To remind you all it’s the Didn’t Happen Of The Year Awards tonight on Twitter

[Slipppy]

If you have time it’s worth reading all the posts from the finalists but this year we have

Feminism/Suffragettes vs The Voiceless.

Voting opens soon. VOICELESS FOR THE WIN

*for anyone who doesn’t know what it is it’s the annual competition to vote for what is clearly the most bullshit post on the internet from the last year. There’s been some strong contenders but these two are glorious and worthy of a place in the final.

Oh, NHS 🤣

“A woman always knows” - good try

@just5morepeas, these are genuine posts people have written which are clearly nonsense but they are trying to pass off as something which really happened.

Although there is a suggestion people are purposely trying to get in the competition by writing nonsense. I don’t agree anon posts should be allowed in the final!

I'm pretty certain I've read posts from Charlie's mum on MN.

Love Nelson Mandela :)

Surely charlie in asda wins hands down.🤣

Where's the pregnancy one ?

GrouchyKiwi that was my point but I had people hoping I never get old - which was basically saying they hoped I died soon.

Voiceless reads like deliberate satire, so shouldn't win.

Has anyone got a different link to the NHS one? I can't squint at the twitter feed and my drunken googling is only giving me the reddit thread posted above

I nominate elderly men weeping in the egg/loo roll aisle in Sainsburys sadly clutching their shopping list with just one item on it

‘I was so upset for the poor old man that I just had to take his photograph and share it online immediately’.

Some of them are clearly joke posts though. Like the one with the toddler putting on his mum’s uniform and saying he’s going to work. It was a kind of meme a while ago where people would come up with more and more ridiculous things their child had done ie their baby making them breakfast because they’re the best mum in the world.

Should have had a quick look at my LinkedIn feed. These posts are ten a penny on there.

"If you have any contractions please ring 999"

Seems legit! 😂

NHS letter definitely #1!

Vascular lab and the short shorts in Target and snob mother have been viral for years

These are brilliant! Very funny!

NHS letter is the winner for me, hands down.

This is it, hopefully it's readable.

Thanks @CharityDingle . Yep, that's a winner.

You know I think the feminism, suffragettes one might be true. Perhaps not quite the 60 teenage boys she described but I teach at a school where there would definitely be boys who would give that kind of response and then try and get a chant going. I also looked at the poster’s Twitter account and she doesn’t seem like the type/type of account to post a blatant lie for likes.

[quote Slipppy]@SinkGirl the NHS letter one is so so so good. It should have done better. I became fascinated with it and tracked down the original post on FB. The poor girl has clearly got issues [/quote]
Where is the NHS letter one, sorry? I can’t see a pic upthread?

X post

That NHS one is hilarious, another one who can't spell: 'ur' and 'u' for your and you.

I think it is quite likely to happen but not for the reason the poster thinks.
