The one where the OP was asking if she WBU to buy a box of 99p broken mixed biscuit bits from her local shop and only eat certain ones and bin the rest, the replies were fucking batshit, seriously fucking batshit. You honestly would have thought the op was buying up whole supermarket worth of in date stock and tossing it in a skip, people were getting seriously angry and worked up over a few binned broken biscuit bits. It would have been hilarious if it wasn’t so ridiculous. I love a good MN food thread but this one literally took the biscuit.

@tafftum Once you've finished, take a look at their Facebook page, honestly hilarious!

The teenage Mum mumsnetter whose baby turned out to be a teddy bear rather than an actual baby, that was definitely up there in the odd league

There was one where some bloke was posting really random things on Ebay (like a broken plastic spoon?) and people were bidding on them. Speculations that it was code for different pornographic ‘to order’ services/videos/web chats etc. Some very random feedback.

Then someone in the thread bid £1000 for one of his listings, and someone else got all goody two shoes and emailed the guy and Ebay, and the thread was deleted, spoiling it for everyone.

Any post where the op 'fell' pregnant. It's not like you tripped over!

Exactly.

I’m in need of a laugh!

Grilledaubergines · 24/02/2018 23:14

Any thread using 5 dots for an ellipsis when it should be 3. They’re the worst.

echt · 24/02/2018 23:33

Any thread whose title or OP says why do men/teachers/doctors/meat eaters/vegetarians/vegans, etc. do/say X or Y, when they mean some, or just one they happen to know.

“My boyfriend evacuated inside me, could I be pregnant?!?!?”

“What time does Tesco/Homebase/Costco close”

And of corse all the million goddamn mother fucking trans threads.

Regularsizedrudy · 24/02/2018 23:45

Haha ejaculated! Damn auto correct

DalekDalekDalek · 24/02/2018 23:51

Haha ejaculated!

Evacuating inside someone would be an entirely different problem! Ew!

Meandmy4 · 24/02/2018 23:53

My one is when posters immediately assume the OP is a journalist and then slag off their post :) Love ya all. I am not a journo....

ONe of the most ridiculously hilarious ones for me was the Mner whose partner came on her thesis lol and she was deliberating about whether to tell her lecturer the truth...I think...if she is still here please tell us the ....outcome :)

Well when there is zero information in the OP it's not an unreasonable presumption.

OP: what’s wrong with me?! Diagnose men
MN: impossible to say. Go to the doctor.
OP: I’m not going to the doctor they’re always wrong.

OP: AIBU?
MN: without a doubt yes.
OP: no I’m not.
MN: ok then....but you are.
OP: OMG stop bullying me.

And I also hate ‘I had unprotected sex could I be pregnant?’

The most entertaining thread I’ve read recently was BigFatFanny’s ‘apparently I’m dead’. It’s the first one for a long while to make me howl with laughter Grin

hibbledibble · 25/02/2018 09:16

All the trans threads. The subject has been done to death, and it is incredibly repetitive. The posters also aren't interested in intelligent debate, but rather just insulting anyone who doesn't agree with their transphobic views.

Grilledaubergines · 25/02/2018 09:30

sofia well apologies but in the job I do, good grammar is essential, so I notice these things. Obviously you don’t. Which is fine.

sausagedogsmakechipolatas · 25/02/2018 09:30

The trans threads have not only been done to death, but anyone who disagrees is shouted down and/or told to “educate” themselves. It’s an echo chamber here.

LadyPenelopeCantDance · 25/02/2018 09:32

The one’s where the OP has had unprotected sex numerous times with different men and wants you to tell her who the father is based on sporadic dates and her irregular cycle.

DeniseBest · 25/02/2018 09:37

There was poster who asked in AIBU about whether her local Chinese takeaway would be open on a bank holiday.
Considering I live on the east coast of Australia and she was in Rotherham (or somewhere), how the fuck am I or anyone else not local to her supposed to know?
Just phone the place.

( I think I said yes it's open)
