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).

This thread is absolutely hilarious!!!

Every single post (except the OP’s response which makes no sense) has made me laugh!!!

Cracking up at the idea of a woman walking along with loads of ducks following behind her in a neat little line whilst she’s munching on a salad and diagnosing random children she passes as being neurodiverse 🤣

We need the laughing emoji back!!!

Did she look like Suzie Quatro’s fat nan?

Oh man this made me actually laugh out loud! That poster really created a visual 😂

Was she the one going around asking if she should eat a shop bought sandwich after leaving it out of the fridge for a nano second?

PetulaClark · 12/05/2026 08:57

Did she make a NC-less payment?

peachescariad · 12/05/2026 09:15

Asking complete randoms if 1 cherry tomato, 3 cocktail sausage rolls, a round of jam sandwiches and some carrot sticks (for the vegetarians and vegans) is enough food for 50 people coming for lunch...

Has she got an elf on a shelf doing things on her balcony railings are the family all wearing matching Christmas pyjamas .

Did the whole restaurant clap loudly after she’d delivered a witty put-down to a fellow guest who was trying to take to take her reserved table?

MiaKulper · 12/05/2026 11:54

She picks up that your eldest is your SDC, accuses your DP of being a cocklodger who was only after a nanny with a fanny and told you that you should have brought SDC's half-sibling with you.

Nah. Thats Netmums 😃

There was a thread on here yesterday.

You overheard my husband saying “They’re drinking Chicken Wine” in the Spanish restaurant. “ “They must have brought it themselves”, he adds.

( They did not. It was on the wine list.)

Chunkychips23 · 12/05/2026 17:47

Did she constantly refer to her husband and kids as DH and DC?

CaptainMyCaptain · 12/05/2026 17:50

Will we ever find out?

NameWithChange · 12/05/2026 17:54

For God’s sake !!!!! TELL US!

TheZanyScroller · 12/05/2026 17:56

She brought her rubber ducks and placed them in a row in front of her.

Not until we have entirely self- destroyed I think! The idea is to mock ourselves into oblivion!

Northernladdette · 12/05/2026 17:58

Was she telling someone they were entitled, to leave the bastard and go non contact? 🤣

MoonWoman69 · 12/05/2026 17:59

Wash she jet washing the fucker? Did she tell you to use your words? Did she argue with a comment you'd made on what she'd said? Did she ask you where the Wirral was? Did she let her dog piss up a bin?

SlightlyVintage · 12/05/2026 18:00

She announced to the world she was ‘solo parenting’ as her partner was playing golf…..whilst telling Fleur to not draw on her Boden floral dress ?

Twiglets1 · 11/05/2026 15:15

Did she ask AIBU as she reserved her sunbed with a towel?

😂😂😂

Soberinthecity · 12/05/2026 18:12
