They either belong to the babysitter or my husband.

I wouldn't have thought of them being his, except they appeared near a pile of things he is taking on a work trip tomorrow.

I hope they are not my babysitter's because that would mean she has been removing her knickers, rather than sitting pleasantly in my house looking after my children.

clever marking Tangle Grin

booooooooooyhoo · 16/10/2010 22:14

my vote is the babysitter has been doing her washing while you are out and set the pile on the sofa to sort. she missed this pair while she took the rest out to her car.

did she drive to your yuno?

marking my place with a Biscuit because I'm a bit hungry.

Babysitter had them in her bag as she was going straight to her boyfriend's after yours and they fell out when she was rummaging in her bag to find a mirror to check her make up.

This happened to me on a bench on a train platform before. I saw them still there on the bench as the train was pulling away from the station.

Oh no, Lottery! Grin

My brother is a teacher in a school. One day they were holding interviews, every applicant was a man. At the end of the morning interviews they found a leopard skin print thong on the stairs that had been used solely by the applicants that morning. hehehe.

very strange.

allhallowsandwine · 16/10/2010 22:22

hehe did he get the job WTDDT? they must have been his lucky pants.

rockinhippy · 16/10/2010 22:23

Maybe I've just hung around in the wrong circles Blush,

but my first thought was, if they look too big for the sitter, & are clean, then your Husband is probably either a secret Transvestite, or on his way to being one & starting off with secret frillys Wink.....where is he going on his trip, has he got anything else stashed away?

ellesbelles79 · 16/10/2010 22:24

maybe babysitter has a crush on your DH and strategically left her panties with his stuff to take on his trip....maybe its a teaser??

AngryPixie · 16/10/2010 22:33

AM trying to think of something to see whilst secretly marking my place for the salacious reveal Blush

WhatsThatDuckDoingThere · 16/10/2010 22:35

Allhallows - that's the thing. They don't know which candidate dropped the thong, so they may or may not have employed the weirdo owner.

KiwiKat · 16/10/2010 22:39

I am SOOOO watching this thread!

Dracschick · 16/10/2010 22:44

maybe the babysitters boyfriend brought them for her?

Dracschick · 16/10/2010 22:44

Maybe the babysitter bought them for the OP???

I cant believe you sniffed someone else's pants Shock

lowrib · 16/10/2010 23:22

There's lots of ways a pair of unworn knickers could have got there.

How about - she was carrying her washing to put away and a pair of knickers fell out the pile. She came across them on the floor at her home on her way out and put them in her pocket / bag, and somehow they came out at yours.

Or she could have just bought them, and they fell out of her bag.

Sounds unlikely perhaps, but there is no likely story that ends up with a pair of knickers on your sofa. However there they are, so something strange has occurred!

Incidentally, if your babysitter is also your cleaner then she's bound to do something with them (put them away maybe?) when she comes across them whether they're hers or not - isn't she?
