Tights?

[Annasfield]

Right, I'm aware that I started a thread on Friday with a similar title, but I have found this a little odd!

Its Saturday night, I'm sat at home and about 20 mins ago I heard the letter box go. I was intrigued so went to investigate and to cut a long story short someone has posted a pair of tights through.

I don't know if someone has the wrong address, but I'm sure they didn't mean to deliver to our immediate neighbours. I can't imagine either of them wearing purple zig zag tights.

I am confused...................

[Michael Palaeologus]

Are they the correct size?

[Annasfield]

No :-S

[Nero]

Hilarious! When I was growing up, we had a man called the 'coffee man' who would bring my nana lots of Nescafe from dodgy provenance. One day, nana had knickers (bloomers) blowing on the line when the coffee man came. After he'd gone she noticed that clothes pegs had been attached to the crotch areas of all her undies, which she found hilarious. Ah, childhood memories.....Nero

[Michael Palaeologus]

Well, perhaps that they are not the correct size suggests that it is a random event rather someone who is specifically focused on you.

[Annasfield]

Oh, that hadn't even occurred to me. I did think it was very random though...

[dulwichmum]

Had somebody been wearing them or were they new?

[Annasfield]

New - still in the packet. From Primark. A nice shade of plum, with a zig zag pattern.

[dulwichmum]

OHMYGOD! Primark? How very dare they. The could at least have gotten some nice nude ones from M&S. I would take this as a personal slight, get myself a dangerous dog and notify the local constabulary that there are perverse folk about! PLUM WITH ZIG ZAGS? Really, don't take any chances. This individual is sick.

[East Dulwich Angst]

Maybe they've been posted by someone that would like to see you wearing them out & about in Dulwich ;-)

[Annasfield]

You'd certainly recognise them if I did!

My mate texted his girlfriend the other day to "Get here at 5pm, strip, go lie on the bed."

Least, he THOUGHT he had texted his girlfriend.

His girlfriend's name is one letter out from his line manager.

Yup.

I know.

How we laffed.

So - plum tights from Primark? Was there a receipt even? Do you know your neighbours to ask them about it? Are they reading THIS? ho ho

Another mate has two letter boxes in his door. One says "Letters " and the other says "Junk Mail including Pizza leaflets" beneath which is the recycling box. And the kids always kindly put the pizza leaflets in that one.

[Annasfield]

No receipt - nothing. The thing is, had they have been delivered at 4pm on a Saturday still in a bag, then I'd probably thought nothing of it.

As it was Saturday night, I was home alone and clearly indoors. The tv was on in the front room, so who ever delivered them would have know I was there. It just spooked me at the time.

Now I find it funny...

That said, they could have just got the wrong street. When myself and the housemate first moved in we had a rather drunken night out and decided to get a cab home. We directed the cabbie and after a lot of disagreement between myself and my friend we decided on a road where we thought we lived. We pulled up outside, paid the cab driver and headed toward the front door only to realise "we don't live". Hmmm - I do occasionally dye my hair blonde to match my brain...

I vaguely remember getting some tights through the door a few years ago (not primark). Presumably it is a promotional tool as once you have seen the fantastic quality and design you will rush off to Primarni and buy several more pairs.

[nancysmum]

my partner is great at lateral thinking and has given me an explanation to this with is - to me, very plausable. he thinks that someone who lives near you was probably shopping and dropped the tights. then someone else saw them outside your house, thought they were most prob yours and put them through the letter box!

[Annasfield]

Maybe......

However, the plot thickens! Our next door neighbour stopped my housemate as she left the house this morning. She asked her if she'd like some black tights? :-S (We really don't know her that well, only to say hello to really)

[KalamityKel]

mayb she's had a special delivery too and was trying to test the water to c if she's going mad or not...

[Keef]

Did your housemate ask her if she'd had some put through the door? If she didn't, I want to know why not, we all need to know God Damn it!

[lozzyloz]

Perhaps you have a tights fetishist living nearby and the different tights are a secret code.

Plum with zig zags = are you up for a crazy time this Xmas

Black tights = do you like dressing up in nurses uniforms

Only guessing no personal experience.

[EDOldie]

Perhaps you didn't pay for a round last time you were in the pub and this is a sign. Bit like the Mafia and the dead fish. Or maybe it's a gang of bankrobbers who are going to frame you for a heist. Years ago the only people in east duwich who wore tights wore them over faces.

Again, only guessing, no personal experience.

[Asset]

does nobody pay attention? surely it's a promotional tool, not some tights delivering weirdo.

=============================================================================

How very DARE you! ;-) I always buy a round. In fact I always stitch myself up because I drink far too quickly and feel embarassed waiting with an empty glass.

Lozzyloz - What would flesh coloured tights signify?

Keef - I will ask tonight. You probably know who my neighbour is and thinking about it, it wouldn't surprise me if she posted them.

[Annasfield]

It would appear that we've had another mystery delivery! This time they are black.

Hmmmm.... :-S

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Professor Plum, Mrs Black - is there a theme here?

[AllforNun]

Strange , someone posted me a set of speedo's a few months back with some instructions. I stood in front of my webcam for about 15mins with them on just like they said, but nothing happened, it did all seem a bit odd at the time.
