Why have I ordered these?!

Last night I had a drink for the first time this year.

I've woken up to discover I've ordered a pair of white cotton gloves. Why?! Why have I ordered these?!

For hand cream - you sleep in them and it helps your hands to absorb it and you will have beautiful hands forever!

(But some of the other answers are much more fun!)

You subconsciously wish to be a butler.

Last night you decided on a career change, quit your job and is going to be a mime artist?

Ninkanink · 20/02/2021 11:22

@Champagneforeveryone I love that it fit you! And that you had such a great occasion to wear it to!

Are you going raving?

Why have I ordered these?!

To take Barbara Cartland's advice and in case you have to touch 'it' during intimate times? She advises wearing gloves in case you have to touch your husband's penis.

NorthernChinchilla · 20/02/2021 11:33

We call them 'gincidents', as in I'd drunk too much of it and now ordered some more and possibly some insoles, bathbombs and other random shit

PeterPandemic · 20/02/2021 11:45

It's probably because your dry skin hands annoyed Drunk You, although someone on here did have microfiber gloves for dusting in their lockdown must-buys so perhaps it was that?

BrandyTrap · 20/02/2021 11:46

You've all made me laugh!

@Champagneforeveryone I completely misread your first post as you having ordered a three piece suite! Wasn't sure where you were going with your Greek tailor comment.

@Moonflower12 I'm surprised Barbara acknowledged the existence of such things as penises (or should that be penii?!).

Have you got a Zoom fancy dress party coming up?

Why have I ordered these?!
TheyKnewIWasTrouble · 20/02/2021 12:05

There's a Hermes parcel arriving between 12 and 4. I don't think I've ordered anything...

IEat · 20/02/2021 12:37

Drunk buying , little better than drunk sexting your partners sibling 🤣🤣🤣

Bralessandfree · 20/02/2021 16:16

I joined an online dating agency after a few too many and didn't know until a few days later when £100 came out of my account.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 20/02/2021 16:30

Taking up mime artistry?

Whatsnewpussyhat · 20/02/2021 16:33

I also read Champagne's post as 3 piece suite thinking you'd ordered a couch which then confused me for a second when you said it fit perfectly 😂

caramac04 · 20/02/2021 16:35

I’m having a drink tonight, what a great excuse to order a roomba. I bloody love gadgets to my poor DH’s despair.
I’d like a pair of knee high boots too.

WantChewbaccaForGood · 20/02/2021 17:38

Clearly because you are an elegant laydee

@Bubbles1st

Check your internet search history.

It will either be
-how to treat dry hands
-big break memorabilia
-how to get a diamond when you have little money
-easy circus acts on a budget

I know someone who ordered an expensive pilates machine from QVC.

This huge parcel turned up, she was totally bemused, rang QVC, and they confirmed that she had ordered it, it was one of their special offer things that start at midnight.

Drunk shopping is always funny when it's someone else. 🤣

Handling old silver coins/antiques

I bought a pair of cashmere / merino socks on Prime. Forgot until they pitched up this afternoon. Very warm, though.

Ghostlyglow · 20/02/2021 19:01

I had one of those something for you cards waiting when I got back from my walk today. No idea what it was until I looked at my purchases list on ebay 😁
