WTF is this?

[TheVanguardSix]

I was putting away socks in the top drawer (DH’s) when I came across this box and opened it. Of course I did (as if I’m not going to look).

What is it and why do I not feel great about this?

It’s a tie pin.

Oh my God! Thank you!!!! I feel like such a dick!

It’s a tie pin.

. Could be a proper expensive pearl one, or could be a cheaper copy.
So... did you think it was a sex toy, or an intimate piercing ring?

You've made me laugh OP, and that's not easy on the most depressing day of the year, apparently, and I'm off to have a tooth out. Thankyou.

What did you THINK it was?....

I feel like a luxury idiot!
I thought it was a sex toy (we haven’t had sex in, I’ve forgotten how long- that’s another day’s work!).
But yes, I did wonder who’s backside it was going to see the inside of.
A tie pin. God I am a thicko. And clearly, I know nothing about ties despite all the (failed) Windsor knots I’ve done on the kids over the years!

Posh sex toy! What would you do with it?

OMG. Awesome.

Awesome thread! Thanks OP.

I wouldn't have known what it was either but if I'd found a tie pin in Dh's drawer I'd be seriously worried. He's never possessed a tie in his adult life and wears the same muddy shoes to work, weddings and funerals alike.

Well now that I know this little gem’s not taking the red eye special, I’m wondering, why it’s here in the sock drawer. DH wore a tie on our wedding day years ago and the same ‘wedding tie’ was worn at his dad’s funeral- again, years ago. So who’s gifted this tie bling?
I should put it on one of the kids’ school ties and see if DH notices (the youngest’s tie- he still wears an elastic one ).
There will be a very boring answer to this, I’m sure.

His mum and dad have probably given it to him as a present at some point, and he didn’t think to mention it as it’s so awful!

That's cheered me right up. Thanks op

this has made my very miserable day!

It looks like something his mum or dad might have passed onto him. My DH wears a tie for work and I've never seen a tie pin like that! The style of the box looks like in might be old.

This has made me laugh out loud and now I’m imagining it as a kind of fancy Prince Albert ting. Brilliant.
