To ask the most bonkers mumsnet post you've ever witnessed?

[agonyauntie]

After the deletion of various threads on here (you know what I'm talking about)

Just wondered what is the most bonkers mumsnet thread you've ever witnessed or came across?

There was a great one not long after I joined MN, so maybe 4/5 years ago, where someone was complaining that her young son was stealing and eating vast quantities of cheese from the fridge and lying about it. Apparently his cheeks would be bulging with cheese with little bits flying out of his mouth as he fervently denied ever having seen any cheese let alone eaten it.

The bit that really cracked me up was that she wasn’t posting to ask why a small boy would be taking food in great quantities or why he would lie about it or even what sort of punishment would be appropriate for cheese theft. No, she was asking MN should she put a lock on the fridge. I laughed so hard and so long I can’t remember what advice she was given.

HelpaFattie I think that was one where OP had thrush and was recommended to pop out and get a pessary but it was autocorrected to a peasant

An old one that got me was an OP who had created a yoonique name for DC and her mum hated it. It was Freya or Yvonne or something and turned in to the OP being upset when being repeatedly told she didn’t create it.

The Peasant Pessary 😂

Not read the full thread but the one where someone made quite an obvious typo and it turned into a thread about this typo with people very confused and googling it and all sorts.
If anyone can link me to it I'll love you forever !

I can't find it but it was something like 'de noidhyk' and then the post cut off. I think the OPs child had taken the phone and she didn't realise it had posted until much later. It was very funny.

The Sharon/wasp/wine/wall one (I think it had mention of fruit & veg and Erasure too)
The T-rexing in the supermarket one (pretty sure that was the same poster as 'Sharon')

The one with the poster who'd taken in a parcel for a neighbour but wouldn't give it to them. She had another thread about running to a bus stop to stop another woman getting a seat.

The screamer was fab. And 'YOUR MINGE!!!!'

Oh @SpiderP that was hilarious! 😂😂😂

The replies on the Brian from Hull thread were very funny. Loved all the name changes in homage. There was a thread where someone wanted to charge everyone in the family she had just married into £50 for Christmas lunch. I enjoyed that one too.

Penis beaker wasn't good for the site, about ten years ago it was much better.

Yes!! I can't remember what the typo was to search it though

Your minge! Lemon drizzle, Mexican house thief.

Penis beaker was fecking terrible

And elderly Korean lady ❤️

I haven't seen the one about single use ikea loo brushes but there was one about putting the loo brush in the dishwasher not long ago. 🤯🤮

PaddingtonMare, was it Farrah? And she got really cross at anyone mentioning Farrah Fawcett?

Mine is quite personal to me..it was a post in general health about eye pain and subsequent posters had suggested more and more random eye conditions which it could point to. None of which were even vaguely likely given the OP’s symptoms. It just highlighted how potentially dangerous asking for advice on an Internet forum can be.

The riddle one that had no answer and then the op found the answer but then wouldn't say. Can't remember the wording exactly or even vaguely.

I still NEED to know what the fucking answer is. The suggestions were hilarious though.

@winewolfhowls That riddle made me want to tweezer my own skin off. I'm still hurting over that.

I googling these now ‘mumsnet balonz’ ‘mumsnet Sistine chapel’ and laughing out loud to myself 😂

Great post! I don't have a bonkers one to share that is different from the ones already posted, so I'll add one of the sweetest/funniest ones. It was Auntie TantrumsandBalloons. She was babysitting a friend's small child and the wee one was an adorable handful. It was up there with the EKL for really lovely sweet threads!

The wedding one where the Op was given save the date, then not invited, then asked to decorate the venue was by TidyDancer who is also a fab OP. Her threads are always super fun.

there was one a while back where the poster has returned to her house that was on the market but had been empty and there was a huge turd in the toilet. She was wondering where it had come from. I tried to find it since then but no luck.

@lancelottie - yes! She really wasn’t having any of it was she?
