What has the handyman done with my nightdress?!

I can't find my nightie anywhere! Had a handyman round this morning just to address a couple of patches of damp, one of them being in my bedroom, on the wall close to the en suite.

I hang my nightie and dressing gown on the back of the en suite door every morning, and on the other side of the door I have an old evening dress that belonged to my dm.

I was rushing out this morning and didn't think about moving the clothes off the door. Came back earlier to find he's moved my dressing gown and my dm's dress over to the hooks on the bedroom door. But there's no sign of my nightie.

Im not suggesting for a minute anything dodgy has gone on but - where is it?! Did I, without thinking, put it somewhere? If so, I still can't find it!

Benefit of the doubt post incoming.......................... do you have a wash basket he might have shoved it into

Gafelix · 13/06/2023 19:48

under your pillow?

Maverickess · 13/06/2023 19:49

Under the dressing gown on the new hook? (Though I expect you've looked there!)
Under your pillow?
Dressing gown pocket? (Depending on how big the nightie is?)

NillyNoMates · 13/06/2023 19:49

Is it definitely not tucked inside the dressing gown?

When you say nightie, are we talking a negligee or a Hyacinth Bucket job?

It's not in either of those places.

I genuinely don't think anything dodgy has gone on. But that doesn't alter the fact I can't find it! One of us has done something with it - but which one of us and what?!

I'll see if I can find a pic of similar - because I'm sure you're all dying to see it :)

It's this type of thing only longer and no split. And it doesn't look anywhere near as good on me as hers does!

You're going to have to text him and ask...

Zebracrossings · 13/06/2023 19:57

Was the handyman working alone in your house in your absence?

hattyhathat · 13/06/2023 19:58

Why are you so sure he hasn't got it?

2 of my dc (25 and 18) were here but one was working and one was sleeping (naming no names).

Because he's known and used regularly by my friend. And just - why?!

Are you a similar size as the handyman?

PinkButtercups · 13/06/2023 20:08

He's a Jack of all trades. He's borrowed it for his gig later.

Jokes aside, you probably just misplaced it's maybe the wardrobe? Under the bed?

And? Your friend might not have as nice nightwear as you

Took it home to wank onto.

Years and years ago, like 30 odd when I was a teenager, I remember watching some kind of complaints programme/ watchdog type TV. A woman had secretly filmed her workman going through her laundry basket and sniffing her used underwear. I was absolutely horrified as I'd never been exposed to men's depravity. I've never forgotten that clip. Now, however, it's the first thing I thought of and I'd bet my life this guys a sniffer.

People wear these to sleep? Are they not horribly sweaty?

Sugarplum97 · 13/06/2023 20:20

I'd say bye bye to that nightie, its now a handyman cum rag!

Ooer. I don't think I'm the type to incite men to lose control of their senses and drive them wild. Thirty years ago maybe (or maybe not).

😂😂

Maybe I've just got a suspicious/dirty mind but my first thought would be that the handyman's took it aswell. I'd be tempted to get him back around for a 'job' and leave a pair of sexy knickers lying round. Then set up a secret camera to see if he takes the bait😂

Hazelnuttella · 13/06/2023 20:28

I think that would be better described as a negligee than a nightie. Just so he knows what you mean when you text him 😂

PinkPrincessPhilo · 13/06/2023 20:33

Think you’ve got yourself a sniffer.
