I’m relatively new to Mumsnet (18 months ish). After reading some absolute pearlers today re eating out and managing to make left over toddler meals last 2 days, I’m intrigued to know what are the stand out posts you remember.

Ive read classics but I’m after one liners that made you properly laugh.

When someone was complaining that their boss had been cheap with her secret Santa present. She knew he was her secret Santa as he had been late for the fisting. She meant to say gifting

@shrunkenhead

The threads that I still like to read more and again as they make me properly lol are the woman on the bus talking about her shopping that was in the "fly space" and a man had asked her to move it. No one knew what she was on about and it was hilarious. That and the woman's dh in the supermarket (could've been Asda) "doing the T rex" and she wasn't happy about it!
I remember the t rex one, did he say that his partner should say when he does it, and then when she did he was not impressed, or something along those lines.

The OP didn't see the funny side of the typos, got cross with everyone on the thread because we were all laughing too much to offer anything constructive, & had all their posts deleted but you can still get the gist of it...

WelshDaffodil · 17/04/2022 23:46

During the first Covid lockdown when we were allowed one form of exercise per day, posters were discussing walk/run/cycle and one posted simply posted, "Decathlon for me" Grin

TitaniasAss · 18/04/2022 00:02

Oh there are so many. I've been here about 18 years and some of the comments have made me howl.😂

Rogue1001MNer · 18/04/2022 00:08

Jesusinthecabbagevan is ALWAYS funny 💕

I liked-
My god, even the dog's a cunt

A very recent thread about a cat making unreasonable demands and a poster said "is this a reverse?"

I love the Easter bonnet one in classics and the line about how the op was new to bonneting.
Funny AND topical

There are others. They'll come back to me.

On the not buying eggs for the step children thread today, the OP kept wanging on about all the weeks of preparation she'd done for her toddler's Easter and a poster said something like "What were you preparing? A live action allegory of Jesus Christ Superstar with chocolate bunnies and fluffy chicks?"

I gathered from that thread that basically, she had prepared her part for her dc via the shopping order that arrived the day before, and as a result it was up To her partner to sort his kids eggs out. But I understand her perspectives, but at the same time, why should the children suffer, due to her partner's lack of professionalism.

Mine is the post where the OP was having bother with someone throwing potatoes at her windows. So many potato puns but the best one was...

Hope you get it sautéed, OP.

Can someone summarise 'your mince'? I feel I'm missing out!!!

legalseagull · 18/04/2022 08:10

Or even 'your minge' Grintypos haha

The one where the poster got a perm and ended up looking like Colonel Gaddafi

HRTQueen · 18/04/2022 08:43

The Colonel Gaddafi perm was very funny

The lighthearted threads of experiences as a child of the 70/80’s are often very funny.

PlasticineMeg · 18/04/2022 09:02

A few years ago there was a thread where the OP was complaining that he neighbour had thrown poppy seeds randomly around his garden and surrounding area - the grievance being that poppies grow absolutely anywhere and now the garden walls up and down the street had random poppies growing out of them. She made a very amusing comment along the lines of ‘our street now looks like a badly waxed bikini line’.

One of the first comments was something like “Disgusting comment. I wonder what the WW2 heroes would have to say about your views on poppies” 😂😂😂😂

notanotheraibu · 18/04/2022 09:04

Someone who spent their disposable income on a luxury hotel for their hamster and sent them via Uber as it was raining.

I'm paraphrasing you probably had to be there.

PlasticineMeg · 18/04/2022 09:05

I found the poppy thread! I was a bit off - it was “Surely solider who fought for our country hold that view” 🤣🤣🤣

@legalseagull, a poster went swimming with her family and in her post birth exhausted state removed her tankini bottoms at the side of the pool
'your minge' was her DH helpful response Grin

GiveMummyTheWhizzer · 18/04/2022 09:17

There was a thread once, I forget when, but the OP was talking about being out shopping with her mum in M&S and her mum suddenly froze. When asked what was wrong she replied "if I move, I'll poo".

Made me belly laugh. It was prob a thread about embarrassing farts or similar.

LubaLuca · 18/04/2022 09:26

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll

I'm so sorry Alan

Thread about farting I think and the posters mum had farted on her way to an ambulance, with Alan being the paramedic

I'm laughing even just typing it

I'm pretty sure it was even funnier than that - as the paramedic's name wasn't actually Alan (or anything like it)!!

This was my mum. 'I'm so sorry, Alan' is what the whole family says when anyone farts. Mum hates us for it.
