What's the funniest thing you have ever read on MN?

A few weeks ago there was a thread that was really funny. I literally couldn't move for laughing at one of the comments. Think it was something like "did you smash your tits on the keyboard and press send" most days since, this comment has popped into my mind and made me laugh so much.

So who ever posted that comment thanks so much 💐

What's the funniest thing you have ever read on MN?

The two funniest threads I recall are the one with the women on a bus with a "fly space" - no one knew what she meant, and never did - who had been shouted at by a man for putting her shopping there and she thought he'd called her fat or something - it was totally bonkers. The other one is the woman whose husband was "doing the T rex in Asda" and she had to tell him off. Sorry, I don't know how to link.

Also, don't think anyone's mentioned it yet - the one where the poster didn't know how to get rid of her old sex toys. The whole thread was funny but the one response that really sent me was "pop them in a jiffy bag and post them to Putin." This is now a standard response in my house to "where should I put X" 🤣

Very funny but the correct answer is actually "fly to Chicago and flick them at the bean."

A plea for help in finding this Maileg Mouse! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/1717943-A-plea-for-help-in-finding-this-Maileg-Mouse

Thanks to this thread I've been looking through Classics, and found this amazing thread (2013) complete with an update from 2021 about her DD & Maileg Mouse 9 or so years on. Beautiful.

It's just gorgeous, isn't it? The OP & her family sound just lovely

Nishky32 · 09/07/2022 07:14

Yes, they do. As does their neighbour, crawling past the window!

Ok who else is in tears after reading the mouse thread?

Especially when she posted the update where she had given now nearly 16 yo DD the print out of the thread! 💔

@SpidersAreShitheads and @TattiePants
Many thanks 😊

Not me. Oh no - I’ve just got something in my eye. Honest!

spagbog5 · 09/07/2022 14:46

It was one about someone trapped in a jumpsuit and posters advising lube and a fish slice to the op to free herself and many other hysterical things.
I still chuckle thinking about it!

I wasn't going to read it, not in the mood for crying. Proper bloody sobbing!

I agree, it would make a great film, as long as it's not too shmaltzy 🐭

007DoubleOSeven · 09/07/2022 16:09

Oh my word, I have tears on my cheeks from the mouse thread!

NancyDrooo · 09/07/2022 16:38

Thought you were all being a bit melodramatic about the flippin mouse, but now I have wet eyes too.

Parents - the minute your kid gets attached to a favourite toy, buy a spare. My son only just found out (aged 14) that we always had two identical monkeys.

ImFuminHun · 09/07/2022 16:46

Years and years ago a poster was asking for advice, she suspected her daughter had thread worm and asked how she could tell.

Someone suggested looking at night when she was asleep, go in with a torch and check.

The next poster said "It depends how old she is. If she's 15, I wouldn't recommend doing that."

It totally caught me off guard and I was pissing my pants. It doesn't make me laugh now but it did at the time!

How have I never seen or heard about that thread before? 🤣

sashh · 10/07/2022 01:11

I said on the mouse thread, it needs to be a film.

HopeForTheBest · 10/07/2022 18:01

I remember the mouse thread, taht was lovely.
And speaking of mice - the one where the OP caught a mouse and kept it in her slow cooker? Does taht ring any bells with anyone?

stillvicarinatutu · 10/07/2022 18:57

God the mouse one has had me sobbing. How utterly lovely .

My ex was a wanker abkut me using mn - but this is exactly why I'm here x

FuckingBUTTERbeans · 10/07/2022 19:51

Lots of the ones mentioned already but also hammich and I think there were a couple of other threads but the same OP that were funny as well. Not sure if they turned out to be a troll. I also enjoyed Sharon and the wine on the wall and the thread where the OP had failed at storming off in a huff whilst drunk and there were lots of posters sharing similar stories.

@AbsoluteShambles thanks for the mad diet thread. Really tickled me.

It’s amazing, isn’t it?!

I used to get asked to read the updates to my ex and my best mate. 😂

My fave : T. rex 🦖

I've read half of T rex today. It is the most bonkers thread ever, so funny.
