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 Confused.

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

Empire State Building!

I've always 'got' your name Fanjo, I think this is because of my Penguin Book of Jokes :-

::What's Dracula's favourite song?

::Fangs for the memories.

Badoomtish.

Yup, it was that poster, Bendy. She just seems to go about pissing on everyone's chips.
Still, least she took the trouble to reply, hey? Ahem.

Pedant, are you going for your own odd response right there.

TheSpottedZebra · 09/10/2014 16:16

I apologise, I missed a question mark there.
Pedant, I fear this may have upset you.

Mintyy · 09/10/2014 18:57

bendydick - it was me who made a comment on your name. As Fenton so wisely says, you can't have a crude unfunny name like that and expect no one to comment on it.

I'm sorry you think I come across as "a bit prickly and nasty on most threads" but you are of course entitled to your opinion.

Mintyy · 09/10/2014 18:58

Oh gosh, I seem to have a reputation! Shock

AlpacaYourThings · 09/10/2014 19:05

I've never known you to be prickly or nasty Mintyy Confused

Mintyy · 09/10/2014 19:11

Sorry, as Fanjo said.

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 19:12

Shock at the Mintyy-bashing

You are the least prickly or nasty poster and NO WAY do you piss on peoples chips! Shock Shock Shock

TheSpottedZebra · 09/10/2014 19:14

Mintyy your posting can be quite noticeable, yes.
And your comment to bendy on that thread was so uncalled for - why not just click off the thread if you so disliked what you found?

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 19:15

Er Zebra please stop

Thanks ever so

TheSpottedZebra · 09/10/2014 19:17

Right then.

HaroldLloyd · 09/10/2014 19:17

Blimey, using a thread like this to name posters and be arsey, touch of pot kettle black there.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 09/10/2014 19:20

Fenton said it first, wisely :)

Mintyy · 09/10/2014 19:23

It's alright, I outed myself as the nasty person who made a comment about bendydick's user name. It amused me to see me being talked about as if this were a private place where I might not see the goss! I'm not at all bothered, honestly.

HaroldLloyd · 09/10/2014 19:25

Was it the bendy dick, or the cum on the baps?

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 19:26

I know you are made of Stern Stuff, me ole mucker. And TFFT eh.

Fenton · 09/10/2014 19:26

Stoppit Harold.

HaroldLloyd · 09/10/2014 19:30

I just found myself pondering what was preferable out of the two options.

Fenton · 09/10/2014 19:37

Eew

PedantMarina · 09/10/2014 19:44

SpottedZebra - yes, that's exactly what I was going for... Grin

wooooosualsuspect · 09/10/2014 19:48

I think it's not really on to discuss individual posters on this thread.

A thread similar to this was deleted for the same thing.

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 20:05

I was once told I was the reason another poster feared for her children's future.
That was my favourite mumsnet moment so far.

It is a good one though, if a bit early.
