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.

‘Babies are cunts’

I was searching for help to get my newborn pfb to sleep in her cot and I found this on mumsnet. I knew I’d found my people.

The thread where the family rabbit had died and the dc dug it up had me crying with laughter whilst the elderly Korean lady thread made me smile

UbercornsGoggles · 27/01/2019 00:05

Just wondering. If you don't have a loo brush how do you push recalcitrant floaty turds round the u-bend?

"There was someone on here a few weeks ago saying they thought it was rude to blow your nose in front of someone and that nose blowing should be undertaken in private. I was too stunned to reply."

Isn't this how they see it in Japan?

When ever someone says pearl clutching or stop clutching your pearls always makes me giggle i dont know why!

StableGenius · 27/01/2019 00:13

Screaming in the Sistine Chapel was the best ever. I'm not convinced it really happened though.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 27/01/2019 00:14

A thread about how cereal is apparently shit in a box, where one poster said she gave her kids half an avocado and a handful of walnuts for breakfast. Aka Nestle Cookie Crisp I reckon.

There was another thread where the OP had been yelled at by another woman for using a hand dryer in the public bogs and someone said she should have taken her for coffee and cake because she must have been having a hard time.

Oh, and a thread where someone was in a big queue in WH Smiths I think it was, and the woman in front of her was getting crosser and crosser until she just stomped out still holding the card she was going to buy. Cue loads of replies diagnosing her with mental health problem and basically calling the OP a liar. No wonder the poor woman was huffing as she must have been stuck behind all those mnetters who were clearly there at the time too and knew what happened better than the OP ...

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

I thought it was just me, I am not alone!!

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 00:16

I have bathroom bins so that visitors can use them and not have to feel uncomfortable. The threads about them are always bonkers and have amazing comments on. Must be time for one about now.

'Pearl clutching' is very overused and doesn't really mean anything, just used to disagree with people and put them down.

StubbleTurnips · 27/01/2019 00:17

There’s one somewhere about the strangest arguments you’ve had - someones DP didn’t “believe in” manatees.

I literally howled with laughter.

RCohle · 27/01/2019 00:17

Even the words "screaming in the Sistine Chapel" has got me pissing myself again.

I also loved the DH who ate a fat ball.

Iamtheworst · 27/01/2019 00:22

Um ok, I’ll admit I was the virus stored in fat person. But i am dieting and becoming a bit obsessed with the things that are stated as fact.

Somewhereovertheroad · 27/01/2019 00:27

OMG i had completely forgotten the spoony fucker thread. GrinGrin

grenadezombie · 27/01/2019 00:28

Snapped and farted randomly pops in to my head still and makes me chuckle. Rather annoying when I'm shopping alone or at work.

MyMuffinsStuck · 27/01/2019 00:32

"And you can put that penis beaker away for starters"

Best comment on penis beaker thread, me and DH still bandy it about from time to time if one of us does/says something dumb!

And "Wankee candles" from the thread where the Ops homemade candles turned in to giant veiny cocks and she was contemplating giving one to MIL 😂😂😂

spudlet7 · 27/01/2019 00:35

@Iamtheworst if it makes you feel better, toxins are stored in fat? But probably not viruses lol

Yes, the Colonel Gaddafi one!!

Can only read that one on an empty bladder. #shouldhavedonemykegels

Cantthinkofabloodyname · 27/01/2019 00:59

Reading one thread on really heavy & painful periods. One poster likened the pain to "a velociraptor ripping apart my uterus".

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 27/01/2019 01:00

It was a revelation when a poster years ago declared that Weetabix has a top and a bottom. Then two pictures, one with a flat side (bottom) and one with a slightly convex side. I've never looked at Weetabix the same since

JasperKarat · 27/01/2019 01:00

This thread is brilliant. I just laugh/snorted at Colonel Gaddafi and Suzi Quattro's fat man, disturbed DS who.promptly bit my nipple. Worth it.

Not a comment but the thread where the OPs DP had eaten the fat balls she'd made for the birds thinking they were some kind of snack 😂

SophiaLovesSummer · 27/01/2019 01:00

Oh my, just so so many! Funny ones, waspish ones, sad ones. The ones that immed spring to mind are:

CANCEL THE CHEQUE - the definitive thread behind the simple premise of RTFT Grin

The news that Zombie had, blessedly, passed peacefully. There was a full on vigil here for days as she deteriorated and many candles lit Star

'Be off with you' (from the Jolly hockeysticks neighbour of an MNer faced with extreme cheeky fuckery but Mrs Jolly saved the day).

'I'd rather be on the right shelf than in the wrong cupboard (can't remember thread for the life of me but that phrase stuck).

NoShitHemlock · 27/01/2019 01:07

Another vote for FOTTFSOF and then fuck off some more - its now part of my daily vocabulary Grin

And I am also quite partial to "not my circus, not my monkeys", tho I usually save this one for work Wink

KC225 · 27/01/2019 01:20

mymuffinsstuck Glad to see 'wankee candles' on this thread. I was the one who suggested she market those molten wax beauties as wankee candles

Balaboosteh · 27/01/2019 01:27

No one ever mentions this one but I loved the one where the OP said, my husband used to be bisexual. He goes running in the woods. After he comes home, I find his running clothes in the laundry basket and they’re covered in white stains. AIBU to be concerned about what he’s getting up to in the woods? To which the reply was: YABU. Why isn’t he doing his own laundry?!

Balaboosteh · 27/01/2019 01:28

Oh, and “javelin arse”.
