My dh works in a large company and is the assistant manager of a small team (10ish people), and he has been signed off sick all week as he has tonsillitis.

One of the women on the team sent him a photo of a box of doughnuts saying- look what you're missing out on.

And then saying how much she misses him in work and that it's so quiet without him and he needs to hurry back etc.

Aibu to not like this?

L8 - I know it was. So was mine. I wouldnt seriously call anyone a paranoid mess!

AmIthatWintry · 15/02/2014 19:46

Ah Sadbody, I didn't say you said singles were sad. It was an inference. We wouldn't understand, you said, because we weren't in a relationship. I'm sure I didn't imagine your post saying that.

And I am a Scot, we say wee wummin. Engage or don't , I don't really give a fuck. I am really not aggressive, but i really can't be arsed by all the possessive types that think engaging with their husbands/boyfriends mean that you are after them.

And if my OH was adult enough to have friendly relationships with the opposite sex, well I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Some of you on here are so insecure, you are laughable.

I8toys · 15/02/2014 19:56

It's been fun but real life is calling. Going to get me some donuts for OH`s eclair.

sadbodyblue · 15/02/2014 20:25

I really wouldn't have an issue with those texts. There are several between myself and other blokes at work of a similar nature. It's just friendly banter.
Some people are overly paranoid.

AmIthatWintry · 15/02/2014 20:54

Yes, and I have had a couple of glasses of wine, so am spoiling for a fight , so I am hiding this thread before I hammer the fuck into some smug coupled up arse who hasn't a clue how real life is lived Grin

Mishmashfamily · 15/02/2014 21:04

Pha ha ha ha AmI put the drink down, it might be the reason your single ! Wink

The doughnuts I wouldn't be arsed about, the rest of the stuff I'd think she was desperate .

I trust dp, he will talk to any fucker!

A work colleague was sending my friends dp snapchat messages that were supposed to be for some one else, by 'accident'

Desperate

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 21:06

You are aggressive AmIthatWintry.

You may not be young, but you're last post is extremely immature. I think you may be the one who needs to grow up.

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 21:06

*your last post

Silly typo...

hmm you could have text back saying apart from being ill he is having a lovely time with his wife (and kids if you have them) perhaps she doesn't know he is married it does sound i bit ?????

SanityClause · 15/02/2014 21:37

OP? OP?

I think they've gone.

Stripyhoglets · 15/02/2014 21:41

The fact she is a work colleague and was thinking of your DH enough to 1. Send the texts about the doughnuts and 2. Think the contents of the second text are in anyway appropriate to send to a married colleague, mean that you are quite right to be annoyed. I am surprised by how many people think it's ok when this sort of texting can lead to boundary blurring and the situations often arising on the relationships board where what has started out as "friends" often leads to more as people get closer. I've seen this happen a few times in the work place and all if it could be said to have started innocently at first, it didn't end up that way though.

sadbodyblue · 15/02/2014 21:42

hey AmI you got deleted well done and welcome to mumsnet.

just an aside,,, cunt is a step too far pet.

more tea/coffee and know your limits. Grin

PiperRose · 15/02/2014 21:45

Just an aside, I find your use of 'love' and 'pet' just as offensive as the word 'cunt'.

hickorychicken · 15/02/2014 21:46

I think its worse Grin

At least cunt is direct haha Grin

AmIthatWintry · 15/02/2014 21:46

OOH thank you Highlanderman.. So I am immature. I am really not

What this thread has shown me that we need to have compassion for the men that are instrinsically linked to women and how this tranlates into how men can be judged.

Oh #FFS

Pathetic

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 21:46

Aye, you might piperrose,

MNHQ doesn't.

AmIthatWintry · 15/02/2014 21:50

sad bodyblue I have been on MN for years, cunt is really nothing. Fuckj knows why I was deletf

PiperRose · 15/02/2014 21:52

hickory Grin

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 21:53

You've been on mumsnet for years but don't know why you were deleted?

Maybe you should refresh you memory of the talk guidelines

Calling someone a cunt isn't really in the spirit of the site.

mercibucket · 15/02/2014 21:54

oh no
cunt is very standard on mumsnet as a term of abuse
