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?

I posted about my dd's dress size once (it was totally relevant to my question and the general thread) and someone accused me of getting a thrill from posting about my dd's slimness. She's 13. It was such a bizarre thing to say that I just stepped over it!

I started a thread about not giving my cousin (who had a broken leg)and her son a lift home because there was no car seat for her 2yo ds, so they had to wait an extra 10 mins for cousins partner to pick them up with the car seat.

I got told I was "smug" and "self righteous" and "patting myself on the back" or something along those lines . Apparently I stood there with a smug look on my face when I told my cousin I couldn't take her because I had no car seat.. Also the barrage of abuse my cousin gave me was justified because she was in pain and he ds just wanted to go home

It was so bizzare. You'd think I left them abandoned on a desert island. She was in her mums house for an extra 10 minutes

I just find the "Missing the bleeding point" posts odd. One I posted on last night - some poor woman at the end of her tether because she can't coax her yowling cat back inside, and then post after post talking about who might or might not rehome the cat, the best way to rehome, how not to rehome. And as she reasonably pointed out, catching the cat was the current issue and she had at no point mentioned plans to rehome. Yet still it continued - was truly, parallel-universe, bizarre.

I remember posting about being miffed when a friend had said they would help me do something and then didn't. I mentioned I had helped them recently with many things, one of which was going along to check out a house they were thinking of buying.

I was accused of smothering said friend and how she felt confined by my ideas of friendship because of the house thing.

She asked me to go!

OP - where can I buy a wool cardigan? DD has seen one she really likes but it's acrylic.

Me (and another poster) - why don't you just buy that one if your DD likes it?

OP - Such bitchy responses!

I still feel hard done by over this. It was a cardigan.

I can't remember the OP, but I found the whole guest San Pro thread odd.i had genus Ely never given a moment's thought to providing a choice of San pro for all who entered my downstairs lav - and I considered myself a good host.up to that point.

Shame on me.

Er - I meant genuinely not genus Ely.

I once posted saying I'd realised my mother is in an abusive relationship and I don't know how to help her.

And got flamed by people telling me to mind my own business and if she's happy I should butt out.

Totally agree Zebra. Also I lost my mind on that thread when someone called "sanpro" an Americanism. :o

This thread is making me laugh. Chumrun I remember that thread those responses were bonkers!

I was on a thread about picking up dog poo and a poster told me she was going to come and shit on my window sill.

Another time I was called "freakishly precious".

I was told dd2 s name sounded like a boat. I have never forgotten it!

Oh, I remember the cousin with the broken leg one! Fairly sure I didn't post, but ywnbu

My weirdest wasn't on mumsnet, but on another forum (a pet owners one before I discovered Mumsnet!).
I started a thread asking advice for trying to prevent my new cat scratching the kitchen door during the night. We have to shut him in there, as otherwise he wants to spend the whole night asleep on someone's head. There is a cat flap, so he is confined to the kitchen and the rest of the world, just not allowed into the living rooms and bedrooms!
Anyway, someone really laid into me about what a horrible person I was, wanting to deny my poor neglected cat the opportunity to sleep on my head, and how could I even think of separating him from us, and how selfish was I to actually want to get some sleep on a night

Back when I first joined, I asked if I was BU to consider that people who act like twats in parks i.e drinking/swearing/using the park as a rehearsal for upcoming Jezza Kyle appearances, in front of small children should be banned from said park.

It was like a fucking competition to see who could out-liberal everyone else. Full of tolerant drips tripping over themselves to say how they would use the sweary people as a "learning tool" for their own children. Scottishmummy defended me for the first and last time on that thread.

Annie - and did she? Or was she a LIAR?

Ooo, I also remember lovecat's quiche thread, you were also not being unreasonable although there's no way I could serve DH quiche for dinner if the rest of us wanted to eat as he has a pretty big appetite

When I was all shiny and new I posted in Baby Names.

It was an altogether unsettling experience which I didn't repeat but the oddest response was 'urgh, you can't call him Toby, he'll be a twat'.

I ended up choosing a name that is simultaneously Terribly Middle Class and Horribly Chavvy.

I remember your thread natjon
It got bizarre.

Oh, and the beating washing with stones in a river analogy seems a perfect response to a dishwashers are lazy armgument. Well it does to me anyway.

TheSpottedZebra - thankfully, no!

I think I might have been a liberal tolerant drip on that thread.

You were.

Was it our first row on here?

The first of many
