I'm fucking livid. Oh's 'D'gm came round yesterday, we've recently moved house and they both tidied and organised whilst I was out (really appreciated it) just gone to look for my council tax letter to send off along with a few other important documents and I can't find them anywhere. Checked in the bin and all of my bank statements, hospital letters, receipts for recently bought items I needed to keep have been shredded. No sign of anything else so I'm assuming they were also shredded and are in the bin outside! Would you go round to a family members house and bin their important documents?! I've never been so angry in my life. Angry

Wow !

YANBU (obviously).

Tricky with family, but I'd insist that any heavy lifting that needs to be done to replace paperwork is done by your DHs GM (if I read right).

Of course, she won't be able to (unless you deal with some really dodgy organisations Smile) which makes it even worse.

(Part of me wonders what the legal position would be, if it were not family but - say - a hired cleaner. I suspect you would have a potential claim for a couple of hundred quid to reinstate your loss).

On a practical note, this is why going online for as much as possible is the way of the future. That and scanning what remains. (We do this as MrsLHs eyesight is poor, so using tech to read letters is a thing).

hats 😂😂😂

Martin: cunt piss tits shit dick fuck arse twat bugger bollocks wank.

I do love a good swear. I thought about chucking bloody in as well but even my 60 year old mother doesn't consider that swearing anymore!

MartinJD · 30/07/2017 17:10

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius: Au contraire. At no point have I told all MN users to stop swearing.I merely asked the poster if they would mind trying not to be vulgar . There is a key difference here, although subtle, which you and certain other users may have missed.

Cheers!
MJD

Willow2017 · 30/07/2017 17:10

Yes I suspect there isn't much on the telly box just now. Needs something to occupy themselves with.

Stop signing your posts Martin it's pretty juvenile attention seeking behaviour for someone with such honed adult sensibilities. And btw we are not in a pub.

GinIsIn · 30/07/2017 17:16

Fuck's sake, Martin! Vulgarity has its place, and its place is mumsnet. No one likes a smug cunt.... Grin

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 30/07/2017 17:17

Martin isn't it a little vulgar to discuss your feelings about your dick on a public forum?

Jammydodger81 · 30/07/2017 17:18

Well I do mind Martin, as my post before yours clearly demonstrates Grin

The only thing that could be considered 'vulgar' about my post is the coarse language; if you're not telling all mumsnetters not to swear could you please let me know why I am the exception?

RortyCrankle · 30/07/2017 17:19

Oh tut won't you think of poor Martin's eyes reading such language. He's obviously a fucking snowflake not destined to survive the rough and tumble of AIBU.

Netmums is a glittery, swear-free forum which is --> that way.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 30/07/2017 17:22

Martin is talking about his dick on another thread.

RortyCrankle · 30/07/2017 17:23

Oh and OP, I would be incandescent with rage - you need retribution - go on a shredding spree.

A clue - you can shred gold - I once shredded a sovereign and the top of the gold chain I was wearing some years ago. Fortunately stopped before I choked myself.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 30/07/2017 17:24

@MartinJD - telling people to avoid the vulgarity is no different to telling them not to swear. You are still doing the very bad mannered thing of expecting a long-established group to change its ways to suit YOUR sensibilities.

I also note you haven't answered the point that one cannot 'accidentally' go through another person's filing, that had been safely put away, and 'accidentally' shred it. Opening someone's file drawers, going through them, removing documents and shredding them are ALL deliberate acts.

Accidental is when an important document is left in a pile of trivial ones, and is gathered up by mistake and shredded. That is not what happened here.

Jammydodger81 · 30/07/2017 17:24

Saskia - maybe that's what MJD stands for.

Massive Judgmental Dick

Oh dear, do you reckon he's the sort to send unsolicited dick pics to women?

winglesspegasus · 30/07/2017 17:26

i would be spitting bullets
no one touches paperwork
take a hammer to the shredder for starters
i use my staffy pup as a shredder shes very good at it{grin}

and martin seriously go fuck yourself

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 30/07/2017 17:28

"Oh dear, do you reckon he's the sort to send unsolicited dick pics to women?"

He says not, @RortyCrankle. He is proud of it though.

I note he says 'would of'. I judged.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 30/07/2017 17:30

Jammy I think you're on to something there.

Rorty apparently he doesn't send dick pics but he is happy with it. Which suggests Jammy is right Grin

Oops, there I am being vulgar again.

FanwankTheAbsurd · 30/07/2017 17:30

Oh Martin, you're right. My whole life until this point has obviously been a waste, a giant mass of crass rudeness. I am suitably chastised and will, from this moment on, speak nothing without simpering, whilst wearing a cutesy pinkie and baking wholesome treats for my family. #Blessed.

ODFOD Grin

Aw Fuckit, there just no hope for me....save yourselves...

LurkingHusband · 30/07/2017 17:32
MartinJD · 30/07/2017 17:35

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius: Not correct i'm afraid. The indelicacy of a reply be that vulgar or not doesn't mean it contains swearing. The two things are not the same. Smile

Best,
MJD.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 30/07/2017 17:41

Oh Martin, Martin, Martin, writing best instead of cheers is not an improvement. And admit it, you talked about your dick in a public place, which would be fine if you weren't prattling on about vulgarity in the very same place.

madja · 30/07/2017 17:49

I fucking called you "hun" didn't I? Cunt.

See, now I've pissed myself. Thanks Martin the MJD. Don't let the door hit you on your way out mate.
Seriously, who comes into mumsnet and starts telling people they are doing it all wrong. A bloke, that's whoHmm

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 30/07/2017 17:50

I am not saying that vulgarity and swearing are synonymous, @MartinJD - I am saying it makes no difference to the fact that it is vulgar and rude of YOU to expect MN and MNers to change to suit your delicate sensibilities.

And you STILL haven't explained how anyone can accidentally open a file drawer, accidentally rummage through the contents, accidentally take some papers out and accidentally shred them!!

mateysmum · 30/07/2017 17:55

MartinJD

Please don't come here and mansplain to us. Your posts are patronising, smug and insulting. Don't try and explain what a forum is to us or argue about what constitutes vulgarity. We understand you very well!

You're just not getting the mumsnet ambience are you.

Toysaurus · 30/07/2017 17:57

I've never needed an update before but I have to know what the fuck possessed someone to do this. Why were they shredded? Just why??

GinIsIn · 30/07/2017 17:57

I should imagine Martin is proud of his dick as, based on his attitude, it's his sole companion....
