Crackers you've read on MN

Just a bit of fun. I've read some really awful threads on MN, then there in the comments is that poster that says something hilarious. I've got a few stored in my head.

In relation to a cheat going to the OW - "they think the grass is greener on the other side because it's covered in bullshit'

A post about partner being friends with the opposite sex, someone told a story of their other half getting 'mentionitis' about another woman who turned out to be cheating

And my favourite, a poster had took back a guy after a few break ups to which someone responded 'that's like fishing shite out the toilet- just flush'.

Anybody else got comments stuck in their mind for any future reference that fits or just me Grin

@FlouncerInDenial you're not the recipient of the comment 'it's not an airport. You don't have to announce your departure' are you? Just wondered if your username is the link to the sour grapes?

"A horrendously short pixie crop that I inexplicably had dyed orange. I looked like a fat match."

🤣🤣 and the Colonel Gadaffi comment.

I often find some of the crazy opinions memorable eg milk & bread aren't essential. Another poster said teens & young people were selfish to get weekend jobs in this climate as it's taking them away from families who need them more.

A post I remember is one where Gregg Wallace was described as looking "like a thumb"

I remember this, it's perfect he really does.

Andylion · 26/11/2020 04:29

I also remember, "If I had a turd in one hand and bottle of polish in the other, I couldn't give a shiney shite".

Andylion · 26/11/2020 04:28

When my friend was recovering from surgery, I amused her by emailing her the best phrases from MN.
Sadly I can only find one email, with these gems?
.

My mum once described Henry Kissinger as looking like "a hatful of bums”

You have a handle on the side of your head, love.

@BrandoraPaithwaite

In a thread about people's DHs and DPs farting habits. Someone said her DH would fart on the dog's head and say "that'll give you a parting".
That is fabulous Grin
BasiliskStare · 26/11/2020 04:23

I shan't lightly forget the poster who accidentally creosoted a pigeon

GailsPlait · 26/11/2020 04:16

'Otherwise you're just a bit sad' is my favourite thing anyone has ever said on a MN thread. I picture the poster to be like the mean woman (Nicola) who came to replace Tony in Dinnerladies.

Manzana · 26/11/2020 03:45

can't remember the topic but I liked this descriptive quote someone used "face like a bulldog licking piss off a stinging nettle"

DeeCeeCherry · 26/11/2020 03:26

The one where OP put on a leather (leopard?) jacket felt cool & edgy. Then looked in mirror and saw "Suzie Quattro's mum"...

(Can't quite recall but along those lines)

BasiliskStare · 26/11/2020 03:14

@LunaNorth - brilliant - my son & I have laughed like drains about that for quite a long time.

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 26/11/2020 02:58

@FlouncerInDenial

If anyone is sad it is you. Seriously I'm cringing for YOU with those posts Hmm

SonjaHeniesTutu · 26/11/2020 02:58

Just to weigh in on the previous argument, from the sex in the hedge thread:

@GinaCarbonara much like the hedgehogs I've never heard a fox ask for a finger in the bum... 🦊

Hedgehogs AND foxes both get a mention, horny bastards. HTHGrin

Badadabing · 26/11/2020 02:47

Nee nah - nee nah - nee nah

Update: the fun police have left the thread, apparently on another MN thread someone has used the wrong abbreviation in a funny story about their step sisters new puppy and a a bag of Wotsits.GrinWinkGrin

Magicsprinkles · 26/11/2020 02:41

Husband says whoever is doing it is very childish. But he’s a poopoo head so what would he know.
From the parking thread- just followed the link, very funny!

SonjaHeniesTutu · 26/11/2020 02:36

Cancel the cheque! (another bride from hell thread, I think that one even had a poem ) I think it was a Tidydancer thread.

And

Fuck off to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more -- I love that one, I think it in my head oftenGrin. Don't seem to see it on here much anymoreSad

And yes, the EKL and AuntyTantrumsandBalloons for the sweeter side of MN.

Margie70 · 26/11/2020 02:08

@Cattenberg

I liked the one where a MNer was out and saw her parents driving past. When they saw her, they smiled and made a wanking gesture at her.

It turned out they had a neighbour who didn’t like them and who made this gesture at them. The parents were oblivious to his dislike and thought it was a new way of waving hello. So they’d drive around merrily making wanking gestures at everyone they knew.

It’s 2 in the morning and I’m howling at this! Great thread! I managed to mainly maintain my composure (struggled with the Fox story, lost it a bit with the match, and the patio with aspirations) but I am done for now!

I'm ON the sex noises in the hedge thread

Aah c’mon, that’s way cringier than getting an animal wrong.

grassisjeweled · 26/11/2020 01:48

A recent one on the Facebook Twee Village group thread or whatever said 'Neighbourhood Watch have mobilised' in regards to excessive pigeons or something in the village

Really made me chuckle

grassisjeweled · 26/11/2020 01:45

'I'd only kick him out of bed to fuck him on the floor'

ShockGrin

And no doubt it's been mentioned but 'she's a cunt for the butter'

So raw

GlummyMcGlummerson · 26/11/2020 01:44

And it's DEFINITELY sad to get an animal name wrong. Over reacting and huffily posting like it matters isn't sad though, no sir-ee Bob. I mean you've practically misquoted the bible FFS.
