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.

The poster who insisted that letting any child over the age of 2 ride in a pushchair was “shameful”, and that her own 2 year old walked the 5 mile round trip to nursery, even though they had to set off at stupid-o’clock in the morning to get there on time.

I also remember ”weetabix are shit in a box”

I do remember some of the really funny and exceptionally kind or wise ones too, but sadly it’s the ones where someone’s posted something that’s clearly bollocks or pure cuntiness just to make another poster feel bad that really stick in my mind.

“But this poster wasn't talking about drinking too much of it. She insisted that if you were thirsty and poured a glass of water and drank it, that it was dangerous”.

And the posters’ examples of why water was bad were all of physiological extremes where a hormone (ADH) was inappropriately produced meaning the person didn’t pee properly and there was swelling on the brain. She talked about the sick elderly, neonates, people with brain injuries etc.

But they were unwell not because of changes in body salts and hormone levels - it was because their cells had exploded. And this could potentially happen to anyone who drank water; we were only saved by the magical bypass tube between stomach and kidney. It also meant that the urine excreted was actually water as well.

There was a thread where someone complained about her tenants not paying rent. A poster was very insistent that as the OP is clearly rich and has a buy-to-let, she should simply give it to the tenants.

I remember that "can't live in London on a paltry six figure salary" thread! The OP was citing the cost of tithing and flowers as essential expenses 😁

Sure, I'm not defending the water poster. Just pointing out that there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere that people often aren't aware of.

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!

Put bleach in the cistern means never having to use a loo brush. 🤣🤣

Just to let you know that you should not put bleach in the cistern if you have a push button flush. It rots the kind of fittings that are used.

I actually don’t recall what the thread was about (guessing something about food or food preferences) but there was part of the thread where posters were talking about needing sauce to eat a plateful of food or else it was dry. One poster was really (oddly as some food thread posters tend to be) scathing about having a sauce, as she ‘just used her saliva’.

Not too sure why it’s stuck in my head so much, it’s just I won’t really have saliva down as the same thing as sauce. (In quantity or tastiness.)

I am always amazed at those comments that say if you are not eating in a Michelin star restaurant, then you should expect badly behaved kids. Because anywhere cheaper is family friendly and fine for kids to do what they want.

To someone concerned that sleep training would "damage" their baby: "You are misinformed. Read some Bowlby and then go and get a proper night's sleep"

Most outrageous: "If you think it's acceptable for a child to wear non uniform shoes for half a term then frankly, I'd be concerned about what other attitudes you might be passing on that would damage his education"

And (directed to me) :"I wish I could put people like you on one side of the earth and those of us who care about the environment on the other"
For expressing the opinion that plastic is a reasonable material to manufacture toys out of.

Oh marymarkle, is that the same for those cistern tablets?

"Your minge" When the sleep deprived, hassled poster forgot to put her bikini bottoms on at the swimming pool. It was what her husband mouthed at her from the other end of the pool when he came out. I think at this point she was standing up blowing up an inflatable.

Yes red according to a plumber friend. I used to use cistern tablets and my friend told me not to for that reason.

@Daredevil223 I am laughing so hard at that thread you shared I think I’m going to throw up. Reading them aloud to DH because I can’t stop laughing. Am only on page 2! Thank you so much!

Does anyone remember many many years ago about googling dragon butter? That thread taught me that if someone says don’t google then don’t fucking google I still google
I lol at everyone going ‘aargh I shouldn’t have googled, need brain bleach’ fools

So many funny examples, but for me the most powerful comment I first read on here has to be 'I believe you'.

'Your minge' just made me laugh so much it brought on a coughing fit.

I think the “your minge!” poster casually removed her bikini bottoms at the side of the pool, like you’d step out of your knickers before getting in the bath. I could be misremembering though.

Lots of responsible people never use bleach (hello SparklingBrook ) so dangerous loo brush we have to learn to live with. Luckily I've made it to my mid fifties without suffering any kind of loo brush related infection. My carpets haven't made me ill either, even though I'd never ask a guest to remove their shoes.

A lot of the extreme cleaning comments have mafe me raise my eyebrows. The people who do 28 loadd of washing and tumble drying every week etc.

Sootikins! You will definitely need the brain bleach for that one.

I loved snapped and farted, and screaming at the Michaelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. The latter could well have been a troll, not sure, but it was hilarious so I'm glad it was left up.

Penis beaker went viral didn't it, and caused the site to keep hanging and crashing.

Oh and I do love the threads about farting or any other bodily function. Or what to call a fart if you don't want to hear the word from a child. Anyone for fairy puffs? Unicorn puffs too? People get tied up in such knots over it.

As for the anti toilet brush brigade, I like posting on those threads about how much I love my two toilet brushes.

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!

@ethelfleda, that the snapped and catered thread. I don't know how to post a link though sorry.

Snapped and farted! Sorry if it doesn't work
