Mumsnet disasters

[Postitblue]

Hello all- I'm pretty sure I am BU to ask but I was wondering- have you ever known someone on MN was talking about you? Or have you been caught out on here referring to Someone who knows you in RL? I'm a nosy begger I know but some of the stuff on here I think (surely) someone would know? Ps new here and loving it - apologies in advance if this isn't appropriate chat :)

I have recognised years ago....I was asking for dildo recommendation. Thanks god it was a good friend who recognised me.

I posted about a smug status Facebook status regarding breastfeeding. Basically it was along the lines of she found it hard but theres never a reason to give up and only the best for her child.

Just smug and condescending really.

Someone (no idea who but must have been a friend of hers) recognised it straight away and told her.

Then she made a post on Facebook saying she was glad that she would never call herself a mumsnetter

What revealing information did you give away for them to recognise you on that subject Italian?

at being recognised asking for dildo recs.

Unlucky!

I have recognised years ago....I was asking for dildo recommendation how much identifying information did you put in a post about dildos

hardley GERROFF HIM

I was outed on here...three threads into my utterly horrendous divorce. I am pretty sure I know the source. Did I care? Did I hell. I hoped that my ex-h and his OW were utterly stung by what was written about their behaviour because there it all was in black and white. They did go to the police and indeed the court claiming "trolling", knowing full well it was nothing of the sort. Didn't get very far. I have nothing to be ashamed of so I am not bothered in the slightest

I have recognised the wife of a poster I know from another forum, two sides to every story

I've recognised someone. It was v exciting I have a life honest and in turn been recognised by him. Like others, I never post anything I wouldn't mind people knowing in RL though.

I recognised a username on the antenatal group I joined as it was the same as this person used on Twitter a few years ago. We're friends IRL although live some distance apart now. And that was how we found out each other is expecting, with just a day between our EDDs!

Don't think I know anyone else on MN...

I have recognised 3 people I know in real life, one because she used her real name as her username, one in the antenatal thread with DC1, and one from the local boards. I'm fairly recognisable to them if they read my stuff.

Not on here. I've a few friends I know who use MN but I haven't a clue what their usernames are.

I have been recognised in the other place netmums. Once I replied to a thread started by my sister, I hadn't a clue, until she messaged me saying so. I've also become friends irl with someone who recognised me there too. No, she's not a stalker

Sometimes I am recognised. Distinctive posting style as someone said above. It's never been a problem however.

I recognised a relative being ripped to shreds on here (and my Dnieces names being slated) It was a link to story she had put in local paper.

I told DH but not the relative/MIL as they would have been very upset.

The outcome was the exact opposite of what all the posters thought was right/would be the outcome.

I have spotted a couple of people from another forum. I know my sister is on here somewhere although I have slagged her off a bit on here .

I don't mind if anyone recognises me... I have nothing to hide

i once met someone who said his kids names had been revealed on mumsnet as utter twatnames
He found out when he googled them!
i think they were apple and peach or something weird

A friend in RL posted about my ASD son's behaviour. Not pleasant to hear what her DH thinks of my DS.

There are people I know on here. I tend to find it makes me extremely tongue-tied when I meet them in RL, or more particularly when I meet their DHs. What am I going to say - 'Oh hi! So how did it go with the lube the other night?' Not easy to mesh RL and MN.

I have spotted someone before, someone I know in rl who had twins a similar age to mine posted about something they'd done and also posted about it in fab too. Nothing interesting really. I still messaged her though in case she posted private shit that she didn't want me to know.
Has anyone said about the birthday party yet...?
Was it the Olympic year ? A joint party what went wrong, someone ranted about it on here then was busted.

I recognised a poster on here from comments they made about their job: they literally work in the building next door to mine, but I'd never make contact to let them know that I know who they are. We only know each other in a professional capacity so I don't want to out myself to them

Not recognised anyone & not been recognised-at least not that I'm aware of...
