Favourite forgotten threads

Inspired by a few cracking zombie threads that have popped up over the last few days I was wondering what peoples favourite forgotten threads are?
I remember one about 8 years ago from a woman who had a ONS and the guy hadn't been particularly vigilant in washing his arse which was hilarious (the thread - not the dirty arse obviously).
Would be great to link to some funny ones and also see if the posters are still on here and can update though perhaps not the one I mentioned

OP posts:

One about a ONS where the OP left her driving licence or passport (some vital document) behind.

She didn't want to go back as she had already done "the walk of shame" through the barracks the next morning GrinGrin

I also remember she said her ONS was a gentleman as he hung her dress in a hanger.

Howled with laughter at that one.

for some reason q very insignificant thread is always stuck in my head.

OP: AIBU to think my friend shouldn't eat a whole tub of humourless for breakfast?

everyone else: Grin

one person: you're all vile witches for making fun of a spelling error!

my hero: ...sense of hummus failure.

Spray painted pigeon "is that you Paul?" Grin

Woman who found a dead cat on her wall...that turned out to be a toy GrinGrin

5foot5, AFAIK all four of TidyDancer's Bridezilla threads are still here in AIBU!

The MNer who'd wrapped two presents - one was for her young DS to take to a birthday party and the other was a couple of sex toys for her BFF who was soon to get married. IIRC she used the same wrapping paper for both; it was only when her DS was already at the party and her BFF had opened her present that she discovered what she'd done Grin

Wrong presents thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/1117169-Horrible-horrible-present-mix-up-involving-sex-toys-I-have-to-go-back-in-an-hour (actually the BFF and her DH were going on a romantic, child-free holiday for her 30th birthday).

NoCapes · 17/05/2017 09:05

caz yes we're still seeing each other Grin

EKL is my favourite thread ever! Sometimes if I'm having a bad day I will read it and feel all warm and fuzzy again Smile ahhh

KrayKray00 · 17/05/2017 09:12

The woman who moaned about her hairdresser because a comment was made about her turning up with greasy hair. She went back and complained and got laughed out of the Salon. It might of been a troll but that day I was revising for a really important exam and I wasted so much time on the thread just reading it. It got deleted in the end.

That's how I got pulled into the Mumsnet World...

NoCapes · 17/05/2017 09:16

That wrong present thread is clearly a load of bollocks, can't believe that made it into classics Confused

elQuintoConyo · 17/05/2017 09:20

"Just as I tried to get out - 'your minge' sucked me back in" Grin

I shall have a delightful couple of days re-reading some of these threads mentioned.

Although if someone mentions the PB thread in a positive light, i'll patio their ass.

DFSspringsale · 17/05/2017 09:21

"You can't jet wash a squirrel!" Not sure if it's in classics or not.

DearMrDilkington · 17/05/2017 09:25

Elderly Korean lady and of course capes GEG thread Wink

WellErrr · 17/05/2017 09:37

The squirrel one was a troll

caz323 · 17/05/2017 10:43

NoCapes - Yay!! X

Don't know if it made it into Classics, but the Homemade Chicken Cock had me crying with laughter. One of the best auto corrects ever. And the witty comments from posters were just hilarious. Loved it!

HollyJollyDillydolly · 17/05/2017 11:20

"I can see your minge", I remember that one Grin

waterlego6064 · 17/05/2017 14:04

Yes, 'your minge' was hilarious. Could so imagine the DP looking startled and helpless across the other side of the pool 😂

mikeyssister · 17/05/2017 15:05

I just read about the 19 year old and discovered the joy of Marty and Welsh whales.

I had to wait to stop crying to post.

AND I haven't even looked at the other links yet....

lemonzest123 · 17/05/2017 15:06

The one about the people living in their car, it was like a soap opera!

Chloe84 · 17/05/2017 15:11

@KC225

I believe the Mexican house thief appears in the Have you ever encountered anyone this cheeky? thread in Classics.

Lostmyunicorn · 17/05/2017 16:09

The ones I loved best of all were elderly Korean lady and the one about the plate stuck down the back of the loo. I laughed til I cried at that one.

kitkatspiderrat · 17/05/2017 16:21

jet wash a squirrel was a troll??

BaggyAnn · 17/05/2017 16:37

The penis beaker sticks in my mind Grin and the pombears at a dinner party Bear

TheEmmaDilemma · 17/05/2017 17:13

Oh god. Some of these have got me laughing just at the memories.

Boobleplate was awesome.
Chris and the horse.
Yes, the car living people!
The painted pigeon.

Far too many have had me wiping my eyes in the office from silently shaking...

WellErrr · 17/05/2017 17:50

Chris and the horse!! How could I forget!?

I saw FYCATH posting the other day too.
