Just received horrible text

Hi everyone I'm new here. About 30 minutes ago my phone pinged with a big ranty, sweary text. I was very confused as the sender is a lady I'm friendly with through the choir we both attend and I don't have an awful lot to do with her other than church and guide association fundraising.
The text was appalling, the phrase "I hope you rot in hell you rancid c**t" was particularly horrible.
Then another text came through with profuse apologies as it wasn't intended for me (thank goodness).
My AIBU is this woman is allegedly a committed Christian with a big community presence yet she's just displayed some very unChristian behaviour, I'm not sure whether to tell anyone about this in RL. She can be quite demanding and sanctimonious and I feel incredibly sorry for the intended recipient.
Sorry for the rambling, it's been quite upsetting.

Cool story bro

Definitely ask her if she is ok. Firstly, you’ll come across as caring. Secondly, she might divulge juicy info!

There are so many complex possibilities for a text like that.

If you knew the recipient, you might even think she was being restrained. Maybe he/she is an abuser from her past? Maybe an 'other woman' etc.

I would have felt the same shock as you, even when it's not directed at you, words can be disturbing.

Actually according to Cambridge University Researchers this might suggest she is more honest as a person because she swears.

Fucking hell! You could trust most of us on here with the fucking crown jewels!

You do know that Christians don't profess to be perfect?

TornFromTheInside · 19/07/2018 20:04

When Schadenfreude says 'the crown jewels' she's talking bollocks!

Some of the most repugnant people I've met have been so called "religious" people.

RhythmStix · 20/07/2018 17:44

Listen. Plenty of religious people swear - it's only words, right? I'm a Christian and I swear all the fucking time. Don't get your habit in a twist !

The phrase 'rancid cunt' is truly excellent and I for one intend to absorb it into my daily vocab forthwith. Grin

RhythmStix · 20/07/2018 17:46

Anyway it's nice that you registered specifically to air this genuine grievance, OP. Welcome Wink. Remember to stoop when necessary.

Did Jesus whip the traders in the temple while calling them a rancid cunt?

'I hope you rot in hell you rancid c**t'

Sorry but I would judge. Who uses that sort of phrase. Just awful. I would genuinely struggle to be friendly with someone who could write that. And trust me, I'm no angel. But it would never cross my mind to send something like that. I would feel uncomfortable too and probably try and stop the friendship

Reply with "God's blessings to you" or "Sisters in Christ" to make her feel marginally guilty then laugh to yourself and forget it x

SomeKnobend · 20/07/2018 18:02

You could become friends. You rancid cunt is a great nickname for a close friend - with the hilarious backstory. I might just adopt it for all my friends actually.

JovialNickname · 20/07/2018 18:11

Can I be the first to change my username to RancidCunt please?

JovialNickname · 20/07/2018 18:13

Someknobend - yes you could make DRC a new way to refer to wayward friends on mumsnet!

SomeKnobend · 20/07/2018 18:39

Hahaha. Grin Ah I've found my people! Thank you, rancid cunts!
