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.

Balonz

It made me hurt I laughed so much.

Smilelesstalkmore · 09/10/2022 19:48

There was also a thread where a poster said she tried the Mumsnet haircut and ended up looking like Cadfael! It always makes chuckle when I think of it Smile

Smilelesstalkmore · 09/10/2022 19:49

Also the 'Penetration Man' thread where posters recounted the antics of previous boyfriends/sexual partners had me literally crying with laughter!

A few more:-

Penguin bollards
The one where neighbours built a gym in the garden but we’re actually using it as a house. Gymgalow.

The artisan scotch eggs/fat balls for birds one was really genuinely laugh out loud.

There was a series of threads by a young girl who was living with a drug addict DH who was smoking all the family funds and leaving their toddler without a winter coat. She went on to have another baby and then appeared back with a username suggesting she was addicted to codeine. Saddest threads I've ever read for the 2 kids with those parents inflicted on them Sad

The one about the steak dinner

Yeah. I loved that one!

TokyoSushi · 09/10/2022 19:56

Oh my goodness, I've never seen that thread before, wow Flowers

FloorCushion · 09/10/2022 20:00

Ron Johnson’s speaking voice and his wife suddenly appearing to tell everyone off for being so mean.
Her line

“Although seeing how much time you all spend on this I can't believe you are mums. Are you all in institutions?”

has to go down in mumsnet history as one of the best.

ClaudineClare · 09/10/2022 20:02

I really enjoyed Birdie Friend.

Doggiedoodoos · 09/10/2022 20:23

Snapped and farted. I think I had only recently joined the site before I read it and I literally laughed out loud when I did.

ShakeItOff40 · 09/10/2022 20:25

Softzilla - I know she got pregnant and had to stop updating due to legal reasons (I know some people said she was a troll but I’m not sure).

i hope she’s ok.

Isababybel · 09/10/2022 20:30

The one about the "shitting man", at the poster's place of work!

Riverlee · 09/10/2022 20:34

My favourite thread was about fences. The op was due to put up a new fence, and their neighbour reminded her that the ‘nice’ side should be on the neighbours side.

There followed several pages were people argued that this was the law, or good etiquette to do this, even though quite early on it was established that there was no law, and the op, as the fence erector, could decide which side of the fence she had (unless fence was next to a public road, for example).

I wondered why Penis Beaker from 2013 was trending, then I spotted this!

cheapskatemum · 09/10/2022 20:55

I don't think anyone's mentioned the Pom Bear thread yet, that was one of my all-time favourites, along with DH ate my fat ball and the OLD one, being stood up at the penguin park.

CrabbitBastard · 09/10/2022 21:02

Angela Hernandez was exactly the plot of an episode of Miranda.

Either Miranda was the OP or she completely ripped the story off mumsnet (and is a mumsnetter herself!)

Penis beaker is my favourite

LemonadePockets · 09/10/2022 21:05

penis beaker was memorable 😂

snapped & farted - I don’t even remember what this was about but I remember laughing to hard I think I went blue!

bippityboppity87 · 09/10/2022 21:10

Fly space and her bag of Pringles. I don't think we ever found out what the fly space was?

CuriousCatfish · 09/10/2022 21:10

Penis beaker was one of the worst threads ever on MN.

TheNinthLock · 09/10/2022 21:11

For me was Maude (and Mile for Maude) and Misdee’s Pink Peter.

And Booble Plate (it had fallen behind the toilet).

The fashion fails thread.

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

I’ve recently had a fringe and some layers cut in my hair. Every time I dry it, I look in the mirror and think “Suzy Quattro’s fat nan” Grin

HuntingoftheSnark · 09/10/2022 21:21

I really laughed at one about seasonal purchasing of duvet sets, by the OP and her friend. It was the questions put the the OP and her answers that made it amusing.

katepilar · 09/10/2022 21:28

Many years ago there was this thread "My Au Pair had sex on my new silk rug"...

KeepOutingMyselfAnotherNameChange · 09/10/2022 21:40

My asd/adhd teen knows I like mumsnet and told me to read an AIBU thread once that had loads of comments on it, then declared he created an account and made up the post 🤣 I don't think he's done it since. Sorry guys.

leccybill · 09/10/2022 21:43

An AIBU about a pram in the communal hallway.
