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 yes, the one with the poster responding to self about the push chair. I literally howled.

We call MIL dementor because she sucks the joy out of everything.

@3catsandcounting Oh I loved that one about the pushchair. It never gets old. Just perfectly sums up how the early years of motherhood can fry your brain and leave you talking to yourself. Even online Grin

ViciousJackdaw · 03/05/2020 11:36

It was a couple of years ago now but in response to a benefit basher, someone wrote 'Get the kettle on love, that piss won't boil itself' Grin

Who was/is UCM?!

I laughed the other day at a response on the Banjo Robinson feedback thread. A poster said her children hadn't got on board with the idea of a globetrotting cat sending them letters "because we have a cat and they know that just doesn't happen".

when it goes on for pages, and someone starts ranting about it, it tends to make me smile!

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:46

@Pelleas I wonder how they get on with Puss in Boots (or any film with a talking animal).

There was a post about a husband eating what she thought was cannabis sweets out of their daughters car and he was feeling unwell, the OP disappeared for a while and a poster said something about them cracking open the glow sticks and raving to two unlimited.

I don’t think the post ended up being genuine but the whole thread was hilarious.

Namechange2020onceagain · 03/05/2020 11:53

The one where the OP had gotten a casserole dish stuck on the hob and was asking for suggestions to unstick it. She said I used a fish slice and sex lube but it didn’t shift it.

What really made me laugh was the reply. All the lines of “I’m astonished that the fish slice and sex lube didn’t work, they are my go to implements for emergencies”

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 11:59

Ah the old fish slice and lube!

the poster explaining "I got banned because I called myself a twat" made me laugh

onedaysoonish · 03/05/2020 12:10

A while ago a poster mentioned she didn't leave her washing out at night for fear it would get "darked on"

I don't know why it's funny but I could not stop laughing.

I AM Canadian!!!

BuddleiaTime · 03/05/2020 12:17

One fairly recent one has passed into family use here.

The poster had sold her dining room chairs but still had the (now useless) table.

She described it as "sitting there like a cunt".

That was (truly) the fist time I have laughed aloud at anything on the internet while in my own and couldn't wait to share my joy at this wonderful expression.

It has come in very useful since.

stakeholderwizz · 03/05/2020 12:19

Just had a good chuckle about balonz Grin

Margaritatime · 03/05/2020 12:19

One of the first responses said “Sedation, so we all stay inside whilst they change the batteries in the birds.” *

From the thread where the ex was allegedly feeding his children badger, something along the lines of

Is it from the sett menu?

Pelleas · 03/05/2020 12:25

Carolduckingbaskin I keep wanting to say it now whenever I see anything fantastical on TV. Grin

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 12:26

@Pleasebeafleabite wonder how he’s getting on now - foraging for badger as part of his daily exercise I suppose.

Mine was a thread title 'Someone's stolen my f'ing Cava' It was out of the open boot of her car on her drive and I think of it every time I leave the boot open and nip in the house!

MayFayner · 03/05/2020 12:34

My memory is useless but a recent one was on the thread about the teenage girl staring in from next-door on her trampoline.

Someone suggested a sign saying “STOP FUCKING STARING”

Just perfectly placed between the earnest “ask her if she needs something” and the overly aggro “get out the super soaker NOW” posts.

Ahhh... I don’t know why it tickled me so much but I was laughing for ages.

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 12:35

@Pelleas “my children can’t get on with Paw Patrol as our cockapoo is stupid and they know he wouldn’t be able to obtain a pilot’s licence”.

I can't remember exact replies, but the responses on the thread where the Posters husband stared at a womans cleavage, in response the woman had the audacity to wink at him let him know she'd caught him being a perv. It had me howling lots of LTB and dial 111 immediately. It really didn't go the way the OP thought it would.
