You Are Being Unreasonable - 074 - In which robots scam neighbours into buying McDonald's and bees get in the nuggs

Episode Date: May 14, 2020

"Press 1 to buy some land." Which supernatural beings are crap? Vampires, for sure. We discuss whether vampires could get the 'rona as well as neighbours demanding money for a mysterious group-buy of... McDonald's food, robots with long numbers running sophisticated phone scams about out-of-date chicken goujons, using this time (and massive privilege) to become self-sufficient, and Simon tries out a new tagline for the podcast.

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. Hello.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Hello, welcome to You Are Being Unreasonable, the podcast about people being Unreasonable on Mumsnet.com with me, Hells. And me, Simon, with 100 fast approaching, maybe it's time to change it up. I was thinking, welcome to Eurobeing Unreasonable, the podcast that's guaranteed coronavirus-free, because it implies all the other podcasts have coronavirus and we'll give it to you.
Starting point is 00:00:47 I'm not a superstitious person, but it also feels like tempting fake, doesn't it? Like, we'll say that, and then the following episode, rather than putting out an episode, it will be one of us recording a message saying that we're off air for the foreseeable, because the other one has got the rona.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Yeah, and the podcast has the rona, so everyone needs to isolate who's listened to it. Yeah, that's not how the rona is transmitted. Did you read that on a WhatsApp that came from someone's aunt? Yeah, that's how I get all my key medical information. Right, as someone's aunt, I feel like aunts are being much maligned at the moment, because everyone claims it's their aunt who's doing all this shit on the internet.
Starting point is 00:01:22 But, like, some of those aunts are presumably moms, and no one's admitting that their own mum is spreading fake news. Why are people saying it's always aunt? I don't know. Aunt is a slur. Okay. How about a speed round? Am I being unreasonable?
Starting point is 00:01:38 Vigina feels oddly uncomfortable. Hmm, I'll say. Am I being unreasonable? Disney Plus App. Disney plus app equals the COVID-19 alert level. And am I being unreasonable to think it might be okay to take my son to be in Q tomorrow. Don't see why not, as long as he doesn't live in a different health. household to you, then you can only meet him in the park. Yeah, and if you run into him at
Starting point is 00:02:02 B&Q, one of you must leave BNQ. Yeah. Isn't that the guidance? If you bump into someone you know, you have to immediately leave. So you have to treat every single person as if they are an ex who you had assumed had died. Yeah. Run away. Am I being unreasonable, neighbours demanding money for McDonald's. We live in a quite small but nice street, mainly detached with decent-sized gardens. We have a WhatsApp group. The whole street is our barring one family, L.O.L. But we won't talk about them. Anyway, DH is the one who reads the group most often and has now got into a massive fight with one of the neighbours over a group buy of McDonald's food next week. For any more? No. Because we don't know why they're buying McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And why is there a fight happening? And what about this other family? I want the details on that. And how does McDonald's have anything to do with it being a street of detached houses with decent-sized gardens. I think maybe your prejudice is showing there, isn't it? You're worried that because of McDonald's, you thought people might picture you living in some sort of terrace or worse, flats. I imagine some northern terrace. Where all they're in exposed to is McDonald's. It's interesting, isn't it? We all have our own class prejudices. You're picturing this person's class prejudice is a northern terrace, whereas I'm picturing Woolwich, but not Woolwich now, Woolwich when it was still bad.
