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.

OP posts:

"A discussion about milk where someone declares that milk is a food, not a drink and will not quench thirst" that reminds me of one where the poster said milk was a babies drink only! That nobody over the age of (I think they said 3) had any business drinking it straight! I love a cold glass of milk, very good for heartburn

Many, many, many comments from posters who CLEARLY have NO CLUE on what it's really like to be skint "just buy some salmons that goes lovely with pasta..." Type quotes when the op has said something like "I've only got in some pasta and herbs no protein and I've £5 to last 2 weeks..." 🙄 or "can't you renegotiate your X bill" well they can but its not going to solve the immediate issue!

"I'm always aghast at the "we only have £2000 after all our bills are paid, are we on the breadline?" ones." Yep them too!

Or long term sick/disabled and are struggling with basic day to day tasks "just do a little bit every day" when the poster is eg suffering from a condition where just getting out of bed is very painful.

Seriously, if you don't understand the issue why post?

As an ex nurse I've also seen many, many bizarre beliefs about the human body & the most appalling "medical" including first aid "advice" given including putting all sorts of nonsense on burns, and shockingly lax attitudes to sexual health & contraception.

Penis portions!

Almost a staple of Christmas dinner at the in laws threads now, one the poor poster was so poorly fed at in laws they basically took a weeks food shop with them and secreted it in the bedroom!

I must admit I love the "I'm 90 and just learned X" threads where certain things always come up (Gibraltar isn't an island, pineapples grow out the ground etc) I always learn something - though don't always admit it.

The 'how often do you change your pyjamas ' thread. The response had me weak with laughter

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 27/01/2019 01:41

I like MNHQ’s occasional mantra of TSSDNCOP - there is also a poster of that name. Not really an MN thing because it first came from The West Wing but I still think of it as an MN phrase!

Snapped snd farted?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 27/01/2019 02:01

The whole Balonz thread.

Cunt for the butter
Snapped and farted

There was a really funny thread about some woman in B&Q who slighted someone and someone on here quipped, oh did you ask her if she needed decking

Timeless

halfwitpicker · 27/01/2019 02:18

That expectation vs reality thread is gold too

BellMcEnd · 27/01/2019 02:31

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.

The thread about screaming in the Sistine Chapel was ace.

Njordsgrrrl · 27/01/2019 02:32

Another vote for I AM CANADIAN! It was in AIBU and started off about stairgates iirc. And someone bumped it to wish the poster a happy Canada Day Grin

The DH who used a hairdryer to dry himself after a shower.

Njordsgrrrl · 27/01/2019 02:40

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

The comments were fantastic. "AIBU to think this mother should be shot?" And people saying Tiny Wankers sounded like a toddler group. "Musical Wee Shites with Leanne at 10" etc

Ok, that is fucking hilarious!!

I’m dying for someone to explain snapped and farted!

Penis Beaker is where it all went wrong...

LostInTheColonies · 27/01/2019 03:43

Cubes of poo - where the contents of a nappy were extruded through the wires of a shopping trolley, somehow ended up on the conveyor belt of a French supermarket & and were subsequently eaten by someone mistaking them for pâté.

Njordsgrrrl · 27/01/2019 04:03

Agreed r.e Penis Beaker. I remember when AIBU were all fields and it'd be "is that you UCM?" used to prove creds. Fuck, I'm ancient.

brizzledrizzle · 27/01/2019 04:24

It's not a good look to get gender fluid on your trousers, tbh. Best avoided.

Best comment ever, though I have now adopted may her next poo be a hedgehog as I know the ideal person to use it about.

FiveShelties · 27/01/2019 04:37

Thank you so much for this thread and the link to the 'reality ' thread. So funny😂

Scandaloso · 27/01/2019 04:48

Yeah, that happened.

GreenDragon75 · 27/01/2019 04:58

Can I just add I have just been to he Sistine Chapel and all I could think about was snapped and farted and the screaming. Couldn’t explain it to dh either as think you need to rtt it to understand.
Not entirely convinced it happened now though. It was packed in there and full of security so think a screaming banshee would have been immediately evicted. Still funny though. Shame as hilarious thread.

VetOnCall · 27/01/2019 05:49

Slapdasherie

That thread with Suzi Quatro’s fat nan is my favourite on here.

There was also someone who had a pixie cut and dyed her hair red and ended up looking like a fat match.

That is my all-time favourite thread too and that's exactly the post I thought of when I first saw it mentioned on Page 1 of this thread! I think it was by TossDaily. I've read the thread 3 or 4 times now and it cracks me up every time Grin

namechangechanger · 27/01/2019 06:33

The screaming in the Sistine chapel I think is the only thread I've ever cried laughing at. Laughed at it for days as well.

TeddyIsaHe · 27/01/2019 06:38

I say this on every thread, but someone had problems with their phone and the subsequent spelling mistakes had me laughing for days. Every time I thought of ‘mustard scream’ instead of custard cream I had a laughing fit. Good times!

sashh · 27/01/2019 07:00

Does anyone remember the shop owner who had employed a public school boy and waxed lyrical about his blond hair, his manner, his confidence.

Then got upset at people taking the piss and demanded the thread be deleted. it went a bit like this

OP: Ihave employed X, he is g#fantastic in every way and I wouldn't get that from a state school kid

MN: PMSL

OP: I demand this is taken down

MN: report it to MNHQ

OP: I DEMAND this is removed NOW

MN: report it to MNHQ

OP: My name is Mrs x of Y street and I want this to be removed

MN: report it to MNHQ

It went on for most of the evening with her giving more and more details and not reporting the thread.
