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

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

OP posts:

Not read full thread. But Brian (think that’s his name) the Yoni masseuse from Hull has to be top 10 oh and penis beaker

Does anyone remember there was a couple of threads by this intense lady who wrote in a Mills and Boom style about how she had rejected her DH for 10 years, told him she didn't love him blah blah.. then he had finally got the hint and moved on.. and she was furious! She seemed to know all he and his girlfriend's business. Everyone was telling her to get over him, and she wasn't having any of it.

Ivana, she was but she was hilarious!
She wrote in harsh haikus!

Skettles · 27/04/2019 23:31

Anyone remember Leonie? The girl who pretended to be a millionaire with helicopter pads and meadows of horses?

HarrietSchulenberg · 27/04/2019 23:32

A good one was a comment by a poster called Zebra, from about half a generation ago. She insisted she put her children to bed wearing their school uniforms so they'd be ready to get up and go in the morning. There was a debate about day v night clothes, IIRC, and I never worked out if she was serious or not but it was a great thread.

The most bonkers one by a mile was when She Who Must Not Be Named unravelled on here one Saturday afternoon and had some kind of apoplectic emotional breakdown. I was watching it unfold while at work and broke the speed limit drove quite quickly to get home and carry on reading it, by which time it had disappeared.

I think my absolute favourite, though, has been the Elderly Korean Lady as it was so lovely.

She did! 😂

Who was the poster who was obsessed with her brother’s friend? He’d cheated on his gf with the poster and she went through a spate of threads pretending to be the gf etc, all the while trying to get posters to say he belonged with her and not his gf?

It wasn’t funny just utterly batshit!

RocketSurgery · 27/04/2019 23:35

Several name changes ago you lot convinced me to pay several hundred pounds to get my locked safe broken into. I look back on it and wonder why the fuck I listened to you bunch of mentalists.

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:36

Ah She Who Must Not Be Named.

That’s a perfect example of how MN has changed. She has gone into the annals of trolling history yet she’s probably mild by today’s standards.

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:36

Omg Rocket!!! I can’t believe it’s you! What was in it??

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:37

Who was the poster with the husband’s secret shed?

Or remember the one who found the mystery bag in her attic?

Or the one who thought someone was living in the attic/walls of her house?

HelpAFattieOutHere · 27/04/2019 23:37

Someone please remember the typo, no amount of searching is yielding anything!

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:40

It was nyhoic or something wasn’t it??

justarandomtricycle · 27/04/2019 23:42

There was one with a phantom shitter
Workzilla

The holidays thread where the OP posted asking for restaurant recommendations at their resort and innocently mentioned her and her DH were flying 1st class whilst their teenage children were flying cattle class (on same plane). The frenzied pile on was immense with beserker posters accusing her of not loving her own children, being totally neglectful and incredibly entitled by expecting 'other adults' (cabin crew) to take care of her (teenage) offspring.

Hilarious because many a parent who has suffered teenagers for long enough, would see this as an all round win.

Does anyone remember the original Wendy thread? Being Wendied seems to have fallen out of mumsnet usage now, sadly.

Charley50 · 27/04/2019 23:49

IvanaPee - was it a wank shed?

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:49

That’s cause people were being so weird about its use!

Charley50 · 27/04/2019 23:49

I just wanted to write wankshed. Grin

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:50

As in being mortally offended because they had a sister/friend/daughter called Wendy and she was lovely. As if that had anything to do with it Hmm

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 23:51

IvanaPee - was it a wank shed? 😂😂😂

I can’t actually remember! So...yes. Yes it was. Grin

HelpAFattieOutHere · 27/04/2019 23:55

It was nyhoic or something wasn’t it??

Something along those lines!

madcatsforever · 27/04/2019 23:56

My favourite all time thread was the oxo tower - so many hilarious responses I swear I nearly died laughing!

I’ve been very invested in a few safe opening threads which have ended up in thousands of posts and continuation threads ending with nothing interesting inside 😂

The fly seat thread must be the most batshit crazy - so much anger from the OP 😂

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 28/04/2019 00:06

The many and various threads where posters have human tradesmen working at their houses - which have a dedicated, purpose-built facility for the hygienic disposal of the two standard varieties of natural human waste.

The tradesmen ask to use said facility and, this being granted, use it for the hygienic dispatch of the traditionally smellier of the two varieties of natural human waste, which is common to every single human.

The poster then reacts as if they've committed an unspeakably abhorrent, wantonly aggressive act of unfettered, provocatively vindictive, pure evil.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 28/04/2019 00:15

My recall of it is somewhat sketchy, but there was one at a caravan park where the people in the next caravan to the OP's family interpreted a friendly 'Good afternoon, lovely weather for it' as a clear declaration that they were now BFF and thus wanted to live in each other's pockets for the whole holiday.

The stalky family got so bad that OP's family had to do a moonlight flit to a different caravan park managed by the same owners to escape them - and they were doggedly determined to find where they'd gone and were also desperate to get their home address.

I think they were hoping that they might be able to help OP's family to solve whatever problem might have arisen whilst totally oblivious to the fact that THEY were 100% the problem.

I can't remember how that one ended, but the creepy neighbours were utterly terrifying.

RosemaryHoight · 28/04/2019 00:16

Oh lots of fun threads. I think penis beaker was a shame thanks to the lazy staff of the daily mail.
