What replies always sticks in your mind from MN?

[Sunshinebuttercupsrainbows]

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 😂

One:
There was an horrific case around here some years ago where the children of the family were murdered. It was local and conversations had gone into why.
One of the comments was around why? I have a logical explanation and someone came on and said "ooooh, zero has got it all sewn up now, the police can stand down". It really pissed me off. Especially as at the trial that was the exact reason for what happened. Still bugs me.

Two:
An utterly fab poster who talked me through the newborn days with a reflux baby and exactly what I needed to push for with the consultant. Saved my sanity and months of backwards and forwards. My DD is now 10, but if I spot a post asking the same I always try and pass on what was shared with me.

My forever favourite is always....

"Balonz?

Wtf?"

Perfection.

During lockdown when people were clapping for the NHS & Boris caught Covid and was hospitalised.

Someone asked whether we should 'clap for Boris' too.

The response was "Clapping won't help him - he's not a fucking fairy"

I AM CANADIAN THREAD - bonkers

For comedy value, the Hugoslavia thread.

Personally, @fatedestiny writing a painstaking explanation for me about how to BF newborn DD lying down. My daughter is in Reception now and I still have tears in my eyes at her kindness back then.

The poster who said I am Angela Hernandez...when she wasn't.

It still pops into my head occasionally, I worry that in a stressful work situation I too will be Angela Hernandez.

That sounds like one of the Water Troll's threads

Snapped and farted was hilarious

"He has eaten a fat ball" was a great favourite of mine 😄

That was an outstanding thread.
Anyone who thinks the Sistine Chapel/ snapped and farted were even mildly amusing should read Mortificado.

I can't remember the thread or who posted this response but to me it was pure gold.

"Did you smack your tits on the keyboard and press send?"

I think that frequently reading emails at work

@fuckip that was my thread, I was the OP. Gets less funny in the later pages but the first few pages were good

A thread where a woman said that a penis was an actual loaded gun and she was scared of it.

I also loved when Artandco/art&co (can't remember) got caught out by a reboot of a zombie thread where she mentioned being a nanny.

I don't know but I learnt the terms 'fanjo' and 'javelin-arse' on MN and for those I'm eternally grateful 🤣

A thread about you don't need money to be happy or something along those lines

.." I've seen poor people on holiday and they were smiling"

Anyone who thinks you can be poor and happy have never experienced poverty. It doesn't buy happiness but poverty is traumatising

Always remember

"I'm so sorry Alan"

We use it all the time in our house whenever anyone farts

The thread that my username came from when HoneyDragon was talking about fitbits

Oooh, that might have been me. It’s a phrase I use

There are some corkers on the current "husband cheated last night" thread.

Absolutely not trying to make light of the OPs situation as it's pretty awful and she has every ounce of my sympathy, but apparently she should be taking her husband's trousers to a pharmacist and getting them to scan the...ahem... "stains" with a UV light or preserving the trousers in the loft in a sealed bag a la CSI. Utterly bonkers.

Pom bear anyone?

Solidarity fellow Queen @QueenMortificado ;-)

You can't have LOST a tampon up there, it's your fanny not the bloody euro tunnel.

Or something to that effect.

I often wonder what happened to the ‘but I am getting married in Maui! It’s Maui!’ Poster

When I got my covid vaccine early due to long term health issues then just before my second dose the thing came out about potential risks of the vaccine and blood clots. I was very pro vaccine but worried. I did go onto have the vaccine 2nd dose and 3rd.

Someone said to me : I bet you wish you hadn't jumped the queue now eh?

Reminds me how fucking vile people can be.

The thread about people having sex in the OP's hedge. Someone thought it might have been hedgehogs.

OP replied

I've never heard any of my local hedgehogs ask for a finger in the bum...
