To ask- What’s the funniest response you’ve seen to a post on Mumsnet?

[Carolduckingbaskin]

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”.

Oh, that's amazing. I'd always assumed that the thread got derailed onto penis beaker territory but nope, that's how it starts

The thread which was derailed by a wank mitten had me crying with laughter.

funniest one I saw was talking about leaving washing out on line overnight, one girl said she was worried spiders rubbed their willies on the clothes

A good while ago a woman posted that she had been in hospital for non emergency, not life threatening surgery and prior to it she had felt very stressed and was worried but it had turned out to be a different experience and she felt fully rested and cared for and the food wasn't that bad. The first poster wrote back 'It's not TRIPADVISOR'

There was one many years ago, a woman was talking about how worried she was that air being forced up her vagina by vigorous sex might harm her baby. Many bewildered responses followed about how air could be forced up that far, one response was "I mean if you use bellows maybe".

I was heavily pregnant, suffering from insomnia and was reading in the middle of the night. The bed was shaking as I tried and failed to stop laughing, no idea why it just tickled me SO much!

I still have my t-shirt with this on!

@TomNook I still have my t-shirt with this on!!

A troll posted in gardening something weird and sexual, to which the only response I saw before it was deleted said, "...and you decided to post this in GARDENING?!" which really made me chuckle.

Also the thread where the op would not accept that pregnancies are dated from LMP and that you are not, therefore, actually pregnant for the first 2 weeks. She kept saying "so that means when you're supposed to be 40 weeks you're actually 38?" And "so how does the 20 week scan work if you're only 18 weeks then?!" I don't know what was funnier - her stubborn refusal to accept that this is how pregnancies are dated, or the increasingly frustrated posters trying to convince her that was the case!

Oh, and the recent sea monster thread - I was crying with laughter at one point!

In response to someone saying that “you can’t cure stupid”

Someone said “You can, but it is invariably fatal. However, the person in question never does anything stupid again”

Really made me laugh.

The woman asking for Anal Bleaching advice is still my favourite - especially this tip from DickTERFin

If you are desperate to do it then I would look for a professional arse pinker upper.

The thread about the nextdoor neighbour who kept parking her car across her drive so she built a bin fort and dressed up an Olaf

My favourite one was where OP wakes up to several R.I.P. posts from her FB friends on her wall and trying to figure out what happened. The thread itself was hilarious anyway, but one of the answers “You need to call in dead to work” just had me literally crying for 5 minutes.

‘Wrong thread Wendy’

I was convulsed by some of the responses to the "Ballsack" thread yesterday:

Probably studying French literature, specifically Honoré de Balzac.

Does studying Balzac involve shouting “Balzac!” out the window?

Maybe it's Balonz trying to contact his brother Balzac.

Shout back "FANNY FLAPS" and see what response you get.

Please call the police and tell them someone is shouting ballsack every half hour, but make sure you record the call so we can all enjoy it.

I love this thread. Might go out and start shouting Ballsack myself.

Imagine knocking on someones door to ask why they are yelling Ballsack.

And what exactly is the problem with someone shouting ballsack every so often?

Shout "Minge" in response OP.
Let us know how it goes.

I've been shouting 'ballsack' every half hour today too, op! Sorry, I didn't think you could hear me in your detached soundproofed house...

He's shouting ballsack for the NHS. Obs.

@belleende Oh my god I nearly pissed myself reading that - I shall be adopting that one too.

I've led a sheltered life, and come late to this … what is a 'penis beaker?'

what is a 'penis beaker?'

Ah, you maybe have a different name for it, but you know the glass you keep beside the bed so your partner can wash his knob in it after sex,,,that’s a penis beaker..🤣

Recently there was a post about a posters DH who wouldn't stop playing with his balls.

Someone commentented "just start strumming your flaps as you go about your business"

I laughed for ages

I just snorted so loudly I woke the baby 😂😂😂 thank you for the hedgehog finger up the bum reminder, whoever it was 😂😂😂 that's probably my favourite

Someone posted:

“How often do you have sex?”.

A poster replied:
“2-3 times per week” (that might have even been me!)

Someone then posted in response:
“Nobody wants to know about your sex life!”

Oh I remember the penis beaker thread. Funny as. Reading Mumsnet threads could be a full time job!

“Milk & Bread are not essential shopping items”

Penis beaker totally made up bollocks.

Again on the screaming at the Michel Angelo thread was the great response "Don't go to Jerusalem" I laughed like a drain.

Thanks for this thread .... I’ve been horribly ill and needed a good laugh, can always rely on MN🤣
