What replies always sticks in your mind from MN?

I’ve seen threads before about what OPs you remember for whatever reason, but thought I’d ask what replies have stuck with you?

Every morning and night when I wash my face I remember a comment on a thread about hot cloth cleansing where someone replied “I’ve been hot cloth cleansing ever since it was called washing your face with a flannel”. Always makes me chortle 😂

OP posts:

I once made the mistake of saying what my salary was on one of those threads. Two posters replied and suggested I went full time instead.

I was full time ☹️

I'm sorry but I proper laughed at this!

I bet we earn about the same amount (pittance Grin) and I read some of the salary threads on here with an open mouth.

Fuck off to the other side of fuck and when you get there fuck off some more.

"'Juggle them' in answer to a post asking what to do with three avocados"

It was mangos, unless there was another thread involving avocados. The OP was not amused. One of my all time favourite threads.

Yeah I always liked that one but only when it was appropriate 😀 (and I normally hate swearing on MN, the tedious WTF, the c* word, and of course the classic MN “I’m fuming” (usually because they cooked their carrots a minute too long …)

In response to someone not being sure who the father was of her unborn baby - during covid - that they hadn't that many people inside their house in 6 months let alone their vagina 😂

Rogue1001MNer · 17/06/2023 20:10

From when I was new on here

"May his next poo be a hedgehog"

Brilliant

I wouldn't assume they're all being truthful.

”You utter, utter nob”

ZeppelinTits · 17/06/2023 20:36

The first time someone used the term 'Twunt'. Fabulous.

Dittany, over a decade ago when she said simply 'Just leave him, love' on a long running thread about my emotionally abusive ex. I did. Great decision.

stayathomer · 17/06/2023 20:38

I like the flannel one op😅

helpfulperson · 17/06/2023 20:39

I can't remember the exact quote but something about about 'If you were truly a sadomasocist you'd have posted on AIBU'

cptartapp · 17/06/2023 20:39

The Sistine Chapel thread.
"This is funny. Tell us more stuff".

Fallenangelofthenorth · 17/06/2023 20:43

What's the "I am Canadian" thread about?

SandyLand · 17/06/2023 20:46

Is it just me or are these “memorable” recollections as dull as drapes?

BIWI · 17/06/2023 20:47

MrsTerryPratchett · 17/06/2023 18:16

I AM CANADIAN.

I miss @stewiwgriffinsmum

Me too!

MeinKraft · 17/06/2023 20:47

The one where a poster found a blue pill under her bed and posted a picture of it panicking that her husband was taking viagra and cheating on her but it turned out to be a Smint

80thkat · 17/06/2023 20:48

In a thread where the OP asked if she should be scrubbing herself when showering (instead of just letting the water bounce off), someone replied that she might want to wash her bum from time to time, because "that's where poo comes from".

ClusterFuckIt · 17/06/2023 20:49

I AM CANADIAN for me too 😂😂

BIWI · 17/06/2023 20:50

@SandyLand I'm guessing that you had to be there Smile

AtomicBlondeRose · 17/06/2023 20:53

This wasn’t from MN but another forum, but there was a spate of people asking things like “I have a pork chop, three artichokes and a mushroom, what shall I make for dinner” and one poster always wrote “throw it in the bin and get a Chinese”, which has now become my standard response to anyone asking a similar question.

Axolotlrulestheworld · 17/06/2023 20:55

Sorry can't remember a particular quote but the standout one for me was a parking one where the op was waiting to go out to Toby Carvery and everyone fell on to be with her brother

Axolotlrulestheworld · 17/06/2023 20:57

In love with her brother arghh!

fuckip · 17/06/2023 20:57

I loved being a Mortificado back in the day Grin
