To want to know the outcome of some threads

I've read alot of threads, some funny and alot very sad.
I love it when a thread has an update, especially if it's a positive update; however there are lots of threads that don't have an ending and I'd love to know what the outcome was.
One of mine is the softzilla, I do wonder what's happened with that up to now?
Anyone else need updates?!!! Grin

There are so many for me! The ironing board, the whistling, the stones outside the door, bloody Boswell HmmGrin

I started to read one the other day from someone who had just discovered that her husband had had a one night stand with a new colleague who was now pregnant. I don't k ow why but I got a bit over invested in it emotionally. I felt so sorry for her. It seems to have disappeared now but I would love to know the update. Also the woman who claimed to be a prisoner in Thailand ( poss not true) but was interesting.

MadamWaffle · 25/07/2019 22:53

@SleepingIsOverrated I'm pretty sure the stones one was a troll.

regularbutpanickingabit · 25/07/2019 22:54

Yes! There was a spare of holiday and/or money ones a few months back and none of them were resolved... borrowing money and not paying it back or going on holiday and acting like a totally different (read hideous) person. Would love to know what happened next on all those threads!

Then there are very very old ones like the lady on jersey (or guernsey or maybe even somewhere else that was an island whose husband was awful, they had young kids and she was trying desperately to get things together without him.

Or the one whose kids had the most amazingly grand names (loved them all) but all seemed to be incredibly demanding or difficult. The husband was equally difficult and do stupid things able cars and houses and general stuff that seemed chaotic. She was the calm in the eye of the storm but I often wonder if life has got any easier.

Oh, and the woman whose husband was the musics teacher and she was convinced he was having an affair or something with the mother of his pupil.

regularbutpanickingabit · 25/07/2019 22:55

Oh crap. Should have proofread. Sorry’

ChickenTikkaTellMeWhatsWrong · 25/07/2019 22:55

@SleepingIsOverrated I'll have to read these!

@tensmum1964 I read that one too, I really felt for her too, and hope she's okay.

The one with the woman who had sold her house to someone from outside the village and then had a range of things happen - Christmas decs tied to a tree, prowlers, cars pulling up at night. I was scared shitless.
I think she disappeared from the thread as she realised she may need to declare it to the new buyer.

ChickenTikkaTellMeWhatsWrong · 25/07/2019 22:59

Also the post about the woman who's neighbours had put a door into their wall that led into the OP's garden, never did find out what happened.

@ChickenTikkaTellMeWhatsWrong I always think if that thread. Wish i knew if it got fixed.

chubbysquid · 25/07/2019 23:07

The softzilla thread is the one I miss too.

And the woman who fancied the builder.

W0rriedMum · 25/07/2019 23:10

@ChickenTikkaTellMeWhatsWrong that one was fake if I recall correctly.

Alleycat1 · 25/07/2019 23:11

I posted an AIBU about this a few.months ago. I think it is only common courtesy for OPs to update as people are asked for advice, they kindly try to help then are just left hanging. I think I put words to the effect that it is like reading a book only to find that the last chapter is missing. I pretty much got flamed.

Twotome · 25/07/2019 23:14

@W0rriedMum I was coming on to say that one. Often think about what happened in the end

notapizzaeater · 25/07/2019 23:15

I hate it when there's no update - people have given advice and support and invested time.

I thought the house with the wall knocked down was true but went silent (same as softzilla) as it had police / legal involvement

ChickenTikkaTellMeWhatsWrong · 25/07/2019 23:18

I agree about updating especially after all the advice given. The reason I made this thread is exactly for that reason, I posted an update about my last thread with a positive outcome and a big thank you to everyone who helped me.

One of my favourite threads (with an update) was the CF's who expected the OP to watch her kids over the 6 weeks holidays and resulted in their kid vomiting on the CF shoes Grin

@WorriedMum @ChickenTikka, that lady has just posted a new update thread. Still spooky!!

Helmlover1 · 25/07/2019 23:22

The woman who fancied the postman!

Schuyler · 25/07/2019 23:23

A lot of threads are trolls or fantasists though.

pikapikachu · 25/07/2019 23:28

The woman who went to Disneyland Paris with her Instagram influencer friend

The Victorian safe

Yy to the garden door

CanCanCanYouDoThe · 25/07/2019 23:28

Was there ever an update from the lady whose dog kept sniffing her husband?

SpottedGingham · 25/07/2019 23:31

Softzilla was pure fiction.
Spangran, hole in the wall was total bollocks.
Many many threads like this on here are inane fictional bullshit yet slathering idiots persist in believing and encouraging the author to further excesses of imagination.

2toe · 25/07/2019 23:33

I want to know what happened with the woman who hid from the gas man, did he come back, did he declare love or had he just left a spanner and wanted it back!

Lochroy · 25/07/2019 23:40

@SpottedGingham I've seen others say both of those were fantasies, but don't think that's ever actually been 'proven'.

@TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble An update!?! Where?

HazelBite · 25/07/2019 23:45

The one about the woman on Guernsey, who was a musician, whose fairly new DH was up to no good, and she was trying to leave?
What happened with the woodland thief?
There are so many, and its true you do wonder what has happened?
