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.

Could someone either link or explain the penis beaker thread? I've seen it mentioned on here over the years but couldn't find it after a search and it's intriguing me as it's been mentioned so many times on here

It went viral several years ago and a new influx of people discovered MN

There was a poster called MyOtherCarisaPorsche whose husband had a serious life threatening heart condition or a burst aneurysm. He was in hospital but had to be transferred urgently and he might die during the transfer. She was getting no answers about his treatment and worried sick. One of the posters was a thoracic surgeon who knew the hospital her husband was at and basically told her who to phone and what to do.

The thread continued and her DH ended up serving but had a complete personality change due to the trauma he'd been though. The poor women was also prividing daily chikdcare for her disabled grandchildren and trying to look after her own health and her husband.

Thoracic surgeon poster really helped her with medical advice but her family life was falling apart as her DH was just becoming unbearable and more and more bizarre with his spending habits snd strange hobbies.

I don't know what happened to her, she sounded wonderful but totally taken advantage of.

I'm "fairly" new, but the thread by the lady
whose partner "threw table and chairs" when asked to do his fair share at home.
This was shocking to me, and I'm neither young nor naive.
Hopefully she managed to get rid of that arsehole out of her life.

A thread earler this year about an allotment purchased with a property. The buyers were trying to evict a woman who was not cooperative at all. I always wondered what the outcome was.

I think of the unresolved toilet paper rationing thread often. Who was it????

One from ages ago where the OP was being horribly horribly gaslit ans abuse by the husband and was slowly coming to the realisation that he was hideous. He would do awful things like keep her up all night after she had to breastfeed their baby, making her have sex with him and not letting her 'finish' until he said. It was really frightened me and I hope she managed to get the fuck away from him.

Askingforafriendtoday · 29/08/2024 20:10

35 weeks pregnant, how to put baby up for adoption one... she was terrified how she'd manage, fantastic, calming advice given re both options, she kept the baby and seemed to be coping well

Clocksgobackautumngirl · 29/08/2024 20:09

Mine was the woman whose husband was driving her potty about Glastonbury - the lineup, the secret acts, how commercial it is now. Even though he hadn’t been for years. Did he go this year?????

strawberrysalsa · 29/08/2024 20:07

I still remember the thread about the couple who had an acquaintance invite themselves to stay in spite of getting a firm 'no'. The acquaintance still turned up and lots of fun ensued including discussions of siege equipment to fend her off.

WaneyEdge · 29/08/2024 19:55

I can’t remember the names of posters. I recently NCd but been here a while.

One where OP was being filmed in the house and she and her DS left and then found out her DP wasn’t who he said he was.

Another where the OP found a mobile on their remote, rural garden. Police came for it I think but no further updates (that I remember).

FizzingAda · 29/08/2024 19:47

Yikes! I,ve just read the link to the OP Savernake one, that is really scary 😱.

Ones that made me laugh - one where the electrician was having an affair in the OPs house, the one where the OP had neighbours who were trying to steel the end of his garden and the first one I read about a lady who wanted tips of how to get poo out of the cracks of her floorboards

Ah I'd forgotten about the electrician! Wasn't the OP suspicious about what she'd seen on the Ring doorbell?

pomers · 29/08/2024 19:26

The one who was trying to persuade her partner’s girlfriend that she was unreasonable for not getting rid of her dog so that boyfriend could have her home to have his children 50/50 and so she could basically pay off his debts

WeGoChai · 29/08/2024 19:23

The threads by Fifyfomum how sorry I felt for the children but Karma has been served as they started posting antisemitic things on what was then Twitter and has to appear in court next week

Do you remember the puppy sitting one ? The puppy escaped in the night and the lady followed it out it to a dark woods to be met with a voice telling her to turn back and she described a wall of black that the torch bounced back on . My sat nav diverted me onto a single lane track through a woods at 1am in the morning ( cheers dartford tunnel ) and I was almost about to have a panic attack as that's all I could think of , I've never been so relived to see the motorway

That’s the Savernake forest one!!! Omg it’s so creepy! (Posted too soon in my excitement).

whitefiligree · 29/08/2024 19:13

I haven’t RTFT but a recent one where the woman was the OW, convinced her affair partner was going to leave his wife in the next year, that they had something special together. The man had a young son.

AlwaysConfuseddd · 29/08/2024 19:11

There was a thread maybe a year ago of a woman in an abusive relationship and her wedding was in a few days, she was unsure if she wanted to get married or not, I hope she's okay.

The one that haunts me & that I think about the most is the thread by Purple Lampshades - such an awful situation for her and her son and how manipulation can so easily affect any of us. I'm so hoping to read some good news ftom her soon. Thinking of Purple often.

This one for me too. It's so devastating and heart breaking. I won't settle until I know that her son is out of that horrendous relationship and home safely with her.

PaininthePreferbial · 29/08/2024 18:39

There was an OP that said something along the lines of "Bloke here, I can help you with your computer problems" and one of the replies was "Thank God you're here, I've just been bashing my tits off the keyboard and hoping for the best".

😂😂😂

Here it is! Enjoy

One recently the ops son came home from his dad’s to say that the ex, new wife and kids were moving to Australia. It was heartbreaking. I wonder how things are working out
