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 💐

Yes to many of these but the last one that creased me up was "WHY IS THERE A FUCKING HEDGEHOG IN THD BATH?!"

There’s been so many. Love it when I come across a thread that just makes me laugh.

one of the more recent ones I couldn’t stop reading was the parking one with the Ford ranger.
can’t remember it’s title but I still wonder whether a huge group of women on mn actually descended on the farmers market looking for hero db.

The woman who was camping with her young children. They kept asking questions about the loud sexual goings on in the next tent, at one point she pretended to faint just to avoid answering. It was a live commentary and I actually laughed till I cried.

The one where someone cooked their hairdresser a steak and watched her eat it with her husband.

Snapped and farted

A very funny (tongue in cheek) thread about mums outdoing each other. One poster gloated about glueing letters on the end of her tampax to teach her unborn baby the alphabet.

Another post about elderly parents, one poster sai
d her parents would come to her house each with their own laptop to read their emails,even though it had been explained to them they could access them from any computer.

My favourite post was the one where a tired new mum brought her baby to the doctor, he asked her to put one hand on the his head and the other hand on his tummy. So she put the posed the baby with one hand on his head and his other hand on his little tummy. "Not the baby,YOU" The Dr dryly replied.

Why would a woman need Tampax if she wa pregnant? Unless she thought the letters would somehow leach onto her womb through osmosis, like flash cards on a classroom wall in readiness.

Steak and blow dry?

The first thread I ever read was about super soakers. Along the lines of 'is it ok to bring super soakers to a kids birthday party'

Mumsnet: no, do not do it

OP 20 pages on still hadn't cottoned she would be totally out of order. The sharply funny vitriol cracked me up.

I remember that one. A rare thread where all of MN agreed she was def being unreasonable and the OP kept coming back saying INBU because.....

dustandroses · 08/07/2022 09:32

Lots of old threads made me proper laugh. The most recent one I can remember laughing at was the TEAMS/ Zoom fails while wfh.

ParadiseLaundry · 08/07/2022 09:34

There was one thread about terrible holiday experiences and one poster said they went somewhere and the weather was terrible and the resort kept playing a song with the lyrics 'if you're scared motherfucker go to church' and by the end of the holiday everyone, even the kids were singing it. 😂

I'm in a cafe and doubled over laughing writing this and the owner has just asked what I'm laughing at but I'll feel stupid explaining 😂

ParadiseLaundry · 08/07/2022 09:35

Oh and even though it was obviously a troll I thought the Sistine Screamer was hilarious too!

www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3178898-DH-embarrassed-by-my-sensitivity aka"the one where op screamed at the Michaelangelo" this one was mumsnet gold, particularly as op made an od lady jump and had to be escorted out by security. Thanks for the remainders everyone, pmsl again!

TattiePants · 08/07/2022 09:37

Your Minge, I AM CANADIAN & Suzi Quatro’s fat nan have been mentioned already.

There was another ‘problem with my vagina’ thread where the op had a name change fail which was even funnier than UCM’s thread. Im sure it was BupcakesandCunting (off to search classics).

The other one that had me howling was the poster had to call an ambulance for her DM. The DM was off her face on gas and air as she was being put into the ambulance and kept farting. The DM kept apologising to the paramedic saying ‘sorry Alan’ - the paramedic wasn’t called Alan.

I loved the thread about the bonkers things you've done when looking after a newborn. One lady dropped something on her baby's head then spent ages dropping it on to her own head to try and "recreate" the pain. Another forgot to put her baby's gloves on on a cold day, so she took her own gloves off in solidarity. So funny yet so relatable Grin

Wasn't there a mum who got herself and the baby ready to go out but then remembered that she had heard the baby should wear one more layer then her so took her coat off before she went out.

The pregnant OP who went swimming with her DH, but forgot to put her bikini bottoms on...

"I CAN SEE YOUR MINGE!"

🤣🤣🤣

queenie2016 · 08/07/2022 09:43

There was a thread the other month where someone's husband was ill and sh*t everywhere all over the bedroom all over the stairs I still laugh thinking about it now

MiniMoosey · 08/07/2022 09:47

It’s so sad how miserable and cynical everyone is now. Screaming troll and getting harmless threads deleted. Who cares if it’s not real, if it’s not hurting anyone and it’s funny just leave it be! You never know who really needs that laugh after the end of a long shitty day!

Shybutnotretiring · 08/07/2022 09:48

The one where the crazy neighbour kept posting pictures of whales through OP's letterbox

I first found Mumsnet after reading an article in the Guardian talking about various posts, one of which was someone describing how her toddler refused to have her teeth cleaned unless the cat was doing it. That is still the funniest thing I have read, just imagining how that situation first came into being ("Well what if Daddy does it? No? What if big brother cleans your teeth? Oh for God's sake what if the cat does it?") and the fact that a desperate one off was now part of the routine, and imagining the fractious cat having to be located every evening and held up to the child's face with a toothbrush, pretending to clean the teeth....

I can't find the Guardian article because their search engine is even worse than this site's , but it must have been more than 15 years ago.

"Suspend all thought of embarrassment and do what you have to do to get things down. My daughter will only let the cat brush her teeth, so I have to hold a struggling cat under one arm while trying to brush them, but making it look like the cat was doing it. palermo"

The woman with her grizzly toddler in the doctors waiting room trying to call him a whiny tinker and ending up calling him a tiny wanker! Omg!

Thankyou for this 😂

The woman who had threadworms and read that garlic would help so put a garlic clove up her arse. Her description of the later consequences at nursery had me howling

Oh god, I'm crying at my desk reading these, need to look a few up! Does anyone remember one about a lady that was annoyed with her neighbour putting up a "no parking" sign one Christmas so she went out and decorated it with tinsel in the night? It went on and on.... it was happening in real time and I couldn't wait for her next updates but I can't remember the details now!
