Threads that have stayed with you

[Cinnamonkie]

What threads have you seen on here that have lodged themselves into your brain?

For me it's the lady who was gifted a periscope by her dh which was completely random and hilarious.

Also the lady who upset a crow and never came back! Assumed she and her dog were eaten by the crows.

HNRTFT but Pamela from Ireland..I think about her and her family every day.💕

I remember a thread from a very ill lady. She lived abroad and separated from her partner, but he had a new partner and they all lived together i think. She was very ill and didnt have long left. Name was 5yearsleft or something like that. I wonder how she is. Her partner was awful to her.

The foster carer who looked after the drug addicted newborn.

A lady with Lou in her user name. Her husband left her for a colleague and took the chutney with him. All kinds of lying and gaslighting going on from him.

It turned out she was pregnant with a much wanted baby and went on to have a little boy. Would be a good few years ago now, but I often wonder if they are both OK.

Brian from Hull and his offer of a yoni massage for the women of Mumsnet. Absolutely hilarious responses - “My Yoni says Noni” and a full thread

Tell me a random embarrassing thing that happened to you when you were a kid - www.mumsnet.com/talk/mumsnet_classics/4683331-tell-me-a-random-embarrassing-thing-that-happened-to-you-when-you-were-a-kid

The last paragraph - that still makes me chuckle. I think the lady was heavily pregnant and was getting her toddler ready to swim. As she walked out of the changing rooms into the pool area her husband pointed at her and yelled out, “Julie! Your minge!”
She forgotten to put her bikini bottoms on and couldn’t see down there anyway.

somebody else mentioned the lady who poured Johnson’s baby shampoo in her eyes to see if it really was tear free. That got mentioned a while ago and the poster who did the shampoo pouring actually came onto that thread and said it was her who did it. I think she was pretty embarrassed to admit it, but she was a good sport.

The lady who was in a coercive and controlling relationship, pregnant with yet another baby that her husband had pushed for, she wasn’t allowed in some of the rooms of their house. Multiple threads and she ended up leaving him with tons and tons of support from lovely MNers
who were there for her and supported her as the scales fell from her eyes, without all constantly pushing her into something she didn’t want. He sounded like one of the worst woke-bro nicey nicey to his mates and colleagues guys who was utterly controlling, hypocritical and horrendous at home. MN at its best.

also, the GRAMMER POLICE.

The woman who was posting on here asking if she should go to A&E because her symptoms suggested Sepsis and afew posters told her she cant be that ill if she is posting online and not to waste A&E time

She didnt go to the hospital that night as advised on here and she passed away afew days later

The woman who got asked by another mum from the school WhatsApp (but who she didn't know in person) not to include pringles in her son's packed lunch because her own son was jealous.

Softzilla - Last thing I recall was that it had all got a bit sinister and the police were involved.

Someone is having sex in my hedge.

Snapped and farted.

There was a woman who washed her mooncup by holding it in the toilet and flushing it because the water used to flush was clean. Makes me feel queasy thinking about it.

One where someone was fleeing a situation and a MNer went out to find them in the middle of the night.
Stayed with me as couldn't believe that someone would go out into the night to an unknown situation because of the say so of some words on the internet (yes it was a lovely thing to do, but come on, a bit 😮 )
Also the pigeon that got accidentally painted.
"Paul? Is that you?!" 🤣

"There is a tiny, elderly Korean lady in my garden and I want to go out" thread.

There was a relatively recent thread from a lady living in rural Japan.

She was married to a Japanese man and was pregnant, but was having real difficulties with the antenatal care available in her area - I don't think that she spoke Japanese.

She was considering coming back to the UK and didn't know what to do, one worry being that she wouldn't be allowed NHS care.

She was just within the time limit for flying but was very hesitant.

I remember giving her the details for the embassy in Tokyo and suggesting that they could advise on what would happen if she got back to the UK. When it seemed unlikely that she would leave Japan, I found the details for a British Doula in Tokyo who offers both personal support and online.

At that point, the thread disappeared.

I remember feeling how extraordinary the internet can be sometimes; I was talking to someone in rural Japan as though she were just a few streets away.

I do hope that things did work out for her - she seemed very alone.

the stables with the gate blocked by a car where the ?nephew?son? brother went out and had a teddybears picnic at the gate.

Someone is having sex in my hedge.

That was hilarious! Wasn't there a comment about someone suggesting it was badgers or foxes and the reply was that they wouldn't have asked for a finger up the bum?

@Cherryana I came on to say Birdie Friend too, I couldn't wait for each instalment!

There was a glorious one where the OP had made
some fat balls for the birds with her kids and her husband thought they were a snack and ate them.
It made me proper snort laugh and turned into a bit of a thread about stupid things partners/hpus mates had done.

Lady who started a thread AIBU not to return fur coat to friend that I borrowed years ago. Turned out that the original coat had been lost and the current one was a replacement. It was one of the first threads that I enjoyed.

happylandspaceman always comes to mind when this question is asked.

Threads by a lady with Coats in her username.

Started off wondering if her husband was cheating then turned into an amazingly cool as a cucumber account of how she got all her ducks in a row and left him. Throughout there was always the possibility she would be discovered and he would be volatile.
.
I followed it live and hope she has a lovely life now, she deserves to. I often think about her, what a character.

Her posts could be made into a how to get your ducks in a row instruction booklet.

The Pamela threads were strange though. People were posting as if they were her husband but they apparently weren't her husband but they wrote exactly the same. Then the real husband can't along within minutes of the fake husband, to say the other one was fake, all whilst he had just lost his wife??? And Pamela and her husband wrote very similarly too, as did others on the thread who said they were Pamela friends. It was all very odd.

Please could someone link to the foster carer/premmie baby story? I can’t seem to find in classics.

The one where the OP was pregnant with twins. She felt the movement had changed and wanted reassurance that it was fine. Everyone persuaded her to go and get checked and turned out one of the babies had died. The other died a few days later.

Another one where the OP posted a long rant about the new owners of her house being there before she had moved out. She even posted about stopping to have lunch and didn’t seem to realise it was no longer her house so she should have already moved out.

Finally, there was a poster in her 60s maybe whose husband left her. She posted a few times about how it came out of the blue and will he change his mind. In each thread it turned out he had wanted her to return to work for years, they only holidayed in places she wanted and their social life was based around her. It was sad because she was blindsided but the signs were there for a long time, and even after posters told her, she refused to see it. I wonder how she’s doing.

I think she created a follow up thread, they got back together, I don't remember the mention of another woman though
