Threads that have stayed with you

The Savernake forest one! That haunts me, especially at night, when I'm trying to get to sleep 😬

Poo crumbs

There was one where a woman was complaining that she was hurt by the safety bar on a ride being closed too firmly, something along those lines, but the reason I remember it was because of one posters hilarious response of “they are just teenagers trying to do their job, they have to make sure the safety bars are in place properly, they haven’t got time to gently ask each passenger if their boobs are ok” 😂😂😂😂😂😝. That’s obviously not an exact quote, but it still makes me laugh, it definitely entered my mind a couple of time this summer on a visit to Alton Towers.

*music

Oh yes I forgot the reason the music box thread was deleted! You are right about them saying something was going on behind the scenes which meant it had to be taken down.. this just intrigued me more. What in earth was happening? Please come back spooky garden misoc lady and let us know.

Found the nightclub one

Birdie friend and the creepy music in the garden threads (the music one had recordings linked to it-then a peculiar msg from mumsnet about having to delete the thread because of things going on behind the scene or something.
Stuff like that sticks in my mind the most as it's mysterious and unresolved.
Plus I never understand after such threads the OP never comes back with a update!(probably cus it is a load of made up bullshit!!!)

Need to read about this sinister night clubber

Just thought of another recent one. A woman who was partially sighted and clearly having a mental health crisis in her pregnancy. She kept talking about putting her son into care if there were relationship problems.

I felt really worried about her and her son and I hope she spoke to her midwife and got the help they both needed.

Oh that was recent! What happened in the end - air tag one?

Oh yeah! I remember the spongy friends one 🤣.

Also there was one where the husband and children went to his parents for Christmas, and left the wife home alone 🥺

Deleted threads which started out about petty revenge but became absolutely batshit with some Mnetters having been stalkers and committing various criminal offences or just doing nasty, nasty things which they thought were justified and often thought were funny. Eye-opening.

Deleted thread about the frequent covert scam threads where posters were asked if they'd ever given money to a stranger on MN and many had given huge amounts of money and frequent grocery deliveries etc. They said they'd rather be conned than ignore someone who might be in need but ignored the fact that caused an ongoing problem on MN.

A thread about a DP getting drunk and drawing a sunflower around his DDs bellybutton. He thought it was cute, the OP didn't, but it descended into a mad bun fight about how it was child abuse, the OP needed to leave immediately and call the Police and CYPSS and one poster was relentless about the DP almost certainly being a paedophile SA the DD and also using the DD for CSAM on the dark web.

All the threads which are very likely made-up but go on for multiple threads with increasing drama and over-invested MNetters not being able to sleep because the OP hasn't posted for a day or two and they want MNHQ to intervene and do welfare checks.

A mum of two little girls who put them up for adoption because of her mental health. Even the judge had said the system had let her down and she was a good mum. Same age as my daughters . I wept reading her posts.

many stick but i found the one where the poster had lost an ironing board somewhere in their flat! beyond belief

I found Pamela’s threads last night. I was in absolute bits. Mumsnet always has that element of members being strangers. At times, almost not real and you can keep posters and threads at arms length. Then there is Pamela and Kerr and Jacob. I’ll think of you often.

The dolphins one made me laugh so much.
Does anyone remember a post, maybe in a thread about weird things you’ve seen, where the poster was on a train watching a man eat his way through a block of lard?

Many that have been mentioned, plus Kate and the girls from way back.

The funniest for me was a thread that started with the OP ranting about Dolphins being bastards. Classic MN humour.

And the OP (LisaLisa?) who somehow mixed up her dirty knickers with whatever she had actually meant to pack for her son to present in a ‘show and tell’..,

I'm really glad to hear you're doing well! Keep going

Expat and her daughter Ailidh's illness and death.

That was so sad 😓

@leopardski I've probably missed detail but my recall of the nightclub man was that a poster went to nightclub (Southend in Essex possibly?) and there was a man near the bar with distinctive clothing staring at her in a menacing way. He stood out because his clothes were from a different era (I think 70's). She was glad to get away. Years later she had to go back to the same building via work and there he was, in the same clothes, standing staring at her. I don't think it was a standalone thread, it was within a "woo" thread but it's often brought up here.

the MIL that gave her DIL's omelette to her son

PurpleLampshades and Pamela.

One from relationships board, stuckinpollyannamode, her leaving and subsequent divorce from Geller. It was great to see her and her girls lives blossoming after she left. Wonderful writing style and sharing the bumps and laughs along the way

I remember a thread where people were going into a shop to buy a black plastic bird and the shop assistant was very confused. It was hilarious. I’ve tried to find it some but think I made it up in my head as it’s not there.

The lady that had been in a terrible relationship. She’d left and came back last year to say she’d been living in a caravan but all was now ok. I think of her often. I hope she’s ok.

I was over invested in the missing glasses thread. I wonder if they’re all still friends?
