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'm sure I don't know what you mean.

That story reminded me of the "old blonde joke", where she goes to the city council meeting to complain that the deer are not going across the road at the "deer crossing" signs. She wanted someone to do something, so they would only cross where they were allowed.

Thanks for sharing, I've been here years and never seen that one before. Brilliant. 😆

The thread that made me laugh the hardest, one poster divulged that in her family a poo that exits, escapes down the u bend without the need to flush, and left no residue was called a Lucky Barry. I have stolen it.

But why were they screaming?

You're a bit of a Rogue 😅😋

😊😆😘😘
It's just a normal thread up until about pg 18. Then it gets funny

I'm sure the thread is in classics but can't find it to refresh my memory

The one where someone was a guy doing work on ops house. And they rocked up with their grandmother who couldn't speak English. And she was just parked in the garden for hours. And the op wanted to be hospitable but couldn't communicate with her

There's one at the moment with a woman having spent three days staying with someone and raging about the textiles in their house! Too many carpets, curtains and cushions! In the title actually blaming the UK. Cue obsession with flooring, someone heaving when they hoover and the OP hating carpets because of "gross bare feet and spillages"!! Very odd and very very amusing. Also a different take on UK bashing. I'll get a link.

So moved by the beauty of the art.

It.was.hilarious!!!

I love "the UK should have moved on from carpeting"!! It's probably a wind up, but it's very amusing and brings out the hygiene weirdos. Enjoy!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for posting this one!!!

As pp have said, hen do ones are usually bonkers, and there's been a flurry of mad bridesmaid ones recently.

I can't find it now to link but I was howling at the one where a woman accidentally painted a pigeon 🤣

@Rogue1001MNer Will you kindly help me access this thread? Is it in classics? I agree art can be very moving though unsure how others experience it

My faves have been posted - pom bears, rapey dolphins and entitled use of supersoakers.

I also loved an absolutely bonkers thread where OPs Dds hamster had died on Dds bday, the little girl had left for school without seeing him and so hadn't reslised. The Op was debating popping him in the freezer for a day or two, so as not to ruin the birthday and the party they were having the next day!

That thread put me on mind of the poster quite some time back who wanted her guests to take off their shoes when they entered her house, but she did have a selection of artisenal slippers to offer them 🤣

I can't fully remember the details, but the thought of someone having a random basket of artisenal slippers has always amused me.

Penis beaker!

I've been here for nearly 20 years. There have been many, but one that sticks in my mind involved an OP who was stranded on her worktop because her husband had gone to work and she couldn't get down. She then said she was ill because nobody was very sympathetic to her plight, and all of a sudden her mum was there and she had a doctor's appointment and was diagnosed with flu, all within the space of about 2 hours. I think the OP was called UpsideUp, but the only thread that's in AS under that name is one about whether a slug could have moved a glass which she put on top of it.

Korean lady. Mentioned upthread.
Ever so slightly racist and very probably untrue. See also Mexican house thief and the patio door bollocks.

Might have been me. I have a box of slippers. Wouldn't call them "artisanal", though (I can spell it). Just a set of 6 that came off eBay. They're not mandatory, just an option if people want them.

There was one about puddles and awful neighbours that sounded ridiculous but haven’t been able to find it again

I remember one where the OP was being annoyed by someone, at work I think it was, so whenever she spoke the OP made pigeon noises at her - or maybe it was owl noises. The OP didn't seem to think it was a strange thing to do at all.

The woman who screamed when she saw the Sistine chapel 😂

@cassiatwenty

Can't seem to find sistine Chapel screamer.

But this one is great....
