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).

The poster who told the OP who was being constantly sexually assaulted by her husband that is 'what men do' and accused her of being a prude.

Yes, posts like this when the OP is told, there must be something wrong with you if you dont want your DH to touch you. Get some therapy.

Actually if he has been sexually assaulting her for years, shes totally the normal one if she cant bear him to touch her

@NothingIsWrong cheese in coffee

So many of the CV police are so bloody self righteous and hysterical !

@MalcomTuckerisMyIdol rescue greyhounds fold up very small

Hahaha, I remember cucumber one.
Oh the luxury of two cucumbers

A thread with an OP talking about an unplanned pregnancy despite using protection and asking for advice and someone put:

"was he actually wearing the condom when you got pregnant?"

Imagine saying that to someone in real life!! Felt awful for her.

cherryvalanc the chasing pigeons one made me feel awful too! Had never thought it was a TERRIBLE PIECE OF ANIMAL CRUELTY before. Pigeons seem to be able to look after themselves.

[quote Coronabegone]@ConstantlySeekingHappiness I can't find that thread, please link it, it sounds hilarious! [/quote]

My favourite posts are on page 4... the OP is advised to donate all her money to charity and given an example of what a real problem is.

Although reading it back I forgot how many sensible people there were just giving their ideas.... the crazy ones just seemed to jump out at the time.

Not the pigeons near here. I made a non essential trip to go for a run with a friend and the buggers were just sitting around in the road. I didn't hit any but that was definitely luck not judgement

Any kind of wedding guest one brings out completely crazy responses. Most people i know are happy to be invited to a wedding or politely say they cant go.

Real OTT responses are when the in laws dont feed the op/ops children. Theres always someone suggesting they order in a full banquet or smuggle it in a suitcase.
A few snacks sounds fine but one poster suggested taking a roast chicken and some cous cous/side salads hidden in a bag to eat secretly upstairs

@Needcoffeecoffeecoffee am now picturing someone taking an unwrapped full roast chicken out of their handbag

I was coming home this morning and when I drove down my street there were a load of pigeons on the road. They flew off as I drove near them. Because of that thread, I realised I had committed an act of vile animal cruelty. I called the police and reported myself.

Thank you @ConstantlySeekingHappiness

My favourites are where 2 different posters post about similar problem but the responses are complete opposite.

This is not necessarily OTT response but it's always funny when someone interprets op completely wrong and then suddenly everyone else starts talking about that interpretation and it escalates to a very weird direction.

There was a CV one where the OP was swapping books for her DC while on their daily walk and the other posters said "that's not an essential trip" and "buy your DD a Kindle".

Whenever I've moaned about being at home with two small children for the last 100+ days I've been told I should never have had them or, my favourite, I should have thought about it before I had them. I'm sure if I had the foresight to predict the global pandemic I would be rich enough to buy a team of nannies to look after my children.

Also, randomly, I enjoyed the thread over the weekend where the OP asked for advice on buying loose bloomers to go under her dress to avoid chafing and everyone was suggesting cycle shorts etc. from the same retailer after she'd said about 19 times that she didn't like that style. It was entertaining.

There was on earlier this evening about a woman wanting to return a new dress that didn’t fit, it had lipstick on it.
GIVE IT TO A FOODBANK. DON’T RUIN YOUR LIFE BY BEING DISHONEST OP. ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT.
Then the lawyers come out, quoting shop return policies for a beige dress.
Give it a rub down with a baby wipe.
Bit of perspective please.

cherry I should think so too!

The one where the OP was told to gift her tenants her house was insane
Does anyone have a link or some key words to do a search?

And of course on any thread mentioning council housing there's always someone accusing tenants of being dependent on the state or not being grateful to have a free house.

[quote MalcomTuckerisMyIdol]@Changeofsceneryisgood crying and shaking is the new incandescent with rage.
A football came into my garden - now I’m crying and shaking/incandescent with rage[/quote]
Crying and shaking as a reaction has been around for years. I'm always bemused at the ones who claim to have been crying and shaking for hours or even days. Who has the energy to do that?

The council house ones are crazy.

"My council house is covered in mould, has no ceilings and is infested with rats, I've complained but they are going to take 3 months to come out, and my baby now has a chest infection"

"Don't you know how lucky you are to have your FREE house that's being subsidised with MY taxes? Be grateful."

Posters also assume that council housing = being on benefits as well. I had to explain, at length, that I pay my own rent on one thread, a couple of posters still didn't get it. Then one that did said that I should give my council house up as I had a job and go into private rent. Not a chance I'm paying twice as much to live somewhere with a 6 month tenancy agreement because an internet random called me immoral, cheers anyways though.

There was an OP worrying about husband woth obvious eating disorder.

Someone came in with how intermittent fasting is healthy...

I posted a thread (not under this name) where I asked for views on an issue I was having with a twat at work, and I received some excellent advice which I followed and which ultimately resolved the situation. But one poster for some reason decided to take massive offence at the whole thing and got really angry with me, deciding that I must be lying, that the twat was right, that my manager (who actually was blissfully ignorant of the entire issue) must despise me and be about to sack me, etc etc - with posts getting longer and longer each time. They also did a very obvious sock puppet so they could open up a new field of attack, only unfortunately for them MN detected it and deleted the new posts. I might have assumed that the poster actually was the twat but for the fact that I'd changed some of the facts and s/he took them at face value.

I was quite bemused. How can anyone get that wound up with something a stranger posts on the internet? And they must have wasted hours composing great long posts which were clearly designed to put me right in my place but which were so far off the mark that they were funny.

Oh and don't forget "Raging on your behalf OP"..
