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?

I think that was SoftZilla.

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!
This.
Hilarious, I am glad someone else remembered it, it was a post about travel. To funny.

There was a celebrity gossip thread that lasted for multiple threads despite the fact that it was so cryptic no one had a clue about what or who was being discussed!

Balonz!! Just laughed out loud at the thought of it!

Am confused, wasn't the Sistine Screamer the same thread as Snapped and Farted?

No different thread!

My Mum had a friend who was convinced that eating salad with a pork pie made it a healthy meal. (She was, and remained, rather large)

Snapped and farted thread here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3277729-Embarrassed-by-boyfriend

@IggyAce was that the same one were the Spanish Grandma came over to sort it out? who made Sangria from scratch.

It had about 10 threads in the end an suddenly vanished or maybe I deleted it because it got boring

Not a thread but a poster that just would not have it that not all babies sleep through at one year old, was calling it abnormal if they didn't & saying it was the parents' fault. Even after several posters put links to renowned clinical studies.

There are a lot of competitive undereating threads, competitive overeating threads, competitive cleanliness threads and competitive slovenliness threads, all of which are bonkers.

I remember one that ended up in a #marrytim
onslaught .
The OP troll had a very imaginative story about her DH running off and having children with special needs

There was one poster who had a listed building and tiny budget and wanted to extend up to her neighbours wall - essentially making them semi detached. She was a lawyer and still wouldn’t admit she had no chance. Think the neighbour was threatening to sue. Utterly clueless.

The recent car accident one too.

Thanks Butchyrestingface I had totally conflated the two threads, but only from hearsay really as I hadn't read either, just seen both of them referred to time and time again.

t-rex in asda is prob my favourite but i do love sistine chapel

softzilla one i think its going through legal channels op said

I've just been looking for the original Balonz thread, which is in Baby Names - but for some reason it can't be displayed right now. Worrying, as it's comic gold and deserves a place in Classics far more than some of the threads that have made it there.

Is Balonz really an actual name? It sounds like a great name for dog food

Aha now it's working! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/2197937-Help-Difficult-choice-of-boys-names-Sean-Daniel-or-Balonz?msgid=71801814

I remember the one where the op had total strangers arrive at her door with suit cases saying that they had come to stay and they wouldnt budge , She said her DH was an policeman or something and would sort them out when he got home,,I dont know how it ended tho.

The one were the OP said her dh ad walked into the room and startled her,,so she screamed,,She thought it was a big deal,,

Ivana I remember the box of frogs poster - it was amillionyears who was a somewhat dogmatic poster anyway, but completely outdid herself in this instance. I'm pretty sure she was having a really good chuckle about the uproar.

The one where the woman was saying how expensive school holidays were, all the horse riding camps and expensive activities etc.

Then another poster came on: they don't have to be expensive, we just all walk around the place and i give my daughter a loan of my horse if she wants to go riding. (Free)

Christ I’ve just read the Balonz thread ... surely that was a wind up? Especially where the OP comes back 3 years later saying her son was one of three Balonzes in the nursery group?? 😂

@Smegs yes! Amillionyears! I wonder where she went. 😂

Another of my favourite ones was Pirate Sex. This poster's DH was getting turned on by talking like a pirate whilst having sex. There was a lot of..
Oooh arrr me hearties
Shiver me timbers etc
Poster was asking if this was normal

Then there was the pouch of Douglas but that was about 110 or 12 years ago and I know I found it funny but can't remember why!

There’s one like the T. rex one where it just makes no sense at all it’s incredible
