Don't remember the poster but one of the first ML WTF?! moments for me was when someone posted about their MIL changing their son's diaper and kissing his penis. Ugh :/
This was The Bump but I think her name was jarbaby? I think she'd do hymen checks on her daughter? And Brandonswife, mamabrown, so many others I can't remember their name. I wonder what happened to them!
I think my first memory was when a poster on the OC board ate her boss's taco bell. I don't remember who it was or anything, but I remember it being hilarious. @misoangry, farmvillelover, elleblue do you remember this?

I was on my local board for a while, but when I came over to ML it was right when the memorial bench was happening. And while I was sad for the person who passed, the ensuing jokes about the bench were damn funny.
I only got flamed once, that I can remember. It was right after I got divorced and Mod said "well, you should have known, he wears a shirt that says 'get baked every morning'" (there was a pic in my bio with him wearing a pillsbury doughboy shirt that said that)
I cried. LOL. But of course, she was fucking right. I'd never even date anyone now who would wear such a ridiculous shirt. Ah, youth.
I got flamed for a shirt too! On my wedding month board on the knot I posted that my H wore a shirt with a drawing of a wedding couple and the words "big mistake" on it to our (very casual) rehearsal dinner. I thought it was hilarious, they thought we were monsters. That was literally my last post on that board.
I had my husband wear the "Game Over" shirt with the bride and groom on our flights to our honeymood-the flight attendant asked me about it and I told her it was our honeymoon so I had him wear it. She gave us champagne and sandwiches.
I stumbled upon P&E in 2007. My first memory was MrsRamey being PASSIONATE about her local destination wedding and being an expert on how many bottles of wine or whatever you will need for 150 people. I remember thinking "these bitches are wack" - then I stuck around (at various locations) for 7 years, lol.
- I remember Sue's sig for the longest time was of two cartoon dogs at a bar (one being a poodle), and the caption said something like, "they're all sons of bitches." Between that and the poor poodles I had her personified as a disgruntled poodle sitting at a bar for the longest time. lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers @cse1960's sigs. The gif of the little kid faceplanting on the cement while running toward the pool has always stuck with me.

I started on the knot in 2003 and was on the bump and nest as well (under a totally different name). I don't remember much because I was never a "regular" on any particular board (same story these days!) but I do remember getting flamed early on. I can't even recall what for.
I did once get good advice about a situation with my MIL and a friend (and my friend's aunt is MIL's BFF), regarding telling my close friend (or not telling her) when her x-bf passed away tragically while she was at school in another state and about to take final exams. It was lots of drama and the decision I made was not the decision MIL & friend's aunt agreed with. At the time, DH and I were engaged and tried way too hard to always keep MIL happy.
Now, I'm 10 years into marriage and know that it's a lost cause and there is no reason to go out of my way :-)

I remember that! Didn't she get an upset stomach from it too? I don't remember which poster it was either, sadly.
I just remember on Friday and Saturday night this place would be straight up insane. So much posting, so much drinking, so much snark.
I started on ML back in 2007 when we moved up to Chicago and I had no friends or family and dh was working all.the.time. I LOVED my weekend nights of vodka and diet coke and my laptop. I barely said a word, but man, that shit was fun to watch.
Oh yeah, I remember my first flaming! I was wondering if it was weird for my parents and grandma to use wedding pictures of just me and H for their Christmas cards. I was annoyed because we were going to use it for our Christmas card, and I thought it would be weird for someone to have 3 cards show up with the same picture on it.
There were some comments about how I thought they were trying to steal the show, and why would I want a wedding photo on a Christmas card anyway? I was like, "well, our Christmas cards are going to be tucked into our thank you cards, so it makes sense to have a wedding picture!" That, I learned, was a mistake.
I didn't end up doing it. lol.
No, that's weird as hell to use someone else's wedding photo on your Christmas card, even if it's your kid's wedding photo.
And sending your Christmas cards and TY cards together is a no no?
When I started lurking on the nest was about the time bringthepayne (whom I loved) was all over marrymemylove--all day, every day--for being an idiot. This was well before MMML had a kid and started breastfeeding her husband. I think BTP called her picklehead or something along those lines.

I totally remember that. I also remember that jarbaby always used to have these very well written out responses to posts within seconds of someone asking a question on the third tri board. And I can't remember how it happened, but somehow it came out that she was just googling and cutting and pasting answers.
to answer the OP, I don't even know what my first memory was. I was around in the knot newlywed days and just remember those boards were chaos.

Same for me. We moved to Georgia in 2005 and you all kept me entertained!

Oh yeahhhhh!!!!!! LOL!! I totally forgot about that.
From TK, but what ever happened to Fishy? I remember everyone worshipped her. I think she was Canadian? And would photoshop herself drinking margaritas onto like the Eiffel Tower, Mt Rushmore, etc? She was on P&E.
