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 stuck up for an OP who was getting torn to shreads for complaining about a screaming child keeping her awake in the flat above her. I was then accused by one poster of being the OP under a name change because I dared to stick up for this person rather than joining in the pack mentality.

Years ago, I posted about having to miss an event at dd's school, this was her 5th year there, and I had been at everything until then.
Someone replied saying my dd was probably used to being let down by me, since it was clear I never made an effort for her.
Erm righto.

I once referred to a poster as 'he' because I had always assumed they were a man - it was one of those posters who post under a male name and I did it without thinking. I apologised but they really tore into me and said I was being disingenuous and that I knew full well they were a woman.

It was such a bizarre thing to insist on that it left me thinking 'actually that probably is a bloke pretending to be a woman' - I mean, insist you are a woman by all means, most people on here are, but why insist that I knew she was?

I got a bit of a flaming once for not wanting to take a taxi on my own for reasons I didn't want to share.
I was going to get DH to collect me instead at it would take about 10 minutes.
One response was " I bet it would take more like 20 minutes" how could she possibly think she knew that?????

I read an otherwise dull thread the other day about taxes, where one poster in all seriousness said something like "it smacks of taking from the rich to give to the poor to me"...um, yeah?

Anyone else slightly rabbit-in-headlight-ing in case one's very occasional snark gets a re-airing? nervous tinkly laugh

A poster once expressed her disbelief that the party I was supposed to go to with the dc (having sent the car seat off with DH) was actually too far to walk. I was clearly just lazy

I looked at it on google maps and it was seven point six miles

Mandarin I remember that one.
It was mumsnetters trying to out-liberal each other at its best!

I sometimes think I'm living in some parallel universe on here

Holden, yes. I've already recognised my self on this thread

BOF - I ignored that one, I thought it was me, being a bit too tired to understand the point

I got mixed up between my windows once and posted on a thread about a kid having teeth out saying "oh yes. When I got my boys balls lopped off he came home and went to sleep on the third stair up for two days"

It was meant to be on the dog house thread about a dog having sedation.

Had severe PND, was on meds and was having therapy for it but the therapy didn't seem to be working for me and I wasn't getting any better. Started a thread asking AIBU to ask to change therapists because I didn't feel that my therapist properly understood where I was coming from as she was single with no kids. Lots of very helpful replies but one woman just posted, 'I didn't struggle at all when my kids were babies - I found it all really easy and fun'.

In what universe could that in any way be a helpful contribution?

Hur hur usual

I posted a silly thread about dh keeping me up at night fiddling about with the curtains and generally fidgeting about in bed and someone came on and told me off because as I was a sahm I had no right to moan about my dh as he was the one working!

More recently I posted on a thread saying I was upset about my pet having to be put to sleep (pet happened to be a goldfish) and someone came on and said they had found it funny I was upset and told others and they had found it funny too!

On days like that I feel a bit :(

I was told to FUCK RIGHT OFF by a regular poster because I mentioned that people from NI hate hearing about England as 'the MAINLAND'

I didn't and they do.

I once posted a bit of a rant about my SIL. I had said a lot of things mid-rant which had come across in completely the wrong way and got a roasting for it.

One person asked if SIL was slim, as I sounded jealous I teally wasn't sure what to make of that, other than that I come across as fat on a forum

Unfortunately there's no 'spat my banana milk over my iPad' icon for this. Fucking brilliant!

I posted once asking for advice as I had done something very stupid. Taken my female dog round to my mums thinking she was no longer in season - turned out she was and she stood for my mums male dog ?? was wondering what best to do.

Got told my mum was a terrible, irresponsible dog breeder and the reason dog breeding has a bad name, glad they never bought puppies from her etc etc. thing was, my Mum had nothing to do with it, she was on holiday at the time (I had gone round to see my sister) and quite rightly jolly annoyed with me for being so careless when she found out.

Never quite figured out the jump from OP is stupid to OP's mother is terrible dog breeder!

I've just had a flaming for suggesting a poisonous plant is removed from a school playground. Rather amused.

Too many people have long memories methinks

I once got flamed for daring to suggest that a poster said 'no' to her dc who was clearly behaving like a little monster.
The poster was very offended that I implied their precious dc was anything other than perfect when they were obviously behaving like a spoilt brat

I love this thread- it is what makes MN so addictive when you get such bizarre advice!
I once made a couple of fairly mundane posts on a thread for someone to pop up and say 'Delph has form - I had never seen her before or since!

Too many people have long memories methinks

And right on cue....

I got flamed for daring to move on with my life after divorce and daring to meet a new partner.

One poster basically called me a whore who put sex above my dc!

After pointing out that I had only ever been with one man for more than 20 years and tolerated a crap marriage for the sake of my dc, she still tried to imply that my new partner could be a paedophille and I should stay single.

Delph has form
