What's yours? I remember the Dumped By Text one a couple of years ago (by the girl who ran in the rain!) She was very inspirational.

I think ones where people believe that others wash the toilet brush in the dishwasher.

The fashion fails thread.

I will never ever not laugh at "Suzi Quattro's fat nan"

TooMuchToDoTooLittleInclination · 09/10/2022 17:28

Some very sad ones too, but I'm not going to list them x

IncompleteSenten · 09/10/2022 17:29

The centerparks one.

Apparently they were furious! 🤣

Multiple threads by jamaisjedors who sometimes posts updates. I think her first thread started in December 2019. She and her soon to be ex live in France.

The tiny elderly Korean lady in my garden thread.

CamsPaisleyCuffs · 09/10/2022 17:35

The poster who asked for recommendations on a folding buggy she was thinking of getting for a holiday abroad for her little one.

No one responded.

3 years later she posted on the same thread along the lines of "Oh yeah, I got that buggy, it was fine"

Immediately some sharp eyed poster says "You do realise you're talking to yourself from 3 years ago"

I think it's in classics. The OP's user name made it even funnier, if she was playing a long game she pulled it off big time. I chuckle every time I think about it.

Screaming at the Sistine Chapel, and the redheaded poster whose first Brazilian wax looked like a fish finger 😂

Ah, and the woman who took her baby to the doctor, and when the doc said "put one hand on his head and the other on his belly", she put the baby's hands there instead of her own....

All left me crying with laughter...

The Mexican House thief was most memorable for being hilarious but there are a couple of very sad threads that will stay with me, too

ChocolateHelps · 09/10/2022 17:42

Surely it has to be

...penis beaker

...cash the cheque

MbatataOwl · 09/10/2022 17:45

There was a thread a few years ago where MP John Hemingway (I think it was him) was absolute blind drunk, arguing and posting abusive messages to certain posters.

It was amazing.

ihatesoaps · 09/10/2022 17:46

Penis beaker thread! Classic 😂

YellowRedBlueGreen · 09/10/2022 17:49

I keep hearing about the penis beaker, what was it about?

One of the first classics I read was the cutted up pear thread. I know some are sick of it now but I was on the Balonz thread at the time and that was really funny.

CharlotteCollinsneeLucas · 09/10/2022 17:51

A relationships thread which went on for four threads, with her gradually realising she needed to get out and going on and doing it. Her situation was a lot like mine had been a few years earlier.

Another really inspirational one was the woman who was left by her two year bf by text - he said don't bother replying. With the support of all the other posters, she never did - his surprise, confusion, irritation etc were just brilliant to see. She was fantastic.

TidyDancer · 09/10/2022 17:52

I don't think Mexican house thief was a whole thread but the story was on a thread in classics about cheeky fuckers. I read the whole thing every so often!

confused162 · 09/10/2022 17:52

I remember a poster who hated dolphins.

This is my most memorable too. But it's the thread that introduced me to Mumsnet after it went viral. Joined to read the full thread and have never looked back. Google it and enjoy.

Igotoworktopaybills · 09/10/2022 17:54

My favourite one was thread about Taken - still makes me laugh when I think about 😂

im sure there are a few I will have to think now

Came on to say Ya Minge but someone beat me to it 😃

One I’ll never forget was a woman who had initially posted because her husband had taken a condom off during sex. Is the thread went on it became more apparent that she was in a coercive relationship. I think about her a lot and hope she’s doing ok. She wrote so eloquently.
