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 posted the mouse link the last time there was a thread about best threads & a whole new audience read it!

It's the relationships ones that always stay with me. There's a long-running thread (s) about a mum & her estranged (mostly) DD who's in a desperate relationship. OP is very eloquent but it's so painful.

Haven't seen an update for a while. Really sadly her DH passed away in recent years, she has dealt with a lot (has two other DDs where all is well, thankfully)

I rarely find the 'hilarious' ones that engaging, after the original joking eg 'snapped & farted', 'Sistine' and if I never saw the words 'penis beaker' again it would be too soon.
One that I did like & remember was the dad feeding his DC badger.... My kids' dad fed them badger www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3425075-My-kids-dad-fed-them-badger

EMIN ( earth mother I'm not) , the most amazing and inspiring threat I've ever read. It's been put into legends.

@Invisableperson it was amazing wasnt it , what a wonderful woman. I remember her daughter updating that she had passed away.

The poster arguing that bread and milk were NOT ESSENTIAL. How we could put cheese in coffee instead.

The penny dropped for me that people had gone batshit.

Memorable for the wrong reasons.

The poor poster who woke up to find her two year old had died in the night. Absolutely heart wrenching.

Eileen101 · 09/10/2022 18:32

Oh and the religious fridge. And penis beaker.

There was a religious fridge?
is that related to Devil's Avocado?

I just remembered sex lube and a fish slice, but not what the thread was about.

EmmaH2022 · 09/10/2022 18:49

How did I forget "cancel the cheque"!

AbsolutelyNebulous · 09/10/2022 18:52

Has my fridge found religion was the first thread I ever properly cracked up laughing at, it was brilliant. Freezus of Nazareth, the suggestion to see if it would reject sausages and so many more witty comments Smile.

Nowadays of course some self appointed head girl type would be on straight away to report everybody for offending all religions, accuse OP of stealth boasting as some posters only had a standard fridge with no ice maker and remind us all of our privilege because some people in temporary accommodation could only dream of having any kind of kitchen appliance…

Brian from Hull was also properly laugh out loud hilarious. Smart, sharp, witty responses from poster after poster and the name changes that followed were just inspired Grin.

FourChimneys · 09/10/2022 18:53

The two I remember most are the one about the fat balls. I think it's in Classics. Some of the replies were hilarious. And a desperately sad one where a little girl was dying (I'm so sorry I don't remember her name but it began with A) and a lot of posters stayed on the thread all night to support the mum.

I’d forgotten sex lube and a fish slice Grin. Wasn’t it titled something like How to get a melted (whatever) off the hob or something fairly innocuous like that? OP I think had let a pot boil over and it had hardened?

sjxoxo · 09/10/2022 18:57

I’ve only been here for a little while so it was quite recent but one that I still find funny was a woman who had been boiling ALL bath water for her PFB who was, by the time she posted, a few months old! 😂 she had told her mum it was ‘bathtime tonight & better start boiling the water now’ and her mum couldn’t believe her ears. She wondered if it was a wind up so posted a thread!!! x

One of the first I ever read on here by "UnlikelyAmazonian". Her husband left and moved to Thailand without a word. Came out later he'd been completely screwing up at work, owed loads of money etc and just left her and their child. I was gobsmacked by it. Couldn't believe such a dreadful husband could exist.

I few years later my own marriage ended with enough similarities to be pretty uncanny. I regularly think of her and her boy - who just be an adult now - and wonder how they are.

stillvicarinatutu · 09/10/2022 19:01

The fridge one ! If forgotten about that !

One that really made me laugh was a Scottish poster who had made fudge and offered it to her postman

But the thread title was "why won't the postman eat my fud " - it appears that a simple spelling error had hilarious consequences 😂

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 09/10/2022 19:01

I also remember one by a woman who would always eat the last bean or pea or other item of food on her plate because she felt sorry for the bits of food otherwise left alone when the others had been eaten.

A surprising number of people agreed and said they do the same.
