What comment have you read, maybe a long time ago, that you still remember?
I still remember one MNer insisting a 4 year old should be able to walk a mile in 12 minutes. Mine are obviously slackers.

The OP who’d left her mooncup soaking in a mug of hot water after rinsing it it, then took the mooncup back upstairs but didn’t empty the mug and came back to find her DH had drunk the water and she didn’t know whether to tell him or not. That and some of the responses had me crying with laughter.

I loved the exhortation to "never wrestle with a pig. You both get covered in mud and the pig loves it".

How a poster was nasty for not keeping in contact with her ILs even though they treated her terribly and the MIL even stole from her because MIL is fffaaaaaammmily.

The lady who said she had a fanjo like a wizard's sleeve made me laugh so much I cried real tears Grin

PinkDaydreams · 27/01/2019 10:23

Oh my god I can’t stop laughing at “your minge!” I hate the word minge but that’s really tickled me. Is there a link to the thread?

Njordsgrrrl · 27/01/2019 10:26

CAT me you cunt!

Gigglebrain · 27/01/2019 10:31

'Where the OP mistakenly called her toddler a tiny wanker instead of whiny tinker in a packed G.P waiting room'

This just had me crying with laughter, and refusing to tell my boys why I was laughing 😂😂😂

Sassenach85 · 27/01/2019 10:37

I have actually just cried with laughter at some of these! Had some onion rings crisps and gave myself half an hours peace to sit and piss myself laughing! Thank youuuuuuu

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 27/01/2019 10:51

Someone posted last year 'Other people's life-choices are not criticisms of your life-choices, you narcissistic numpty'. (Or something very similar).

If everyone internalised the truth of that, half of AIBU would disappear.

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 27/01/2019 10:53

Years ago now, I think it was around Valentine's Day, a poster declared He's taking me up The Shard tonight. Cue lots of anal innuendo

ReaganSomerset · 27/01/2019 11:01

how do you push recalcitrant floaty turds round the u-bend?

You lay a few sheets of toilet paper on top and flush. The force of the water on the paper surface pushes them down. FWIW I do own toilet brushes but have never wielded them for the purpose of turd poking.

Grin you're welcome.

WoollyMummoth · 27/01/2019 11:02

OMG I’ve only got to page 4 on this thread and I’ve had to stop cos I’m crying with laughter and can’t see the words properly!!
Sorry to lower the tone but my favourites are on the classic thread about sharting, spent an afternoon reading them out to my teenage son both of us couldn’t breath for laughing!!

littlemisscynical · 27/01/2019 11:07

The one about the poster banding their own haemorrhoids 🤣

JamAtkins · 27/01/2019 11:16

Years ago I read that you shouldn’t be driving unless you are strong enough to single-handedly release machine tightened wheel nuts.

Pmsl at ‘plasterers radio’

Icequeen01 · 27/01/2019 11:25

I can't remember exactly how it went but the one comment that has always stuck with me was when a poster said one day you will pick up your child and put them down again and that will be the last time you ever pick them up. She put it much more eloquently than that but it was so true and made me cry!

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 11:27

I remember that Ice. Also the last time they ever go in the pushchair etc.

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 27/01/2019 11:38

A post I've just seen (hats off to MrsBertBibby):

'Hats off to you OP for maintaining such high self esteem with so few resources. Impressive.'

Icequeen01 · 27/01/2019 11:41

Oh yes that too Sparkling. Stupid thing was when I read the one about picking up your child my DS was 17 so was well past picking him up anyway but was just so poignant!

DareDevil223 · 27/01/2019 11:41

@hazandduck

You are most welcome. I think off it as a public service Grin

I first read it at work and nearly did myself a mischief trying to suppress hysterical laughter.

AdobeWanKenobi · 27/01/2019 11:42

Anyone recall the one years ago where a woman had been roared at loudly in a department store loo for some slight or other and the poster who suggested that perhaps she should have bought her a creme egg?
Brilliant.

SnowdropFox · 27/01/2019 12:08

"Prop baby" had me howling with laughter last month! Grin

Clionba · 27/01/2019 12:17

Anyone remember the thread about "Hooters"?! One woman vehemently arguing that it was a family friendly restaurant and her family made a 4 hour round trip to get there "because of the quality of the chicken wings"!!

dancemom · 27/01/2019 12:27

@SophiaLovesSummer that was meeeeee! That's my life quote!
I'd rather be left on the shelf than be put in the wrong cupboard

Sassenach85 · 27/01/2019 12:33

Omg!! I am literally crying after having gone off to check out the snapped and farted thread!! I'm only on page 6!!

FangTasticBeast · 27/01/2019 12:35

Your minge thread was by TSC who had her posting history deleted a long time ago
