Most amazing comment you have read on MN?

[marymarkle]

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.

Anyone remember the poster who made herself out to be a rich business woman, but is actually a nanny or a maid? Those threads always made me laugh!

@Drogosnextwife snapped and catered is almost as funny! Imagine knowing you'd pushed someone to their limit because during an argument they brought out a heaving buffet trolley Vienetta would be the sign of a proper argument

"Wedding ones are often very entertaining.
Remember the woman who was upset because her bridesmaid had joined the Navy and now couldn't attend because of training commitments?! Imagine the Royal Navy not consulting the bride!" God yes I remember that one! Bonkers she was!

Also one where the bridezilla was losing it cos a bridesmaid had dyed their hair 'a ridiculous colour' but wouldn't say what! All kinds of guesses, purple Mohicans being imagined etc turned out to be a perfectly acceptable auburn! Unfortunately she had it deleted 'privacy concerns'

"If everyone internalised the truth of that, half of AIBU would disappear." True but that's no fun at all 😂

Also true often if people just TALKED to each other and were honest about their feelings - that'd wipe most of relationships board too!

"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." I have Dx OCD and generally avoid such threads as they do induce anxiety but I was highly amused to discover there was a name for what I do which is lay some paper down BEFORE pooing in order to avoid splashback. A "splash pad"

I do think there's quite a few mners with undx OCD with the very frequent bed/towel changing, no shoes on carpet, anti loo brush etc (if they're telling the truth which I'm sceptical of some of the most extreme examples). Which makes me sad as its a rotten condition to have to deal with.

It's the amount of posters who read something on here and take it as gospel.

Believing that a Sootikins is real.

For months we had posters declaring that bleach didn't clean, it just made everything white.

Likewise the amazement that we all don't follow or want the same life path.

I agree re undiagnosed OCD and also controlling personalities.

Definitely (in response to too much swearing nowadays)

"Off you fuck then cunty chops"

That expectation vs reality thread is good

Agree with the one about not knowing when the last time you pick your child up will be.

Ds2 is napping like shite at the moment so he's often sleeping on me like a newborn, although he's a chunky 19m old. But I keep looking at him and thinking - one day we won't do this anymore! sob

@LeSquigh I was the same after my c section. As soon as I woke up the morning after ds was born I asked when I could get the catheter out and be mobile. They said whenever you feel up to it. I was up and about by midday though taking it very easy obviously. Didn't take any more pain killers from when I got home either, which was after three days.

Re "the last time you do X with your child..."

Dd is almost 18 and so I've been thinking about things like this a lot

I seem to have been drawn to a lot of co-sleeping threads recently then I twigged, it's cos I miss that with her - in reality I wouldn't want to! She's over 6' now and has always slept like a wrestling octopus so I'd wake up battered & bruised (something even the boyfriend has complained of he's currently sporting an absolute cracker on his shin from her! poor sod)

But I did used to love snuggling up and reading or watching films and it bugs me I can't remember when the last time was.

A thread where the OP had asked what she should do as a treat as she had a few hours to herself. First answer was “have a wank”. I laughed for about a week.

OMG, BellMcEnd that was me
At least 3 user names ago. It amused me when I wrote it, but I assumed it wouldn't have really been noticed amongst all the sensible advice that was posted!

Well played defectiveinspector for the first mention of "your minge". Still laughing.

Snapped and farted

What is "I am Angela Hernandez"?

A quote I remember - "Should I put the father on the birth certificate, I don't know him that well"

I judged, and I judged harshly

“Urinated on the chair” had me laughing out loud. I can’t even remember what the typo was now.

I read the snapped and farted thread at the time but I never worked out what it was supposed to say. Was it an autocorrect or something?

I think snapped and farted should have read snapped and shouted (or something similar)

TheFuckFaceWhisperer it was 'up the Oxo tower'

OMG @QueenieMum I'm crying! 😂😂😂

My all time fave has got to be:

"Now bugger off! And good day to you!"

I use it so frequently in my head .

Years ago an OP came home to find her DH had left her out of the blue and taken every single thing he'd bought, even the Chutney.

Her ex-DH was referred to as CHUNTY for the rest of the 3/4, possibly more threads.

I can't look at Chutney without thinking of the OP, I'm fairly sure she named changed but I still think of her and hope she's in a good place now

Ooooh oooh

‘I think that’s a smint’

Does anyone remember that one? Woman thought her husband was cheating on her and taking viagra?

“Snapped and farted” was NOT a typo, the OP explained she had IBS (as if that made it a perfectly reasonable way to resolve an argument ).

My favourite was the guy who came on here saying he was happy to explain the internet to all the confused mums, and someone said she was so glad he’d arrived because she’d just been bashing the keyboard with her tits and hoping for the best! 😂

"It's semen, not wheelie bin juice" - can't remember what the thread was actually about though

An AIBU thread about whether the op should just go to bed and empty her washing machine in the morning, as she was knackered. A few replies saying "yeahh just leave it til tomorrow" etc followed by one saying "it'll be creased to fuck." still makes me laugh now

My favourite was the guy who came on here saying he was happy to explain the internet to all the confused mums, and someone said she was so glad he’d arrived because she’d just been bashing the keyboard with her tits and hoping for the best! 😂

OMG I remember that! I’m crying.

There was a poster complaining about the foodstuffs food banks were requesting. The poor shouldn’t at chocolate kinda thing. She said it would be far more nutritious to donate oatcakes and kidney beans and they could eat the two together 🙄

I remember the food banks one. It was very heartening that she got handed her arse back to her.
