MIne was about someone who had gone to a party and found some woman was trying to sell her saucepans for about £300 EACH.

I don't think she bought any.

Where an ex-policeman was saying that Health Visitors are nothing more than undercover spies and in no way should be allowed in to anybody's house. He was being really, really creepy about it - he really seemed to believe they were employed by the Government Hmm

About twofalls very nasty experience in a shop. Was reading it while BF a newborn DD. She's 4 today so god knows how many threads I have read since.

WhereMyMilk · 20/12/2013 16:19

Was one where the OP was aghast at her builder having a poo in her toilet & someone else asked whether she had waned them to take a shit on the front lawn instead...! I howled with laughter and haven't looked back :)

I can't remember the very first, but one of them was about chicken pox. It started off as a reasonable question and ended up as the most almighty bun fight. It ran to about 3000 posts over 3/4 different threads. One poster told another she hoped her children would die. A long time, popular poster was outed as a troll and banned, but not before she gave out her mobile number for anyone who wanted to check?!. She then continued ranting on her blog, which got linked to in another thread. Several other posters didn't believe she was a troll and flounced (although are back now I think).

I was Shock.

I've not read anything as mad as that since.

Something about poo during pg. I was looking for help!

SauceForTheGander · 20/12/2013 16:28

Which made it into classics

I urge anyone who could do a good laugh over Christmas to indulge yourself in the joy that is this thread.

I was an instant convert.

Bf bottle boards. The kindness was immense.

I'm trying to remember if it was the thread where a women asked if she was BU regarding how to split a caravan vacation between 2 friends. She was bring her younger DD and didn't wanted to split it 4-ways or something like that.

Or it might have been the thread about cake-punching...

The penguin thread

Vajazzler · 20/12/2013 16:39

The first thread I read was an AIBU that nethuns had linked to in their coffee lounge. They told tales of raucous sweary women who were unbelievably mean to others and loved a good argument. I've never looked back!

It was boxing day two years ago, I googled something, can't remember what and just stumbled upon a thread about an MN who was having to do Christmas day all over again on Boxing day, including full Christmas dinner for demanding MIL, only for PIL to turn up very late, having stopped at at pub for lunch before arriving, dinner wasted.

Poor BIL and SIL were unknowingly caught up in it, having unwittingly had lunch with PILs. It was excellent, ran for days with constant updates. MIL was forced to apologize in the end after massive tantrums.

I was hooked and have stayed.

This one about Buffy the Vampire Slayer - I'd actually searched for the site after seeing a piece about the site in Practical Parenting, in an article about Mums who start businesses in order to work from home. Having a thread about Buffy made me positive it was my kind of place.

Blueandwhitelover · 20/12/2013 17:22

Shinyballsandtinsel's thread last year about going out for a meal with her sister in law's children and them running around . It was an eye opener but sadly despite my repeated requests I don't think we have ever heard anything since.

I was on the train. It was by a woman asking whether she WBU to submit university coursework that her husband had - and I quote - "come all over during an argument".

Lord knows I have since tried to find this thread again and can't. I'm sure I didn't dream it. maybe it was net mums? Hmm

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 20/12/2013 17:37

You didn't dream it Pumpkin WinkGrin

PumpkinPositive · 20/12/2013 17:41

You didn't dream it Pumpkin

Oh, thank God. I thought it was a bridge too far even for my depraved fevered imagination. Was it removed?

The other passengers were looking askance at me, obviously thinking I'd received terrible news, on account of my shaking shoulders and tears dripping off my nose. Blush

Gluezilla. I don't even have children, but someone told me about Gluezilla and I've been hooked ever since.

MollyWhuppie · 20/12/2013 17:51

One of the first ones I can remember reading a couple of years ago was where the OP was bridesmaid to a bridezilla who expected her to buy some stupidly expensive shoes and a £50 belt to go on the dress. It was compelling reading as the bride's demands unfolded!

FandangoLaLaLaLaLaLaLaaaa · 20/12/2013 18:02

A thread about the stupidest things you've ever done through tiredness. I then joined the due Dec 2012 antenatal group.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 20/12/2013 23:46

Pumpkin was probably in Chat so just automatically dropped after 90 days.

Well, you'd have wanted it to, wouldn't you?
