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:

I like threads that get so silly they descend into lyrics, like Yoni.

There was a woman who was annoyed that other people were using computers in the library for Facebook because she wanted to print off a job application form. She got very full of herself saying how ambitious and successful she was as a professional dancer, and being well off, despite not owning a basic printer. Cue one genius poster suggesting she becomes a “private dancer, a dancer for money, and any old printer will do”. I will never listen to that song without picturing a stroppy woman queuing in a library.

I think the hamwidge poster also did a thread about a neighbour spreading rumours about her and posted one lines saying “background info: she just walked passed my door”.

Another one was OP was on a pub crawl with friends A, B, C etc. Friend A suddenly announced Friend B had died somewhere enroute between pubs. Friend C becomes distraught. Then Friend B catches them all up very much alive, was just walking 5 minutes behind the rest of them. Friend A says she’s obviously been drugged. Op refused to think announcing a friends death on a night out when they are very much alive and up the road was in any way unusual or needed any further discussion. But it really did!

Oh I remember the over friendly caravan neighbours, they were constantly waving ate the Op while she was doing the washing up.

I enjoy the virtue signallers. Thread where horrid entitled parent turned up at op house to shout at her about a voluntary activity her dh ran. Normal posters sympathise then the loons berating op for not being more sympathetic, they would have invited the ranter in and cooked her dinner etc.

Similar one where a child had been shouted at for no reason in a loo and op berated for not being sympathetic as the shouter May be having a bad day etc and how they would have provided an impromptu counselling session or taken her out for dinner. Yeah right!

Fashionistas in a taxi queue

This was hilarious. Op thought that she could skip the taxi queue because she had kids Grin

ItsalmostSummer · 28/04/2019 02:44

There was one about a party at an indoor soft centre and I think someone (a mum) dropped off both her kids (the sibling not invited) and the mum didn’t return for the kids or something. That’s vague for me. I can’t remember if the party mum left the kids there or took the kids home. Lots of posters all bickered saying leave the kids there, take them home and saying id have done this or that etc. The party mum was like what the heck. I think the mum strolled up later that night. Idk that was ages ago. Could be just my bad memory too Grin

You're my hero! How did you find it?!

I love the fact that for so many pages, everyone all just plays along, then the confused posters appear Grin

Entertaining guests in the driveway is up there 😂😂😂

GreenDragon75 · 28/04/2019 05:36

I was just coming on to say making guest sit on the drive with blankets and then calling them socially awkward.

moomoomummy · 28/04/2019 06:40

For me the stand out mental threads are the ones where people say they wash their sheets and towel EVERY DAY

What was in the safe?

The was an hilarious poster talking about her cat who was protesting something by doing, "big angry shits". It wasn't a long thread but the OP could have made a living writing she did it so well.

I'm now making evil plans for if I win the lottery.

I'm going to buy an old cottage with a cellar.

In the cellar will be an old safe but no way to open it, inside will be a single envelope, it will be addressed to 'Brian from Hull' and inside will be a single piece of paper that say's, "cancel the check".

I will also create a secret room with subtle but as yet not thought out clues.

I have not decided what will be in the secret room.

This place will then be sold at a reasonable price and I will wait to hear about the discoveries.

All the neighbours ones are the funniest, makes mine seems like saints. Even if they are fictional🤣 Always over exaggerated to high heavens

TokyoSushi · 28/04/2019 07:04

Also just came on to say about the friends on the drive thread!! Grin

PumpkinLatteMyArse · 28/04/2019 07:18

I thought Gabby was some sort of chatbot?

FiveShelties · 28/04/2019 07:24

Also just came on to say about the friends on the drive thread!!

Me too, I love that thread - just the pictures it brings to mind - excellent thread.

Groovee · 28/04/2019 07:30

The one where the OP asked for opinions on peaks. Then 3 years later didn't realise she had posted it and replied with that she had bought one and gave her opinion on it.

Auntie Tantrum looking after her friend's toddler... toddler ate the dogs food, disappeared and was found very muddy and required a bath after being in a bush. Woke Auntie Tantrum up very very early. It went on all weekend 😂

Praise postcard from school being an invasion through the letterbox takes some beating.

Why has no one mentioned penguin bollards?

We had a festival of celebration and everything.

AlphaJura · 28/04/2019 08:51

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not but there was one a few months back where the OP kept being lumbered with her DH's sister I think it was, or the DW of his mate, she never had any money but would get drunk and start fights and be a complete pain in the arse but she kept going out with her. They ended up in a bar in London where they put money in a kitty for drinks but the OP apparently wasn't drinking alcohol and then the 'mate' drank all the kitty money in G and T's, was chatting up blokes and then took the OP's credit card to buy tampons, some people thought they were doing coke in the toilets. Some people didn't think it was real. That was pretty bonkers.

Bluesheep8 · 28/04/2019 08:55

The Sistene screamer! I still smile about that now. It's got to be the best ever.

ooooohbetty · 28/04/2019 09:00

Thank you for the penis beaker thread @longtimelurkerhelen now I know. It was indeed very funny and odd. I can't imagine a man sitting up after sex and dangling his penis into said beaker. I wonder if mumsnet missed a trick by not selling mugs tea towels, t shirts with the names of popular threads on them. I'd love a mug with Balonz on it. I wouldn't I'm only joking.

ooooohbetty · 28/04/2019 09:09

There was a thread posted not long ago by a male who seemed to think some sort of dating site. I think he was foreign. His post was funny the replies were really good and took the piss out of him for ages.

Alpha - weren't they going to a tiara making class the day after ??!!
