What’s most OTT response you’ve ever seen on a thread?

(LIGHT HEARTED)

Just that really.

I think my favourite was fairly recently - CV related and one of the first responses to was “You dh is literally trying to kill you” (along the lines of not wearing a mask in the shops).

@locked2020 Rubber gioves?

@lamazoon. Thanks! I put bleach down before using brush so I've been giving myself extra work all this time. I should have been brave enough to ask previously.

My favourite was one where the OP had a morning of relaxation - long bath, blow drying hair etc. Her DH took the kids out to swimming lessons, gave them lunch and heated up leftovers for himself. She hadn’t heard them come in because of the blow drying but was put out to come downstairs and find he hadn’t made her food as well.

Some posters were all, “this is a red flag” and ltb over it.

And the fish troll, who used to write about going to visit aquariums with a friend or relative who would become aroused.

Wtf

And a plimsoll/slip on shoe troll, who I think I have seen on every parenting forum I have ever looked at at some point. Bizarre.

Oh yes, I remember the plimsoll troll.
Luckily for me I missed the fish troll, just like WTF?

@IHaveBrilloHair

Oh yes, I remember the plimsoll troll. Luckily for me I missed the fish troll, just like WTF?

Hilarious! Gutted I missed those. Clearly I need to get a life. Poor Nemo.

Some of the teacher vs parent stuff is getting absolutely ridiculous. There's a recent thread by a mother saying she's at the end of her tether with homeschooling, didn't blame or even mention teachers, and the teacher clique all popped in at once accusing her of teacher bashing. Absurd.

Oh the hysterical threads berating women for daring ttc during the pandemic and how we should hold off trying for at least a year or not bother having children at all because after all its selfish. (but its ok because they were smart enough to have children before the pandemic)

The baby name threads have some great responses. OP recently asked for suggestions for a brother for Everest and basically got told that she should be reported to social services.

A lot of the baby names ones are made up crap, at least I hope so.
Balonz anyone?

Not the most OTT but recent one was that fat people ought to be ashamed.of getting fat

Um, no. Not ashamed

The one right now about beibg a second wife, and someone asks if its polygamy

The ones that tell op it's none of their business.

My step daughter is 15 doing drugs and prostituting herself, please help.

None of your business OP, leave it to the parents.

Oh, and the one where someone told me milk and bread are not essentials at the beginning of lockdown so I shouldn't shop for them.

They are in my house love 🤣

I once had a (LIGHTHEARTED!) Moan about my FIL and the fact he always insisted on meeting us in restaurants, meaning DH & I would have to spend every monthly meet up with him tackling our very lively 2 year old twins - tantrums, food everywhere, bolting etc, while FIL sat there having a lovely meal and glass of wine. I still remember the batshit responses.

One poster replied that if I cant handle taking my toddlers to restaurants then obviously I'm not fit to be a mum, and another said we needed to go NC with FIL as he was going to give the kids food issues. I ended up feeling really guilty as FiL is actually really lovely and a great grandfather, it was just this one annoyance I had with him.

Cows milk is for baby cows

And all the

'999 NOW'

For a possible ingrown toenail

This morning.
Opening poster wants to hear experiences of 'being the second wife'.

First reply: 'What?! As in polygamy?'

There was a thread a little earlier on in lockdown where one of the posters said if lockdown was eased , people would start " running wild" in shopping malls and soft play centres. I must have had the devil in me that day because I said I was going to start running wild in shopping centres the moment I can ( it was tongue in cheek!)
The deluge of outrage was hilarious, the usual that I'm killing people etc !

I have occasionally dipped in to the horsey threads. They give the dog owners a good run for their money.

Also the walking in the countryside ones - the range is from everywhere to never. With very little of the sensible middle ground (on a footpath, making a judgement about cattle in the way).

@MarthasGinYard

Cows milk is for baby cows

I'm not vegan, but isn't this true?

Of course it's true

baby cows They're called calves. They can be either male or female
They're not babies
HTH

I don't understand what's OTT about it?
