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 think it might of been. IIRC she had posted about those things before.

I posted a thread about OFSTED ratings, and mentioned I would prefer a faith school. One poster quizzed me about my religious background (I was brought up in a mixed faith household) and told me that I needed to decide what religion I was before considering what school my DC would go to. Apparently, I'm not allowed to go to one type of church with my DM and another type with my DF

The thread where the op reported being sworn at for using the hand dryer in a public loo and was berated on here with 'could you not have dried your hands on your coat' and 'why did you not take the sweary woman for a cup of tea and a chat?' was a recent highlight.

post I remember that thread. MN at its most batshit.

Me to SEN 'aargh blurt post so fed up rant dh blah ds ' first response 'FGS'
Helpful.

I asked whether I should bring DC's to a funeral as it was quite a long drive. It would have taken 2 and a half hours. Most of the replies said not to take them but I was told I was a liar by a longstanding MNer as it took her at least 3 and a half hours to do the journey

Turns out she didn't realise there was a new motorway.

I was told I was a terrible parent for adding a plastic kids table on to a corner of our kitchen table for my daughter (6yo) to sit at on the odd occasion that my parents visit for dinner ie so that we all fit. Apparently I was making her feel unimportant and I should have bought a bigger table.

Recently I read a thread of 490 posts, it took me a very long time I then posted my very small input. I hadn't realised that the thread had moved on a lot. My post looked very odd

I post sometimes about being dyslexic, a surprising number of numskulls pp feel the need to correct spelling and grammer on those threads.

I've posted a few stories about things I've seen that have made me think a particular thing or way, nothing amazingly far fetched or bizarre but I've the had replies of,

"You're lying, I don't believe this happened"

Yes, I obviously do spend my days trying to think of made up things to post on Mumsnet for a response.

I once posted asking for help in leaving my dc with dh for a night out. One of my dc was still breastfeeding baby. One poster seemed to be annoyed with me that i wasnt more inclined to leave dh looking after kids and i quote "makes her want to punch me in the tits" ! Delightful!

You do realise that posters might be able to identify themselves from this thread?

Once I saw a poster say the OP was á disgrace to her country' over arguments with Au Pair about meals.

just realised that my post reads like I'm accusing posters on this thread of being pedants, I ment that posters on my threads are often pedants. Most are lovely though . mning with dyslexia is a very tricky business.

The hand dryer thread was odd but v funny by the end of it the poor op was an insensitive selfish cow and the swearer was obviously disadvantaged and just needed support

The standard response used to be if a husband got drunk amd stayec out was to book yourself a spa day with HIS credit card not seen it in a while though

Best response I ever saw on here - OP was about a fight she saw on the street between a couple of women, one of whom was a wheelchair user.

One of the first responses - 'Are you in Scotland?'

Turns out OP was, and the two fighters had form!

The oddest response I have seen on here was the op had an unexpected house guest. It was a work colleague of her dh or something that the op didn't know well. He had been made homeless and the dh agreed to put him up for a couple of nights.
Anyway houseguest had outstayed his welcome and op was told that she wasn't doing enough to help despite offering a roof over his head for much longer than expected and that she should be doing more to help him find accommodation and do all the ringing around to sort him out.

But the most bizarre response was that OP should buy a caravan for him so he could live on her drive!!!

He's a grown man FFS!!

I got told I was a disgrace to the teaching profession and that it was a good job I wasn't teaching HER children.

I had said that for some students, getting a C at GCSE is a real achievement.

IT IS!!!

A disgrace, really?

I recognize so many of these! :)

Years ago I posted a thread about dd throwing a shoe at me, I was mad at the time and I swore in the title. One poster took such offense at it that she stalked me all over the board, posted something nasty on every thread I had ever started and said she knew where I lived etc. For a breif moment I was actually quite scared, MNHQ were ace though and I hid in chicken keepers for the rest of the week. That was the point I stopped using mumsnet in the evening.

After posting a long post about my nightmare neighbours and genuinely wondering if it was my fault, if I was just a horrible person etc (my children make noise at home after nursery/school, normal child playing noise) and how they constantly came to my door acting aggressive and even complained about my tiny little furball of a kitten running about, my op showing how genuinely distraught I was, I was told to use paragraphs. My post had paragraphs and I got quite a few comments on how they refused to read my post because it didn't have enough paragraphs in it...

Luckily the vast majority of replies were lovely and helpful

I once posted that I couldn't stand the contestant on the bake off programme crying on every episode, I then got told it must be because I was jealous as I was an alcoholic, old hag!

I also got told I was being unreasonable for telling someone that paying a live out nanny £4ph was shit as the nanny "might be an immigrant". Like that makes it OK!

Was it Ruby by any chance, Chipped?

That was her, I couldn't remember her name!

The shitstorm I got for saying I hoped Sue did what she said she was going to do and "slap" her! You'd think I was hoping Mary Berry was going to go all WWF on her!

A MN'er said that she hoped I wasn't a mother and said if I was, she felt sorry for my children - all because I don't believe in Elf on a Shelf and do not want my children growing up believing in Father Christmas!
