What I'd like to know is, where is the smell coming from - and what is the smell? And why does the writer have to apologise - what did they do? Apart from making a mess of the car

I know! And I'm a bit worried that the owner will feel lost without their to-do list. I always panic when I lose mine.

I think they're apologizing about messing up the car. Maybe that's where the smell originated?

Nice writing though!

Upon further reflection, I think a woman has written this for her male DP/DH. The to-do list, while written in the third person, is for him. He made a mess of her car and must apologize as well as getting on with the DIY. Maybe a bit sexist but fixing speakers, shelves, etc. is sort of a guy thing?

In the first person

I was thinking that too, Agnostic - but dared not mention it!

Some years ago, before we could post photos on here, I started a thread about a shopping list (which, of course, we had to describe in detail back then). I simply suggested that it looked like a woman's handwriting. A male MNer jumped onto the thread accusing me of being sexist by implying that men aren't capable of writing shopping lists. I did calmly reply to him that I simply thought the handwriting looked more like a woman's than a man's!

The car owner's name, which had to be redacted, was gender-neutral. We could of course be dealing with two women, but not two men (the tampons).

Did this person go berserk and smash up their house and now has to apologise?
Maybe they had pmt as they are buying sanpro
