To want a pet Numtum?

[ObviouslyOblivious]

They are very cute. I'm sure that if they have all their vaccinations and are house trained they'd make great pets.

Just remember not to get them wet or feed them after midnight

DS wants the black one. Where's the bloody merchandise when you need it?!

Yabu. Stupid furry little shits would probably steal things. I have irrational hatred towards them. :)

I'd probably need to get it neutered too right? And possibly a microchip.

Yanbu, but would probably follow itsatrap's advice just to be on the safe side.

I read this as pet nethun :o

Well I do wonder what they would eat. They look like carnivores, but maybe just insects, like racoons?

I read that as you wanted a pet Netmum

Nethuns bite I reckon.

I read it as pet Nethun too

Netmum here too

No they might kill you with kindness though

I read it as Netmum too. Do they have numbers on thier tummies then?

and the lol'ing noises they make might drive you demented

er , what are they?

I read it as Nethun too. I've no idea what a Numtum is...

Numtums

erm, ok

(backs out of conversation in a worried fashion)

nethun

OP I'm holding you personally responsible for the fucking horrendously annoying theme tune that will now be stuck in my head all day. Grr..

Are we all conditioned to think of netmums as pets? Why did so many of us read this wrong? Or is it because the idea of a pet numtum is bonkers?

YABU to be so rude and patronising about netmums. They are not animals.
(I realise this wasn't your question but this is my answer)

YABU for wanting a numtum as a pet.

Netmum?

Yep I miss read it to and assumed the OP wanted to wrap herself in something sparkly pastel and animated

oblivious that's perfect!
