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

An OP who moved house and her toddler said he couldn't sleep in his new room because, he 'missed the old grey haired man who used to smile at him every night through his bedroom window!!' 😱😱

A couple of months later they were visiting their old home town, when the toddler shouted excitedly "THERE HE IS! THE KIND OLD MAN!"

It turned out to be Colonel Sanders on an illuminated KFC sign in the distance. He could see him from his old bedroom window 😂

That's brilliant

”Snapped and farted” anyone? 😆

I don't get it, to me that one really wasn't funny but people find it hilarious

When my DC was little we made the decision not to give them chocolate, sweets or Fizzy drinks until they were old enough to know what they were and to actively request them. The reaction I got, anything would think I was proposing child abuse. I was told my child would be obese, have an earring disorder or would secretly scoff all the chocolate she could get behind my back.

Fast forward 16 years, and I now have two teens who are not fussed by chocolate. Eldest has still got some Easter eggs Sat in her room waiting to be eaten, doesn't like fizzy drinks and has a perfectly healthy diet. She loves her fruit and veg. But I was surprised that so many people had such an extreme reaction.

I forget entirely the subject of the thread, but it referred to the offender as carrying on like a pork chop! I love this expression and have used it plenty since. Does anyone recall the post?

SkiingIsHeaven · 22/07/2022 00:07

My favourite was the woman at the dentist one. The dentist said "suction" to the dental assistant but she got confused and sucked his finger.

I cried laughing when I told my family about the thread.

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 22/07/2022 00:07

I never got "snapped and farted"
My all time favourite was when some glorious Mner said David Cameron has "a face like a freshly wanked cock" 😂😂😂 it is just So True!

I love it

myuterusistryingtokillme · 22/07/2022 00:14

That was so bizarre. Especially when she couldn't understand why everyone was so taken aback. She seemed to think it was normal behaviour 😂

I swear that was the same poster who growled/snarled/barked at some bloke in a car, because he pulled up and parked near where she was walking and she didn't like it

Your minge!!

I can still laugh out loud just at the memory of reading that story !

ifIwerenotanandroid · 22/07/2022 00:19

A woman wrote about repeatedly being examined internally (?after giving birth) & when one medic apologised for putting a finger in her she said, "It's OK, I already feel like Sooty," & he wasn't amused.

I thought it was hilarious.

There’s one today that I think may be my all time favourite, by a poster on her theory as to why she has no schoolgate mum friends:

I had the unfortunate circumstances of being a tall attractive woman with a ‘posh’ accent in a deprived area, (no my name is not Samantha), a very handsome husband (yes, one small example was a school mum saying loudly she wouldn’t mind a bit of him as she walked past us), twins (which some of them were obviously jealous of), my DC all being gorgeous, immaculately turned out and doing well at school if I say so myself.

😂😂😂😂

That has to be a wind up surely?!

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 22/07/2022 00:22

@Bbq1 she was deadly serious

I think I'm in that one, playing Woman in White Clothes Who Hasn't Got Duck Breasts.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 22/07/2022 00:27

There was a thread where the OP was bemoaning her friend's lack of planning, and how irritating it was that said friend would ask to use ops powerbank/shopping bag while out. Calm down Brown owl was one of the first replies and mafe me howl.

Show quote history

I didn't/don't understand what was funny about that either.

medianewbie · 22/07/2022 00:29

The Poo cube thread (something about a trolley & a conveyor belt?). Cameron & the cock comment absolutely yes. The Spoonyfucker thread.

Ermagerd! The Quern!

When a zombie thread outed the perfect posh central London mum as a totally lying nanny who didn't even have kids
I was devastated to miss this. I always suspected they were a troll but the posts were so entertaining. I miss them!

ifIwerenotanandroid · 22/07/2022 00:32

'When you think about it my cooking must be shite'

said by the woman whose husband ate a fat ball (which he'd watched his kids make) because he thought she'd made some snacks & left them in the fridge for him. He complained that it was a bit greasy.

RosalindsAFuckingNightmare · 22/07/2022 00:33

When a young man graciously started a thread about how to use the interweb one poster said she was glad he'd turned up as she'd just been bashing the keyboard with her tits.

bloodybluemoon · 22/07/2022 00:39

When there was a thread about the most embarrassing dates a woman described one of her experience when a bloke came and picked her up in a really old merc that looked like it belonged to saddam hussein.

There was another one where I think it was the op with her horrendous haircut where she said she looked like colonel Kaddafi.

And of course the wailing woman in the Sistine chapel 😂

chubbachub · 22/07/2022 00:40

Mine was the poster who was trying to figure out who was throwing potatoes at her window and why. The thread turned into a load of hilarious potato puns, with a highlight being "Hope you get it sautéed, OP".

'When I had DS, DH kept reading about push presents and decided to get me a chocolate brown faux fur waist length gilet. I was a size 18-20 even without the effect breastfeeding was having on my boobs, so this thing was skintight. I looked like someone had shaved the legs and face of a small fat bear to try to sneak it into a dog grooming show'
