What threads have you seen on here that have lodged themselves into your brain?

For me it's the lady who was gifted a periscope by her dh which was completely random and hilarious.

Also the lady who upset a crow and never came back! Assumed she and her dog were eaten by the crows.

claires mum, was that the one where she ended up getting back in contact with a long lost cousin or similar? Or am I getting mixed up.

the lady who was away at uni and her mum had mental health problems and dementia or similar I think and she was very stressed and absolutely torn and not sure what to do.

i also think there was a thread about a lady and her daughter, and there was bullying or issues in the area they were in and they ended up moving to Northumberland or similar, and I think it ended up working out well.

I could be misremembering these.

The woman who has a large pond with wildlife and has ducks that come to lay eggs every year. One of the was called Eggwina IIRC.
It was such a lovely thread and I loved looking at the pictures of the babies growing!

Please could someone link to the foster carer/premmie baby story? I can’t seem to find in classics.

I’m only up to this page (6) and someone might have helped by now but her name was Earthmotheriamnot. Thank you pp I knew she had earth mother in her name but not the exact name.

Tilly and her doggy and then her threads on the Cancer Boards

Claire’s mum. Was it a troll?

And Candy, OFC. Could never forget Candy. Absolutely inimitable.

Sad one … star spangled blue

David and Caroline. He was an unbelievable predator on here. Lowest of the low.

Yes that was absolutely awful. I hope it persuaded at least a few women to get out of bad marriages while they still had time. I hope her son has input from adults beside his revolting father.

Also Biscuits & Bandages. She was so straightforward and her horror of leaving her children was palpable. I hope her DH & DC are doing okay.

The one with the phantom shitter in the office. It was the first thread I ever read on Mumsnet and I was hooked and read the entire thing from start to finish.

@NeverMindTheBackProblems

Thank you 😂

What about the one with spangran, Ken from the off licence. I think it was taken down in the end for being a troll but it went on for days

Think most of these getting mentioned on this thread were trolls.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 28/08/2024 00:58

Just had one of those silent giggles reading pp re Your minge! I remember that one! 🤣

One from at least 5 years ago, I think, was posted by a guy saying something like, My neighbour's cat hates me. Apparently the cat freaked out every time he left his house and he tried changing his appearance or something like that to appease the cat after the owner told him the cat didn't like his glasses. I'm not remembering/explaining it well, but god it was hilarious.

There was a bonkers one years and years ago about someone ‘rescuing’ a guillemot from the beach and taking it on the train to be returned to the zoo.

It popped into my head the other day when someone near me on the train mentioned a penguin, and I couldn’t stop laughing to myself

CinnamonJellyBeans · 28/08/2024 00:56

Penetration man for the funniest thread.

Best phrase ever on mumsnet: "Suzie Quattro's fat nan". Makes me snort with laughter and I haven't been able to wear a leather jacket since reading it.

PUNCH THE CAKE. PUNCH IT.

This one. Glad it is not just me 😂

JohnTheRevelator · 28/08/2024 00:47

A quite recent one - 'AIBU to share this insane life hack?' I don't think I've laughed so much in a long time.

Was that the Ford Ranger one with OP's extremely-eligible brother - and Buckaroo with Bruce Grobelaar?!

Show quote history

OMG yes! The brother! How could I forget him! I think everyone was trying to get the Op to hook them up with him. He sounded lovely. I cried with laughter at that thread.

Solent123 · 28/08/2024 00:41

plus Fluffydressinggown's mental health threads - all the support in the world couldn't save her.

JulianAssangesCat · 28/08/2024 00:40

The thread about the poor woman whose TRA “friend” insisted that the OP was intersex due to her PCOS has stayed with me. Utter captured nonsense and so upsetting for the OP.

I remember a thread from a very ill lady. She lived abroad and separated from her partner, but he had a new partner and they all lived together i think. She was very ill and didnt have long left. Name was 5yearsleft or something like that. I wonder how she is. Her partner was awful to her.

She is still here, plus she posts on Instagram.

There was a fantastic parking one maybe a couple of years ago that went on all weekend. I think the poster lived in quite a rural location and someone had parked and gone off for a walk blocking her (and her horsebox???) in. Sounds dull in the retelling but it got more and more mysterious and complex and I ended up sitting up with a glass of wine enjoying myself tremendously as more updates came in. I think there were diagrams and everything.