Starting point is 00:03:24 In the past. Yeah. Woolwich was also where the first ever McDonald's in Europe was. So this isn't just me wrecking on Woolwich for the sake of it. I'm picturing like Woolwich in the 70s. My favourite McDonald's is the McDonald's below the Museum of Communism in Prague. I think the Museum of Communism are really enjoying that as well. They really make a big thing of it.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I almost said really dining out on it. And I was like, don't. That's bad. And then I nearly said, you love it? No, don't. No, all food-related puns. Been isolating for 63 days now and apparently all I want to do is make McDonald's puns. That's a symptom. Oh no. But yeah, I want to talk about the one family that's not on the WhatsApp group.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Well, we don't talk about them. We're not going to talk about that. I'm not going to talk about that at all. We have a WhatsApp group that's the whole street, barring one family, L-O-L. I wonder what they did. Do you think they were part of the WhatsApp group and left? Do you think they don't have a phone? I have a friend who doesn't have a smartphone that can take WhatsApp, like just an SMS phone. But the real question here is about the group buy of McDonald's food. Why is there a fight?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah, let's just speculate about what's happening. So from the subject line, we can assume that the neighbours have demanded money for this group buy. So it sounds like the neighbours are all buying McDonald's together. Yeah. Which sounds bad because that doesn't meet the current social distancing guidelines. Unless you're getting the deliveroo guy to stop at each house and just drop off 20 hours. and then he moves his bike a little further along 20 nugs a little furser along nugs nugs nugs nugs and then everyone just stands at the end of their drive clapping while eating nugs yeah mushing the nugs into a paste with their clapping hands oh and then while listening to virulin
Starting point is 00:05:11 eating the chicken off them yeah yeah will mac again sure return of the mac that's what it should have been return of the return up the me that's the mash-up that we need in these dark times If I could have Vera Lynn brought back to life and do one more cover, it would be returning the Mac. Yeah. Feet Vera Lynn. I mean, it sounds to me like everybody involved has got a little too much time on their hands and they're far too invested. That's easy at the moment. If you're doing a group buy of McDonald's, which I argue you shouldn't be, then yeah, everyone should contribute, right?
Starting point is 00:05:46 Unless someone's buying it as a treat, but then they should say, this is a treat. And also, that's a weird treat, isn't it? very domineering treat saying, oh, I bought your McDonald's as a treat, because they're your neighbours, they're not some small children who you see every other weekend. You don't get to decide what the treat is. Yeah, it's not Sunday lunch after church and you're going to McDonald's. Yeah. People on the thread are not impressed. McDonald's isn't food. All right, who said it was? Yeah. No one said it was. Maybe they're buying a load of chips, which they're going to use to play pickup sticks to keep themselves amused during lockdown. Maybe they just
Starting point is 00:06:20 want Happy Meal toys. Yeah, maybe someone's collecting. them and so all the neighbours have to buy a Happy Meal so they can maximise their chances of getting the complete set. Yeah. Do you remember when they changed that? When I was a kid like it was a running thing that I really didn't enjoy McDonald's as a kid. But Happy Meal Toys, great.
Starting point is 00:06:36 But they used to do like one toy every week for four weeks and you get the set and they started just throwing them in at random. Yeah. That was, why would you do that? It was deeply upsetting. Yeah, so you have to buy more. Deeply upsetting. The same principle as Pokemon cards. You don't know what you're going to get in those foil wrappers.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Yeah. And then someone has said, if the WhatsApp group is as vague as the post, I'd say they, that's the family, have had a lucky escape. You just need more details. Like, how can we help you? Even if we'd come here to this mum's net thread to sincerely try to help, which we did not, how would we do that with limited information on offer? I really don't know what they're expecting. I think everyone is struggling a little bit and they probably just wanted to have a bit of event and they can't vent to their husband because he's always, on WhatsApp getting worked up all by himself.
Starting point is 00:07:25 So this person's just come over here. They want a little whinge, but instead everyone's saying, oh, McDonald's isn't food. Maybe they've had McDonald's delivered to people's houses, like a load of Big Macs suddenly arrived, and now the neighbours are asking for money after the fact. Yeah? No one knew these Big Macs were coming, but they're here now.
Starting point is 00:07:43 But they say in the post it's next week. Also, does it take a week to organise getting McDonald's in? If you didn't all do it on the same day, it'd be much easier for you to get things actioned very quickly. All of this McDonald's by committee is inefficient. Rampant inefficiencies. So one poster said, McDonald's isn't food,
Starting point is 00:08:02 and then another came along and said, 100% beef products aren't food. Wow, you learn something new every day. All right, mate. McDonald's isn't going to fuck you. Steve. You have to whiteno for McDonald's. Tell you what is 100% beef.
