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'm Angela Hernandez' sets me off every time.

Tinkobell · 03/07/2018 20:11

I do love the photos of stuff like a fossilised turd and the opening question "Found this under the hedge today....any ideas what it might be?".... wow, yes maybe Roman gold!

spiderlight · 03/07/2018 20:12

Oh, and the recipe thread with a heading along the lines of 'I find minge makes a lovely meal'

LadysFingers · 03/07/2018 20:12

The link to a review on Trip Advisor about a theme park, and all it talked about were the delights of hours in queues and the wasps!

Tinkobell · 03/07/2018 20:13

I do love gross mysteries. The brimming, fetid wheely bin that stank......what she inside we wonder? How should the OP tackle this ticking time bomb with her shellac nails?

Clionba · 03/07/2018 20:13

Oh god, that Sistine Chapel screamer was hilarious.
There was a funny one recently about that famous MN bete noir, Tony Blair. One hysterical commentator wrote (in all seriousness) "Tony Blair broke the world!" I was actually gasping for air, I laughed so much!!!

flugelhorn81 · 03/07/2018 20:13

Sorry if I've missed it, but can someone explain the Angela Hernandez one?

My favourite was the Sistine Chapel, but was it actually a troll?

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 03/07/2018 20:13

Can't remember if they were on the same thread or not but two things that I always remember:

Poster who got her words mixed up and when called to her appt in (I think) her GPs, meant to say to her son 'come on you whiny tinker' but instead said 'come on you tiny wanker'.

Also someone who said they got furious with trying to scan a potato at self checkout and ended up shouting 'fuck off you fucking spud cunt'

😂😂😂😂

imnotreally · 03/07/2018 20:13

The one about the CFs who kept using the OPs villa. I cried through that one.

HushabyeMountainGoat · 03/07/2018 20:16

The woman who screamed at the Sistine Chapel

The thread about Take A Break stories. I was honestly crying laughing at it.

Tinkobell · 03/07/2018 20:17

The photo of a mysterious piece of a DP's anatomy featuring an infected zit, boil or some other noxious swelling......I always wonder whether or not the OP consults as a photo is being taken
"Hold still love, this ones going out to public consultation to about twenty million women" 😂

One a couple of years ago about a mum whose son was stealing large blocks of the cheese from the fridge and lying about it. Apparently he would stand there with his cheeks bulging with cheese and crumbs all around him and deny having even seen the cheese. That was reasonably funny but the bit that finished me off was that the post ended (quite seriously) ‘should I put a lock on the fridge?’

HarryDresdensLeatherDuster · 03/07/2018 20:23

The Elderly Korean Lady one was hilarious but I think my all time favourite was Paul the Pigeon. "Is that you Paul?' makes me cry every time!!

MrsGusset · 03/07/2018 20:24

I was very amused by a post on a thread about people using the wrong words Mrs Malaprop style.

Poster told the tale of going to lunch with a friend who asked the waiter for a side order of Dolphin Nose Potatoes.....

Angela Hernandez:

"I started a new role in my company and went to a conference with representatives from all the company sites who were now relying on me to ensure the correct products reach them with the correct test reports, labels and packaging.

I introduced myself by saying 'Good morning, my name is Angela Hernandez'. A voice from the back went, 'no, it isn't'. The real Angela Hernandez (our Quality Director), known to them all for the past 25 years, looked very confused as to why I was apparently trying to impersonate her. Not so confused as I looked, obviously.”

FreezerBird · 03/07/2018 20:25

the poster was hilarious in describing her DC completely stuck inside a pillow case at the top of the stairs. It was so funny I wish I could do it credit by remembering the damn thing

Oh yes, the description included the word 'weebling'. "A weebling pillowcase with eyes" perhaps. I remember hooting at that one because it's exactly the sort of stunt my two pull.

Also - it might have been on the Angela Hernandez thread - the poster who asked at work what number to dial for an outside line, was told '9' but for some reason was convinced the person was German, and was saying 'nein'. I don't know why that particular post has stayed with me but I only have to think about it to get sort of snorty giggles.

Tiny wanker 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tinkobell · 03/07/2018 20:27

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?" 😂

NotUmbongoUnchained · 03/07/2018 20:29

Actually I’ve just read the hulk thread and it’s brilliant Grin

Tinkobell · 03/07/2018 20:29

Such a sucker for a secret sealed box, mystery door-in-the-wall type thread....I'm sure they're all bollocks made up stock photography threads....but I just can't resist them!

TeaStory · 03/07/2018 20:30

He Has Eaten A Fat Ball. Tears of laughter every time, especially at “he complained it was ‘a bit greasy’!”.

I keep seeing the “your minge!” thread referenced here but I’ve never managed to find it. Does anyone have a link?

Clionba · 03/07/2018 20:30

Confused - why would she say she was Angela Hernandez if she wasn't??
Help me out, folks!

Soubriquet · 03/07/2018 20:30
