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

Everyone here commenting as if ‘I made an owl sound’ didn’t happen.

Yep, that gets my vote! That one was comedy gold.

”Snapped and farted” anyone? 😆

Hahahahahahahaha I forgot this existed

That's the inspiration for my username!

My personal favourite will always be "I have IBS" as a response to people asking the OP what the typo was supposed to be on the snapped and farted thread!

My inspiration too 😂😂

“I told MIL SHE was the carcass” 😂

That was one of my favourites 😂

Not very deep and meaningful but it makes me giggle whenever I think about it. There was a thread about buying an item of clothing then realising that you look shit in it and someone commented that a jacket made them look like "Suzi Quattro's fat nan". There were other brilliant quotes on that thread - I think it mau be in classics.

There was a comment about how wearing a pashmina making a poster feel like the last steerage passenger off the Titanic that still makes me snort to myself every time I think of it

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 22/07/2022 14:17

I can't remember it all but there was a thread not too long ago, where the OP's son had a talking 'birdie' badge that could predict things.

I'll try and find it...

pantherrose · 22/07/2022 14:31

A thread that had me in stitches was "Help, I'm an adult and I can't turn my shoes off!"
OP in her 40s had small feet and had bought some great looking trainers in a child's size. She wore into town for the first time without realizing that they had multicolored chaser lights running round the bottom of them lighting up each step....😂😂

ForeverandAlways4 · 22/07/2022 14:44

Reading these threads and I'm cracking up. Someone come save me 😂😂😂😂

Ha! Boil in the vag curry was me!

My favourite is still " It's your husband's sperm, not wheelie bin juice."

Hahahaha

Do you know what I'm still at work and I can't continue reading these. I'm trying so hard to not cackle but failing miserably. Ill pick this up when I clock off 😂😂😂

MountVesuvius · 22/07/2022 15:17

Years ago there was a thread about badly dressed people and teaching them to dress properly. A poster chimes in with:
“You only thought you'd taught me a lesson. I tossed my mullet, hitched up my wranglers and wrote cunt in the dirt on the back of your car.”

JohnsShirt · 22/07/2022 15:59

Is that you Paul?

From the thread about the accidentally painted pigeon.

drinkallthecoffee · 22/07/2022 16:12

That M&S thread recently with the steak cut chips. Unfortunately it got zapped before I'd read much of it. Was obviously a troll but why not keep it around for the laughs?!

AlphaAlpha · 22/07/2022 16:16

"She's a cunt for the butter"

I can't even remember the context now, it was a poster describing an elderly relative I think.

The sentence makes me chuckle away to myself often, pretty much every time I use butter...

Frazzledmummy123 · 22/07/2022 16:28

Someone posted on one of the many recent non-driver bashing threads that their ex sitting in the passenger seat of a car and not the driving seat gave them the ick.
Okaaayyy then 😳. That definitely was a MN wtf moment.

I remember that vividly. OP was standing behind a couple of older, well-to-do ladies in a Dublin department store. They were talking about the chef Darina Allen.

"Now I love Darina, but she's an awful cunt for the butter" 😂😂

I think this was two old ladies overheard discussing James Martin, generally positively, although one observed that he was “a cunt for the butter” in his recipes 🧈

"Pom Bear, anyone...?"

In Classics and worth finding.

SirChenjins · 22/07/2022 16:59

So many, but the 2 I often think about are from posters who used to spout absolute drivel. One was from a poster who had absolutely no problem with anyone watching porn on a train, she was most vociferous in her defence of this, and if someone didn’t like it they were welcome to look the other way. Vom.
The other was a thread started by a poster who really didn’t like her teenage DSC coming to visit because they wore the wrong labels, and she was asking how she could get them into the right ones. There were labels which were acceptable in her circle, and ones which were not. Her DSC fell into the latter camp and she was most displeased 🙄

imsanehonest · 22/07/2022 17:03

Don't know if it's been mentioned already, but there was a comment on someone farting and it sounded like it ended with a question mark 😆

Also the thread about a woman who would turn up to wave poms poms at a group of men going for a cycle on a Sunday?

Popsicle33 · 22/07/2022 17:35

There was a hilarious farting thread that I still giggle about. Poster was putting a baby in the cot. The baby let out a little fart. The poster laughed and did machine gun farts then turned round and guests were waiting to say goodbye 😂

bloodybluemoon · 22/07/2022 18:10

There was a thread about an op buying a clothing item and expecting to look like someone/something (I forgot what she expected to look like) and in reality she turned out to look like a middle aged karate instructor. I've looked for the thread and can't find it but her description made me lol

youlightupmyday · 22/07/2022 18:23

The sisters Chapel was thread was at best, irritating. Never found that funny.

The pom bear saga was what drew me I to MN and I am Angela Hernandez and Civil Libert Loberty for me. 😄

The thread about the poor woman whose child had suffered life changing injuries in an accident, where her husband had made a critical error. I really felt for her and still think of them all. MN was awesome then for her and I hoped it helped her a little.

Same for the women trapped who post in relationships, I love that they get access to people who will listen and advise.
