How did I recognise a fellow Mumsnetter while in Spain?

I met a mumsnetter in Spain... How did I recognise her? (Just for fun, but I did meet one of us in the wild and there was a recognising factor).

She insisted on cutting her 14 year old child's grape in half so she didn't choke.

She posted something outing about her holiday in Spain on here?

MagicMagpie · 11/05/2026 18:15

Was she staring fixedly at her screen swearing and muttering “It’s frozen AGAIN!”

Angrybird76 · 11/05/2026 18:15

She asked if it was unreasonable that her dog was jumping up with muddy paws? Or thought you were unreasonable because you got annoyed that her dog jumped up with muddy paws? Or asked why dogs are allowed everywhere now? Or asked why her dog wasn't allowed in the playground? Anything about dogs really.

Was she on a surfboard holding a casserole dish? IYKYK

Oh no! Someone suggested a secret Mumsnet signal years ago, and I’ve forgotten what it was. Something about gloves? Carrying one white glove? Dammit — can’t remember.

Shopping divider placed long ways not short

Keepthecat · 11/05/2026 18:17

She was complaining about something, or more probably, someone.

The cashier in the gift shop implied she couldn’t afford a souvenir. So she came back the following day holding a shopping bag from a rival shop screaming ‘big mistake’ at the top of her lungs.

Was she at a wedding in a full length white dress...but not as the bride?

Jane143 · 11/05/2026 18:22

She said LTB?

CrazyWorldBlues · 11/05/2026 18:23

Did she start effing and blinding when you offered her a slice of your homemade lemon drizzle cake?

Beachforever · 11/05/2026 18:23

She had an argument with her DH because he left the towels on the balcony overnight to dry and they got darked on.

Whettlettuce · 11/05/2026 18:25

She snapped and farted

SparkysMagicPiano · 11/05/2026 18:26

Because she asked a question and then fucked off without bothering to give any sort of clarification despite the fact that over 200 people responded?

Rachelshair · 11/05/2026 18:29

Refusing to watch her grandkids because "pressure"

ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmmmmmmmm · 11/05/2026 18:29

Matching dredge coloured shapeless Boden,and hideous sandals that made her look like she had foot problems ?

ProfMummBRaaarrrTheEverLeaking · 11/05/2026 18:35

Did you hear her husband saying he'd much rather be at Center Parcs (going back somewhat but it was bloody hilarious) 😜

EdithBond · 11/05/2026 18:37

She was wearing merch : a t-shirt that said either:

  • LTB (‘wearing the B word’?)
  • CFs
  • AIBU?
  • Ducks in a row
  • MIL
paulhollywoodshairgel · 11/05/2026 18:37

Did she ltb at the pool?

Linenspots · 11/05/2026 18:38

Were you queuing behind her at passport control, and saw over her shoulder that the name had been scrubbed out and replaced with "Namechangedforthis"?

I hope I've won 😁

GameOfJones · 11/05/2026 18:40

Did she put the divider lengthways on the conveyer belt at the supermarket checkout?

paddleslappingwater · 11/05/2026 18:43

She took one look at you and your DH and spat out " LTB"!

Naaah, it was STBEH on the front and then '....doesn't know my ducks are in a row' on the back

She was a screamer?!
