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.

Ok so I havent found the Sistine Chapel thread amusing at all Confused Although I was crying with laughter in bed last night reading some of the other one liner type things. “Soil yourself OP” being one. Also the attachment of the cat eating ham. And the woman running through the kitchen bare breasted Grin

There was an amusing thread many yrs ago about some Chilean miners who were trapped underground for 65 days. Only the thread was about mners trapped instead.

Sparklingbrook, I re-read Snapped and Farted while trying to have breakfast. I couldn't eat as a result. I was crying so much that my nose blocked up, and DD thought I had a cold when she emerged from her lair.

The very best thing about it is that the OP is so very serious about it all. The very thought of it is making me laugh again now. Grin

Stretchoutandwait · 04/07/2018 10:45

Yes TONGA!!! I knew it was somewhere fairly obscure. The OP got so cross with a anyone who made any suggestions that weren't TONGA. Shame it got deleted.

Remembered a few more (I don't think they've already been mentioned - but I have been skim reading Blush).

The OP who thought she'd discovered a genius idea for warming her plates before dishing up. Put them in the tumble dryer. Loads of amusing comments until someone finally stopped the OP's bewilderment at the hilarity when they said something along the lines of "and what do you think tumble means?!"

The OP who was "fumming" when her DS wasn't given a part in the school nativity play - even though she'd told the school that she "didn't believe in God and all that shit".

A shortish one in Chat, long gone now. The OP and her family lived in a chocolate box cottage on a huge estate in an AONB, her DH worked on the estate. The grounds of the estate were open to the public, but she was getting pissed off with complete strangers wandering into their own private garden. She was asking for ideas to deter them. Many sensible ideas followed, plus other stories of people finding strangers in their gardens. But the comment that made me chortle was someone saying "next time, get your DH to yell out of the window "Maureen, get the gimp masks out - we have guests"".

Just make sure it's not a small rodent Umbongo 😉

VenusStarr · 04/07/2018 11:07

This thread is brilliant, keep them coming :)

NotUmbongoUnchained · 04/07/2018 12:47

perf can you imagine if I had posted about that in AIBU Grin

IgamOgamJones · 04/07/2018 12:56

Funniest thing I've read on here was years ago by a poster called Rose Petle or Petel, there was one called Hamwich which was hilarious and another about a woman who said something to he daughter, I had no idea what she was on about but I laughed until I cried.

dingdongdigeridoo · 04/07/2018 13:01

There was a thread a while ago where OP had an autocorrect fail and wrote that her DH was having a ‘willy off’ with the neighbour. The thread got about a million replies asking what a willy off means and what she meant to type, but sadly she never came back to explain.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 04/07/2018 13:05

Umbongo do it! Do it! 😂

Blueisland · 04/07/2018 13:10

‘Steak out’ rather than ‘stake-out’

GoldenPlatitudes · 04/07/2018 13:12

The MNer, who's dad once had to do a press conference on the Civil Liberty Lobby, and called it the Civil Liberty Lobberty throughout Grin

IjustbelieveinMe · 04/07/2018 13:34

The woman who got stuck in the attic with her legs dangling down and had to be rescued by firemen whilst she was wearing a swimming costume.

IjustbelieveinMe · 04/07/2018 13:39

There was also one about how you think you look in your mind and then the reality when you look in the mirror or something? One woman wrote about looking like the singer from Roxette. Another realised she looked like a fat matchstick with her ref hair. It was very funny.

MindatWork · 04/07/2018 13:55

The first thread I ever read on here (god knows how I landed on it) was about the various trials and tribulations of having to look after the class teddy/stuffed toy.

Posters were sharing their tales of woe - lost / damaged toys, nothing interesting to write in the holiday book, etc.

One poster related the story of how her DC's class cuddly frog toy got dropped down the Grand Canyon Grin, It was the relating of her echoing shout "the bloody frog's fallen in the canyoooooooooooooon' that killed me

Kpo58 · 04/07/2018 14:02

The thread with the title "You have 1 week to microwave your dog". It should have been microchip...

And any with DP sitting with their bits in natural yoghurt after getting in contact with chillis (because I'm childish and it always makes me giggle).

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 04/07/2018 14:21

I have so many threads on my watch list now.

Thanks to whoever mentioned the min min one - I'd never got round to reading it and it's one that always gets mentioned here.

Whitney168 · 04/07/2018 14:21

This thread has had me crying laughing, I barely dare go and read the full versions.

SavageBeauty73 · 04/07/2018 14:26

I'm actually laughing out loud at Civil Liberty Lobberty 😂😂😂😂

I'm Angela Ferdenez always makes me laugh.

I laughed so much on the works drinks disgrace thread.

Idontbelieveinthemoon · 04/07/2018 14:34

One poster wrote that her DC called her DH "Daddy" and called her "Not Daddy" - still makes me smile.

This was my youngest darling child! DH still occasionally shouts "not the Mama" at me, just to remind me that despite birthing the child's enormous head, I'm not the most important person in his life!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 04/07/2018 14:50

There was a thread a woman posted about her friend, who was complaining that her new boyfriend didnt last an hour of PIV sex that her previous boyfriend did.

One poster said, "What? Does she have a tin plated fanny?"

That had me randomly laughing for a week.

IHaveBrilloHair · 04/07/2018 14:58

I'm the weirdo up thread with the mad Noel Gallagher eyebrowsGrin
I was in hospital recently and sent Dd a text saying, "I've forgotten my tweezers"
I was in HDU at the time but was still worried about my eyebrows.
