My husband donated cat shit

Just thought I would share the horror I went through yesterday!!

A local volunteer requested donations of toiletries for patients at staff at the local hospital, to be dropped off at their home. I went through all the make up drawers etc and put a small bag together with unused travel shampoos, hand creams etc. Then cleaned the bathroom, and upstairs bins etc. I'm sure you can see where this is going!!!

My husband was off to the supermarket so I asked him to drop off the donations and it was about 2 hours later when I found the bag of donations!!

I flushed hot and cold in actual horror of thinking imagining this lovely family of volunteers having to go through a bag of our rubbish including used cat litter, and literally sped through town imagining the social media post that was probably already being written about the "Shame and disgust of humanity - who would do such a thing?!"

Fortunately, it was still out the front of their house so I was able to sneak up and swap for a perfectly normal amount of toiletries. But then I was afraid then that I would be caught on CCTV stealing a bag of donations aka, cat shit.

When I saw it I was that fucking surprised how clearly it looked like actual waste I took a picture for DH. Went home and had a very large G&T to calm my nerves Gin

I haven't said anything to the volunteers because I don't want to out my husband as being a total fucking moron on our local social media. So Mumsnet it is!

Fucking hell.

Grin Grin Grin I had a bit of an embarrassed hot and cold flash for you there OP until I got to the bit where you were able to 'steal' it back!

rookiemere · 10/04/2020 10:19

Oh that is hilarious GrinGrin

AntiSocialDistancer · 10/04/2020 10:19

It hit me a bit later when I was speaking to DH about what the fuck he was thinking - he declared "I saw a toothbrush in it so thought it was the right bag" ... - I realised the volunteers might some how have thought we were donating our old used empty toiletries and hammered toothbrushes in with a bag of literal shit as a serious attempt at a donation

Shock

Seriously could vomit just remembering how stressed I was rushing to get the bag back!

Heldupwithscaffolding · 10/04/2020 10:42

This is exactly the sort of thing my DH would do, totally oblivious! Thank God you got it back.

HyperactivePineapple · 10/04/2020 10:43

Omg! The update just adds so much to that story.

Thank you for sharing, best laugh I've had in weeks!

Meruem · 10/04/2020 10:43

Oh thank you for the laugh OP Grin
I can only begin to imagine how panicked you felt! I suspect it will be a long time before your DH lives this one down!

SugarHockeyIcedTea · 10/04/2020 10:47

There has been little to make me laugh recently OP but the visions of you sprinting to and then stealing your rubbish back has made me full on belly laugh.

That is hilarious and a great idea for neighbor's not adhering to lockdown

copycopypaste · 10/04/2020 10:56

I remember hearing a story like this on the radio. One of the listeners used to tie his dog poo in a bag to a tree on his walk, and pick it up on his way home. By the time he was on his return trip the local kids group had tied up chocolate eggs in bags for the kids to do an Easter treasure hunt. His dog poo bag had disappeared and he could only presume one of the kids had picked it up thinking it was an egg. Confused

Dog poo is forever known as puppy eggs in our house since listening to it.

Notpanickingjustyet · 10/04/2020 10:58

😂😂 thank you for sharing this. A toothbrush and cat litter. Yum!

HaudMaDug · 10/04/2020 11:47

Someone nearly accidentally donated a family members ashes to a charity shop rather than clothes.

Frownette · 10/04/2020 11:55

Oh my god Grin

Bluebooby · 10/04/2020 11:55

Lol. Well done on getting the bag back op. I'd have been so scared to be caught "stealing" from the donations!

DHW1 · 10/04/2020 12:03

Lol the thought of getting shamed for stealing a bag of used car litter made me giggle

My DD once decided that an old condom in a tree was a fairy. And I had to play along! “Look, look how beautiful she is swaying in the wind!”

Kernowgal · 10/04/2020 12:23

Postspecific that's done for me! I really needed a laugh - thank you Grin