Starting point is 00:08:17 That WhatsApp group. Yay. Yay. Should we move on? Am I being unreasonable? Have you heard of this scam? I just had a call on my landline from a very long number, and an automated voice said my MasterCard had been used to purchase a 99-pound Amazon gift card, press 1 to cancel the transaction. I just put the phone down, fairly sure it was scammy, but I couldn't find anything about it on Google. Anyone else had this? Wing-wing-wing-wing-wing-wing. Hello? Hello, your MasterCard has been used to purchase a 99. pound amazon gift card press one to cancel the transaction press okay google scam amazon 99 pound 1 transaction cancel automated number long voice google google google google okay google she's activating everyone who's listening to it
Starting point is 00:09:12 over speakers Alexa Long number. I wonder how long the number was. Very long. Very long. Very long. 50 digits? 60. On a landline? Why have you got a fancy landline that shows you who's calling? Don't you know it's 2020? If you want a phone that shows you who's calling, I've got a solution for you. You might be interested to hear about a little thing called mobile phones. People not have mobile phones, like my friend who doesn't have one and has an SMS-only phone. Surely that would accept incoming calls. Surely you could scam them. with this Amazon gift card scam on their... No one does scam, my friend.
Starting point is 00:09:54 On their Nokia 3210. Hello, you have had some McDonald's purchased for you. You owe your neighbour 99 pounds. 99 pounds worth of McDonald's. Buried in nugs. I don't know why you would... Why are you checking with Mumsnet? If it turns out it's not a scam, what are you?
Starting point is 00:10:21 going to do? Yeah. Did you mean to go to money-savingexpert.com? Because that's not this website. From now on, every time I'm slightly uncertain about something, I'm going to start an Am I Being unreasonable thread to make sure that my instinct was correct? Am I being unreasonable? And then, actually, I was about to do a load of things that were a piss take, but the first one I was going to do was about eating really out-of-date food. And I just remembered that one of the threads I rejected for this week was someone who was suggesting eating some nine-day out-of-date sausages. So it seems that people are just using mum's net instead of their instincts. Just eat them. They're fine. Well, I absolutely wouldn't. I ate those nine-day-old guijons the
Starting point is 00:10:58 other day. Yeah, the cursed gujons. I'm fine. Fit as a fiddle. Yeah. I might start phoning you when I see you about to do that and put on an automated voice. Hello, do not eat the gujons? Press one to not eat the gujons. Press two to eat the gujons. You press two. The gujons will kill you. Do you wish to continue? One, one, one. This is a to be a great piece of live art in which you pick up a thing and it's just telling you about some out-of-date gougon's and then there's just a little bucket of gougon's, which are actually in date and you can see whether people eat the gougon's or not. Will they eat the cursed gujons? I think most people would eat a free gougon. I wouldn't. Even if you were told by a robot
Starting point is 00:11:38 that was out of date. I know I would. I'm not going to listen to a robot. Keep me from my Guillaume. I have freedom. Why do people think that doing stuff that's very dangerous for one's health and freedom are exactly the same thing, interchangeable concepts? Give me liberty or give me death. Okay, well, it looks like you're taking both. I just put the phone down. So you put the phone down, move on. It sounds like it's over. It sounds like this experience has ended and you don't need to prolong it by reflecting on it. Someone has posted a link to the Express saying here is a link to a news story, and that sounds like a scam if ever I saw one. Yeah, the URL has a long number in it.
