As we approach the end of the year, what has been your MN highlights? The threads that have made you laugh, cry, or that you remember for some other reason.

I remember a post about being unhappy paying for a meal in a hotel because a mix up with a starter. Another post about PIL asking for money for broken wine glass.

OP posts:

The parking thread where a couple went to work and would come home and there was always next door neighbour's carers car in their driveway and a looney man called.... I can't remember what.... it was a scream! Best parking thread ever

Raven was my fave (£4 from Argos)
Boswell was my worst!

I'm looking forward to reading some of the ones mentioned on here that I somehow missed at the time.

DrMidgeryMargery · 30/12/2018 22:53

I’m looking forward to catching up on the snapped and farted one, somehow I missed that first time round.

My favourite recent one was the AIBU about whether showing your lady parr’s was a thing. For one, it was such a random concept - NO IT IS NOT A THING, and two, I genuinely laughed at the descriptions two posters gave of their own aforementioned parts: ‘mine looks like two mice fighting in a bag’ and another looked like a ‘punched lasagne.’

The one where the OP was incandescent with rage about the good rep dolphins have when really they are ruthless sociopaths.

The rhythmless man one!!

JimandPam · 30/12/2018 23:11

Two stand out to me

-Penis breath... where a boyfriend kissed his partner and said he could smell another mans penis on her breath and was convinced she was cheating 😆

-The second was asking if someone's personality could change the way you felt about someone. This woman saw a bloke and rated him '4/10' but then realised he was successful and became '9/10' and decided she wanted to be stepmom to his kids. I'm not sure she'd even spoken to him

Both hilarious

And obviously snapped and farted

Penis breath

Snapped and farted? I really didn't get why that caused such hilarity. Hmm

Can't think of any favourites. Unfortunately MN is trolled so much...

stopitandtidyupp · 30/12/2018 23:18

The raffle prize where the teacher ' flirted' with a Mum.

I was sad it got deleted.

userschmoozer · 30/12/2018 23:26

I've lost the link but there was a baby name one where people just kept posting puns, I hope someone can find it.

Its not a funny one but I loved ''I work in a crematorium AMA'' which is in Classics.

MamaLovesMango · 30/12/2018 23:27

I’m with Relaxx, the one where OP woke up to find out she was dead via FB.

Absolutely batshit. I often wonder how it all pannned out in the end.

iRememberNow · 30/12/2018 23:28

Snapped and farted? I really didn't get why that caused such hilarity.
Really? She was so angry at her boyfriend she farted. The way she casually dropped that into the story was great.

DanielleEvans · 30/12/2018 23:30

Any chance someone could post a link for the shitting man thread?

Nothisispatrick · 30/12/2018 23:33

I also enjoyed the one where op got in to a shouting match with hotel staff because they brought out a starter at the same time as the mains. Apparently the children were delirious with hunger and tiredness from travelling, and op and her husband expected them all to sit there and watch while daddy ate a starter. Children in tears, staff shouting, late at night and staff were trying to close up, they refused to pay. It was mental.

PawneeParksDept · 30/12/2018 23:33

@CrimpBrunette

She updated on a later thread (what happened to etc) that they Did indeed get together, she stopped posting after feeling she was over sharing and a few accusations it was too well written Hmm

userschmoozer · 30/12/2018 23:33

Here you go, the saga of Shitting Man;

Nothisispatrick · 30/12/2018 23:33

I assumed snapped and farted was a typo! Was it not?

DanielleEvans · 30/12/2018 23:35

Ooh thanks uerschmoozer 👍

Whateveryoudoordontdo · 30/12/2018 23:36

The rhythmless man and the shoeless children. Priceless.

Imalittleelf · 30/12/2018 23:39

Softzilla
Titzilla
The pil? And the broken wine glass
The haunted air bnb
The air bnb and the spilt red alcohol left lying about
The tumble dryer being used by someone?
Bloody boswell twatface and his post office

HappyGoLuckyGo · 30/12/2018 23:45

Gosh yes, the dolphin rage! OP was furious that these evil rapists sea creatures are portrayed so positively; totally bizarre thread.

A pp above has reminded me of the young OP who had found out she was pregnant but hid it for ages and finally told her mum at like, 7-8 months along? Lovely happy ending.

So pleased to hear builders romance OP ended up with CG! Grin

HappyGoLuckyGo · 30/12/2018 23:46

Oh, and badger with rice had me crying with laughter and has become famous in our household.

redexpat · 30/12/2018 23:46

Dh drank the mooncup water!

Softzilla was fascinating.

mrsclausisdrunk · 30/12/2018 23:47

She didn't get together with the builder did she? I thought nothing happened and she wanted to stop commenting?

Joyeuxjoel · 30/12/2018 23:48
