What's the most bonkers thread you've read on here?

[passioninthisworld]

I've been on Mumsnet for around 10 years now, I have read some crazy threads.

I'm lying in bed hungover and looking for some stories to brighten up my shameful Saturday afternoon.

If anyone wants to share it would be greatly appreciated

I very much doubt it.

<whispers> but I'm on the Barry thread linked on here. That was a fun one. Different UN. I'm not the OP though. I think that was the very, very wonderful JesusInACabbageVan. Very sadly, I think she left mn recently. 😔 😪 💔

This isn't bonkers, but 'The most trivial reason you have ended a relationship' has to be worthy of another mention? Made me laugh so much.

the one about taking a snake to the park that’s doing the rounds at the moment is giving me a good lol 😂

I haven’t read the full thread so no idea if this has been mentioned. Years ago a poster started a thread asking if posters thought it was reasonable for her to ring her dh at work and get him to come home. The reason being that she was stuck on the worktop in the kitchen and couldn’t get down. After several posts it transpired that she had been reaching for tablets in the top cupboard and couldn’t get down. Lots of posters suggested she just slide down steadily into the floor, or jump down. Get down herself rather than make her dh come home. The poster kept saying she couldn’t get down.
I can’t even remember how it ended. I think she insisted that she would rather ring her dh and get him to lift her off the worktop.

Wait, what? Where!

@cassiatwenty its a goldmine!

I remember one where the OP was outraged because some man on a bus had spoken to her.

If not mentioned yet, this was pure gold!

There was a blocked-in-neighbour's-guest-who-parked-on-our-drive one where, after a series of irate conversations/text exchanges, the OP's DH dressed up in something odd (full hazmat suit?) to answer the door to the neighbour's friend but it turned out to be the police. Who took it in their stride.

I’m just here for an excuse to read “penis beaker” again.

Just read the pate thread.

It didn't take long before someone told the OP off for buying pate. Apparently it's very easy to make.

Yeah, whatever.

Some of the most bonkers ones are those where the OP's partner has made some trivial transgression like leaving a wet towel on the bed, to be met with a succession of PP's practically foaming at the keyboard demanding she LTB. They will accept nothing less than the OP coming back to say yes, she has indeed LTB.

Loved the pate thread too, and the one where the clown at the big top made a jizz garnished sausage dog with balloons

Just remember this one too - has anyone mentioned Fanny Gravel yet? 😂🤢

I still don’t know why working in education is relevant to the story either!

Seasalt jumpsuit thread for anyone looking for it.

CherryCokeFanatic..is the woodland one where the person was house sitting and the dog rushed out into a scary haunted wood?

@Passthesickbagmabel
ooh I remember that one - proper creepy!

I think my all time favourite was, iirc @marmaladetwatkins and the LDC (Lemon Drizzle Cunt PTA women)
I still occasionally punch a lemon drizzle cake when at the supermarket!😂

Also I can’t quite remember the OP name but it was something like “Fuck you Karen and that horse” about the field that belonged to the OP but there was a horse that needed to be
moved and it eventually was and there was a party I think?
That was brilliant!

And does anyone know how Polly and her dollies are getting on?

"Savernake Forest".

That story was well-written and entertaining but it was nothing more than a creative writing exercise. It wasn't an entire thread, just a post on one of those 'Ghosts and Hauntings' threads that pops up from time to time.

It's obviously left quite an impression on quite a number of people, though. There have been a number of threads posted by other people since, who were trying to find the original.

It's not even well-written. I'm baffled why so many people think that story is the scariest thing ever.

It was Alan. I remember coz I read it out to my husband, also an Alan, and couldn't stop laughing!

This is Mumsnet. I meant by relative standards 😂

😁I know I quoted you but you're definitely not the first to say it's well-written.

Alan!!!!

I think it was FuckYouChrisAndTheSameGoesForThatHorse

I’ve revised my view. I think the craziest one is the one today about knocking down walls so that the whole family can sleep in one room.
