Just for fun.

Mine is the woman who posted for advice about what to do about her husband who was talking to their cat really sensually. Not baby talk but like sensuous loving ”ooh your fur is so good my darling pussycat” and it gave her the absolute ick.

Every time I talk to my dog I remember her and chuckle. I wonder how she’s doing 😂

The woman who lived on wotsits she kept in a bedside cabinet.

The woman who chose to miss a long awaited appointment for her SN child because the dog had an appointment with a behaviourist.

There man who drove a neighbours annoying dog into the woods and left it there.

The pregnant woman who got upset because her DH didn't give her enough emotional support to eat chips and beans in the hospital canteen.

Softzilla, titzilla, lobster boy, they lady whose neighbours were convinced she was causing rain puddles in the garden.

She was a troll.

Lobster boy thread. I often wonder if the OP of that thread managed to convince her DD to leave her awful DH.

I know she has updated over the years and that the OP's own DH passed away. Was all just really sad.

I believe the OPs username has tje word Champagne in it. There was a thread on chat she has been updating recently, the situation is very sad still.

Allthatwegotisthispalebluedot · 02/09/2023 17:17

Lots of mine have been mentioned buuuut:

  • the foster carer who cared for the baby born addicted to drugs.
  • savernake Forest (there’s a road near me called savernake road and it stresses me out when I drive past it!)
  • a post where a woman was looking for a very specific jellycat blush rabbit. Every single time I go into a shop selling them I look for the damn rabbit. I don’t know if she ever found it in the end???

The Ford Ranger parked on OP's land so she locked the gates behind it. She had a lovely brother who fetched a carvery takeaway. When the car was eventually collected the CF sent his OH to make a totally untrue excuse for him. Like many others I kept checking for updates all weekend.

On a sadder note, Expat's Aillidh.
I'll always remember her and talk to Expat often.

HippyChickMama · 02/09/2023 17:22

Every time we go to Gloucester services, en route to Somerset/Devon/Cornwall, and I spot the artisan scotch eggs I remember the fat ball post and laugh to myself

Savemesos · 02/09/2023 17:22

i came across a thread about house plants and how the bastard thing wouldn’t die, I think she’d inherited it so it wasn’t a case of just throwing out - cue lots of people posting photos of their plants in various degrees of distress. It was really funny and I often think of it when I’m watering mine.

One that haunts me, from over a decade ago, is a poster in a horribly abusive relationship, desperate to escape.
She described in detail how he 'signalled' when she was to have sex with him, by trimming his pubic hair and leaving it scattered around the bathroom.
The poor woman was broken, I often wonder how she is and if she ever managed to escape him 🙁

There’s another abusive one that I think about - a woman whose husband insisted on sex every morning when she just wanted to lie there after she woke up and listen to bird song. It really upset me but she came back and updated some time after - had left and was happy.

Moodwill · 02/09/2023 17:23

On a thread about pronouns, someone said something like: "There are some weird ones now like bink/bonk, fae/foe, but generally I don't think it's a problem."

Another poster replied with "Speak for bonkself."

HaveSomeIntrospect · 02/09/2023 17:23

I often think fondly of penis beaker, spatula and lube, and the old korean lady. They don’t make them like that anymore…..
but my all time favourite is Mexican house thief 🤣

SayNoToDoorToDoor · 02/09/2023 17:24

TSC’s swimming pool minge flash still makes my chuckle.

Also the OP who posted about her pregnant friend being lured to the US by the baby daddy to give birth there. She was worried the man would choose to keep the baby and her friend would have no choice but to come home alone.

Sussurations · 02/09/2023 17:24

‘Tiny wanker’ cracks me up every time I think about it.

I remember reading the Hauck stroller one - I was on my own in a cafe and really struggled to control my laughter.

also from Classics, I loved the Take a Break and OMG the anality of PIL threads (especially the PIL who asked the poster to print the test sheet once a week while they were on a cruise, to make sure their printer ink didn’t dry out).

Irishwelshetal · 02/09/2023 17:24

Whyohwhywyoming · 02/09/2023 15:58

Not a classic MN, but there was a post recently from a woman whose autistic child was very high need and would never live independently etc just basically talking about how difficult it is with a condition that is on a spectrum for people to understand what autism meant in different contexts, and how although ND positivity was a good thing it didn’t always make space for people like her child. I have been thinking about it since I read it.

That post got deleted because the OP had been previously banned from the site. I wonder why?!

Moodwill · 02/09/2023 17:26

I saved this post at the time in my notes because it nearly killed me off laughing 😂

A tired new mum took her baby to the doctor, he asked her to put one hand on the his head and the other hand on his tummy. So she put the posed the baby with one hand on his head and his other hand on his little tummy. "Not the baby,YOU" The Dr dryly replied.

I also use this term in my daily life now that I got from here: 'off you fuck then, cuntychops.'

Oh and 'I can see your minge' pops into my head every time I go swimming and I love it!

And finally, "I'm so sorry Alan"- loved it!

LuisaF · 02/09/2023 17:27

Around 3 years ago, there was a number of threads about a mum at the school drop off where she was dropped by all her school mum friends and accused of having an affair with one if the dads. I do wonder what happened there.

more recently, the single mum and son whose CF partner was moving in along with his 21 year old CF daughter into her 2 bed house! Im awaiting the follow up posts

JudgeJ · 02/09/2023 17:27

AdobeWanKenobi · 02/09/2023 15:00

It was deleted after she had a name change fail....also responsible for Alphabet Street. Neither of which were genuine threads.

Show quote history

Oh you've ruined my day, I didn't know that Alphabet Street wasn't real, it was so entertaining!

SummerDayz47 · 02/09/2023 16:22

There was a lady who was being abused by her husband and pretty much forced into daily sex. It was a very hard read.

She came back to update how she had left him and she was sat in the garden listening to the birds sing in her new home and that she was happy. I’ve never been so happy for a complete stranger. I often think of her and hope her her birds are still singing loudly and she remains happy.

I just mentioned this too - this woman really stayed with me. I was so unsettled by what she posted. I’m so pleased she posted a happier update.

Sandunesandseashells · 02/09/2023 17:31

Just remembered the poo knife - I think the OP had grown up thinking every household kept one in the bathroom to cut up the poos too large to flush!

Ohyoudodoyou · 02/09/2023 17:32

So many as been here so long:
The elegant dinner hosts who served up Pom bears to a baffled couple
The woman who travelled and lived on buses.
All the famous ones, korean gran/Mexican house thief/ penis beaker as they were live.
The woman who went on holiday as a kid and an adult and saw the terrifying man who looked the same age each time.
The woman who worked as a doctor and whose partner broker her arm and was brutal towards her.

Never sure which are true but great reads all the same!

BabyStopCryin · 02/09/2023 17:33

It was years ago - ds was little and at a sports club so I was waiting at the back of the hall and there was a threat with someone thing about poo in a sock. I was trying not to laugh but obviously not successfully because when I looked up the Chelsea mummies and grannies were looking at me as if I’d just farted loudly (I hadn’t).

One grandma caught my eye and winked and smirked at me and I just guffawed loudly. Tears were rolling down my face (it’s unhealthy to try to hold on a laugh I think). It probably wasn’t eventhat funny…
