To ask for the most shocking threads you've seen

[FiddlesticksAndCustard]

Just that really, I love reading classics but thought I'd see if anyone remembered any others that we particularly funny/shocking/ full of CFs etc...

[Burnt0range]

One about abortion and how many people agreed with it. It made me sick to my stomach.

[IhateBoswell]

Don't think I was on the thread, but I also agree with abortion.

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

Oh yes the pram in the shared hallway thread was amazing! I'm sure that's in classics.

[Magicstar1]

@Bluntness100 that’s the first one I thought of. I often think of her and hope she’s away from him and having a better life.

[Rainbunny]

The Mexican House thief was the ultimate thread for me, world class cheeky fuckery that hasn't been topped (as far as I know?)

What is this "Savernake Forest" thread?

[Ultramic]

The one where the OP met with so-called friends who then openly 'joked' about her sexual abuse history. Mumsnet pulled the thread as a few went troll hunting but it was reinstated.

Awful.

[Cerseilannisterinthesnow]

The screaming at paintings thread was hilarious it’s just made me think of the actual scream painting in real life 😂😂

[BitOutOfPractice]

I neeeeeeed to read the Savernake Forest one. I've been googling but can't find it

[FlibbertyGiblets]

The poster, a man, who confessed jauntily to kidnapping a neighbours barky dog and dumped it many miles away. The dog never came back. Poster eventually flounced because we couldn't get past the dreadfulness. Good riddance.

[BartonHollow]

They are hard to find because you remember the content but not the title but this is the woman who couldn't understand why her SIL was upset

otheractivities. I'd not heard of MN until DD and friends were screaming with laughter at penis beaker.
I was shocked at the gradual unfolding of unsuspected adultery one February 14th. He'd hidden the tickets for a late night romantic film in his pencil case.
There was a nasty fake thread about a traumatised a little boy who wouldn't leave the climbing frame in his school playground. Luckily a social worker posted and blew it out of the water.
Then there was the complicated (and fake) saga of the scared poster isolated in the country with hostile neighbours skulking about and leaving weird shiny objects othe lonely path where she walked her dog. Why do they make up these posts? Bored I guess.

[joanmcc]

The poster who wanted to abort one twin of two, completely at random. People were horrified but MN pulled the thread when a few posters asked the majority to reconcile their pro-choice stance with their comments in the thread.

[PlumpSyrianHamster]

The FIL poo crumbs one.

When HugeJars and Karl's affair was rumbled.

When CVQ was outed as a troll.

There was one extremely sad one from an OP who's sister was ultimately bullied into a 20-week termination by her controlling partner despite desperately wanting a child and being in her 30s and he promised her they'd have another one later - there was so many coming forward with stories about how the twats they were still with had bullied them into terminations, including one who saw twins on the scan and still went through with it.

The virtue signalling ones are hilarious. The one from an OP whose elderly mother who suffered from mental health problems had a tramp breaking into her garden shed and what she should do. Cue dozens detailing how they'd take him a 'welfare pack', flasks of soup and tea, bedding, blah blah blah. There was another from an OP who had inherited a house from her grandmother and needed to move the tenants out so she could sell it. One particular person told her to give the tenants the house because they deserved it. Still another was from an OP who let a room in her house on AirB&B. The listing was very specific that no children could be accommodated. Still some CF tried it on and she said NO. So the lady said, okay, I'll just come on my own and then showed up with a toddler in tow and kicked off outside when the OP refused to permit her entry. All these virtue signallers banged on and on about how unkind they were and should have let them in, made them dinner, given her bed to them, provided the CF with nappies, all sorts of total bollocks.

[Returnofthesmileybar]

BartonHollow thank you, off to boil the kettle first

[Rainbunny]

The Mexican House thief is a post included in this thread (containing many other breathtaking examples of cheeky fuckery), search for the poster: WeAreEternal to find the Mexico saga!

I think the Savernake Forest is on page 2.

[PixieMiss]

Ooh a few that have already been mentioned - Mexican House Thief, supersoaker mum, snapped and farted, screaming at paintings etc.

But I also remember one who posted her little boy had luekemia but turned out to be a troll. Was it Ollies Army or something?

[joanmcc]

Did OP ever come back on the snapped and farted thread? If not, then that was pretty ridiculous playground-level overreaction from lot of posters to one typo.

[BitOutOfPractice]

Thank you so much @haverhill that's really kind of you. Off to read it now

[redexpat]

The first one I ever read was truly shocking. It was my introduction to emotionally abusive parents. Eventually the op went NC and posted an update.

The thing that I find shocling still is the sheer volume of threads where the op is about one thing but that reveals wider problems. Usually an abusive relationship.

[redexpat]

Oh and garlic arse was v funny.

[alltoomuchrightnow]

interested to read the Savernake one...it's one of my favourite places.

[BartonHollow]

@joanmcc

I'm glad you've said it, most unfunny and overrated thread ever. She made a typo and instead of addressing her issue people just behaved like 13 year olds and still go on about it as though it was the peak of MN Hilarity.

The Mortificado thing was far funnier

[TrackerBar]

Does anybody remember the thread a few years back about a poster whose ds or dd had unknowingly taken her dirty knickers to school and the whole class saw them! Can't remember other details but it was hilarious.

[CigarsofthePharoahs]

Lemon Drizzle cake thread is the funniest I've ever read.

My general rule of thumb is that the more shocking a thread is, the more likely it is to be a troll so as not to get pulled in.
I lurked on BabyNameChange's threads and I still hope things turned out for the best for her and her child.
