Well, let's look at what the thread has to say Do you have children or can you divorce him There we go, see Christ, my dog doesn't act like that and she's only nine months old so there we go

not only is a dog better behaved it's a puppy not even a full size dog who's learnt yeah you probably couldn't get the waxy rind of a manchego cheese especially at nine months old if anyone's got any YouTube videos of a puppy successfully eating manchago cheese

but leaving the waxy rind perfectly intact and then placing it back in the fridge I would like to watch those videos someone said I'm guessing you're both overweight which seems a real stretch I don't know that you can conclude that someone's overweight because they don't want their husband to eat their sandwich in one bite. No, that's weirdly fatphobic. It is. Out of nowhere. You fat bitch, you don't want to

open the fridge to find loads of waxy rinds. That person's terrible. Someone said he's being weird about food. That's not really normal. Why does he go to the trouble putting the packets back? Someone has just said, did he go to boarding school? So... Eleventh. Maybe they just want a fuller picture of this man. Nonsense. And there we go. Someone has said leave the bastard and the fact that someone's done the LTV with the acronym.

There we go. Job done. Am I being unreasonable? Would it be petty to refuse new neighbours' request? I live in a cul-de-sac. The houses are in a semi-circle and my house is the one on one of the ends. A few years ago, our next-door neighbours knocked down their detached house and replaced it with two semi-detached houses. They live in one of the houses and they sold the other. Consequently,

they live at number nine, the other house is 9A and my house is number 10. The people in 9A recently moved and we have some new next-door neighbours. This morning, the woman from 9A came round and asked if we would be willing to change our house number to 11 so that they could be number 10. She says loads of their posts and deliveries keep getting sent to number 9 and she just thinks this would be easier? Would it be unreasonable to say no? I'm used to saying that I live at number 10. We've lived here for years. And I'd have to go through the effort of changing our addresses and contacting everyone we know and getting it changed officially and legally. Or should I just be neighbourly and agree? Sounds like this street goes up to 11. Well no, it doesn't. That's

the problem. Spinal Tap. Yeah. This is not the Spinal Tap Street. The opposite of Spinal Tap Street is just the Beatles Street. Yeah, which goes up to about six and a half. But future generations will be told that it went up to 43. You had to be there. No, he didn't. It's fine. Yeah, so the way the road was built, it went up to ten. The neighbours have got a nine and nine A situation.

Yep. It's only ever gone up to ten. Yep. I don't think it's as straightforward as the lady at nine A seemed to think. I don't think you can just change a load of house numbers. I think you need the post office and the local authority to approve that. I would have zero clue of how to change my house number. Yeah, I don't think you can just...

Because I assume you have to go through, you know, processes. You know when you fill in a form and you type in your postcode and it's got the list of addresses? Yeah. That's sourced from somewhere. That comes from some database somewhere. It comes from the post office. Yeah, so you have to at least register that with the post office. Now, if the neighbour offered to do all that administration,

I'd still say no. Oh, I wouldn't. I think that's fine. But you'd have to change your address with everyone. Yeah. And loads of your posts would go to the neighbour. Yeah, but they've just said they'll do the administration. But the neighbour clearly thinks collecting a little bit of their post occasionally from number nine is a real ball lake. So if they started getting posts that was addressed to you because that used to be your address,

they'd be first in line to be coming on mums net like, my bastard neighbours at number 11 keep getting their fucking shitty posts sent to my house. Am I being unreasonable to punch them in the throat? I'm sure they've thought this through. I don't think they have. And it's a lot tidier to just go 9-10-11 than 9-9-8-10. I agree. I think they should change.

Do you think the person at 9A has watched a lot of inside number 9 and doesn't feel comfortable with being 9A? I'd rather live inside number 10, to be honest. It's better inside number 10. There's no spooky short stories, in there. Yeah. There's being neighbourly, and then there's changing your address. Yeah, I mean, there's limits. I can say, I'd make the neighbour do all the legwork.

