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

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 a cat that kept coming up to my door when I was trying to get into my home.

I was accused of abusing an animal and watching it starve for not keeping it as a pet

Toby Young called me an 'old-style Tory', which shows the level of Toby Young's comprehension skills, I feel. Not something anyone who's spent 30 seconds in my general vicinity has every accused me of!

I remember a poster posting one time about how they had a tiny kitchen at work and it was annoying when people wanted to use it and wouldn't wait a couple of minutes until someone already there had finished making a cup of tea or whatever but insisted on crowding in and reaching over them and getting in the way etc.

Apparently she was obviously one of those people who was an absolute nightmare to work with!

I know lots of children who like knitting LaQ. How strange!

Whispers. My 7 year old DS likes knitting and embroidery...

I complained about not being able to undo the factory-tightened nuts on my flat tyre to change it and having to ask a man to help me in the carpark (the rest of the task I was well able to do).

I was told by one poster that I had no business driving a car on the public highway if I couldn't undo the nuts by myself.

A few years, ago I posted on a thread , I can't even remember what it was about, nothing too earth shattering anyhow. A poster then informed me that my DDs would grow up to be fuck puppets of men and it would be my fault.
One of my DDs was still in primary school .

My 4yo dd loves crochet, she can't do it but her attempts at it are so cute she helped me make her a big snuggly blanket and helped me do one for my ds too. Granted I had to go back and fix it after she helped but I'm really quite happy that it's something me and her can enjoy together as her other hobbies (football, dancing and playing with dolls) aren't something I know how to do.

And yes, it's weird I don't know how to play with dolls but it was never something I got to do as a child. They terrify me now

On (another) SUV thread I posted that I found them annoying in car parks as it was difficult to see around them when reversing out of a space.

A poster told me in very patronising tones that I was obviously a very nervous driver and there are special driving courses for people like me.

Recent thread on adoption... OP has a very anxious adopted child who struggles with sleeping alone. Lots of good advice and anecdotes from adopters and non-adopters alike who have been in the same situation. Cue random one off post "Your poor DH"

Apparently the most important part of that thread was that DH slept in the spare room if necessary...

I find the generic "I'm entitled to my opinion" comment rage inducing when I disagree with a poster.

Yes and I'm entitled to disagree with it - it's called a discussion

And lets be honest... some opinions are more equal than others

As a non driver I was an incompetent adult and a blight on the people around me as they feel obligated to give me lifts

Oh yes, Mrsjayy. Nothing seems to rile a few people on MN than admitting you can't drive!

It sends them loopy they can't get their head around non drivers and of course the poor children OBVIOUSLY miss out on things

I was once told I had damaged my children who would forever have emotional issues because I said I was annoyed at dh for having an affair. I assured that 7 years on all problems had been sorted and both parents and children are happy and well adjusted, apparently I'm delusional.

It was her vitriol that shocked me most of all.

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!

That's hilarious! I'm also intrigued by LaQueen and her stairs in the kitchen - what is the problem?

I remember the parents in first class/kids in cattle class thread - I knew it would become a blood bath and settled in for the day.

People picking up on grammatical errors when you've made a really important point. I put a loooong post advising someone about a difficult situation I'd been in. Random troll person popped up and decided to start picking holes.

I got a bit ranty...

Oh I got not even on my thread Mrs jayy punctuate that was all they said.

I once mentioned an article in a thread and gave the address of the website saying I didn't know how to link it.

According to the next poster, people who couldn't do links should just get off MN and it was as stupid a statement as the one I'd opened the thread with! (A perfectly ordinary thread to do with kids' toys.)
