What is the most ridiculous thread you've read on MN?

[SofieMonde]

.....

@TieGrr oh dear

2 spring to mind for me.

The nanny feeding the baby m&s filled pasta. The op went batshit crazy and couldn't understand why the nanny wouldn't chop and boil a few tomatoes with a few herbs because it would be revolting

Or the one who went batshit crazy about some baby swimming lessons because the floor was a bit damp but was trying to insist the floor was ankle deep in water.

Iirc she wanted the place which mainly catered to adults anyway to have a load of travel cots to put the babies in while she got changed.

I believe there was also a bit of harassment of the session owner including ringing them at home to get them to give a refund

I loved the one from a woman whose house shared a passageway with next door. She'd blocked the neighbours access as she said neighbour never used it, and she wrote to neighbour to tell her that she intended to extend her kitchen into the passage space.
Funnily enough the neighbour objected strenuously and the OP just couldn't understand that she'd been totally ridiculously batshit unreasonable, despite 100% of posters telling her why she was.

IIRC poster was a law student - but neighbour was fully trained soilicitor (?) so OP was completely fucked but simply wouldn't accept it.

It was bloody marvellous.

Oh the thread a few weeks ago too where every time someone posted a reply they didn't like the op told them to not reply or that they weren't allowed to reply or where banned from replying or to leave the conversation.

I cannot remember the actual topic but it was brilliant.

Eg -
Op - aibu
Mumsnetters- yes you cannot do that.
Op - oh (name of Mumsnetter) don't reply to my post, leave the conversation now
Mumsnetters- it doesn't work like that this is a public forum and anyone can reply.
Op - I've told you stop replying this is my post.

@Montyrage oh I'm gutted I missed it! How funny

The one that's always stuck with me was the one who insisted her baby could only play with wooden toys, because they're so much superior to plastic tat.

@allthegoodnameshadgone

This is the super soaker one.
Again some of comments had been withdrawn.

FrancisCrawford That one was amazing - I was half expecting her Mummy to come on and tell everyone off for being mean to her DD.

Roussette I remember those two they were strange and unintentionally funny.

TieGrr Ah yes that unique name Farrah, all the posters saying "Haven't you heard of Farrah Fawcett-Majors?" and the Op steadfastly maintaining she invented the name, truly batshit.

Montyrage at one point the OP told someone to "Get off my thread".

I find any threads that garner an 'army' type following complete with twee name for said followers, attract a very strange and weird band of posters. They morph into cliques very quickly and build up a cult-like following complete with special language and in-jokes. I find myself questioning the brain capacity of the posters as they post ever more ridiculously.

@Montyrage I'm creasing, thankyou for sharing😂😂🙌🏻
The replies omg😂 I love how it goes from everyone saying no to people just replying "Arghhhhhhh!!!" "She's not listening!" "" then my favourite "" absolute gold😂😂😂

This one

Rousette your description of the car boot episode was hilarious. I missed that one! (though I do it to my kids all the time )

someone posted a reply they didn't like the op told them to not reply or that they weren't allowed to reply or where banned from replying or to leave the conversation.

Wasn’t this the thread about the toddler having almost been hit with a trolley in a supermarket, the poster being very vague about what had happened, but wanting to sue and getting really annoyed when anyone tried to clarify what had actually happened? If it was that thread, it was deleted.

Found the thread I referred to earlier, there are some utter arseholes on it. Some of the more nasty ones appear to have been withdrawn though.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2144708-What-would-you-expect-your-DH-to-do?pg=5&order=

Red and Maz it was hilarious.
Last I remember the MNer had been in the car maybe an hour but not locked in, just wouldnt get out I think there were two big cars of family and rellies so it was a bit like 'Home Alone' but 'Kevin' was in the car boot (not literally the boot but I'm just saying that for comedic effect!) whilst everyone else was in the house getting lunch ready! She was going to wait until someone realised she wasn't there and came and found her

Perhaps not exactly ridiculous but exasperating - the threads where the OP is moaning that her DH doesn't do any housework etc etc and then goes on to say 'and I am pregnant with our 2nd/3rd/4th child' - WHY do people have babies with such useless men?

And then if you dare to say something like 'did you not realise that your DH was like this before you had another child' the answer is usually that there was a contraception failure (But if your DH is such a useless waste of space why are you even having sex with him?).

More light hearted - the ridiculous threads where someone says they have eaten something a day after the 'use by date' and don't know if they will die or not. .

I follow take a break on Facebook (don't judge me, it's hilarious) and they very often use threads from here that they've found on the daily heil as talking points. The one where the woman wasn't invited to a wedding so asked the brides parents popped up on there this weekend.

The Sharon thread!

I’m reading the super soaker one now. I’ve only read the OP and I’m laughing already. It has time a wind up? Although, if it was it would have been deleted, wouldn’t it?

@MazDazzle do you have a link?

Tiresome oneupmanship posts :)

Found it in classics! Bizarre!

Can't believe I missed MN House swap.

Anal bleaching was a funny recent one.

I avoid all trans threads, sick to the back teeth of it all.

The one currently running with the OP who screamed in the sistine chapel because she was so overcome with emotion. So weird
