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”.

I have nothing to add as they've already been posted but I'm coming out of the other side of a 4 day migraine and I needed this Grin

@helpfulperson

There was a thread a while back where the OP typed a word wrong and you couldn't work out what it was meant to be. The thread was something like 'what do I do with xxx' and there was a couple of pages of bizarre Mickey taking suggestions before she came back.

Was it the 'te noihydc' thread? Hilarious!

My favourite thread of all time was the Expectation vs Reality thread.

One poster had bought a blouse with a frill from Monsoon.

‘I looked like a Triceratop in it - come near me and I'll raise my neck frill in defence’

Genius. I howled.

Does anyone remember the thread with the woman who had an escaped hamster in her car? She kept posting updates on what it had eaten that day, was hilarious.

Bluetrews25 · 03/05/2020 19:43

The ironing board (and I suspect the OP) was never found again.....

Ormally · 03/05/2020 19:44

One from quite some time ago but still has the power to ambush me into tears of hilarity on random occasions.
Was a thread about the discovery of a plastic vagina belonging to a DH, that the poster had discovered in the shed. Poster was weighing up leaving or simply disposing of the item, and someone recommended that she should leave but leave a note on the vagina saying "I'm leaving you for someone with a bigger dick!"

Mrsmorton · 03/05/2020 19:46

I've got tears rolling down my cheeks @alphajuliet123 god you lot are funny

UnagiSalmonSkinRoll · 03/05/2020 19:48

I'm sure it was the weirdest xmas thread, but someone who's family had a place on the table for their poodle 🤣

3luckystars · 03/05/2020 19:50

The one asking about showering together, and someone posted "why, are you conjoined twins?"

There are so so many more.

TSSDNCOP · 03/05/2020 19:50

A poster was complaining about someone licking their drive, except they didn't have a drop kerb, just a paved front.

Another poster wrote "that's not a drive, that's a patio with aspirations"

@tomnook beat me to it - “is that you UCM“ still makes me laugh when I think about it all these years later

DressesWithPocketsRockMyWorld · 03/05/2020 19:59

Very recent about the cats paws in the raised beds. Something like "plants them and soon you will have kittens! Yay!" Makes me snort with laughter every time I think of it.

DookaDakkaDikku · 03/05/2020 20:02

The night lockdown was announced, someone started a thread asking what one form of exercise per day we would be choosing.

Someone posted simply, "Decathlon for me"

I'm still laughing all these weeks on Grin

Meredithgrey1 · 03/05/2020 20:07

I read one on a thread about crazy things you did with your PFB where someone told a story about how they had heard abut how the baby should be in one layer more than you. And midway through a walk they'd realised the baby was in the same number of layers as them, so had taken off their own coat. Makes me laugh whenever I remember it.

On a baby names thread:

OP: “What does an Arthur look like?”

Reply: “Well some people think he’s a bear but he’s actually an aardvark.”

Ohdeariedear · 03/05/2020 20:15

Goodness, having now read the thread, I see that is that you UCM was nearly 14 years ago 😳. Blimey!

Did anyone share a picture of King Arther from Disneys The Sword in The Stone?

DianaTrentIsBack · 03/05/2020 20:19

That thread about 'clap for the kids' with everyone telling the OP to fuck off 😂 - but specifically the post that said: ''Binge Drink for Bin Men is happening every night in my house until this thing is over.''

No votes yet for the Is My Hedgehog Fucked thread? One of the greats.

The first response was perfection:

"Dunno about fucked, but certainly looks like it was taken by surprise! "
