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.

@Supersee

I think I'm dead inside as I rarely laugh at these but I really did laugh at the recent one where the OP was listening in to the hot office guy giving his address to a trade's person so she decided to put his post code into the maps app on her phone.

Then it blared out STARTING ROUTE TO (hot guy postcode).. in front of hot guy and whole office.

I really needed a laugh that day and it delivered!

That was fucking funny

The poster who had been scolded as a child for eating all the buttons from the TV remote. I had the giggles for most of the day...

Ah yes!
Recently someone on here offered the solution that a poster who was getting pissed off with a 6 year old girl who kept looking through a gap in here fence should be shouted at with the words ‘peaking pervert’ in order to put her off from looking Confused . Made me giggle for a few days that.

I've remembered another one:

Fuck off then you spud cunt

ErinTingey · 18/04/2022 23:26

Snapped and farted was so clearly contrived it was not funny.

@Khalas

On the baby names thread:

"What middle name goes with Havana?"

MN reply: "ooh nana"

Grin

😂
YorkshireTerri · 19/04/2022 02:58

I didn't find snapped and farted funny at all!

I did find the 'AIBU about the man on the bus' one hilarious! And felt a bit mean for that but I am a miserable sod and hardly ever have real, crying laughter but I did at that thread!
I can see someone's already linked it.

Also this one www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3871217-Would-you-confess-your-cake-had-made-the-hole-Please-be-honest?pg=1

For some reason the 'Take it to the grave OP' comment just Grin

konasana · 19/04/2022 06:24

There was one where someone (bupcakes?) had a rude response from PTA mum about a rice crispy cake and there was something funny about lemon drizzle? What was that?

Also the one about punching cakes in the supermarket. I still get the urge now.

@pleaseturnmeover

'Your minge!' post (not mine, lifted from another thread):

this has been on here before but it is my most shamefilled moment and i burn red thinking about it...
32 weeks pregnant with dc3 we went swimming, i had put my tankini on at home so i could see if i had a bad bikini line hanging out the bottom of my bottoms.
we went to the baths,dp got dd2 changed and gave me the armbands and rubber ring to 'sort' and so i just took my out door clothes off and 'met them on poolside' i was dutifully inflating the barbie rubber ring\armbands when dp started advancing down the side of the pool mouthing frantically 'wtf are you doing i can see your minge' i was puffing up the inflatables glaring at him as he gestured and mouthed 'your minge,i can see your minge' i looked on the little chair by the poolside and there,neatly folded,underneath the rubber ring were my tankini bottoms.
i don't know why i took them off,but i was stood inflating shit,by the pool while 'family swim' went on beside me.

This started the day off well 😂

It never gets old.

My other fave had been mentioned, The Quern.

AllotmentTime · 19/04/2022 07:41

My favourite is the post which started along the lines of “I have LITERALLY twatted a spider to death”
The first posters (and presumably many readers including me) were all people who had come to take the OP to task for her use of the word “literally”, before realising she had in fact done just as she said Grin

LookItsMeAgain · 19/04/2022 09:12

I remember the invention of "cunt bunting" which I believe was following the punching of a lemon drizzle cake (or something along those lines) back in 2013.
I can't remember how the bunting was supposed to look though Grin

Somethingsnappy · 19/04/2022 10:50

There had been a thread about a poster missing out on a baby changing bag in a charity shop, that went on for pages and pages. A couple of days later, there was a thread about something weird and occult-ish going on in some woods that a poster wanted advice about. A poster came on to say something along these lines (although I won't be able to phrase it as hilariously as they did)... 'OP, we are a forum made up of predominantly middle aged, middle class women, who have spent the last few days arguing delightedly about a charity shop handbag. I don't think many of us will be much of an authority on Satanism'.

It made me cry with laughter. And it was quoted dozens of times, until one disgruntled poster acknowledged that it was amusing, but demanded that people stop quoting it.

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 19/04/2022 11:16

One that sticks in my mind from a mistakes at work thread.
The poster had noticed a blank field in a program that printed out cheques for their vendors. So she typed something, thinking nothing would happen, only for one of the vendors to contact them and ask why all their cheques had "Oy oy saveloy" printed on the back.

AppaTheSixLeggedFlyingBison · 19/04/2022 11:23

Not so much a one liner but the 'I then made owl noises at her' where we all assumed it was a typo but turned out to be actually that Grin

LookItsMeAgain · 19/04/2022 11:28

What thread was that @CeratopsofthePharoahs? That sounds hilarious!!!!

iklboo · 19/04/2022 16:52

Penguin dates. That was way back in t'day when it were all fields around here.

I've never heard this before but it now I can't stop laughing.

It was all going quite well for the OP until she said that. The real hilarity ensued when somebody asked her what she meant and the OP described making "coo coo" noises.

She was so dense she didn't even know the difference between an owl and a pigeon.

Honeydragon and her spoony fucker of a husband

AnnieTwackie's amazing thread where she decorated her neighbour's no parking sign with a full nativity scene over a few days. When her neighbour asked who had time for stuff like that, her response was "You have to make time for the important things Kath". Still makes me laugh immoderately.

I only flicked through a couple of pages of that parking sign thread and howled with laughter at the OP's photo of Makka Pakka as the baby Jesus. DP looked at me like I'd lost the plot (it's a frequent occurrence when I'm browsing MN and he knows it).
Snoopsnoggysnog · 19/04/2022 23:56

I came on here to say the Hugo thread but got beaten to it Grin

So many funny ones on here

I remember one where the DH always said “uh-huh” like Elvis every time he heard the word pelvis. When the poster was pregnant and they went to a scan / midwife appt the word pelvis kept being said and she said her DH was bursting from the “pent up uh-huhs”. Really made me laugh!

Can someone please post a link to that thread???? Please??????

yellowsuninthesky · 20/04/2022 14:57

Quite recently there was a thread about all the management-speak-bollox people hate. It was generally very funny but I especially liked the post about someone inventing "it was like a dinosaur's picnic" for cock-up and we were all going to go away and use it and see if it caught on. I've not had the opportunity yet.
