There's some really funny people on here and some stuff has me smiling for days. One I read recently was about the names small children called their parents instead of Mummy and Daddy. One poster wrote that her DC called her DH "Daddy" and called her "Not Daddy" - still makes me smile.

Me too TheZeppo, I still laugh every time I think of it. I remember I was trying to get my very young baby back to sleep in my arms at about 4am when I read that thread. I had to put her down gently and quickly exit so I could burst out laughing.

Balonz!

Some of these are really making me giggle!

The one thread which did actually make me cry with laughter was a really random one which wasn’t that popular but it ticked me for days.

It was a mom who was really annoyed that her sons teacher kept making him miss his playtime’s so he could go and show other teachers his work. She was really cross about it and implied it was happening daily

The boy was about 6. I work in a busy primary school and the thought of a young child missing playtime every day to go and show different busy teachers his art work at playtime every day really made me giggle.

In hospital having my labour induced and I can't breathe!!! Even laughing through contractions I'm dyinggg

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 03/07/2018 21:31

The one with the poster absolutely outraged to get a speeding ticket in some Easter European country where the signs were not clearly written in English! Bastards!

TokenBritPoshOfCourse · 03/07/2018 21:33

This whole thread but especially ‘Marty Marty marty’ had me crying.

And there was a great thread of yore where we descended into talking in morse code about sheep and pink floyd and sister wives but you kinda had to be there, it’s not really that hilarious on a re-read.

FilthyforFirth · 03/07/2018 21:35

It was more of a CF one, but the replies were hilarious, but the hen party where the guest wanted to bring her husband, and toddler. Was told no, but brought them both anyway. I cried with laughter.

Also, Balonz.

Sorry- can’t seem to link to the Pom Bears thread but it’s:

“to think this couple are bonkers”

In Classics, from 2010. The Pom Bears make an entrance on page 18.

So many old names on that thread too.

MistressDeeCee · 03/07/2018 21:44

Today's it's the ludicrous thread responses on the post with OP wailing that she's getting married soon, bridesmaid has dyed hair pink, & OP wants advice as to how to tell her to get rid of the pink.

I think what started the giggles was 1 suggestion that OP should get each bridesmaid to dye hair 1 shade of the rainbow, stand in a line, then OP could dye her own hair gold and she could be the pot of gold at end of rainbow... problem solved.

Stupid, I know. But it's the plain stupid ones that get me.

Snapped and farted was a classic as it was a pretty intense story then out of nowhere, and with no context, OP just dropped the line

"So then I snapped and farted"

WHY?😂

I never did work out whether it was a typo or not

Ages ago one about an OP's friend who made her guests remove shoes on entering her home, and they had to wear pointy red Artisan slippers instead, that she provided from a basket by the door. Friend was very, very proud of them being Artisan (artisanal?) I can't recall ins & outs now, but do recall thread with people taking the piss

There've been loads over the years. I might re-read Classics for a laugh now

Peaheadz · 03/07/2018 21:49

I remember one where the OP was complaining about her husband having a willy off in the garden and people where asking her to clarify.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 03/07/2018 21:53

Penis beaker & the one where the OP got poo on her sort-that one had me actually crying laughing & DH thought I was tapped...
Most recently the snapped & farted one, the replies were hilarious & it became even funnier when OP clarified it wasn't a typo Grin

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 03/07/2018 21:54

On her fucking skirt-twatting wanking autocorrect Hmm

LadyFilthPacquet · 03/07/2018 21:54

Snapped and farted Grin Grin Grin. The happiest phrase ever used on MN.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 03/07/2018 21:56

Anything by catthiefkeith, gawd bless her. The one about being stuck in a tent in the garden was particularly funny.

RIP Flowers

TorviBrightspear · 03/07/2018 22:03

Wasn't it Honeydragon who managed to Immac the baby, and then had said baby (when a toddler) cover herself with blue ink right before having to take her to a parents evening at school?

I had to laugh at those, my own DS got himself into similar stuff with a blue marker pen.

TheClitterati · 03/07/2018 22:05

*OP your minge!

Making me laugh loudly all over again.

There are some very witty/funny people here.

Whipsmart · 03/07/2018 22:08

Has nobody else mentioned the one where the OP was befriended by some overly keen, stalkerish types on holiday and had to do a midnight flit to another holiday camp? It was comedy and horror in equal measures Grin

As for random images, I loved the poster (on some sort of "embarrassing moments" thread) whose (new/) shoes, combined with a shiny floor, meant that she had to scrabble along a corridor holding on to a hand rail because it was like an ice rink

And one whose doctor said she was going to use her finger instead of a surgical instrument to do an internal examination and the OP said "Oh that's much nicer" and her DH and the doc both gave her funny looks

KinkyAfro · 03/07/2018 22:08

The mum in M&S women's clothes section who couldn't move for fear of pooing.

And I'm so sorry Alan 😂

TorviBrightspear · 03/07/2018 22:09

The threadworm/garlic one was one of the first threads I can remember reading. I'm not sure if we ever found out if the OP had indeed quit the job in embarrassment.

I laughed so much at the Brian from Hull thread with his Yoni massage, I'm still not sure if it was serious or a piss take, but it was sure entertaining.

JaceLancs · 03/07/2018 22:15

Mine was actually in style and beauty and it was about some Clark’s sandal type footwear that had an inner sheepskin sock
I howled so much DP wanted to know what was going on I was laughing so hard I couldn’t explain

onefootinthegrave · 03/07/2018 22:15

I've tried to find a link to mine but I can't - it was from someone who said her and her boyfriend had had an argument so he came over her university coursework or essay or something and how she was upset that she couldn't hand it in with his spunk on it. It was something else!

Aridane · 03/07/2018 22:16

Quite enjoyed the "I'm beautiful - ask me anything" thread last week....when a poster asked "what do you think about the cost of Trident?" 😂

That was me, that was me!!

Angie169 · 03/07/2018 22:16
