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

There was such a funny thread recently about looking awful in zoom work calls - one poster said her face looked like a “blancmange in a plastic bag” which made me laugh so much!

JamieFrasersSwingingKilt · 26/11/2020 22:47

I'm sure I recall a thread on interview screw ups - or something similar. A poster told a story of interviewing well, standing up, shaking the interviewers' hands and opening a door to leave - and then walking straight into a cupboard and not sure how best to style it out to get out of the cupboard!

User258544 · 26/11/2020 22:34

The one where the poster allowed her teenage DC to have friends round and the rule was they could have one beer or something but some of them were requesting a spirit or wine and she was asking AIBU to refuse. Oh god the derailing about should they be allowed to drink and god knows what else was going on and she patiently explained the very clear rules again and again.

MrsMarrio · 26/11/2020 22:31

And the yoni massage one! Jesus I knew there was some weirdos out there but fishing for a vag grab on MN. However the replies have made me howl!

Oh thank you for that, I've been laughing out loud all through it. Grin Never laughed so much at a thread. Thoroughly recommended. Grin

LunaNorth · 26/11/2020 22:17

‘UCM, is that you?’

ShellsandSand · 26/11/2020 22:05

I remember reading about a poster who thought she had name changed for a gynae related thread. To avoid embarrassment I suppose. Only the name change had failed and the first poster put 'name is that you?' I howled for about an hour. Someone will remember the particular details of that thread properly I'm sure, but don't you dare come at me over it. Twats.

LunaNorth · 26/11/2020 21:33

Oh god, the pooing threads. Before we had to worry about poo trolls, there was a thread about pooing yourself that rendered me senseless. I couldn’t breathe.

The most memorable post was a pp who was heavily pregnant and had, ahem, followed through, and, in an attempt to ‘keep it in’ had reversed slowly into her conservatory.

I. Just. Wept.

Florelei · 26/11/2020 21:27

I am ill laughing at the ‘bashing my keyboard with my tits and hoping for the best’ thread. 😂😂

Thank you for this thread OP

OMG!!!!! Am fully guffawing Grin "the other was left straggling and I accidentally cupped his balls." "I'm MNing in the toilet, shuddering in shame" Grin Grin oh my god that's funny. I needed a laugh today Grin

I always remember the woman who was in M&S with her mum. They were both off browsing then she found her mum again "staring intently at nothing". When she tried to take her arm her mum said "If I move, I'm going to poo" Grin

I was also the poster who found two pork sausages in my - since exH (you gotta wonder why) - dirty jeans in the washing basket. Everyone just kept asking if they were raw Grin

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 26/11/2020 20:51

There was a thread fairly recently where, for some unknown reason, the OP asked ‘Do you like your husband’s penis?’ Amongst many hilarious comments, one poster replied ‘My Ex husband had a fabulous penis, I loved it. I wasn’t keen on that useless bit of skin on the end though, what’s it called? Oh yes, that’s right, Alan’
(Paraphrasing, before the thread police come backWink). I was upstairs in bed ill at the time and I was snorting and wheezing so loudly DH came to check I was ok, he thought I was choking.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 26/11/2020 20:05

Has anyone mentioned the dad that pinched a Wotsit off his kid yet ? Not even from the bag , he had put them on the side as he might want them later .
It was bedlam! By the end of it the 4 yr old was going to grow up depressed and in need of therapy, I kid you not .

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 26/11/2020 19:56

Has anyone mentioned 'fuck off you spud cunt' to the potato that fell on the floor in the supermarket?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 26/11/2020 19:41

I can't remember which thread she was on, but the performance-parenting mum who did a little naked jig in the swimming pool changing room whilst playing the pan pipes in an effort to terrify entertain her baby.

Also, on the same theme, the woman who insisted on going to sit in the men's changing rooms at the local pool when waiting whilst her child had a swimming lesson. She chose there because she found the main lobby/waiting area/cafe (I forget exactly) too busy and noisy. She was really disgusted at the disgraceful behaviour of the men being naked in the men's changing rooms, in front of this woman who had arbitrarily decided to invade. They had bums and everything Grin

£80!! I used to get them for free at the school disco!

@LadyJaye

I would be forever grateful if somebody could link to the 'IT Advice for Ladies' thread. 😀

A thread that’s now in classics.
OP kept hearing sex noises coming from her hedge.
Unanimous vote from MN “It’s foxes”
OP replies “I’ve never heard a fox ask for a finger up their bum”.
If you'd read the thread, love, you'd know it was hedgehogs, not foxes.
Slightly cringing for you.

If you're going to quote something, at least do it with knowledge*

I’m frightfully sorry. I shall leave the thread forthwith and will never reminisce again.
Pfft

You are vindicated, there were indeed foxes mentioned. I quoted the original op of the sex hedge mystery a couple pages back saying exactly as you quoted: OP replies “I’ve never heard a fox ask for a finger up their bum”. I even left the time stamp on it. No leaving for youGrin
nemeton · 26/11/2020 17:43

OP: I have three mangos, what can I do with them
Poster: juggle them
OP: AngryAngryAngry

LunaNorth · 26/11/2020 17:32

I still randomly giggle over a thread where the OP’s mum had to be put in an ambulance, and kept farting.

Every time she farted, she said ‘I’m sorry, Alan.’ Funny enough - even funnier that the paramedic’s name wasn’t Alan.

Grin

She was okay in the end so I don’t feel too guilty laughing.

DadOnIce · 26/11/2020 17:08

Does anyone remember 'Matthew, mind your penis!'

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 26/11/2020 17:07

I'm sure I remember one about stealing a loaf a bread, and the entire thread was just Les Mis lyrics.

CarrieMoonbeams · 26/11/2020 17:01

I remember reading about a woman who wanted to learn to drive, and she thought she'd prefer to learn in a "manuel" (as opposed to an automatic).

The first reply was "Que?" 😂 😂
