the most ridiculous thing you’ve read on here?

[GaaaaarlicBread]

I’ve been on MN since September so still fairly new but I’m obsessed . I am always reading AIBU’s but I’m hooked on the chat section, and I have read some funny stuff over the last few months . Just wanting a laugh really so if you’ve been on here a while , are there any particular threads that have stuck with you ?

check out classics

Any thread about food has a good selection of redic on there!

During a bf v ff debate, someone posted that she was adamant most 5 year olds in the country were still bf to sleep at night.

There was one where there was a typo in the first post so it made no sense and it wasn't obvious what it was meant to be. . There followed pages of mornington crescent type posts discussing perfectly seriously something that noone knew what they were actually talking about. OP came back hours later to a thread full of nonsense.

The one who accidentally immac-ed her baby.

I have been around for a few years under several usernames.

My favourites over the years are Lemon Drizzle PTA bitch, Mexican House thief, and elderly Korean lady in my garden.
The original Bridezilla one by Tidydancer, when the OP got sent a Save The Date, but this turned into a demand to help the bride decorate the reception rather than an invitation.

I also loved the one where the OP was FUMMIN that her ds was the ONLY one not given a part in the nativity. It was the thread that kept on giving when on a bit of digging, it turned out she had withdrawn him from religious stuff at school (because she didn't do god and all that shite) but just would not see that the nativity comes under religion at school and was going to demand her ds could be an atheist donkey or something.

Penis beaker was just stupid, there have been much better oens,

I don't remember what the thread was about but I sent this to a lot of people

There’s one on Classics about a woman hosting Christmas and being disappointed that, when she phoned her friend to find out ‘what scrummy dessert she’d be bringing’, it turned out to be a £3 Iceland job. It doesn’t sound like it’s got classic potential, but the woman is so awful you can’t stop reading. About halfway through she seems to click she’s coming across as a snobby nightmare and switches to self-parody. THEN a few posters agreeing with her come out of the woodwork and getting massively over-the-top about how they would have brought at least three choices of desserts, mince pies, seventeen types of cream AND a cheeseboard.

Another favourite of mine was the woman who wanted to take her new boyfriend and his kids to a family lunch (despite them having never met said kids), was told twice ‘No, we just want close family today’, then still turned up with them all later that afternoon (fixating on the technicality that she hadn’t actually gone to the lunch) and walked in on her brother announcing his engagement. The fiancée burst into tears and ran out; the OP also started crying and had to be driven home; the boyfriend presumably ran a long way in the other direction... it was batshit.

Most ridiculous has to be split between:

Corbyn would make a great PM and
Boris has any integrity.

@Namestranger

Not a whole thread, just this one sentence (read it just now):

When the OP is asked (by a couple of different posters) how old they are

''I don’t want to say exactly how old as it will out me''

The wedding one where the bride wants to send elderly guests to see ‘The lion king’ and a meal at the Holiday Inn instead of being at her wedding in case they died and ruined the wedding! Must be in ‘Classics’

I remember that one @GameSetMatch

@Laiste that one had to be a wind up surely 😂😂😂

Where are these "Classics Threads" ?

The woman screaming at works of art never fails to make me really belly laugh.

The bit that really cracks me up is where she writes "We went to the Sistine Chappell the day after and I ended up screaming at the MichaelAngelo. A number of tourists tried to console me but DH just walked off muttering "for fucks sake".

I need to know if they are still together or just holiday seperately?

I once saw someone pretending to be of the opinion claim that having a cleaner was the same basic necessity as having running water and electricity at home. And not in an "I love my cleaner and don't know what I'd do without her" sort of way either, but making a direct comparison. 🙄

Oh and one person on a thread about work related skills.

"This could be outing as I'm very senior, but... I'm a people person".

Yeah, nobody has ever claimed to be that before.

Ive just read through the woman screaming at the sistene chapel one. Thats my favourite so far.

This one creased me up...

In the last few days

"Will Movical work for my blocked toilet "

That had to be a wind up surely

The one in the homely village where on Christmas Eve all the villagers gather for a nativity and the sheep have fairy lights and there’s a star shaped pavlova.

In fact, all the villagers have the exact same food: Gammon, Cumberland sauce, baked potatoes, homemade coleslaw, red cabbage, vegetable tart, cheese then a star shaped pavlova. They have an open door supper.

I'm also fairly new. One had me chucking a few days ago. Poster having a huge tantrum cause her boyfriend bought his sister flowers for her birthday and never gets her flowers. She then revealed that on her birthday that he got her a games console. Posters were trying to reason with her by pointing out how lucky she was to get a games console but nope she was still fuming over the flowers. It was bonkers!

I remember a thread a while ago with an idiot woman who said that people shouldn't need to use Food banks, they could forage for berries or go and shoot wild game instead. Utterly barmy.
