I met a guy for a date and really liked him.
We fell out. Because I left a card through his letterbox which he said endangered his vulnerable clients. Obviously i found this offensive and utterly ridiculous. I'm sure his postman violates his mailbox often!
He keeps messaging me to say 'thanks for the lovely book you sent me but I don't want to go out with you'
And other patronising shit .
I am full of RAGE.

Because he acts like I am sending him presents to win him back when he is obviously a vain plonker!!
And breathe

Sorry OPSmile

Just leave it (and him). It doesn't sound like a match made in heaven. I suspect he's got a wife/long-term girlfriend at home, and that's why he doesn't want stuff through the door from you.

So there may have been a lot of messages and they knew each others addresses. Lets say it was his birthday and perhaps a special big birthday and he'd mentioned future dates but was busy with family on his birthday, well it might be kind to post a birthday card. Other than that could be an error in judgement. Why not get someone to post a few more books through his letterbox just for the fun of it.

Aarghhelpplease · 18/05/2019 19:13

What was the card? a business card? A Birthday card? What please tell s and then we can see whether he WBU or not.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is what I'd post through his door. Date in Roman numerals and a nice inscription, "Don't be a plonker all your life" with a smiley face.

Another vote for married/cheating, sorry OP if you’re still alive and reading

I’m in bed recovering from surgery. I may have just burst a few stitches laughing. That has done me so much good!

Februaryblooms · 18/05/2019 19:56

Since he's blaming you for sending a book that you didn't send you should now treat his letterbox as a charity shop doorway. Empty your shelves of every unwanted book and put all of them through his letterbox GrinGrin

Oh this thread has given me the giggles, the replies are hilarious. Thanks for posting OP even though it's vague and you've now ghosted us.

NC for this.

The card I sent enclosed a copy of the Karma Sutra and a bridal magazine and contained a poem I wrote in some blood I picked up from the butcher:

Ever since we had our first date.
I felt that our meeting was fate.
You will give me the rage
If you don’t turn the page
By the way, it’s not Sharon, it’s Kate.

Notthetoothfairy · 18/05/2019 20:58

Joke, btw ;-)

SteveTheSpiderPlant · 18/05/2019 21:08

I am still none the wiser.... I am however ever disappointed that I have never had a thank you card after a one night stand.

MissChananderlerbong · 18/05/2019 21:15

The replies on this thread😂 Who ever said this thread has more inconsistencies than a friends flash back is a genius! (I wasnt paying enough attention to reading this thread as I have Eurovision on)

Keggi · 18/05/2019 21:26

😂😂😂 best response

Uh... I could send you one Steve, if you’re always that funny

browneyes77 · 18/05/2019 21:33

So as I understand it:-

You went on a date.
Sent some texts back and forth
You sent him some kind of card

Er yeah that’s it.

Oh and also he’s got mad and accused you of sending books and upsetting vulnerable clients?

So questions:

  1. What was the card all about? (Birthday? Thank you? Sorry you’re leaving? What was the card for?)

  2. Who and what are these vulnerable clients and how did they get into his house? Are they squatting there or did he invite them? In what way does he believe they’re being upset? I’m lost on this bit entirely.

I’m ‘fused Confused

browneyes77 · 18/05/2019 21:35

To ask do you take your phone in the bathroom with you when you know you are having a poo?

Best thread derailment ever GrinGrin

DoxxedFox · 18/05/2019 21:36

A guy once shook my friend’s hand after a one night stand. I’ve never had a card either.

TigerTooth · 18/05/2019 22:11

Send him some money?

BlackcurrantJamontoast · 18/05/2019 22:13

A guy once shook my friend’s hand after a one night stand.

did he wash it first?

GoldenBee · 18/05/2019 22:47

Perhaps he lives with a partner/wife and he cheats on her and your card risked outing his date with you

FilledSoda · 18/05/2019 22:56

He lives with his clients ?
