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 😂

Oh the cat/teddy one reminds me of somebody who had been either doped up on sedating medications, or possibly just drunk (she was vague), and had found a “baby hedgehog” in her house, and had spent all evening petting it, feeding it and caring for it. Woke up in the morning to discover it was actually a tassel that had come off a cushion.

Snorting with laughter at this one

One where someone was asking for advice about wanting to leave their partner who was abusive but would threaten suicide every time she said she was leaving. Poster replied something like, yeah I had one who used to say that… “spoiler alert, the bastard is very much still alive”

I nearly spat out my tea. That's hilarious!

A post about :

They may be your best friend or your favourite person but if you watch the way they treat other people and find it wanting one day it will be you.

That's the gist not a direct quote. I thought it was so insightful

Yeah. I think about it a lot.

The woman who meant to call her unhappy toddler in the GP waiting room with a cheery ‘Come on you whiny tinker’ and instead trilled ‘Come on you tiny wanker’

That or DENTINOX. Bruxeur was my fave.

Ohhhh
I so needed that laugh

Furries · 27/07/2023 03:05

Got a feeling the actual OP/thread may not have been genuine, but one of the replies made me laugh.

It involved an unexpected penis in the bath photo. It was one of the responses that said along the lines of “a penis bobbing in the water just makes me think of a cold Duncan Goodhew”.

I don’t care about the rest of the thread, that response has just always tickled me.

I forget what the thread was about, but a poster replied with a story about something that involved a time when she was "just defrosting some peas". Everyone asked her what possible reason their could be to defrost peas, but she never responded. Why did she defrost them?! 😢

It wasn't me but I did used to defrost peas.

I had pet mice and they loved a pea, they would eat them like an apple.

The thread where a young male decided he was going to offer computing advice to the older women.

Some spectacular replies in that, including one where someone claimed to have just bashed their norks on the computer.

Also Brian from Hull, the entire thread.

GinJeanie · 27/07/2023 06:42

I've never been able to find it but there was a thread about animals being frisky in zoos/safari parks.
A poster told a story of a straight-laced couple who were at a safari park and had to endure a chimp going for a happy finish on their car windscreen. Apparently, the woman became distraught and started screaming "make it stop Gerald!". Subsequent posters ran with the phrase in true MN style 😁

DoesItHaveKosovo · 27/07/2023 06:59

Suzi Quattro’s fat nan. I read this thread regularly for a laugh.

More recently, the poster who rinsed her mooncup in the toilet had me open-mouthed in horror.

POmonstermunch · 11/08/2023 16:42

Some are just bonkers.

some posters just repeat any old shit they’ve read on here as fact.

any involving the word narcissist

DeeCeeCherry · 07/03/2024 05:20

The Scots poster who replies 'did ye, aye?' 😂
to posts you just know are Jackanorys.

WarmSausageTea · 17/06/2023 18:18

In response to a complaint about swearing on MN…

’off you fuck, then, cuntychops’.

Is frequently said in this house.

One that I always remember with horror was the woman who said she'd never been sexually assaulted.

She then sent on to say a boyfriend had once tried to have sex with her while she was asleep.

It was around the time of the 'me too'.

MoonWoman69 · 07/03/2024 11:27

My favourite ever is the thread about whether we should be washing inside our vaginas, as in douching, which then led onto how we all wash and which bits get what treatment! There were a lot of comments back and forth and one poster said "I don't jetwash the fucker"!!! I howled for days over that one!!!

007DoubleOSeven · 07/03/2024 13:10

The woman who asked if she was rude yo take food from her DILs plate and give it to her adult son in case he was still hungry.

1000 replies telling her she was unbelievably rude to which she decided it wasnt and that we were all mad women who didn't love their children properly

gannett · 07/03/2024 13:21

The OP was some nonsense woo about what happens to our spirits in heaven if they'd been divorced, I can't remember. The first reply was just "Nothing happens. They're dead"

Rogue1001MNer · 18/06/2023 20:10

That's awful.

The pandemic didn't really bring out the best in us as a race, did it!

Damn right the pandemic brought out the worst in many people. And tbh I'm not sure society as a whole has completely recovered their sense of community and cohesiveness sadly.

27Mankinis · 07/03/2024 13:52

Sorry... my post was not light hearted. Grin

But I have been reminded of some corker threads!

minou123 · 07/03/2024 14:03

The one that sticks in my mind is a poster who wrote an "open letter" to the other women, her husband had been cheating with.

It went on and on about how the OW was a terrible person and had taken a happily married man away from his loving wife and family.
The poster then started gloating that now the husband had come back to her and she had won.

The first comment was
Congratulations Op, you won a bag o' shite

QueenVerilas · 07/03/2024 16:33

The first comment was
Congratulations Op, you won a bag o' shite

That's brilliant! So true!

Mystro202 · 07/03/2024 19:53

The one asking why , if leggings are so comfy , don't men wear them and a poster replied " not enough room for the twig & berries " 🤣

Mystro202 · 07/03/2024 19:55

LucyLongbody · 24/07/2023 19:14

Oh and another about two women in wheelchairs having a scrap.

Poster comes on and says something like 'Are you in Scotland OP?'

Those Scots are always up to no- good 🤣

RainbowZebraWarrior · 07/03/2024 20:05

I can't remember what the thread was, but someone replied with

"Oh no! I shall run screaming through the streets and eat some tinned peaches with a camping spoon"

When I read it, I imagined Julian Clary saying it.

fabio12 · 07/03/2024 20:21

I've laughed so much at these and remembered a few.

Brian from Hull and the Yoni. Every time I hear 'Only The Lonely' I imagine some bearded man in a dark room in Hull perspiring and singing along, replacing the last word...

The fat ball the husband ate and IIRC even had seeds stuck in his teeth and didn't twig.

Always thankful to the poster on Lone Parents who advised me not to push too hard get DD's dad on her Birth Certificate. He didn't show up (says it all) but he would certainly have used that to make our lives a living hell if he had known what power it would have given him.

LighthouseCat · 07/03/2024 20:27

There was one where the poster was deeply embarrassed because her cat had just walked in with a whole roast chicken in its mouth. She was pretty certain it must be the neighbour's Sunday lunch

SpikyCoconut · 07/03/2024 20:32

When someone had wanted to sell her table and chairs but someone came and only wanted the chairs, so she was stuck with just a table. She described it as;

'Sitting there like a cunt'. 😂

RoseLavenderBlue · 07/03/2024 21:53

‘Que?’

(the poster had asked about driving a manual car versus automatic, but spelt manual as Manuel several times throughout the post.)
