What happened?! It’s gone poof, how was it a troll? Where did they get the pics from?

(MNHQ I know this is a TAAT but I need answers!)

I was in the middle of reading it too! Why do people bother making this shit up? Baffles me.

JustJoinedRightNow · 29/10/2022 11:48

I was too! I loved the deletion message that was posted.
Where do people come up with this stuff??

velvetblanket · 29/10/2022 11:50

Maybe MI5 pulled it cos secrets act and shizzle 😜

RewildingAmbridge · 29/10/2022 11:50

It happened in Belgium in September , it was in the newspapers. Photos were not of OPs garden

LostThePot · 29/10/2022 11:51

Someone posted on the thread that it was photos from Belgium in September.

I’d still like to know if it was from a plane or satellite!

Excellent. In fairness, that was a great troll thread

On a slightly separate note, it would be so great if MNHQ could leave troll threads up for a bit but closed so we can at least read them unfolding

I assume someone did a reverse image search.
I was so gutted, was halfway through and really wanted to know what the part was off!

It’s probably the same troll that claimed their cousin ‘literally came back from the dead. And that their uncle had identified the body but knew it wasn’t him but said it was anyway.

and the one who posted that their sister was dating her uncle

and several other ‘oh my god this situation is so shocking give me attention posts’

I see it

Ohyoudodoyou · 29/10/2022 11:55

I was loving that too... funny kind of kick to get out of it, I get that pervs post about urine etc but why would you be bothered posting about a bit of aul metal knocking of your garage roof slates?

ahunf · 29/10/2022 11:56

Ohh gone now

It’s not nearly as weird as the one where the OP wants to know if Prince William has a big Willy! Weird weird people.

Missed the original thread - just a guess - was it this incident?

I expect this will go poof as a TAAT, but here is the original story!

ahunf · 29/10/2022 11:59

Yes those were the pics.

ahunf · 29/10/2022 12:00

Absolute bloody weirdo.

HarrowCatlady · 29/10/2022 12:03

Did they just use the pics and pretend it had happened to them?

Wow, they must be bored. At least with the pervy troll ones you can see what they get out of it... but this? Just strange

Agreed, or stick them in a Works of Troll Fiction Topic

BestIsWest · 29/10/2022 12:12

A Works of Troll Fiction topic is an amazing idea MzHz

CuriousCatfish · 29/10/2022 12:12

Did the Op seriously expect anyone to believe the thread?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 29/10/2022 12:16

Couldn't MNHQ create a Topic called Trolls and move the threads to there rather than just deleting them?
(unless the thread is offensive)

I thought this the other night! I was reading one that was clearly a troll (about her DH not wanting her sister round!) and I still really want to know where it was going to go lol
