Things you wish you’d never read on Mumsnet

[Silverflake]

I realised as I was driving to work this morning, that prior to reading someone’s comment on MN about how it irritated them, I had never noticed people having their fog lights on unnecessarily. Now it registers every time I see it and it’s really bloody annoying!

What do you wish you could un-read?

The poster who said he dropped a neighbour’s dog off 100 miles away - I remember the thread but not the poster, who was that again?

Fruitcake I can't imagine anything worse.

The thread about the toddler dying really got me. My mum lost a toddler (Before me) , DD had just been born & was in NICU and that thread just had me in pieces.

I never used to read the Feminist section, but stumbled upon a thread called something like Facilitated men, after reading it I felt like I had taken the red pill. I’ve spent the majority of the time since wandering around experiencing life thinking ‘the fucking cheek of it’.
I then graduated onto the trans self Id stuff, after buying into ‘born in the wrong body’ for years, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Penis beaker and poo crumbs!

I’ve spent the majority of the time since wandering around experiencing life thinking ‘the fucking cheek of it’.

On a thread about Morten Harket a poster came on and said she had professional experience of him and that he has a revolting personal habit. She refused to elaborate.

I have not been able to look at him in quite the same way since, despite a lifelong crush on him.

@furrymulesandPJs
Sorry for what you've been through
The OP was written in a rather naive way so I commented (which I so rarely do) to day 'that's child abuse, police now'. When I went back there was a deletion message it was a previously banned poster. Sick fucker.

The poster who recommended "Readly" app. I signed up and now spend way too much time reading rubbish on various magazines!

Thanks for the flowers. Oh, that is really sick of them then. Of course it could be a previously banned poster who came back under another name and this time was being genuine, but I am guessing that MN probably would not allow a PBP back, so that would be unlikely.

Oh, no Silverflake, I know have that annoying song Homer Simpson sang about forgeting to put the fog lights in....D'oh!!!

Wish I didn’t know misophonia was a thing, I now feel incredibly self-conscious of any noise I make when eating.

Also Mumsnet has opened my eyes to the number of people with poor relationships with their parents, I had no idea! Am not sorry I read it tho.

The post where someone described Jacob R-M as looking like he ejaculates dust. I can't unsee that

The Simpson post has reminded me of the time that poster came on and pretended to be in the situation Principal Skinner was when he had Superintendent Chalmers for dinner and burnt the food and had to get Krusty burgers. It was hysterical

Can’t believe this didnt get more traffic.

Sorry, I know not the point of the thread.

It's opened my eyes to see how many people are suffering under the guise of tradition and expectations. Wider family expecting invites and demanding somewhere to sleep. In-laws blaming the female for their sons' lack of anything because well it's tradition she does it all. Inviting people through gritted teeth to placate them or someone else, often not a household member. Who does all the hosting. Female expected to do everything for her man cos he works long hours.

I could go on. I knew it existed of course. But not to this extent. Yet elsewhere they talk about how liberated and independent they are.

Andrew something Shirley

The one involving poo crumbs in the bed 🤮

The savernake Forest one must be untrue because it wasn’t a single gunshot was it, it was 13 shots in the forest?

I still like stories like that though!

I stopped reading the relationships board because it would bum me the fuck out!

I wish I hadn’t read all the creepy ones every time I read them at fucking night

The fact that people don't wash their hands every single time they go to the toilet.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Blue waffle... Brain bleach needed !!!

Surinam toads. I have a toad/frog phobia so,I darent even google it but there are so many warnings on here about them that I dread to think how bad they can be

Comments about how evil it is to send children to private school and how everyone who went to provate school is somehow a bad person. I didn’t realise there was such an intense culture of hate and unfounded moral superiority in Britain until I came across mumsnet. It makes me feel like people like us are unwelcome in this country.

Another vote for PENIS BEAKERS!!! 😱

Savernake Forest is the one I remember. It still makes me goose-bumpy.
