Just that really. Either a totally off topic question, a hilarious response or just something that made you laugh.

For me it was someone who had posted about her office chair frequently appearing damp and smelling of pee and someone just responded “woah we’re halfway there”.

Someone once said ‘pressing f5 like a fucking seal’ and it’s stuck with me for years and I sometimes giggle. If I remember correctly it was an insult to someone lol

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:05

That’s actually just made me laugh out loud.

It was hilarious 😂

‘Balonz is a Sussex name’ still cracks me up after all these years. Grin

“Is that you UCM.?”
Very very vintage

Lou1isa · 03/05/2020 11:11

There was a post where the OP was complaining her husband being a lazy bastard, with one of the posters recommending the OP hide under the bed and grab his ankles to teach him a lesson Grin
Even now I laugh over it.

RuudGullitOnAShed · 03/05/2020 11:12

Beaten to the post with “UCM is that you?”

Still makes me laugh.

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:13

@LaurieMarlow ah Balonz... you just don’t get that standard of wind up anymore Wink

The poster who asked a question about a certain pushchair, then responded to herself years down the line with a recommendation; and the following poster who saiid "you do know you've answered your own post, right?" 🤣

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:14

@Lou1isa that should be advice on every cocklodger thread going forward.

Why don't you stop being such a huge cunt? I reckon your mother should have thought twice before having you, because you've turned out to be a right gobshite.

Just the other day on a heated thread about coronavirus and nurseries.

Made me snort Grin

  • “Is that you UCM.?” Very very vintage*

Yep, this one. It was fabulous.

catinb0oots · 03/05/2020 11:16

Remember when that poster asked what to do with mangoes and someone replied 'juggle them' and the OP had a hissy fit?

BananaBooBoo · 03/05/2020 11:18

Recent ish post about a boyfriend with a fishy smell. One suggestion was to have a good inspection of his orifices. One response to that was to try and look for a medical reason first before examining his balls and crack. Made me howl!!!

Years ago there was a self-appointed MN prefect who used to post on AIBU threads to point out they were in the wrong section.

Prefect: "Shouldn't this be in Chat?"

Poster: "Shouldn't you be on a street corner somewhere?"

I don't know why it tickled me so much but it did Grin

TrophyCat · 03/05/2020 11:19

My yoni says noni

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 03/05/2020 11:20

Someone posted that “getting that rapey bastard Harvey Weinstein into jail is like trying to get a cat in the bath”.

Grin brilliant..still laugh every time I think about it.

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:21

@worraliberty lucky for me - as I think this should probably be in chat!

@catinb0oots I do love a humourless op.

I came to say exactly this!!!!

Mammyloveswine · 03/05/2020 11:24

The snapped and farted thread which we all thought was a hilarious typo until the op came on to explain it was not a typo!

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 03/05/2020 11:24

Very recent one - OP asked what anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists were worried would be in the covid vaccine.

One of the first responses said “Sedation, so we all stay inside whilst they change the batteries in the birds.” Genuinely makes me laugh every time i look out at the garden.

WorraLiberty · 03/05/2020 11:24

Cheesey I honestly didn't think anyone else would remember it Grin

Greydove28 · 03/05/2020 11:25

I always like reading a thread and then someone says- cant get worked up about it sorry. That always make me lol

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:27

@greydove28 - see also “if this is all you have to worry about then lucky you” on something that is patently lighthearted.
