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.

This need nominating to go in classics. Fuck knows how to do it on the app

“We hear plenty of noise from your house but never a hoover!”.

LOL mic drop. That's brilliant.

@Fckingfuming

'you don't have to announce your departure it's not an airport!' 😂
Not only did that one cause me to nearly embarrass myself, and add to the weekly laundry, I shamelessly stole it and used it to good effect at a liberal political site here in the US.

THANK YOU to whomever said it in the first place!

There’s a thread in Classics I read once a year started by Ledkr while staying with her in-laws.

My favourite post is quite simply about someone’s FiL:

he cannot make himself a sandwich, and will stand looking pathetic with a piece of bread until MIL comes to spread some butter on it and miraculously turn it into a sarnie through the medium of ham...

Dailyhandtowelwash Wow thank you, that was one of the first Mumsnet threads I remember! Will enjoy revisiting it now.

The woman who meant to say “come on you whiny tinker” to her child in the busy doctor’s waiting room, but it came out as “tiny wanker!” Grin

Giggling at this in particular Cameron and Reees mogg
I do remember cunty chops

Lorw · 12/02/2021 01:15

The bangers and mash one had me crying with laughter at some of the comments 😂

Lorw · 12/02/2021 01:24

And someone the other day wrote:

‘Did someone leave the gate open at the cunt farm, with a trail of breadcrumbs leading straight to this thread?’

Cracked me up 😂

@wellthatsunusual

Someone said a few months ago that Dominic Raab looks like he would jump out of bed and do karate chops after sex. I can't look at him on TV without picturing it. Which is, frankly, traumatic.
That's exactly what he does look like. Grin Thanks for posting it here, I hadn't seen it.

WILLY, WILLY, WILLY!!!!!!!!!

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 12/02/2021 01:52

On threads about transgenderism, when someone refers to ordinary cunty women.

JollyGreenGiantess · 12/02/2021 01:58

@VetOnCall

There was a thread ages ago in Baby Names where the OP asked if there were any names that Hugo could be short for. There were some hilarious responses - Hugoesthere, Hugotthelove, Hugoslavia and Hughgogirl were my favourites Grin - but the OP didn't appreciate them and got a bit stroppy and then flounced, whereupon someone quipped 'are you still there OP or did Hugoaway?'. It still makes me laugh now.
Howling. And trying not to waken light sleeping toddler. Difficult balance
Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 12/02/2021 02:21

Grin wonderful thread

grassisjeweled · 12/02/2021 02:47

Cna someone explain the 'I'm a Canadian' thing?

Groovinpeanut · 12/02/2021 02:48

@DaftSkunk

There was a thread where a poster was asking for reviews on a pram, and then replied to their own thread a year later 😂
That was so funny. I literally had tears of laughter streaming down my face. 😂😂

"It's a child you're naming, not a Womble'

Response to OP who was wanting to name their child after a random place

halfpasteleven · 12/02/2021 04:45

@brushandmop you've brightened up DDs night time feed! Thank you!

There is a fabulous thread in classics where the Dc have been out for the day with their dad who has an unusual lifestyle. They come home with tales of eating badger. The whole thread is brilliant but my favourite line was when one poster asked if the badger was " from the sett menu"

IDoAllMyOwnStunts · 12/02/2021 06:37

On the one about what we think we look like in outfits one poster said the first time she wore her floaty Cath Kidston dress her DH said she looked like she should be 'shuffling along a hospital corridor attached to a drip'

Still makes me laugh now that one.

Stillfunny · 12/02/2021 06:41

Who did a poster describe as looking like a thumb ?
