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?

babypossum previously banned poster so it was deleted. A troll I guess.

Ah, thank you. I wondered where it had gone.

Oh I remember willy willy willy! Again it was more the mental imagery!

Also, what about Dean’s little shirt and the Dawn doctor? Turned out the poor OP was on strong medication and was a little confused as a result. IIRC she came back on the next day mortified and apologising 😂

I do wonder what goes on in the head of a PBP. They've obviously been banned for a reason. Yet they come on here with an entirely plausible long convoluted story about someone moving a rock to their porch every night. WHY?

It's pretty obvious at some point you're going to get spotted as a PBP, but you go to all that trouble to write all those posts drawing people in with sympathy. Truly weird. If I was banned I'd just go off and find another forum to be banned from!

@PlasmaRain
Wish I'd seen the goady editor's brief that Debbie posted. What was it about?

What about the woman who wanted to take her new partner AND his kids to her brother’s family lunch and was told ‘We really want just close family, but we’d love to meet them next time’ by his partner? She then phoned her brother separately to ask again. He said the same thing. She then phoned her mother to ask her. She also said the same. She turned up at the brother’s anyway, new bloke and his daughters in tow, later that afternoon - and walked in just as the brother and fiancée are announcing their engagement. The fiancée ran out crying. OP came on here completely clueless as to what she’d done wrong

Granted, the fiancée went OTT by running out crying, but it’s pretty clear she’d spent months dealing with ‘Bound? What are they?’ woman and had flipped. Most posters rightly told OP she was batshit, but it was surprising how many others agreed with her that ‘the lunch would have been over by then; it was fine to pop in’. ‘Another time’ doesn’t mean ‘another point in time that same afternoon’!

Boundaries, not bound. Dumb phone

I like the ones where a clueless loon insists on bringing toddlers and dopey husbands onto all women hen weekends or university meet ups...

It's the mundaneness of some of the trolling posts that amazes me.

I can almost get my head round someone trolling with a fictional but highly charged scenario. I can that if someone is manipulative they might get some sort of thrill from pretending to have a crisis pregnancy, or be in an abusive relationship, or a car crash.

But made up crap about parking disputes, or a stranger in a supermarket refusing to move out of the way are completely baffling.

And the posters that accuse other posters of lying because they just don’t believe they have exotic jobs like being a doctor or a solicitor. If I were sad enough to lie online I certainly wouldn’t say I was a dull old solicitor I would upgrade to a spy or supermodel or something

There was particularly bonkers one I remember from a few years ago.

A woman had a new born, she was in the supermarket and the baby was crying, the op asked this stranger if she could hold the baby as the woman shopped, the woman declined, then a couple of minutes later the woman's mother came up, held the baby as the woman shopped.

The poster was concerned because the woman didn't immediately carry her baby when the crying started.

One particularly weird poster was whipping herself and op and a few others into a real frenzy and suggestions such as calling social services were thrown about.

In the end they had all decided op should go to the supermarket, get them to check the CCTV, get the number plate, go to the police to get the information from the number plate then call social services with the name and address because the woman clearly had PND and was struggling.

I was throughout, and was jumped on for suggesting that she possibly just wanted to quickly do a shop and wasn't keen on a complete stranger carrying her baby for her when her own mother was a couple of aisles away.

Absolutely bonkers.

I'm so disappointed I've missed some of these, is the Christian/ dinosaur one still available??🙏🏻

Having now read through the memoirs, The Jewish Fridge has to be my #1.

Just remembered poo-ella, the wrong sangria and anger at seaweed on the beaach

Have been trying to find some of these in classics but classics seems not to have a search facility. Thanks for links everyone. Have really laughed at the Sistine Chapel. Made better as her head will have been thrown back looking at ceiling whilst screaming - hilarious.

I've just lost the game

The woman who could not understand everybody's horror that she had called her baby girl Slithery.

Don't get that one, pessimistic? Why were you right to suggest that the OP didn't want a stranger to hold her baby when it was the OP who actually asked the stranger to do so and seemed to be complaining about the stranger's refusal?

No the OP was the one who asked to hold another woman’s baby. Presumably the woman was struggling with shopping. The other woman refused to hand the baby over (as her mum was also in the shop but not immediately visible).

Can anyone link to Slithery?

Acis it's as Karwomannghia said.

The op was the one who offered to hold the crying baby, the woman refused and the op pretty much followed the woman around the shop, discussed it with staff members, then joined in with the others on the thread suggesting the mother of the baby obviously had PND and needed to be reported to SS. It was one of the most bizarre threads I've ever seen on here.

I wouldn't be letting some random stranger hold my baby either.

@Acis, think you've got your wires crossed. I believe the OP of that thread had noticed a mother in the supermarket whose newborn was crying and offered to hold the baby while the mother shopped. Mother declined. Then, the mother's own mother (i.e. grandmother of the newborn) appeared from round corner and held the baby while her daughter (mother of newborn) shopped. People thought that because the mother hadn't immediately picked her baby up when it was crying, and because she had declined total stranger OP's offer of help, that she was ill and not coping with her child.

Does anyone remember the OP who was considering being a social media star but didn’t want to show her face?

She was asking if people would follow a you tuber with a ‘blurred out face’

I still chuckle at that.

When William & Kate had George, that photographer who does fake royal pics brought out a set that supposedly showed the new family in their home. The Queen was there helping Kate to make up bottles and supervising a nappy change etc.

One MNer went on to AIBU to complain that Kate had every right not to breastfeed if she chose, but showing that she was FFing was irresponsible as she should be setting a good example.

Much hilarity that she’d thought the pics were real - then she showed up again a few pages later with a very stilted message saying something like...”Well, I see now that the pictures are not real so I shall ask for the thread to be deleted” and never came back again.

Was not a namechanger but a MNer who posts a lot I don’t think it was a joke.

Was really funny.

Anyone else remember Hairzilla? Was there only 'zilla' thread I've actually stuck with, it went on for threads and was batshit.

Fatballs is by far the funniest. It's the only thread I've read that has actually made me properly laugh. I don't get the hilarity over penis beaker either!
