Most memorable comment on MN

[HeArInGhandsgirl11]

Stupid, inspiring, funny .... what ever it was, what is your most memorable comment on MN.

Mine was a poster who said her grandma once told her the secret to a successful marriage is "don't both fall out of love at the same time"

☝️ has stuck with me

you know you're talking to yourself three years ago, right?
...from the Hauck stroller thread where the OP replies to herself 3 years later.
This one will always be my winner as far as comments go.

When we were all arguing about what it was OK to go shopping for during lockdown, someone said “milk and bread are not essential” and it made me a bit scared about what was happening to us all. I came off the COVID threads after that.

the covid ones were batshit. Wasn't there someone who would run into her house when neighbours went into their garden.

bread
ham
bread

I remember your minge!!!! I think it's in classics (dashes off to look)

Your minge! Was excellent. Sadly no longer available to view but IIRC it was a very pregnant OP getting her older DC's armbands by the side of a swimming pool, then getting herself ready to swim by taking off her bikini bottoms. "Your minge!" was her horrified husband mouthing at her from the other side of the pool.

My personal favourite was a random stranger overhearing how big OP's baby was and telling her that she "must have a badger of steel"! I've never heard that expression before or since.

Please find it!

That's adorable!!!

”Snapped and farted” anyone? 😆

The poster who was out one day when her parents drove past her in the street. They smiled at her and made wanking gestures, much to her bemusement.

It turned out the parents had a neighbour who disliked them, but they were oblivious to this and just thought he had a new, trendy way of waving hello. The thought of the parents driving around cheerfully “wanking” at people they knew really tickled me.

The other day someone referred to black cats as “house panthers”. I have one myself, so I’m stealing that.

I also liked the line about another poster’s DP. “He needs to retrieve his balls from Mummy’s handbag.”

The most memorable, not entirely sure as there have been lots.

The one that sticks in my mind for being the funniest thing I've ever read was the woman who wouldn't leave her washing pegged out overnight in case it got "darked on". DP and I use this phrase in everyday life now. Two evenings ago after the really hot weather, we did laundry in the evening as it had been too hot during the day to be standing frying in the sun pegging out washing. He asked if I wanted to use the indoor airer or whether he should peg them out "just for an hour" at 8pm. I asked him to peg them out and leave them overnight. I casually added "they'll get darked on but they'll be alright". He knew what I was referring to and didn't even argue 🤣

you beat me to it!

god I miss those days! & those posters/friends. . It's true that you don't know what you've got till it's gone!

You got there before I did. This was one of the first things that really made me chuckle!

Wasn't the owl noise made by an OP to express her displeasure with a colleague in a work canteen who insisted that while on Slimming World, only Muller Lites were acceptable. The poster took it for granted that everyone expressed their exasperation by hooting.

This was hilarious!

The original thread has gone but there's a copy and paste of the short version in this thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/3784364-The-thread-where-the-lady-forgot-her-swimming-bottoms

And you've beaten me to my second most memorable!!

I AM CANADIAN.

Hahahaha loved that one so much!

The one that sticks in my mind for being the funniest thing I've ever read was the woman who wouldn't leave her washing pegged out overnight in case it got "darked on".

And didn’t someone else think that if you leave your washing out overnight, “spiders will rub their willies on them”.

I enjoy the ones with a minor complaint about the OH such as "he doesn't like blue milk and prefers green milk" and there are 50 angry messages saying LTB 😂

Not me! Cooo coooo

I can't remember what the argument was about between the 2 posters but 1 if them said just said And woof to you too madam 🤣🤣🤣 , it's still stick in my head years later

The BEST bit of that was the bonkers bint who said you could just put cheese in your coffee!!

“I told MIL SHE was the carcass” 😂

1. There was a thread about an OP hearing noises in her hedge and thinking it might be neighbours/affair or similar happening.

Someone suggested hedgehogs/foxes making the noise and the reply was something along the lines of never having heard of a hedgehog/foxes asking for a cheeky finger up the bum.

1. Years ago, details are vague now but an OP was disappointed in a romantic relationship. They were due to meet at the zoo and the thread wandered off down many marvellous paths with a whole gang of MNers agreeing to meet up with OP by the penguins and give the guy what for. It was a lovely example of women supporting women and hilarious too.

1. Many threads on the various forms of abuse/DV that were highly educational and helped me talk to a friend who wasn't being physically abused but was definitely suffering emotional and financial abuse and sexual coercion. She is divorced and doing very well now.

I AM CANADIAN was also excellent.

The chipped tooth / bj post - tell the dentist it was a random guy at the bus stop 🤣🤣🤣