I'd make the neighbour promise that forevermore, if my post ended up at theirs, they'd come and put it through my box and they wouldn't get mad about it. Yeah, all this can be stipulated in a contract that you set out. Okay. But, yeah, I don't think that's an unreasonable request. As long as we can all work together to achieve this, it'd be great. Should you see what the thread says? It would be a huge pain in the ass, I'd imagine.

I lived at number 5A once, and it was no problem at all. I'm in the midst of buying number 1A at the moment. I don't anticipate any issues. Your neighbours just need to get a bigger number sign. I agree. I think that would be far less admin. Yeah, what would be a great aesthetic for a street is if all the houses had giant numbers on them,

like painted on the front. Like murals. Taking up the whole front of the house. I would like that. That would be such a cool look. One, two. I might be wrong, but I imagine the sort of people who move into a cul-de-sac where the only thing

that they can be fretting about is their neighbours and being neighbourly, probably don't want to live in a street full of murals. Fine. I might be wrong about that. I've got a lot of prejudice against basic bitches. I think it's also a cool look for one house to do it. Just a giant four on your house.

Well, the postman came up and tried to find something in the flat. The postman tried to find us in the flat the other day, but the individual flats in the building don't have letters on the doors. So maybe we could paint our door with a big mural of our letter. Yeah, or we could just encourage our neighbours to close the front door so the postman can't get in. Yeah, we could. You remember that early episode we did where if anyone knocked on our door, I would ignore it. I don't think it's the neighbours leaving the door open that's the problem.

I think it's the shopkeeper downstairs coming to open the door just to piss us off. She should be talking to the person who sold her the house and asked them to be 9A instead. Uh, no, it's not that inconvenient to go and pick up your misdirected post once in a while if someone's missed the A-off, whereas it'd be very inconvenient to change your whole number. But you need to change the details at the Land Registry? Would there be a cost? It all sounds too complicated. It does sound complicated. Why don't they get their property registered with a house name at the post office and use that? Yeah. Well, that'd be confusing too. It's like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

Shady Shoals. 10 You know that kind of Tweed house name Yeah Very often though Done roaming Oh yeah

The OPE should register their house As done roaming Just to get them back You can't register someone else's house I'm going to go around registering all the houses of people that I find annoying As done roaming Done being a prick

It'd be a pain in the bum changing all your mortgage documents I don't think so Why don't they be number 11? Oh no, that's even worse. No, it's even worse, because then it goes back. No. No, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Here's the new plan.

Eleven, ten. No, I don't like that at all. Everyone who moves onto the street gets assigned a random number when they move in. So the addresses are constantly changing. There's no two houses the same, but their number is random. So you're as equally likely to live to next to 2,217. as to 112. No, no, I think everyone should just keep their door numbers as they are

and the OPE should change her neighbour's house to dumb roaming. Fine. Should we do one last speed round? Yeah, blast through this. Am I being unreasonable for playing NWA loudly in the garden? No. Am I being unreasonable, the giraffe on Pablo? Yes.

Am I being unreasonable, nothing on feet, really? Yes, it depends where. Am I being unreasonable to do something with this cat? No, cats are great. Am I being unreasonable to hate Joe Wiley? Yes. Am I being unreasonable to want to go bra-less even though DP disapproves? No.

Burn your bra. Leave the bastard. Am I being unreasonable to think no milk at all will be okay? Oh, yeah. Am I being unreasonable to sex robots scare you? Oh, yes. Yes, they do scare or yes they're being unreasonable? Thanks for listening.

Ah! Oh no, Commode and Mayo are going to win. Or Red Miller Band. Yeah, they have... The Millie fandom. They'll be back to vote. Yeah, we don't have a collective name for our fans. We don't have a group of teenage girls on Twitter who, inexplicably,

think where the tits? The unreasonables? Let's brainstorm this. I don't know that we get to choose our fandom name. I think it just happens organically. Bye-bye! Thanks for listening. Thanks for listening. Bye.
