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.

I remember a really weird one, when the OP came back after a year to resurrect her own post claiming it had all been a dream. She mention fraud etc in her first post.

Poo cube

The poster who’s phone keypad wasn’t working properly so her spelling was atrocious. “Mustard scream” (custard cream) set me off for about half an hour. Brilliant.

Can someone enlighten me as to what the 'fly seat on bus' one was about?

FarFlungFairy · 03/07/2018 23:34

I remember the thread about bad first dates and the bloke who whispered “penetration” in the OP’s ear whilst shagging, that was a howler. 🤣

GallicosCats · 03/07/2018 23:37

There was a spoonerisms/malapropisms one a few weeks ago that had me properly chuckling. Especially 'stiffy cocky pudding.'

The dead cat on the wall!!!

Years ago but the one as soon as I joined here was the triplets named precious, harmony and Kevin

Anyone remember the poster whose husband spent an hour drying his body with a hairdryer after a shower? Going back a few years, circa 2011/12?

CoatsProtectionLeague · 03/07/2018 23:44

This is such a great thread. I remember most of these. Teddyisahe that had me crying too- I found it!

supermarket shits

I’ve spent all evening laughing at Classics.

CocoLoco87 · 03/07/2018 23:49

Snapped and farted and also the one about t rexing in the supermarket. I laughed out loud at that one!

thecatneuterer · 03/07/2018 23:50

On a thread about things you never knew, that everyone else did - someone said she had thought that when she heard about people killing themselves by putting their head in the oven, that they had cooked their heads to death. She didn't realise they didn't actually light the oven and it was the gas that killed them. And she was always puzzled why someone would choose such an uncomfortable way to die.

I know it's a macabre subject but it still makes me giggle when it pops into my mind.

Ofthread · 03/07/2018 23:51

Omg, cooking their heads, rofl.

biscuitmillionaire · 03/07/2018 23:51

I think it was in a thread about embarrassing moments during childbirth, but one poster had somehow managed to slip and shoot forward and pin a junior doctor to the wall with her fanny.

MrsFezziwig · 04/07/2018 00:02

My favourite is the one where the OP’s husband went out to do the Christmas Eve food shop and came back with all sorts of random stuff including a cycle helmet and a shedload of lemon jelly.

It’s in Classics and I look it up every year just before Christmas - it’s become a bit of a tradition for me!

Cattenberg · 04/07/2018 00:08

Found it! This thread made me laugh many, many times.

What is the most trivial reason you have ended a relationship?

My favourite is the one where the OP’s husband went out to do the Christmas Eve food shop and came back with all sorts of random stuff including a cycle helmet and a shedload of lemon jelly.

I was coming on to say this one. There was so much random stuff and nothing to make an actual Christmas meal out of.

Also t-rexing in Asda and the one with Sharon and a wasp and wine on the wall behind a door.

halfwitpicker · 04/07/2018 02:08

God yes the handy hints a là Take a Break thread was fab. Didn't realise it was in Classics. The mint thins made out of toothpaste made me crease up : 'only eat one at a time'

Hidingtonothing · 04/07/2018 02:14

The booble plate thread, I laughed til I cried Grin

HaroldsSocalledBluetits · 04/07/2018 02:19

I have no idea what thread it was on but a poster said that she'd parked her car and when she went back to get it someone had spelt out "CUNT" on it using chips.

EnormousDormouse · 04/07/2018 02:28

...a child that shouted they wanted 'cockporn' instead of popcorn

....a lady who put a frog in her pocket (I can't remember why) and forgot about it only for it to croak when she was in the middle of a conversation with her doctor

AntipodeanOpalEye · 04/07/2018 03:30

The Trip Advisor Thread in Classics with Dilly the Prostitute.

LookAtThatCritter · 04/07/2018 03:37

“I snapped and farted” GrinGrinGrin It makes me giggle quite often Blush

Want2bSupermum · 04/07/2018 04:05

The lady who was running late for her smear and gave herself a quick wipe with a facecloth that happened to be covered in glitter. The doctor had said something and then she realized what she had done.
