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!

Why did you open it? I think you should have written the address on another envelope and re-posted.

Only joking ...GrinGrinGrinGrin

have PMSL at this...!
And will let DH read it in the morning so he can see why I was right to just throw away the Happy Retirement card sent to 'Karen' that I opened because I hoped it might be a christmas card with a round robin in it

oxeye · 15/12/2011 00:12

but in Groundhog Day you get to practice over and over so that means another card will come tomorrow, you will speak to Pete the Penis and,,, um,, learn to ice carve or something

MissMogwi · 15/12/2011 07:06

But why did you open it if it wasn't addressed to you?

Xmas Grin

You are all nuts!

SantasStrapon · 15/12/2011 08:43

Curry is even better than bean juice. Send it back to Peter Penis. Xmas Grin

TheFrogs · 15/12/2011 11:14

I bet they had a blazing row over that card when Sheila got back from the bingo.

You tried to save a friendship and instead killed a happy marriage, hope you're proud of yourself lady!

Dont call Peter back today, he'll be tired, he slept in the spare room last night on that sofa bed.

OK so I told DH about this last night when he got home. He thought it was hysterical so...

HE dug the card out of the bin and he is ringing Sheila tonight.

I want to die.

He says that he is worried that Peter will think that I am a scammer Hmm (yes, because scammers always ring you to say that they have your christmas cards) and thinks that he should deal with it.

I think that he just wants in on this pantomime. I hope he forgets. Blush

Google the phone number, you may find Sheila and Peter are wanted by MI6 the correct address comes up

Then you can.....ermm....ignore it but feel satisfied by your detective work.

ViviPrudolf · 15/12/2011 14:06

Well thanks a bunch effing Supermarket-That-Owns-England for demanding I work in-house yesterday hence my late-coming to this thread.

I'd be all over google streetview for a gawp at SheeTers. Then I'd text their land line with witty and insightful observations about their home, to be delivered in AutoTomBaker.

I'm sorry I'm sorry. I know this was miles upthread, but I have to ask, it's driving me mad:

What is the significance of pampas grass?

Honestly, I thought I was worldly wise, but I have no idea.

Bups this thread is gold. Grin

empirestateofmind · 15/12/2011 14:35

pampas grass denotes swinging tendencies

stubbornstains · 15/12/2011 14:36

GOSH! Blush

This will make going back to Stains Mansions in suburbia for Christmas all the more exciting. I will be taking a full audit of all the neighbourhood pampas clumps. Now where's me clipboard?

Please tell Mr Cunting that I love him. And I bet he agrees to the Flashnob Carbing.

Flashmoc carbing? What the eff has Claire Powell got to do with this?!

stubbornstains · 15/12/2011 14:51

I read that as Flashnob Carbing, and had unwholesome images of mince pies being thrown at an erect penis.

(obviously too long since I had either Sad)

ShirleyKnot · 15/12/2011 14:57

I always check the addresses on the front of the envelopes. I can't believe that people actually don't. Lazy much Laze-o?

Hmm
