Glitter Bomb?

262 replies

AlexaNow · 06/05/2021 20:42

Someone sent DP a glitter / tiny penis confetti to work. He opened it at work and was covered in tiny penis confetti and glitter. It was all over him, his desk and floor. He opened it in his office and was embarrassed but is now fuming. He's contacted the company that sent it - to try and find out who sent it to him. Their email bounces back and they don't pick up the phone.

I'm wondering if this counts as criminal damage or harassment and he should report it to the police.

@HelpMeh

Although perhaps he'd have a case if he got a tiny penis in the eye. Did he?

Thanks for this thread Grin

I'm currently teaching some apprentices the law of torts and this would be an awesome case study

@AlwaysLatte

Glitter can cause blindness. Only if you stare directly at it.
You win the thread Grin

He thinks it was his ex but we can't prove it until the company who sent it confirm it was her.[/quote]
Surely telling you would be a GDPR breach?

OP, have you checked the lawn for frozen sausages?

Redglitter · 07/05/2021 00:30

He had to sit there surrounded by the penises and glitter until hometime

What was the name of the company again? Asking for a friend.

Miljea · 07/05/2021 00:42

Aw, c'mon. We're not stupid.

You refer to tiny penis confetti, not confetti in the shape of penises, don't you?

And have the staff really been 'coming over' to 'make fun' of him?

Shame it's wasn't a tube full of these. I think you could both do with some Grin

That's my Christmas gift plan sorted, everyone is going to receive tiny, glittery cock bombs.

OP I'm really sorry you don't seem to be taken seriously.
Yes, this glitter bombing incident sounds very upsetting, embarrassing for your DP and frankly traumatic.

If you let us know which area you're in, hopefully we can suggest suitable lawyers to represent you in court, and perhaps also the name of a good psychologist to work through this trauma.

Flowers for your DP. I hope that with time and support, he's able to overcome this.

Susannahmoody · 07/05/2021 01:47

Any chance of a photo, op?

Terminallysleepdeprived · 07/05/2021 05:55

Firstly, no do not call the police what sort of muppet thinks glitter classes as a police matter???!!!

Secondly gdpr means that they company who sent it cannot legally disclose who bought it.

Get over it and move on

What did your DP do to his ex?

Although I genuinely can’t see how you don’t see the funny side. I would be howling if this happened to DH (unlikely as we have been together forever so no exes lurking in the background - maybe I’ll send him one just for a laugh GrinGrinGrin)

Why would there be frozen sausages on the lawn?

AlexaNow · 07/05/2021 08:17

The one DP got was from a company called postal pranks U.K. There's no point trying to contact them, they don't pick up the phone and their email address bounces back.

I almost never genuinely ‘LOL’ at anything on MN, but this has amused me no end.

Your DP does sound rather humourless. (Is that because he’s self-conscious about his minuscule cock? Grin)

@AlexaNow

I imagine it causes animals to dig up your grass once the sausages thaw. Or just makes an awful smell. They push in easily because they're frozen but I've they've thawed you can't get them out the same way.

Once, not I've

CandyLeBonBon · 07/05/2021 08:53

Well this cheered up my morning!

CommanderBurnham · 07/05/2021 09:04

Ok I get that you're angry. It's rude and infantile. The only thing you can do is take the moral high ground and do nothing as it makes you just as bad as them.

BUT. What I really want to know is what did your DH do to warrant such effort and expense??

whiteshark · 07/05/2021 09:27

What an amazing thread.
I really NEED to know what your DP has done to piss off his ex so much.!

DollyDan · 07/05/2021 09:42

May or may not have ordered a glittery cock surprise for a well deserving clean freak twat Grin
