I am in pain from laughing.....as well as existential pain....it's like Beckett with a Kiss-Me-Quick hat on......

Laughed so much at the one about having the class stuffed animal for the weekend and all the activities and diary entries. Still telling friends about this one, but no idea on the link.

Kasterborous · 12/08/2013 21:12

Sorry still haven't figured out how to do copy and links but please could we have this one:

To have wanted to say 'grow up' to this woman it's in AIBU

Bizarre Man in The Asda: Very good natured Op posts about an incident in the well-known supermarket but thread becomes ridiculous and hilarious due to use of the word 'the'.

Would love to see this in classics, although it has made me cry many times over the last couple of days.

There's been a thread recently on DOTD about Quotes that give you goosebumps.
Please add to classics.

TiggyD · 10/10/2013 19:37

How was the wank mitten thread missed?!

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/977907-to-expect-good-wanking-etiquette?pg=1

Sometimes just one post makes a classic:

"My friend's Mum got so sick of him leaving deposits everywhere as a teenager that she knitted (yes, knitted) him a little mitten to mop up after himself. She then washed it weekly and put it on his bed all nicely ironed. This is no joke. It did eradicate the wanky tissues scenario, though."

TheNaughtySausage · 27/11/2013 09:02

Please could the "what is your job and how much do you earn" thread in chat go in to classics? It's so informative.

FindusCrispyShitCakes · 18/12/2013 05:01

I'd like to nominate the "things you can't say on mumsnet" thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1940734-Things-youd-love-to-say-on-Mumsnet-but-cant?pg=2 in _Chat

KayleeFrye · 17/02/2014 19:25

Is this the right place to say please can this and its followon thread here be remembered forever as mumsnet classics. It's been the best parking thread ever!

ExitPursuedTheRoyalPrude · 17/02/2014 19:27

Who knew there was a thread for nominating Classics!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 18/02/2014 01:39

I've spent 2 hours or so reading early links on here before I realised how long ago it started!

I thought HQ had come up with a subtle yet inspired way to indoctrinate newbies Grin

I second Kaylee's nomination, assuming it's Penguin Bollards.

The freeman thread

Surely it's worthy of classics. Completely different from anything else there but shows a different side of MN and it's such an interest thread it should be read by more people.

And it is actually very funny when the woo people try and agree their points as well as being very educational.

aviator · 23/02/2015 00:24

I think this one

Gets me every time. I have it in my watch list and read it when I need a laugh.

MrsGideon · 17/06/2015 17:59

I haven't RTFBTT so I don't know if this has already been nominated, but I have spent the whole afternoon crying at my desk over this:
