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.

Ooh, the “cleaner is as essential as running water” comment reminded me of a poster stating that they thought it was illegal for families with children to live in flats, wasn’t it? I wish I’d taken a screenshot or something because I’ve never seen a more gobsmacking example of sheltered ignorance.

The truth is some people have eating disorders and some people have a shit diet. Both seem to want to compete on MN to convince themselves their way of eating is normal.

Yeah. Completely agree. Eating disorders are vile things (I'm anorexic), but why, and not just here, people want to make it competitive I've no idea. Will be an Olympic sport at this rate, sponsored by Cadbury.

"Ooh, the “cleaner is as essential as running water” comment reminded me of a poster stating that they thought it was illegal for families with children to live in flats, wasn’t it?"

That reminds me of a thread I saw where a poster was asking how to arrange bedrooms did Iirc guests staying for a few nights but it included info that 2 of her (same sex too) children shared a room - one poster COMPLETELY lost her fricking mind over this! Called the op a child abuser and all sorts it was insane!

I took great delight in posting about the fact that until she MARRIED my mother not only shared a room with her 3 sisters but a bed!! 😂😂

I suspect she imploded as I don't think she came back again.

"We're struggling on low wages and long hours"
"Hire a cleaner" Confused

Absolutely you should, after all everybody just loves it when you have a nose bleed that would make Eyjafjallajokull jealous
Did you Google that, or can you actually spell it?

Comeymemo · 28/01/2019 18:01

The poster who insisted that refusing to walk 10 miles to a public library to make sure your child has plenty of books, is child abuse.

twentypencemore I remember that one where IamHelenaJustina thought the OP should not be a meany and should just give an elderly tenant the house that they had inherited. It was outrageous. The OP had inherited a house where the tenant had a very low rent and the deal was they was responsible foe the upkeep. They had let the place fall into disrepair and the OP didn't have the funds to fix it up and wanted to sell. The crazy comment was that even though it was the tenant's fault that the place was falling apart, the OP should just GIVE THEM THE HOUSE.

Oh only got as far as page 2 and howling with laughter....

CallmeVito sadly I have also purposefully squirted kids shampoo in my eye to see if it really was no more tears..... it wasn't and I apologised to my son for not believing him Grin

FrankieHeckisinTheMiddle · 28/01/2019 18:23

Not quite as extreme as handing over a house but have read some ridiculous suggestions on here that would never fly irl.

One was an op complaining about a recently retired colleague who couldn’t accept she’d left the office, kept turning up at least 2 or 3 times a week, hanging about disrupting everyone trying to work and demanding to be consulted on work policies and invited to all social nights. Op said she was driving them mad. Advice from MN? Op was apparently not very understanding and should talk to a manager about facilitating some part time hours for pest ex colleague. You couldn’t make it up.

The thread a month or so posted by a woman who had inherited a big house: her DBF of several months was refurbishing it for her into two dwellings... One of which she planned to GIVE him as payment for the refurb. Thank goodness she had started to see sense a few pages in.

This has to be one of the best threads everSmile

Clionba · 28/01/2019 19:19

There's another thread where a woman pulled out of a house purchase at the last minute because the vendor was emptying it out, and it didn't look as nice, and it was "dirty" GrinGrin

marymarkle · 28/01/2019 19:24

Oh no! If only it was possible to clean a house?

Someone saying their friend called spaghetti bolognese sketti bollocks. Still makes me chuckle

pictish · 28/01/2019 19:44

Clionba And was then shocked and distraught as she found she no longer had a house to move into.
Believed the vendor had ‘shafted’ her.
Confused Grin

There was a recent thread about how misguided we all are about dolphins and how they act so nice but are in fact inherently evil.
Really made me laugh

'I do have a soft spot for 'off you fuck then, cuntychops'.

With you on that one DoJo.

treaclesoda · 28/01/2019 20:09

I'm frequently amazed by how when person A does something absolutely terrible and person B fights back, there are usually dozens of people lining up to tell person B that they are just as bad.

'I punched my neighbours kitten in the face and slashed his tyres and he came out of the house and shouted at me. I'm alone with two small children and I'm a bit frightened of him'.

'OP, he's a bully, no one deserves to be spoken to like that. Call the police'

Confused
FrankieHeckisinTheMiddle · 28/01/2019 20:30

Appeasers are frequent on here too.

OP “neighbour just threw dog shit at my head for no reason”

MN “take flowers, chocolates and wine round, you don’t want ill feeling with neighbours”

Vixxxy · 28/01/2019 20:56

I think the first thread that made me proper laugh was the triangle fanny mist one. I also had no idea that happened to so many others for some reason, thought it was just me!

No is a complete sentence..is probably the best comment I have ever seen tbh.

PotteryLottery · 28/01/2019 21:33

Someone called me vulgar for wondering why my young daughter's classmate didn't reciprocate a Xmas present.

And also posted a definition of the word vulgar too. Hmm

Popcicle123 · 28/01/2019 21:38

This from the penis beaker thread. Still makes me cry laughing 😂

You've just had sex so I assume you are on fairly intimate terms. Even if you have an acid fanjo and his sperm is nine tenths itching powder, surely you can use the bathroom at the same time? You can wash your fanjo in the bath and he can scrub his cock in the sink.
