Two AIBUs in five minutes. Probably need to wind me neck in...

I got a christmas card this morning, not meant for us. I don't even know how it got to my house; my house number is 37, it had 68 on the envelope. Imagine I live on Dave Street, the envelope had Dave Road on it. Hmm

Opened it up without thinking, then saw it addressed to Sheila and Peter. There was a pretty lengthy message in it from Gaynor and Mike, who live in London (I live Midlands) It was quite a nice message and I thought what a shame that Sheila and Peter will miss out on the card! There was a London 'phone number at the bottom so I thought I would do a good deed and let the sender know that their card had not got to the intended recipient". Call went like this:

"Hello?"

Me: "Hello! Sorry to bother you, but am I speaking to Peter?"

Peter: "Yeah"

Me: "Oh good, I recieved a card from you this morning but it was not meant for me, it was sent to someone called Gaynor and Mike. I just wanted to let you know that it has been sent to the wrong address and that you might want to send another one."

Peter:

Merry christmas to you too, bollockchops!

Hi Strapon, how's it er hanging?

TheFrogs · 14/12/2011 14:09

I thought it was Gike that wronged Sheeter at the Bernie Inn? Are you saying that was not the case Gike? Please explain so we can judge whether you are BU.

I think that Gike wronged SheeTer at the Berni Inn.

The evening was done for anyway after Gaynor complained to the waiter about there only being three prawns in her prawn cocktail. Peter hates any kind of fuss.

Hanging good. Have been extraordinarily roood to Fuckwit, and sent him packing. Doubt he will bother again. Xmas Grin

TechnoViking · 14/12/2011 14:12

You arrived at the Bernie Inn to find Sheeter shagging in the bushes, like those Fast Show sketches, didn't you?

TechnoViking · 14/12/2011 14:13

I like his name change Strapon. Well done. I'm sure he's feeling all sorry for himself now.

TheFrogs · 14/12/2011 14:13

Peter was already embarrassed at the rate Sheila was knocking back the sherry. The prawns were the last straw.

SantasStrapon · 14/12/2011 14:14

I should think so. I pointed out that he has a tiny cock amongst other things. Which he does. Xmas Grin

HintofBream · 14/12/2011 14:18

I am confused.
BCCS's post said the card was FROM M and G but addressed TO S&P.

She rang the number on the card, presumably M&G's and asked if he was Peter -Why? - saying she had opened a card addressed TO M&G.
Please clarify BCCS, I am irrationally concerned for them all.
Or have I missed something?

bonkersLFDT20 · 14/12/2011 14:18

I don't get it.

If the card is from Gaynor and Mike, how come you phoned Peter? How come Peter's phone number is at the bottom of the card. Surely it would be Mike's?

Did you actually phone Mike and call him Peter and then he hung up thinking you were weird?

I said up-thread: I confused myself in my intial post... Peter and Sheila were the senders/Mike and Gaynor were the recipients. In my anger upset state, I confused things.

TheFrogs · 14/12/2011 14:24

Oh no, this changes everything.

Peter is the arse in my mind now, although if Mike is the arse it would reinforce Gike's post that it was in fact Sheeter who did the wrong at the Berni Inn.

[head explodes]

TheFrogs · 14/12/2011 14:26

[settles back down, satisfied that Peter is still the arse]

nativitywreck · 14/12/2011 14:26

I think you need to call Peter back. Have this thing out with him once and for all.
You need closure Baubles

Well actually I DO feel like I need some closure. I am perplexed. Why would you be mean to a well-meaning nutcase?

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 14/12/2011 14:31

I also need some closure.

TheFrogs · 14/12/2011 14:32

I would say he doesn't realise Sheila is writing their phone number in cards and thought it was a scam. Poor Peter, he doesn't like anything out of the ordinary.

SantasStrapon · 14/12/2011 14:33

I need that card flashmob. :(

TheProvincialLady · 14/12/2011 14:34

Can you buy Closure Baubles? I'd pay good money for Closure Baubles at this time of the year.

TheProvincialLady · 14/12/2011 14:35

Imagine the sales you'd make if you were a Closure Baubles rep and hung around the Relationships threads.

Hang on, Peter is a Penis AND and arse? That would make a great xmas jumper!!

HoHoOpotomus · 14/12/2011 14:39

note to self - be sure to include phone number on all Christmas cards from now on ....... just in case!

nativitywreck · 14/12/2011 14:40

Say something like:
"Peter, it's me, Baubles. From 37 Dave St. I just think we should have a little chat about why you hung up on me, is that OK?"

ReduceRecycleRegift · 14/12/2011 14:43

I think it was wierd of you to ring, I'ld have popped it back in the post or returned to sender with a note saying "delivered to wrong address". I wouldn't have phoned and would prob be freaked out if I received such a call
