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 screamed at the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Awww. I was gonna say that 😂

Mylovelygreendress · 11/05/2026 15:42

A whole glass ??

She referred to her DH and DC and how much they were missing the DDog.

She was reading mn on her phone 😐

She heard your surname being called and she snorted "Boswell!" and laughed.

AInightingale · 11/05/2026 15:45

Were you knocking at her hotel room door for ages and getting no reply?

Did she go apoplectic when a child bounced a ball on the ground within earshot? Or tell you that their joint income was £100,000 and that they were feeling the pinch?

CraftandGlamour · 11/05/2026 15:46

Did she call someone a spoonyfucker?

amylou8 · 11/05/2026 15:46

She shouted DD4 and DS6 come along now time for lunch across the pool.

StTropezcrisps · 11/05/2026 15:46

Was she discussing the NHS and how it's on its knees & that school teachers were leaving in their droves?

murasaki · 11/05/2026 15:38

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

😂

BlessicaBlimpson · 11/05/2026 15:47

She said ‘Did you mean to be so rude?’

Devilsmommy · 11/05/2026 15:47

Her husband was doing t rex arms in a supermarket 😂

Megifer · 11/05/2026 15:47

Did you overhear her saying she earned six figures in a completely irrelevant context?

Snaletrale · 11/05/2026 15:48

Wasn’t there something about a bat?

MamaSideBored · 11/05/2026 15:48

Did she fast forward to the end of the holiday?

Cat3rpillar7 · 11/05/2026 15:48

Roka rucksack!

God I really hope so 😂

MyNameIsTina · 11/05/2026 15:51

She mentioned a well known Mumsnet phrase (naive ham, cutted up pear, penis beaker), referenced a Mumsnet classic thread, or you saw her looking at Mumsnet on her phone. Or all three. Whilst wearing the Mumsnet scarf.

LadyLadidah · 11/05/2026 15:52

Oh i have another clue

Did she start asking randoms "could I be pregnant?" But refused to take a test?

Whatwillneverbe · 11/05/2026 15:52

She called her kid a tiny wanker?

Megifer · 11/05/2026 15:53

Did you see her pointing at a wolf coat?

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 11/05/2026 15:54

You overheard her planning to murder her MiL?
