As in... tickled you.. have a wry inwards smile.. dare I say it have a silent chuckle? I don’t drink tea and so have never spat it out Smile

There are tons... one from this week is from a thread where the teenagers had drunk all the milk at 2am leaving none for the OPs morning tea. What tickled me was a different poster empathising and saying that in a different thread the other OP had retaliated by “aggressively hoovering” outside their teen’s bedroom door.

Aggressively hoovering. Love it.

The one where someone made a thread asking about driving a manual car, but they called it Manuel in the thread title and the first reply was ‘Que?’ Grin

Someone said something along the lines of them having a hammy vagina..made me and a lot of others howl with laughter 😂

@BertieBotts

The one where someone accidentally creosoted a pigeon and people were imagining all sorts of scenarios. Someone simply said that the pigeon flew home and his family said "Paul? Is that you?"

I don't know why but it had me in stitches.

That thread had me in hysterics.

@Popsy321

I read snapped and farted 'live' as it happened and it just caught the moment and was hilarious!

I couldn't stop laughing, just brilliant.

I'm sure there was a hamster one- the poster popped DDs dead hamster in the freezer out the way then defrosted it the next day so it could be discovered at a more suitable time.

The first reply was 'that is the wierdest thing I have ever read'.

IHaveBrilloHair · 11/02/2021 22:46

I also came to say,
I AM CANADIAN.

@Sparklfairy oh yes the typos just kept coming one after the other, thanks for reminding me and thanks OP for the trip down memory lane.

TokyoSushi · 11/02/2021 22:48

About a year ago somebody says that Jacob Rees Mogg looks like he ejaculates dust, still makes me laugh now!

ChristmasinJune · 11/02/2021 22:50

The one where family was expanding and the title of the thread was "we're going to need a bigger cat" after a typo. It was a lovely thread that had me giggling all through.

reservoircats · 11/02/2021 22:53

The other day (may have been a few weeks, who knows) someone who was 6/7 weeks pregnant posted about dates trying to figure out who the father of her baby was.
One of the replies was on the lines of "bloody hell OP I haven't had that many people in my house over the last 2 months let alone in my vagina" and it fucking ended me.

DaftSkunk · 11/02/2021 22:53

There was a thread where a poster was asking for reviews on a pram, and then replied to their own thread a year later 😂

Namechangenumber23 · 11/02/2021 22:56

I remember one thread on the subject of random chin hairs, which turned into others sympathising and takes of other random pop ups elsewhere on the body. A reply came in along the lines of just wait til you find them near your knees - it's pubes sending out a scouting party

Namechangenumber23 · 11/02/2021 22:57

@reservoircats 😂

Graphista · 11/02/2021 22:58

"Fish slice and sex lube" the context was key but the comment alone made me laugh.

The poster was trying to get something burnt onto a halogen hob? Iirc?

Loving reading this thread though and seeing some new to me

whereisthejoy · 11/02/2021 22:58

Hilarious thread someone started about how awful they looked in their passport photo - a mum came along and said her baby looked like a criminal potato in his Grin that absolutely killed me (maybe because we had just had our then 6 month old's passport pic done and I could apply the same description to that!)

I love this too. I watched it "live" and it was just the most perfect Mumsnet thread.

That and the one with the rescue of a dead run over cat that...wasn't.

HmmSureJan · 11/02/2021 23:02

"Well woof to you lady!" I can't even remember why she said it but it was in response to some one posting something snarky on her thread Grin

Couchbettato · 11/02/2021 23:03

The thread that was misplaced from the litter tray to chat about getting her 16 year old boy to stop licking his nipples.

And also every comment on that thread.

dalmatianmad · 11/02/2021 23:04

There was a thread last night where someone's neighbour was shouting "thats it, come on, clear my pipes" whilst they were having sex. I had tears streaming done my face. Dp thought I was sobbing and came and hugged me Grin

ktp100 · 11/02/2021 23:05

Howling!!!!!!

Thanks for starting this thread, OP. I needed this today.x.

GoldSlipper · 11/02/2021 23:05

Thread about an ongoing neighbour dispute. Mumsnetter quipped to said neighbour over the garden fence, “We hear plenty of noise from your house but never a hoover!”. Made me lol!

Namechangenumber23 · 11/02/2021 23:07

Someone once described a hot tub as "chlamydia soup"

HopelesslyOptimistic · 11/02/2021 23:09

This thread has brightened up my bored Covid life and reignited my synapses. So thank you.

7catsandcounting · 11/02/2021 23:09

There was one once where the OP was complaining that her bf didn't want sex and then later on down the thread intimated that she'd sorted herself out.

Someone put, "Well, you know what they say, one in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Maybe it's used quite commonly in this context, but it was the first time I'd heard it and I was jealous I hadn't thought of it first. :-)
