Threads that have stayed with you

I remember a fairly recent thread about a woman with a very controlling husband who was going mad because she had responded to the gardener with the incorrect emoji. It then transpired he controlled her clothing, who she spoke to. She was then going to leave him and I don't know if she updated the thread, I cannot seem to find it. I've been thinking about her for the last couple of weeks

Poster such as Marmalade Twatkins and Cupcakes and Bunting always made me laugh. Wasn’t there a funny story about a lemon drizzle cake at a village fete once? (Hoping someone with a better memory can recall it!)

I read the Sistine chapel and while I know its mumsnet so possibly just someone being weird I have recently discovered there is a mental health condition that can cause it.

Stendhal Syndrome - a psychosomatic condition causing rapid heart beat, crying, panic, sweating, confusion, fainting and even hallucinations when exposed to art or items of beauty.

Its believed to be a variant of a panic attacks and while rare in general day to day life it is very commonly occurring at famous art sites like the Mona Lisa, David and the Sistine Chapel.

OMG the suzi quattro's fat nan thread. I found it again a year or so ago and cried with laughter at it all over again.

If it's the same one I'm thinking about she did update not too long ago and they were very happy and settled!

The one a year or so ago where a women’s cat was shut in the empty house next door. She pushed fish sticks through the letter box to it. 😂

Red tooth brush for me
Mexican house thief

france one where the husband fucked off to and came back thinking all was well but his wife was/is leaving him but she’s left the thread now and I wish her well.
penis beaker 🤮

Savernake Forest!

Riven and her disabled DD. That has always stayed with me.

Also, on a lighter note, the pregnant woman who went swimming with her DH but forgot to put her bikini bottoms on..... "I can see your minge!!" So, so funny.

The woman last year who escaped DV and was on a bus to a little flat I think in Scotland with her 2 DC. She posted little things she noticed and did and you could feel the incredible sense of freedom and wonder she had. The joy at being safe. I still think of ner now and then and hope she and her children are thriving.

How can i find the classics thread please? I'd love to see what threads are on there.

That was a rip off of Alexander Mccall Smith book.

To those who posted the link. Thank you. I'm crying.
We went to the Sistine Chappell the day after and I ended up screaming at the MichaelAngelo. A number of tourists tried to console me but DH just walked off muttering "for fucks sake".

Same here, I hope they’re ok.

Me too it kept being resurrected even after her daughter updated she had passed away.😪

I remember one from a few years ago about a woman asking if she was being unreasonable for leaving her abusive (physically and abusive) husband during lockdown. She was worried she would get picked up by the police due to restrictions that were put in place. Last I heard, she'd made it safely to her sister's house in London. Think she left while she had a window of opportunity where he was a the gym or out for a run or something.

I wonder how she's getting on these days...

Yes, that was priceless! 👌

Two that haven't been mentioned and were from a while back.

I need witnesses for my wedding. Two Mumsnetters attended https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/mumsnet_classics/1329673-Could-anyone-help-me-out-on-Friday-morning-need-witnesses-for-my-wedding

Do you have a zombie plan?

Finally there was one, where someone was going on a blind date, but decided not to go and another MNer went along to the zoo to see what he looked like.

Not very profound but it's 'snapped and farted' for me. I was reading it in my car waiting to do the school run and it made me cackle so much I was crying. It was just what I needed at the time to cheer me up.

Yes! It was so scary because someone else from the same area had seen it too! Thanks for linking it, I've reread the whole thread. It actually gave me goosebumps again!

Thank you, I hadn’t quite caught up on the thread but this is incredible that she has responded - amazing

I hated Pom Bears, Supershooters, penis beaker etc - found them super cliquey and not that funny.

I always remember the woman who washed her potatoes in the dishwasher

More recently, was completely outraged by the mean cow who wouldn't leave a tip on a £200+ restaurant bill

.

I came on to say you, you were and are incredible. Your username stuck with me as it was your symbolic independent act! I hope you are well and think of you often.

It’s been mentioned a couple of times already but Sobsanta’s thread about her 2yo daughter who died in her sleep after being diagnosed with tonsillitis in A&E the night before. I think of her so often. It was just one of the saddest and most shocking things I’d read on here. My heart hurts just thinking about their pain.

She relinquished her anonymity to talk about her - her name was Wyatt Rose.
