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 also kept saying she cooks from scratch and everything is homemade

She bought a chicken which kept her family fed for the whole week's holiday.

She ran out of the loos because she thought she saw a transwoman? And then tried to engage you on the issue 🤣

She absentmindedly stood bottomless next to the pool whilst blowing up an inflatable, and her DH shouted "YOUR MINGE" to alert her to this?

drunkelephant83 · 11/05/2026 16:41

You heard her shout LTB to a woman who’s husband wouldn’t give her a euro?

Blondiney · 11/05/2026 16:41

Was she on glue?

KeyLimeCake · 11/05/2026 16:42

Was her four year old reading War and Peace?
Was she berating the complete stranger on the next sun lounger for never having learnt to drive?

drunkelephant83 · 11/05/2026 16:43

or did she have her ducks in a row?

Cluelessmam · 11/05/2026 16:43

Was her DH out cycling? Did she have a cheque book? Or were you present in the Sistene Chapel when she snapped and farted?

midJulytarget · 11/05/2026 16:45

Did she say something quite intriguing and ask a question then disappear in a puff of smoke?

Bjorkdidit · 11/05/2026 16:45

MaCheCazzo · 11/05/2026 16:35

Was she armed with two bottles of bleach, three different sized scrubbing brushes, an industrial container of Dettol, a pack of face masks and some latex gloves?

And complaining that 'it wasn't a holiday for her' because she 'had' to clean their accommodation, despite it being cleaned thoroughly by professional cleaners between each sets of guests.

Yourangduckie · 11/05/2026 16:47

At the bar did she accidentally ask for a penis beaker rather than a extra glass to take up to her room?

Eating a massive salad?

That she couldn't finish...

Forty85 · 11/05/2026 16:52

She said someone can fuck off to the far side of fuck and when they get there they can fuck off some more.

TheGirlWhoLived · 11/05/2026 16:52

Was she screaming at a beautifully decorated ceiling?

InterestingDuck · 11/05/2026 16:52

She ordered a massive salad from the restaurant.

SpaDaysForAll · 11/05/2026 16:53

Did she inhale the buffet each night while claiming she only had a salad?

SpaDaysForAll · 11/05/2026 16:53

She spent all day on her phone while complaining her husband wasn’t pulling his weight with the childcare

TheChosenTwo · 11/05/2026 16:54

Was she ‘shaking’ after a minor altercation when someone politely asked her to move her chair slightly to the left so they could get past?

MagicMagpie · 11/05/2026 16:56

Was she entertaining three pre-schoolers at lunch with verbal games and improving conversation? Did she contain their holiday excitement with a smile and gentle “shush”? Did she look pained at junior iPads at surrounding tables and screaming toddlers running around the restaurant?

Forty85 · 11/05/2026 16:57

Did she tell you to go to A&E NOW

Sourisblanche · 11/05/2026 16:58

Did she correct your SPAG.

ACR7 · 11/05/2026 16:58

Did she say HTH as a condescending mic drop?

Forty85 · 11/05/2026 17:00

Did you see her sitting on her balcony and when you knocked her door she didn't answer it, just incase you were a criminal with ulterior motives and you hadn't called or text her with a weeks notice you were coming?

MegaMewtwo · 11/05/2026 17:01

Was she on a laptop, bashing the keyboard with her tits?

Was it at the pool with a horrified bloke shouting "your minge!!"?

Apologies; I feel I have lowered the tone.
