To wonder what the oddest response you've ever received on Mumsnet has been?

[Vintagejazz]

Have you ever received a really strange response to a post on here?

I remember about a year ago posting about someone at work who talked constantly about her child, on and on and was I being unreasonable to find it a bit very annoying. I got the usual mix of YABU, YANBU, all perfectly logical responses. Then someone posted 'YABU. Maybe she's nervous', disappeared and never posted again on the thread .

Just wondering what odd or illogical responses you've had to posts on here?

Bastard Ghandi

Didn't someone take that as a username too? Was awesome.

Ah, the supersoaker thread. Never has the phrase "Are you on glue bitch?" been so fitting.

You lot have memories like fucking elephants, I can hardly remember the threads I was on last week.

I only remember the very good or the very bad threads.

All the others pass me by in a haze of words.

I remember being told there was "proof" I was a troll because I didn't know all the benefits I was entitled to claim.

I sometimes remember the ones where people poke the embers after a spat has seemingly ended.

You lot have memories like fucking elephants, I can hardly remember the threads I was on last week.

Last week? By the end of the day if MN didn't have the "I'm on" button I'd never remember where I posted.

Although, I still do get a chuckle at the histrionics whenever I think of the baby ear piercing threads.

i think most people remember the posters who've stung them in some way - I remember being told I was in an abusive relationship because I'd (accidentally) shut dps head in a fridge door in an argument. And he shouted at me, and I left.

The poster was adamant. I can't take her seriously now, she sees DV everywhere (and she's MN royalty)

wreckingball I would imagine the "horse in a lift" image came from the file The Commitments, so if you watch that you can see it.

"You're not taking that thing in there?!"
"Ah but the stairs'll kill him"

at shutting DPs head in the fridge door.
I must try that one next time we have a barney.

I thought all the Royalty had abdicated.

Ah, the first reference to MN Royalty, took longer than I expected.

Half this thread is not "odd comments" but "people who have disagreed with me" comments

YY, Fanjo, although I do find people who disagree with me odd TBH

Me too. The bastards

Okay but
people who disagree with me = meh

People who find some tenuous fragment of my comment to twist into something controversial and bizarrio = odd

Erm captainmummy HOW exactly do you "accidentally" shut someone's head in a fridge? not that I'm planning on doing it of course

I loved the mangoes one. If was something like:

Op: I've got 3 mangoes what shall I do with them?
Poster: juggle them?
Op: fuck off with your stupid jokes nobody else gets this when when post seriously asking for advice. I'm going to have to namechange now because of you as I'll always be known as the mango woman!

Mangoes was short, but so so sweet.

Anyone else worrying that they were the ones posting the odd answers on an off day, but can't remember?

This is why I delete more comments than I post.

I once commented on a thread about food quality/production etc that I tried to buy meat and fish that was sustainable and ethically produced wherever possible.

I got a response that "I was everything that was wrong with the world today"

'Mangoes!' So funny.

Spinderella, you wait until the middle of the argument, when he is looking into the fridge for food (because you haven't cooked for him!) and then, because he is taking so long and leaving the fridge door open while he argues with you, you slam the fridge door. Just add he has spotted what he wants and is leaning in to it.
