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.

"You should give them the house, but you won't do that will you" which was a comment on a thread about someone who had just inherited a house that had a sitting tenant. The OP was wondering what to do about the tenant, whether to sell the house etc. Apparently if you already own a house and then inherit one then you should give the second one away Shock an actual fucking house.

WinterBluez · 26/01/2019 21:45

The thread about absorbent vaginas had some amusing replies 😁
Oh and Baby Keith... saw the name Keith on something unrelated yesterday and nearly pissed myself 🤣

PerpendicularVincent · 26/01/2019 21:46

Someone who suggested that the solution to a poster worrying about her DH having an affair was to spread rumours about the OW, arrange a fake meeting between them and turn up herself to confront the OW and tell her that DH was fed up of her. I still think WTF even now.

Another memorable one for me was someone defending a parent who didn't stop their child breaking a window, because they may have been late for work Hmm

Stevienickssleeves · 26/01/2019 21:48

I'll never forget the one about changing bedding. There was a well known poster who said she changes her every day.

Another one, may have been the same poster, who ties a ribbon around each clean towel like at. Boutique hotel.

Many threads where mnetters say they don't have loo brushes as they are unhygienic. Well how do they clean their loo I'd like to know!

PositiveVibez · 26/01/2019 21:52

The OP who told her mil she was the carcass.

They thread was hilarious. Someone posted 'I'm carcatuss' or something similar. Made me proper lol.

tillytrotter1 · 26/01/2019 21:53

There was one a few months back debating whether one wipes one's derriere back to front or front to back

This thread was generally hilarious, among other things. Somewhere on those 28 pages, there was a poster saying that she'd heard that gay men had to keep tampons in there anuses to stop them shitting when they sneezed.Confused

midsomermurderess · 26/01/2019 21:58

Recently: that drawing a state pension if you are well off is sponging.

MrsKoala · 26/01/2019 21:58

The one I still laugh at is when someone said giving your kids weetabix was just giving them shit in a box. There was also a long thread about sausage mash and beans being the worst food you could give children.

Oh and 'why are there people saying they can't afford food when the blackberry bushes are full' and 'why don't poor people pick up slow cookers from car boot sales' was particularly jaw dropping.

WunderBlah · 26/01/2019 21:59

No. is a complete sentence
ODFUTTFSOF and then when you get there Fuck Off some more.
Sorry that doesn't work for us.
Oh and this week I learned that sandwiches for lunch is child abuse.
The poster whose neighbour completely stole a holiday home was Shock

BalthazarsAThirstyBitch · 26/01/2019 21:59

Cluster of clits.
A comment on a very funny thread in classics now I think, I still laugh when I think of that.

Loyaultemelie · 26/01/2019 22:00

Can'tfindname that one came in really handy at 34 weeks pregnant awaiting a heart scan when a grumpy bugger decided to start on me about how others (I was on foot but he thought I had gotten out of a badly parked car) parked at school run time! Sadly I hadn't yet read "off you fuck cuntychops" or I'd probably have thrown that one in too.

Fiddie · 26/01/2019 22:00

Years ago there was a thread with the OP saying she was in shock having just seen two women in wheelchairs having a fight.

The first comment was "Do you live in Scotland?"

It really tickled me.

Bloodybridget · 26/01/2019 22:02

Ages ago, someone said that at rush hour, when London Tube platforms get very crowded, probably no-one would notice if a small child fell onto the rails.

PowerhouseOfTheCell · 26/01/2019 22:03

OP wanted to build an extension on her new house but her neighbours were complaining

Commenter 'why didn't you just buy a bigger house if you wanted a conservatory/laundry room'

Yes because every can just out right buy Buckingham fucking Palace Hmm

mycatplotsdeath · 26/01/2019 22:03

That vaginas are self cleaning
That a family shares bath water

marymarkle · 26/01/2019 22:04

Powerhouse That reminds me of a comedy sketch show from the 80s where these two very posh characters said they could not understand how anyone could get lost in London, as all you had to do was take a taxi.

OP posts:
marymarkle · 26/01/2019 22:05

mycat it is true that vaginas are self cleaning internally.

OP posts:
CallMeVito · 26/01/2019 22:07

some of the posts on PFB, equally heart warming and hilarious:

the mother removing one item of clothing to ensure her child was wearing one more.
the mother squirting shampoo in her eyes to check it was tear-free
the mother squashing her finger in her door after her toddler did - I can't remember if it was to make the pain less for the child, or checking how bad it would be

One of the very few threads where I did laugh.

Fezzik · 26/01/2019 22:09

Fiddie that made me lol too.

However the best comment ever is still "I AM CANADIAN"

FromDespairToHere · 26/01/2019 22:09

I'm always aghast at the "we only have £2000 after all our bills are paid, are we on the breadline?" ones. And the "well why don't you move house/school/job" like that's so easy.

KatharinaRosalie · 26/01/2019 22:10

OP posted that someone had parked so close in a supermarket car park that she had to gently touch her car door against the car next to it, to be able to open the door and get the car seat with the baby in. And was she U.

Poster claimed that absolutely, she herself would never touch someone's car. She would have put the baby and the car seat down in the middle of the parking lot and reversed the car out.

treaclesoda · 26/01/2019 22:10

I once saw a poster who said that ever since having children she had made sure to never have a nap or a lie in when her children were in the house because she thought it was important for a parent to always be available. Which is perfectly normal if the children are under the age of 5 but less understandable in her case because her offspring were now in their 20s. I'm still not sure if she was serious or was subtly trolling. I'd love to think it was the latter but I've read some mad stuff on here so who knows?

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 26/01/2019 22:10

I have two:

"May her next poo be a hedgehog"

And
(On a thread about horrible in-laws who also had a horrible and aggressive dog) a poster wrote

"OMG! Even the dog's a cunt"

Scandaloso · 26/01/2019 22:12

That vaginas are self cleaning

They are! Although there was a thread a couple of months ago where someone was insistent that a wire brush and a bottle of fairy liquid was the only way to go. Maybe you are she!
