Aibu to feel the absolute RAGE with this Tinder date?

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

@SleepingStandingUp brilliant, you've nailed it I'm sure Grin!

iamkahleesi · 17/05/2019 09:02

Why did you fall out? Why put a card through his door? What's the book got to do with it?

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 09:15

Janus I think "vulnerable clients" means "my wife". His wife nearly opened the sexy card the OP sent.

Claw01 · 17/05/2019 09:16

I want to know about the card too

Can I be a lone voice in the wilderness and stick up for the OP? I think she's done herself a massive favour by sending that card!

Tinder bloke wanted someone who he could easily keep separated from his life with his wife! He could have kept stringing OP along for ages, only inviting her round when his wife was away.

Now, for the price of a greetings card, she's out of it!

What sort of card? A joker?

SleepingStandingUp · 17/05/2019 09:27

A booty call card

Icandothisallday · 17/05/2019 09:28

Why is there danger to his clients?

Dexterslockedintheshedagain · 17/05/2019 09:28

Mumsnet vipers are SAVAGE.
I love it!

wichitalinemanswoman · 17/05/2019 09:36

OP what the fuck are you on about???

Likethebattle · 17/05/2019 09:40

You need to come back and spell it out!

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/05/2019 09:42

Was it a home made card with a lot of glitter in it? You should offer to pop round and hoover.

Ok Jamie a possibility but would a married man really bring back a one night stand to his own house while wife is away knowing that he’s given out where he lives??? Is anyone that Stupid?

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 09:46

Yes, yes they are. #NotAllCheatingMenAreClever

He's maybe just started using tinder, and was relying on the women he shagged to let him do the chasing. Poor bloke. Not.

Janus · 17/05/2019 09:49

Jamie, Christ how depressing! OP sounds like you had a narrow escape!

CircleofWillis · 17/05/2019 09:49

What did you fall out about OP if it wasn't the card?

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 09:56

Mumsnet Relationships is even more depressing. I've lost count of the threads in there from women who have just realised they're the Other Woman, and that's why their boyfriend only ever invites them around at pre-arranged times...

In hindsight, the signs were obvious, but at the time the women were so worried about being Glenn Close that the shitbags they were dating found it easy to shag them and simultaneously hold them off at arm's length from their real lives.

CircleofWillis · 17/05/2019 09:59

And how do you know where he lives?

LillithsFamiliar · 17/05/2019 10:03

Jamie I think you might be right. I'm now wishing Tinder etc had a tip at the top saying 'remember to hand-deliver an explicit postcard at an unexpected time to your date's house after dtd. Not only is this a polite thank you but it enables his/ her wife, husband, SO to know about your dalliance.'

Illberidingshotgun · 17/05/2019 10:03

Oh! I have obviously been single far too long, and live too boring a life, that it hadn't occurred to me that the date went so well that they went back to his afterwards! Of course.

Pizzaaddict · 17/05/2019 10:05

Are “Sharon” threads all by one woman called Sharon or is that the collective name for posters who post mad posts then never explain them?

Bouledeneige · 17/05/2019 10:07

OP's out on a date and then going to the card shop.

MyKingdomForBrie · 17/05/2019 10:07

Ohhh no I read the whole thread and still no updates!!