Starting point is 00:12:22 It does. Here is a link to a news story. Would be exactly what the fake newsbots would want you to think. We assume these scammers are human, but what if it is robots? What if it is an artificial intelligence? Well, it says here on another post, it follows the scam script. They have machines calling every number they can buy off of companies and wait for someone to call back after a voicemail or get put through by automation and then proceed to say
Starting point is 00:12:50 whatever they need to get you to transfer money or details. I don't know that the most persuasive argument is that someone has tried to buy a £99 Amazon gift card. I'll do anything to scam you out of money, even tell you that someone's bought this bizarre Amazon gift card. Nonsense. You need to provide your bank details for us to cancel this and your pin. Yeah, and if you fool for that, that's on your own head to some extent. Should we do another thread? Yeah, this is scam. Am I being unreasonable? To think this is the time to become as self-sufficient as possible. Just as the title says, really, anyone else aiming to get more sufficient? Buying some land, living as eco-friendly as possible, growing your own as much as you can,
Starting point is 00:13:30 using local shops that are more eco-friendly too. I'm just starting my journey and I'm so excited. Land slash house bought, just working on the garden and growing all the while being as eco-friendly as I can and buying plastic-free, etc. Is anyone else doing this or wanting to? Any more hints, tips or ideas? Here's an idea that everyone can buy some land. Now's not the time to suggest that we'll buy some land. Yeah, this doesn't strike me as a good time to buy some land. Lots of people are really struggling to pay for the roof over their head. Yeah, just, I would simply buy some land. Oh, well, you could be more self-sufficient if you bought some land. Just buy some land. Just acquire some land. There's some land opposite at our flat. Buy it.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Buy it now. I actually don't need the furlough scheme because I had the foresight to be the land of gentry. I like the landed gentry are all using the furlough scheme anyway. I used my 80% of salary to buy some land. A good use of money. Unlike you fools who pulled it all for a street McDonald's. Press 1 to buy some land. One, one. You have been bought a £99 pound plot of land. Hey! Press 1 to cancel.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Plant some peas. Is this the time to become as self-sufficient as possible? I don't know. I've recently come into possession of a bit of land on an island, deserted island, and I've just been planting like apple trees and cherry trees, pear trees even. I'm pretty much done with that, so I've been breeding rare flowers and selling them to the local store.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And just totally self-sufficient. Yeah, you are. But in your self-sufficiency, you are still in debt? You're not entirely self-sufficient, are you? Because you're actually in debt. To whom are you in debt? The hated nook. There we go.
Starting point is 00:15:22 It's true. It's true. It's still got me by the short and curleys. It is simple animal crossing. A simple animal crossing. This is the smuggest post I've ever seen. A hint-tip or idea, but you have some empathy for the people who cannot buy some land. Not everyone can't buy some land and grow their own and use local shops that are more eco-friendly.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Also, conflating those things is wild. Yeah, like... Going to the greengrocers is all well and good. Great, I love the greengrocers. My first job was in a green grocer. If I'd ever bothered learning to drive, I think I would become a green grocer again. But that's not the same as buying some land. Yeah, self-sufficiency and using local shops that are more eco-friendly are not the same either.
Starting point is 00:16:07 No. Like, if you want to be truly self-sufficient, you need to go live on your land and don't talk to anyone. Yeah, and if you really want to go to the shop, you must simply open a shop and play shop with yourself like a small child. I actually think this is a time to become more community-oriented and less self-sufficient, like work with others, work with mutual aid groups, go in on a big McDonald's, whatever you need to do to get through this time.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, why not buy a 99-pound gift card for someone? Yeah, invest in a McDonald's. When I was in my first year of uni, my friends and I used to describe absolutely everything as an investment. Like, we would definitely say that we were investing in a Wanaburger. It's an investment in the future. I mean, we were investing in our future. Yeah, you're investing in not being hungry anymore. Yeah, we were investing in having some great shoes.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Nom, nom. Nom. I mean, why do they think this is the time to be as self-sufficient as possible? Like, I assume this is coronavirus-related that they believe that we should now be self-sufficient. But being self-sufficient when you might be struck down by a literal plague seems like a very bad move, doesn't it? It's going to be very hard to be self-sufficient all by yourself out there with the rona. Yeah, you need to rely on healthcare workers and key workers. Oh, I've got the rona, and I really could do with, you know, an ICU, but I will not have a ventilator.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I will be self-sufficient in my ability to remain alive. Yeah, I shall make my own medicine from some weeds and a wasp nest. It's Animal Crossing It's Animal Crossing, but it's also quite a large subset of the aforementioned aunts on Facebook The Essential Oils people I've been stung by a wasp And I haven't got Rihanna
Starting point is 00:17:52 The Curries Wasps Eat Wasps I haven't had the raining yet And I've never been stung by a wasp So This proves it Yeah I've been stung by a B once
Starting point is 00:18:01 It's done me right on the boob Wonderful Yeah It got somehow caught up in my top and then it panics and it stung me. I got a bee in my shorts when we were driving to Meadowhall one summery day. So I took off my shorts in the car in a fit of panic. Then we had to pull into it, McDonald's, where we could evacuate the shorts of the bee. I could put them back on. Did you have to walk through McDonald's in just your pants?
