What is the most unusual conclusion someone has drawn about you on mumsnet?

I've been reading the pages of mumsnet for years now. I'm not sure why, but I've never bothered to post until recently.

Anyway, on another post I created, I was talking about universal credit and the DWP re:inheritance. I have been the executor, the beneficiaries are the ones whose UC is now being compromised.

It was decided by another MN user that I was writing about myself, given that on another thread I had said I'd been a cleaner (or more specifically running a cleaning service of my own, as a business) for over 20 years, and therefore I won't have earned much money and would have been on UC.

At no point have I said anything about how well the job pays, where I live, who I am married to, what job they do & salary they receive etc.

I'm not the least bit bothered about what was said, but it's made me chuckle as to how people draw conclusions like it.

What stand-out comment do you remember reading from one MN user to another, based on what one person had concluded in their mind?

I once said something in support of men continuing to support their families in the event of a marriage breakup. From the point of view that if I left my marriage, I would want my kids to have a comfortable home and lifestyle...therefore if I were the high earner, I would subsidise the resident parent to ensure the kids had a similar lifestyle with each of us.

I got a torrent of abuse accusing me of being a bitter, grabby ex wife who expects my ex to subsidise my lifestyle to the detriment of my ex's new wife.

Nope 👎 I am happily married, and I am the higher earner.

Had a few but weirdly the only one that irritated me was when I said something about how much my mum cleaned when I was young compared to me now and how she did a lot of tidying in the evening and cleaned the floor on her hands and knees at the weekend and two mners had a kind of bitchy laughing talk about how some people had no lives and obviously didn’t have a job etc etc.

When posting on a thread where the OP was undecided about having children, and sharing my experience as someone who is childfree. Was accused by another poster of having a malevolent agenda, and that I must have only joined MN to try and discourage women from having children. Honestly the most bonkers thing I've ever come across on here, having been around off and on for over a decade.

Edited to correct typo.

I was accused of being paid by Duchess of Sussex, because I spoke up about the irrational personal attacks on the thread. 😂
