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).

You mentioned a “vagina owner” and she thumped you?

She didn't want to leave the wet beach towels out on the balcony overnight in case spiders rubbed their willies on them?

She ordered a Hamwich, then snapped and farted?

Kinfluencer · 11/05/2026 15:30

She was teeny tiny, ate 2 olives and was full for the rest of the week?

ooohreallly · 11/05/2026 15:30

She put the divider on a shopping conveyer belt the ‘wrong way round’

purplecorkheart · 11/05/2026 15:31

She had a little old Korean lady with her who she meet when the lady's son came to collect a summerhouse.

Shedmistress · 11/05/2026 15:31

She told a long hilarious tale at the next table, of a neighbour who owns a toilet brush?

murasaki · 11/05/2026 15:31

She was not getting along with her MIL.

Sherwoody · 11/05/2026 15:32

I’d say Old Mumsnet : has no wrinkles and didnt feel hungry, deep into a long serious novel while her DH taught the dc’s beach volleyball, beautiful toenails. Or was it New Mumsnet: eating chocolate and crisps, drinking and blatantly baiting the fat shamers with her os belly, while playing music loudly because it’s her right, and staring at her phone In righteous indignation?

TootsMaHoots · 11/05/2026 15:32

She was making seven days of meals for a family with one chicken?

That was such a good thread.

BunnyLake · 11/05/2026 15:32

She had a row of ducks following her about?

Lomonald · 11/05/2026 15:33

Was it her Birkenstocks or did she ask someone if they meant to be so rude ?

HA😀

I didn’t realise someone actually beat me to that on the first page 🤦‍♀️😁

GumballsAndGobstoppers · 11/05/2026 15:35

She had one glass of wine and that was more than enough for the whole week..

You saw her in a circus saying "Those aren't my monkeys"?

😃

BunnyLake · 11/05/2026 15:36

She asked you how old you thought she looked?

Northermcharn · 11/05/2026 15:38

Thinking about it and I love all of these posts, they are making me laugh.

I bet the actual answer is she either said 'LTB' in a conversation (already mentioned) or 'Am I Being Unreasonable'..

Tell us op!

Or brandished a child's drawing and asked how old the artist was

WhereHasMyPlanetGone · 11/05/2026 15:38

She was wearing a voluminous, sister wives tent dress? Size 6, obviously.

Trint · 11/05/2026 15:39

She told you her family were not going to bother with supper but just have 'picky bits' instead.

diddl · 11/05/2026 15:40

She knew someone who had a key to a house in Mexico?

HideousKinky · 11/05/2026 15:41

She referred to a hot tub as a sex pond?
