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).

In a previous life on here I posted about my ex forcing me to have sex when I didn't want it, garbing me hard between the legs even when the kids were around and being generally abusive. One of the first responses I got was "well you're lucky to get so much attention from your dh. Mine died last year." I also got a couple of "he could be depressed and you should try and help him" responses.

There were also lots or really helpful ones that gave me the strength to leave.

I was called a troll because I couldn’t remember a comment I’d made on a completely different and irrelevant thread about 5 moths prior. They had advanced searched me when I disagreed with them! Yeah they were nuts.

The knee were soomeone says that their husband has left them with four kids and they don't have a penny to their names. You always get that one very helpful poster who says. "Well you shouldn't have had kids if you can't afford them".

[grin]@MalcomTuckerisMyIdol I'm crying and wetting with laughter.

Is that ott enough?

Seriously though, this is a good thread.

That's meant to say ones not knee

@Bettercallgall that’s awful and so glad you did get decent support in amongst the fucking idiots.

More recently the OP being given a bollocking for loving her child more than her dog

Oh god, I thought I was the only one reading that and wondering if I’d tripped and fallen into a parallel universe.

Any post where someone claims to love their cat or dog as much as their children always comes off as hysterical to me.

Also, one time in a post I used the term “Irish goodbye”. I was told I was racist and encapsulated the anti Irish sentiment which runs through Mumsnet like a disease. Someone else searched my (old) username and told the commenter that I was infact, Irish, to which she responded that that made it even worse (?!?!)

People are mental.

Oh and "you are having a child by this man why?"

Because she didn't have a crystal ball, smug twat.

There’s one on at the moment where the OP was told your are abusive’ for not wanting to pay for treats for her friend and her kids every week

I thought that thread may have triggered this one 😂

I once grumbled about DH nicking my morning lie-in when I was up with the toddler at dawn, and someone asked why people like me even bothered to have children. Personally I only had children so I had an excuse to watch Hey Duggee but I could see some people with nobler reasons being very hurt by that.

Oh and I once asked for advice on what I do with an unexpected small windfall.Not “ what should I buy myself” but advice about savings accounts, paying off loans etc and somebody told me I should give it all to a food bank.

Also the many many “get a lawyer” for almost any tiny dispute... because yes everyone wants to spend thousands on taking something to court that could probably be solved amicably.

sobriquet I had that exact thread and response.

Someone had moved into my (mentally unwell and physically disabled) elderly mother's shed.

Thankfully there were sensible replies directing me to the Night watch charity who came out to the shed and hopefully were able to provide him with some support.

Some were shocked and appalled that my rather vulnerable mother wasn't going to invite him into hers for a bath, home cooked meal and bed for the night.

There was one some months back where the op was asking for tips to stop her baby (I think maybe 18 months?) pulling the cat‘s tail. Some of the responses on there! I remember one of the posters referring to the baby as a thug!

One where someone's in laws were offering to pay for the entire extended family to go to Disney. She didn't want to go as it was her idea of hell. Fair enough. Someone replied seriously suggesting she sit her in laws down to ask them to donate all the money they were planning to spend on taking their children and grandchildren on a once in a lifetime holiday to Disney, to a charity for disadvantaged children to go on holidays to the country. I honestly laughed out loud as I imagined the expression on my parents or in laws faces if I suggested this.

On a Brexit panic thread someone tried to reassure everyone that when we are half-starved due to No Deal the USA will air drop food in to save us all.

Some were shocked and appalled that my rather vulnerable mother wasn't going to invite him into hers for a bath, home cooked meal and bed for the night.

Which is actually fascinating since 90% of people here can't even answer the door... Plus... He could end up using the toilet😱

I am a fat, middle-aged woman. I had to attend a corporate event on a boat and required a bikini that I could wear under a kaftan, so that I adhered to the 'dress code'. I didn't want to go, it's not me at all and I've never been on a yacht in my life.

I made the mistake of asking on MN if anybody could recommend a plus-sized bikini.

OMG, the abuse I got for that! I was accused of stealth bragging about my huge boobs and champagne & yacht lifestyle! It was fucking hilarious.

The ones were someone is posting about having very serious issues with say their husband

And then someone appears to say WELL I WISH I COULD SEE MY HUSBAND AGAIN BUT HE'S DEAD

There is one particular poster who posts this on every single thread which so much as mentions a husband. It’s always awful.

I always find it ridiculous when an OP mentions a wedding dilemma, and some poster shimmies along with a cat bum mouth to officiously interrogate why the OP isn’t getting married in her jeans in a registry office with one random witness pulled off the street for the occasion, because wanting a normal wedding is clearly a sign that they’re a Disney Princess wannabe who doesn’t actually love their fiancé and just sees them as a means to a big fancy party and lots of attention.

There was one a while ago about a woman who had rescued a large aggressive dog (from memory it was a Doberman mix) about 9 years ago. She’s got him as a 2 year old who had already had 5 homes.

She couldn’t have visitors to her house (even her parents) as her go for them, couldn’t leave him, had to walk him at night as he would attack other dogs. She’d spent £££££££ on vets, trainers and behaviourists trying to help him, but nothing worked. The woman sounded like a saint.

She found out she was pregnant after thinking she was infertile and knew he wasn’t safe to be around a baby or child. She was looking for advice about what to do with a 12 year old, very aggressive dog and her vet had mentioned PTS as a option she should really consider.

People on AIBU TORE HER APART. Someone seriously told her she should have put any plans to have a baby on hold until her dog died. Bonkers.

When people post about something non covid related and get the following responses:
If that person's not in your bubble, you never should have seen them anyway.
I take it you're not in the UK because it's still lockdown.
I take it you haven't had to teach your own children and work from home.
You need to be working through the summer and every Saturday so my child can catch up on their learning.
I've wondered if some people have posted on the wrong thread sometimes, the responses have been that bizarre

Some of the responses to the penis beaker thread. Or just the fact there was the penis beaker thread.

The one where the OP was ill and someone suggested that no way should they go to A&E as it would be riddled with Covid but should find a local vet instead. 😂

This thread has made my evening so well done for starting it. My favourite threads are usually SM ones. The amount of people who say utterly vile things to some poor woman often just looking for a bit of advice because she isnt giving her whole wage to DHs ex whilst she walks around in a sack (I'm imagining a shame bell ringing behind her) is staggering. If she wants to have her own hobbies, keep separate finances or have literally any time to adjust to major life changes she's worse than Hitler and should be burnt at the stake. However, she must also totally keep her nose out of any parenting that isnt just being a bank and taxi, and must never question the ex. Some of the comments of 'well you couldn't ship your own child off' as if they never send their DC for sleepovers with granny.

Someone once told me bringing by kids up bilingual was showing off. Sorry love but I like my kids to be able to talk to me AND their dad, I’m funny like that.
