What's the harm?

I can only see this being a problem if it was in cellophane or totally unwrapped.

Was it?

kilmuir · 07/06/2012 19:09

any offers, must buys?

PissesGlitter · 07/06/2012 19:11

Depends which company its from

TheSmallPrint · 07/06/2012 19:12

YANBU

TheCunnyFunt · 07/06/2012 19:13

Oooh any decent offers? Which company?

Sorry, to the point, yanbu if you haven't specifically ordered one. Who was it addressed to?

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 19:15

It was addressed to me!

It's in a brown envelope but it just feels really intrusive/inappropriate. It has open dvds in it-i don't like porn

It's called STB

YANBU if you apply that to all junk mail. YABU if you're fussing about just this particular type - you may not want it but it won't give you the plague or corrupt your husband y'know.

Clutch your pearls in horror. NOT THAT KIND.

Is it Love Honey Beejeezus? You can get special spray to help you get into your latex outfits from there Grin Always useful for when you want to get into a catsuit.

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 19:19

I have little tolerance for all junk mail

But I'd rather be faced with an unwanted take away menu, than a catalougue of butt plugs after a hard day at work

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 19:21

Yes that kind picnic!

Is it pabo? I love reading the weird translations of the descriptions and looking at the weird 'fashion' clothes that they have. Me and an old post-uni housemate used to love a good catch up on what's new in pabo.

ThoughtBen10WasBadPokemonOMG · 07/06/2012 19:22

Didn't it make you giggle just a little bit? Honestly?

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 19:25

No. I'm in a bad mood

Am a bit intrigued by some of the vibratorsñ they look monstrous

Although tbf if you haven't asked for it yanbu to be annoyed. I had a few explicit texts sent to my old mobile phone number that were marketing for some type of porn site or similar and that really annoyed me. However, if you can tell what it is before you open it you can just bin it, I had to see those texts before I realised what they were. I always worried about if kids with mobiles received that sort of stuff.

SunshineOutdoors · 07/06/2012 19:26

I am not equating underwear and vibrators with explicit porn chat btw.

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 19:29

I thought it was from the tax credit people before I opened it

Charliefox · 07/06/2012 19:30

Ha ha, busted! You didn't like it dropping through your letterbox but it didn't stop you having a sneaky peak then?!

Empusa · 07/06/2012 19:31

Sounds like someone has signed you up for it..

ChuckUFarley · 07/06/2012 19:32

We get 'lifestyle' catalogues (France). You can be happily flicking through looking at gardening tools, toys, clothes and then - BAM - a couple of pages of sex toys, then pjs, arts and crafts stuff....

I've learnt to keep them out of the kids' reach now.

G1nger · 07/06/2012 19:33

A friend and I once did this to another friend when we were doing a-levels. It only cost us £1 and we heard she opened it in front of her mother at the breakfast table. Yes, I know- very mature of us ;)

LadyBeagleEyes · 07/06/2012 19:34

I'd be annoyed.
I'm a single divorced mother and I personally hate porn.
Can I add, I lived and worked in the Red Light district in Amsterdam during my 20's in a topless bar, and have seen enough porn in my lifetime as well as enough arseholes that get off on it, without it being sent to me in sleazy brown envelopes.

lydiamama · 07/06/2012 19:38

You have all the rights, and the right to complain too. I do not mind the takeaways, and sometimes catalogues (usually clothes and make-up). I even would be ok with underwear catalogues, but vibrators??????? and I supposed other things of the kind!!!!!!!!!!! What about if a kid picks it up!!!!!!!!

ThoughtBen10WasBadPokemonOMG · 07/06/2012 19:43

This isn't porn though LadyBeagleEyes.

ThoughtBen10WasBadPokemonOMG · 07/06/2012 19:45

Someone's definitely signed you up to it knowing that you wouldn't be amused. However I can understand that it must be a shock to think you are going to get your tax credit renewal and find butt plugs and fake females :D
