To ask about trolls

[HairsprayBabe]

NOT a TAAT - just inspired by a certain one

Tell us about your fave MN troll

I liked the woman who had a dead husband who hand painted the childrens bedrooms, and now she was remarried she wanted all of her stepchildren to sleep in one room so that her children from her first marriage wouldn't have to give up their bedrooms even for one night!

Surely IANBU to ask what your favorite troll on MN has been?!

There was an absolute doozy this morning- someone asking about having another baby despite having an extensive criminal record, addiction issues, no money, etc. It made a lot of people angry before it was taken down.

It does seem that these are an unusual number of troll threads at the moment. I reported three before 9am, which must be some sort of record!

That reminds me of the bizarre birth troll who pops up every now and again over on Pregnancy or Childbirth saying they are pregnant and don't like mess so will be under a general anaesthetic for the entire of labour and are expecting the baby to be washed and dressed before they even look at it, and won't be touching the baby at any point in its existence if she suspects it's harbouring germs.... the poster has quite a deranged and American posting style and the threads are always the same.

Ooohhh I know the one you're referring to fenella, didn't realise it was a troll!

It's the really mundane troll stuff that baffles me. Like the one the other day where the poster was planning a menu for 50 people, and twelve hours later the event was apparently over and everyone loved her food. Or the one whose boss demanded to see the invoice for repairs carried out on her car, so she got Kwik Fit to fake the invoice with her details when actually it was her friend's car being repaired. Why would anyone make up such a ridiculous but mundane story?

I often get the sense some (not all) pubic hair removal ones are a bit odd

I think some of the puberty botherers are men, seeking wank fodder and possibly hoping for photos

Pube botherers not puberty.

(That's a whole new level of nasty)

There was a foreskin troll (don't ask) last year, I think that plumbed new depths...
But yes to a pp, the really dull ones are particularly odd. The coat troll, the model/caterer/social worker one. Loads of detail, and for what?

Perhaps writing a very dull novel?

Some of the anguished, overly dramatic, relationship ones sound like not-very-well written chicklit, especially when an amazingly good looking man is introduced into the mix.

That woman had shit taste in imaginary friends.

My inheritance thread was not fucking fake. I'm thought we weren't meant to drag things from other threads around the boards.

Was the troll Stranded the poster about 6 months or maybe a year ago who was homeless and riding night buses around for the night because she didn't have enough money for a hostel, then some MNers sent her money? Or was that a genuine poster?

It's not my best (because it was sad) but the one that affected me the most was the one with the little boy who was found in school on the climbing frame with his jumper around his neck.

I didn't know this was a troll I remember this thread and being so upset for her. Who the hell would make something like that up.,

What is Curry troll?
Sounds fascinating!

Jam Stranded was a long term poster who, if I remember correctly, started with a bug controversy about choosing a user name that was very similar to an existing poster. Then claimed that she had a surprise baby, delivered by her boyfriend (not the baby's father) in her bedroom, but he was aces because he didn't mind at all. Then started an almighty hoo ha by saying that they were a very naked family and that they didn't mind a bit of naked spooning under a blanket on the sofa on a dull afternoon, which sometimes turned into naked spoony sex, and the toddler just played with her toys on the floor whilst this was happening and was totally oblivious. That was a corker thread, I remember it fondly.

I think all that was Stranded. Apologies if I've mixed her up with someone else.

That should say a big controversy, not a bug.

Oh, I'd forgotten the Silent Spoony Sofa Sex thread! That was a doozy.

I still believe in fairies stranded yeah I was totally drawn in. 🙄

I hated stranded.. I joined as she left and I kept getting accused of being her. I didn't even know who she was

I thought a recent pube thread was definitely a troll until I saw it was posted by a long-term member with impeccable posting history

Sometimes real life just looks very trolly.

The 'very successful business' Anna from Frozen troll was PavlovaPippa. I loved her.

Naze I was the OP of the wanking monkeys thread. It was true but I honestly didn't think anyone would take it seriously. And it ended up in The fucking Sun.
I wish PavlovaPippa would take some time out from her very successful business and come back. She was awesome.

PaclovaPippa kept me entertained

I think I spotted the disney princess one a few days ago.

I'm having a lovely afternoon curled up with a pot of tea and reading about Pippa and her six 'jobs'

V. Entertaining.

PavlovaPippa!!! That was it! I was trying so hard to remember her name yesterday. I got as far as PollyParties but couldn't remember it for the life of me!
