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.

I think she posted again just recently

Just to say: raging temperature, shivering with the chills, resting pulse rate far higher than usual, swollen skin that's mottled or darkening over time, shallow breathing, confusion - get yourself to A&E as quickly as you can.
Despite signs on police cars, ambulances, buses and fire engines and posters all over A&E, it's not always taken seriously by hospitals but it's the only place to get help.
I've been very poorly twice (more than a week as an in-patient on a drip each time) it is serious.

Everything that happened in this thread and with the OP had me emotional.

I wondered if that was the same poster too.

I've been on mn from around 10 years and ones that stuck with me from my early days:
A woman in her 20s diagnosed with terminal cancer who had a young son. The thread was titled "to want to run away"

A woman in an abusive relationship whose husband was tracking her ovulation to try to get her pregnant. I think about her a lot.

A woman about to return to work after maternity leave and her husband refused to have anything to do with organising childcare. She had one day not covered and he refused to even discuss him taking the day off work.

The hilarious thread about the adorable toddler who slept in the dogs bed...
I remember she called the op Auntie Tantrums, perhaps someone with more resources than my reluctant and obstinate phone could find a link, please?

Not a typo! I remember at the time it was thought to be a typo but OP clarified that she had tummy issues and had indeed snapped and farted.

A poster from autumn 2021ish. She had been told by her landlord she had six months to leave as he was selling the house. Her boyfriend of 4 years invited her to move in with him and his 15 year old daughter. Her own 18 year old was about to go to university. So there was about a week to go, and either the 15 year old or the dad changed their mind, and she had a week to find somewhere else for herself, plus her 8 year old in the holidays.

I was seething reading it. It seemed that the relationship would not recover, but I want to know she was ok and found a place for her and her daughter. Plus a dog.

There was a fantastic parking one maybe a couple of years ago that went on all weekend. I think the poster lived in quite a rural location and someone had parked and gone off for a walk blocking her (and her horsebox???) in. Sounds dull in the retelling but it got more and more mysterious and complex and I ended up sitting up with a glass of wine enjoying myself tremendously as more updates came in. I think there were diagrams and everything.

Yes! Auntie Tantrums! Here it is:
Well. That went well, didnt it....... | Mumsnet

The Olivers Army threads. It was a troll who posted her son's leukaemia journey- with a load of Mumsnet cheerleaders being 'Oliver's Army'. It was all massively suspicious- he was diagnosed within about 45 minutes or admission to a&e and the story had so many holes. The hysteria was insane.

I think about chopinandchampagne quite often, and the dreadful lobster boy. Also a poster called Johnlearnstoadult (I think) and another from a few years ago called worldupsidedown - both split up with shitty husbands, I often wonder how they are doing now.

The poster this past spring who had small children and an abusive partner and was pregnant. She was leaving the partner and seemed to think she “should” have an abortion, but was extremely conflicted and couldn’t bring herself to take the pills. Eventually she took one, regretted it, and had a scan which determined that her baby’s heart was still beating. But then she was planning to have a second-trimester surgical abortion.

I felt like her resistance to having an abortion was her mind telling her that no matter what the “logical” solution was, having an abortion wasn’t a decision she could felt she could peacefully live with. It was like she was tormenting herself by trying over and over to make herself have an abortion. She didn’t update after posting that she was having the second-trimester surgical abortion, and I really wonder what she ended up doing.

I wonder if that is the one I'm thinking of? I think she was going to confront the parkers but then bottled it and was very polite and low key.

Yes, I was very invested in the saga of Twittlebee Woods. I hope she is OK now.

There was also another bizarre one where the OP bought a house with a lovely big garden to the side, and the neighbour had been hoping to acquire it for a song from the elderly lady who had owned the house before she died. He ended up sending her a series of completely bonkers 'solicitor's' letters using fake-Latin mumbo-jumbo to try to 'prove' that she was 'legally bound' to let him have it for next to nothing!

The school raffle where OP won a laptop, but the organiser told her endless lies and just kept it. I can't remember if that one was resolved or if it maybe got deleted for being outing.

An outrageous, heart-breaking one: the disgusting, vile husband who forced his wife to eat paper on which she'd poured out all of her distress (caused by him, of course) when he found it - in front of his own parents, who were visiting. One particularly sad part was the fact that his own mother urged her DIL to obey him, as she too was scared of her own son.

The water serpents and bison, the poster kept going off topic

Zombie's threads

Was that the Ford Ranger one with OP's extremely-eligible brother - and Buckaroo with Bruce Grobelaar?!

She is still here, plus she posts on Instagram.

The thread about the poor woman whose TRA “friend” insisted that the OP was intersex due to her PCOS has stayed with me. Utter captured nonsense and so upsetting for the OP.

www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4837643-pcos-and-devastated-to-be-called-intersex

plus Fluffydressinggown's mental health threads - all the support in the world couldn't save her.

OMG yes! The brother! How could I forget him! I think everyone was trying to get the Op to hook them up with him. He sounded lovely. I cried with laughter at that thread.

A quite recent one - 'AIBU to share this insane life hack?' I don't think I've laughed so much in a long time.

This one. Glad it is not just me 😂
