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.

The Voldemutt one was MN gold!

Giraffesareawesome · 27/08/2024 23:15

I think of Pamela too & Claire. Claire’s mum was accused of being a troll but then someone posted the death notice for her daughter. The thread & the way it was written with such regular updates was a little unusual & some posters noticed inconsistencies. The whole thing was a little odd but I do find myself thinking about it.

On a lighter note there have been some funny food threads, I liked the one where the OP was shocked her sons (I think) had eaten a lot of the mince she had cooked. Lots of competitive undereaters on that thread! And the thread about someone trying to take credit for a cream tea hamper & the OP wondering how to deal with it.

I think it's probably still in classics somewhere but there was a thread of reasons people had broken up with girlfriends/boyfriends and it was so funny (things like the date showing up in a leather, fringed jacket or wearing ridiculously ugly shoes, or kissing like they were trying to eat the other person 😂). I try to only remember the funny threads I've come across as there can be some incredibly sad/upsetting ones too.

Just searched for the Savernake Forest but it came back empty - how do I find the link?

Mypuppyismad · 27/08/2024 22:38

Oh and also the spooky thread where the man was in the nightclub years later looking exactly the same.

Oooh what was this one?

Louise303 · 27/08/2024 23:14

The thread from a lady who's hubby workmate took a photo of her while working nearby.

dicdicnurse · 27/08/2024 23:12

I recently went to the Sistine Chapel and all I could think about was that post.
I was very disappointed to find my visit so underwhelming

RabbitsRock · 27/08/2024 23:12

Another vote for Savernake Forest. Love a woo thread but always end up regretting reading them late at night!

ReadingWorm · 27/08/2024 23:09

Snapped and farted.

I also think about the poor women who
endured a pile on when she asked an AIBU over what time she should have left her home on the day the new owners were moving in. It was up all weekend before MN finally took it down.

soonandsoforth · 27/08/2024 23:07

Also the Savernake forest thread 😱

I was going to say this too. It was so creepy. It was well written though. That poster should write a book.

OldCrocks · 27/08/2024 23:07

Oh yes, the foster mum's thread was heartbreaking.

But the poster who pops into my head every now and again was called something like GoJettersGirl, whose in-laws were completely awful while her very young son was dying. She posted so bravely and was generous enough to update the thread after he died. I've never forgotten her and hope so much that life has been kinder to her since.

LouLou198 · 27/08/2024 23:07

I can't remember the full story but the OP had bought this strange looking rook as a gift for a teacher! I hope it's in classics so I can try and find it.

JurrassicSnark · 27/08/2024 23:06

Is someone able to provide a link to the Pamela thread?

Education79 · 27/08/2024 23:06

mommatoone · 27/08/2024 22:59

Another one that remembers Pamela. Such a brave lady, heartbreaking to read her journey.

Likewise, and the particularly odd way it all ended with someone pretending to be her husband and announcing she had died (which sadly she had) but it wasn't him - he then had to come on and explain the other guy wasn't him - that was just bizarre and a very cruel thing of someone to do.

The one where a lady who was secretly planning her escape and had bought somewhere and it was nearly completing. I was really cheering her on. You could here the relief in her posts. Hope she found her happy freedom.

Was that the one who was supposed to complete the sale on Easter Monday...

Penis beaker! How could I forget that 😆

And a girl who had given birth as a young teen and given up the baby. I often think of her as she said the baby would now be the age she was at the time.

strawberryandtomato · 27/08/2024 23:04

SillyMooMoos · 27/08/2024 22:33

Lady who was fostering a preemie baby who was born addicted to drugs. Really humbling thread.

I'm glad it wasn't just me. Always remembered this. She died of cancer in the end didn't she. Her threads were moved to classics. Never forgot

Dancingqueen90 · 27/08/2024 23:04

TheSilentSister · 27/08/2024 23:03

I've seen many over the year but 'Squirrels' and 'Allotment Wars' spring to mind.

HyggeTygge · 27/08/2024 23:03

Some of the ones I remember were not very dramatic or posted often but were just sad. Lobster Boy, and a lady who had a car crash and discovered her husband was cheating (think the husband was injured).

Pamela, Wyatt, Joseph and EMIN of course.

Sulking husbands left right and centre but mainly jamais and another one who deleted all her threads, but the husband was so rubbish he didn't even know what school the kids went to.

Rubberducksallround · 27/08/2024 23:01

The Someone Must Be Able to Do Something thread
It's on to it's third thread, I've still never commented but I think about that woman and hope her son is safe at least once a week. Really hoping she has good news soon

SnotbagAndTshirt · 27/08/2024 23:00

The one where OP’s husband was obsessed with Goldie Hawn. His parents were obsessed with her too and had some kind of shrine dedicated to her. Op was forced to watch Goldie Hawn films against her wishes 😂
