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:
Sparklingbrook · 27/04/2019 14:34

The fake baby One Directioners were terrifying as well as bonkers.

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 14:34

One time a poster flipped out on a thread where she asked what to do about ripened mangos.

It was mental 😂

Another one was about cannibalism which was horrendous and really bizarre.

And of course the couple from Pom Bear, anyone?! 😂😂

Slazengerbag · 27/04/2019 14:35

The thread about dolphins raping humans and how all dolphins were evil. The poster was deadly serious which just made me giggle more.

The one whose ex fed their kids roasted badger in the Natural History Museum

I had just joined MN when I read the Sistine Screamer thread. I remember thinking “Damn, I love MN!” Grin

3luckystars · 27/04/2019 14:36

Poster: I am overeating and am too heavy.

Reply 'just think about the starving children reading this thread and that will stop your binge eating habits'

Or:
' I inherited a house but there is a lodger that won't get out'
Reply ' give them the house to keep, you probably dont even need the house'

IvanaPee · 27/04/2019 14:36

Does anyone remember the poster who complained about racism against the French because someone said “mad as a box of frogs”? 😂😂😂

checkingforballoons · 27/04/2019 14:37

I’d forgotten about the roasted badger!

ByeByeBirdi · 27/04/2019 14:37

@HollowTalk I think that was my thread (many NC ago!) It was about my SIL's SM stealing my DN birthday balloons!

Skettles · 27/04/2019 14:37

Anyone remember years ago a woman posted saying that her husband wasn’t allowed to say certain words otherwise she loses her shit and breaks things? I think she referred to them as “trigger words” and they were really daft ones like “Jamie Oliver” and “horse riding” or something! I think she ended up punching him because he bought her a Jamie Oliver book.

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 27/04/2019 14:37

A poster who was really unhappy that baby products were on the same aisle in a supermarket with stuff like dog food and detergent. Thought it was a safety issue. Fuck knows what she would have thought about what happened in delivery lorries and warehouses.

Minkies11 · 27/04/2019 14:38

The recent deleted thread where the OP was ejected from A&E for drinking while high on heroin and wanted the security people to lose their jobs. Sad and scary at the same time.

BlueThesaurusRex · 27/04/2019 14:38

The one about a church choir and A, B and C. It descended into talk of bats 🦇 f I remember correctly!

Lucked · 27/04/2019 14:39

Sistine chapel was great. The thread this week to name the tune from the do do doos was amazing, I thought the OP was bonkers posting that but she went all in and it was great

The user who answered her own thread years later not realising that she had posted the original question - that was funny too. , she still had the same username!

lolaflores · 27/04/2019 14:39

The woman who witnessed a mum in swimming pool changing rooms playing the pan pipes to calm the baby while at the same time doing a little dance..she maybhave been in a state of undress to boot.
I had to out it away cos DH kept saying what r u snorting for and it was just too complex to explain...

namechangedbutneedadvice · 27/04/2019 14:39

Does anyone remember one from a few years back which was a "which baby name should I choose". One was an entirely common name and the other was something hysterical like Blange or Broil I wish I could remember Grin but it was a boy's name and sure it began with B. Anyone?! I still think about that and chortle to myself...

CassandraCross · 27/04/2019 14:40

How can you flip out on a thread about ripened mangoes?

There was another poster who was quite prolific a while ago, she was pregnant and clearly going to give birth to the next Messiah, something about baby showers and fajita Fridays as I recall.

They were indeed Sparklingbrook, I was surprised MN let those threads run as long as they did.

Splodgetastic · 27/04/2019 14:40

It wasn’t exactly bonkers, but the funniest one was the woman whose husband had eaten a fat ball meant for the birds!

Skettles · 27/04/2019 14:40

And obviously Sharon, the dead wasp, Rainbow videos and Erasure ... all in the same thread. Absolutely batshit but strangely addictive trying to work out what she was on about!

MrsSpenserGregson · 27/04/2019 14:41

@namechangedbutneedadvice yes it was Balonz Grin

W0rriedMum · 27/04/2019 14:42

My favourite too. The OP was so agreeable in ways I'd never allow and yet the Mumsnet jury said she should let the kids sleep for the weekend in a tent in the forest. Obviously their own children were tucked up in a warm bed after milk and (non-sugary) biscuits Hmm

acalmerfuture · 27/04/2019 14:42

There was one years ago from a women, pregnant with her second child, was absolutely furious with her sister in law (who was suffering from infertility) for not being really excited at her second pregnancy and for not asking sufficient questions about it, and for looking sad at her first child's birthday party. She kept getting her husband to talk to SiL's husband and extracting apologies. Everyone piled on to tell her it was because of SiL's pain in being infertile but OP was having none of it. She was utterly unself aware and deeply self-obsessed.

Skettles · 27/04/2019 14:42

@namechangedbutneedadvice

Was it Borg? I remember something like that!

TheBulb · 27/04/2019 14:42

I think the current one in which multiple posters say they would not allow their sixteen year old daughter to walk unaccompanied through a bluebell wood in broad daylight is pretty batshit.

SquishySquirmy · 27/04/2019 14:42

There was one incomprehensible one where the op had run over a child's foot outside the school, but the headmaster was somehow to blame, and she hates all the other school mums whose husband's were ALL sleeping with their secretaries...
Or something. The replies were hilarious though!