Starting point is 00:18:29 No, dad went to do it for me. He was good like that. I'm picturing you walking through McDonald's waving shorts around like a white flag. surrendering to the bee in just your pants. For one thing, we pulled into the McDonald's. Dad didn't go into the McDonald's to release the bee to cause a panic in McDonald's. He just did it in the car park. Release the bees!
Starting point is 00:18:50 Bees! There's bees in the nugs. I don't know. I haven't been into McDonald's in probably over a decade. Neither did he. We're just in the car park and he released the bee into its natural environment the McDonald's car park. Okay, fine. Then I put my shorts on and we continued our journey to chef. Meadowhall. Great.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Why are you going to Sheffield Meadow Hall? Isn't that shopping centre? Yeah, it's the treat. It seems like such a long way to go to go to a shopping centre. Going to Meadow Hall was a treat. Okay. I think this was before they built the Trafford Centre. That makes...
Starting point is 00:19:21 Or maybe after, because Meadow Hall's better. Okay. Is this first responder, you? The first person... Keep saying first responder. The emergency mums at first responders. I think this is the time to think about how we can change our socio-economic. system from an imperious white supremacist
Starting point is 00:19:38 capitalist patriarchy in something more suitable for people and other creatures inhabiting the planet and not to indulge in privileged middle class fantasies. It's just weird to see a mum's net are talking about white supremacy and capitalist patriarchy. Like great, fantastic. It just doesn't seem like the demographic we usually read.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yeah, and then the second part of this says unless you also provide medical care, education, building services, transportation, clothing, etc. for your family, you're not self-sufficient. Is this poster that's someone who listens to this podcast? Like, what's going on? Yeah. We encourage people to go to Mumsnet to fetch us friends and then suggest us to them to us on Twitter. Not to join in. Don't join in. I mean, you're welcome to join
Starting point is 00:20:17 in if you're going to join in like this. I just worry about how much of a slippery slope it is. I worry that you start off and you're joining in like this and next thing you're telling everyone how fancy your house is. Slacking off some neighbour for doing something absolutely fine. Painting your mother-in-law to be the devil because you once had a very small disagreement about a Victoria sponge and now she's not allowed to see any of your family. I'm getting worried about some long numbers. Nonsense. Buy a plot of land where and what with?
Starting point is 00:20:44 Should my parents grow their own in a Victorian mid-terrest with a yard just bigger than a wheelie bin? What about people in flats and people with disabilities? We're lucky to live where we live and have lots of shops. Many areas maybe have one corner shop or a small expensive convenience store. I'm glad this works for you, but it's not going to be the good life for everyone. Well, yeah, that's true. Yeah, you can't just buy some land. And is expensive.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And also, what if you don't want to be self-sufficient? Like, I have lots of things that I really miss doing and things that I love doing that it's not that easy to do at the moment. And when all of this ends, the last thing I want to do is I have to dedicate all my time to growing marrows. I don't even really want, but I've got to grow my marrows because it's marrow season and I'm self-sufficient, so we're having marrow soup for the next month. Yeah. I'd rather have joy in my life. I'd have to grow my own trees and then cut them down. to make envelopes because I can't go to W.H. Smiths anymore because I need to be self-sufficient.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I have a letter to send. So I need to grow this tree. You can't send a letter. The postal service isn't... Oh, beans, you're right. But you also can't use the internet because someone else is providing that service. No, well, let's have to walk. Not along roads, because they have publicly provided. Yeah. Across the fields and dells. But those will be owned by other people in some instances.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Oh, beans. So you might need to form some sort of cooperative. But then that's no longer self-sufficient. Temporative's one for each field across. Yeah, sure. I mean, this sounds like a great and relaxing way to live. Someone said, it's something we've been thinking about. We don't have access to any land except our small garden.
Starting point is 00:22:22 We'd love for some people to share some advice. Not on this form. So the O.P. came back in response to the person who said, you know, but what about medical care? They said, well, I do pay for private health care. Paying for private health care does not make you self-sufficient? You're part of the problem. What are you on about? You absolute fool.
Starting point is 00:22:44 No, this is terrible. Let's do another thread. We'll do one more thread, then we'll call it a day. Yeah, I'm sure this will be a nice, normal thread. Am I being unreasonable? Vampires are crap. Is there anything that can't be used to defeat a vampire? Sunlight, garlic, crosses, Holy Water, steaks, fire, cutting off their head. also works on those living statue people
Starting point is 00:23:04 and blessed bullets and they only enter houses after being invited in they don't have reflections if you're going to be chased you can drop some salt and they have to stop and count the grains surely the most rubbish of all of the monsters they also can't cross moving water like a river vampires are crap
Starting point is 00:23:20 truly vampires are crap it sounds like vampires are crap eternal overlords of the night of course but crap nonetheless I really admire this poster I really admire this poster I really admire it that one evening, one Wednesday evening, they were just minding their business and they were like, you know what's crap, vampires are crap.
Starting point is 00:23:39 And either they're isolating alone or all the people there with just didn't want to engage. They were like, fine, they just went on Mumset. Vampires are crap. It's all right, I've posted it to Mumset now. I don't need you. Don't need to hear about it. You're crap.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Yeah. I don't know why everyone was so jazzed about the Slayer. We can all be Slayers. Yeah. Just get some garlic. Garlic also kills cats. Our cats, vampires? No, cats like sunlight.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Oh. The rest is also bad for cats. Hmm. Well, maybe not crosses. Poor holy water. You know that if we had access to some holy water, Leon would have his face right in there. And cats do just go into places without being invited in. Very much so.
Starting point is 00:24:19 And they have reflections. Maybe cats aren't vampires. Fine. It was just a nice idea for a moment. Remember that bit in, there's a bit in Bramstoker's Dracula, where Dracula becomes a giant dog, and then he never does it again. I just went to prove that I could make. It just becomes a giant dog and then it never comes up again and it never comes up in any other vampire lot.
Starting point is 00:24:38 But we had the opposite thing, right? So we watched Twilight recent. We had the opposite in that we cannot be killed by Sunlight Garlic Crossets Only Water Stakes by cutting off heads and bullets. No, I can be killed by bullets and going off my head. I need to edit that out because that gives away my weaknesses.
Starting point is 00:24:57 No, we had the opposite thing where we watched Twilight recently and I was like, well, these vampires are great, like, they're unkillable. They can go in sunlight, they don't seem to care about crosses, they have reflections. Yeah. These vampires are great. And so I was really pissed off at the end. Spoilers for Twilight, a like 10-year-old movie. Yeah, spoilers for the first part of Twilight, not even the whole saga.
Starting point is 00:25:19 No, just the first one. But, yeah, like, I was really annoyed that Robert Pattinson didn't make Kristen Stewart a vampire at the end. Because, like, why not? It seemed great. Yeah, there were no disadvantages. You can run really quick and, like, climb trees. Yeah. And so how being a vampire means that you can just openly lie to someone
Starting point is 00:25:37 and they just, I don't know, out of exasperation or whatever, they're just like, okay, fine, I know what I saw. Like, no, you don't. You don't know what you saw, you didn't see anything. Like, no, I know what I saw. You didn't. Oh, okay, fine. What are you on about?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Be on about. Yeah, and maybe there's some bad smells, but there's bad smells for humans. Like, things get wiffy for humans too. Sure. So Twilight vampires, great. These vampires, these traditional vampires, bat easily defeated. So the first comment on here says, not in twilight, they're not, they're pretty invincible.
Starting point is 00:26:06 There you go. But I think there's a lot of monsters that actually have very many weaknesses. I also, if you saw a vampire, you might be so of fears that you wouldn't have your wits about you enough to do any of these things. I don't carry salt on my person, so I couldn't throw it down. Oh, back when we worked in offices, I always used to have those little sachets of salt that you get from like preck kicking around in my pockets.
