ChuckUFarley - The La Redoute catalogue was a bit like that. Bras and pants as you'd expect, then a double page spread of the crotchless variety...

ChuckUFarley · 07/06/2012 19:53

Madness isn't it Abzs? Dh's eyes nearly fell out of his head when he was happily searching for a lawnmower Grin

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 19:56

It does have porn dvds in it

What makes you say 'fake females'?

I don't know anyone who would Sign me up for it- suspect just on a mailing list???

I'm pissed off because I don't like it-but also what if the kids got hold of it

Oh dear. This isn't porn, and YABU. Just throw it away if you don't like it. Like other junk mail.

TidyDancer · 07/06/2012 19:57

It has free porn dvds, or porn advertised?

TidyDancer · 07/06/2012 19:58

Why don't you tell your DC not to open your post?

ThoughtBen10WasBadPokemonOMG · 07/06/2012 19:58

They have fake rear ends for men who don't have a lady

I wouldn't complain. They'd probably send you a free gift as an apology.

EclecticShock · 07/06/2012 19:59

I would hope someone signed you up for it... I think it's fairly unusable to just receive porn in the post. Or maybe you gave your details to something related?

Shakirasma · 07/06/2012 20:00

This sort of thing does not get sent out ad hoc to random people.

Somebody must have signed you up.

Rachog · 07/06/2012 20:02

Yanbu, I thought you had to sign up for this kind of thing. I understand your concern about children getting hold of it.

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 20:03

Why shouldn't my dcs open my post?
Just incase I receive unsolicited catalougue of crotchless knickers, but plugs and porn dvds?? Hmm

This is my home and my dcs home

No, it isn't the same as other junk mail-pizzas, taxis and Indian food is pretty much U rated

The only thing I can think of....

I was buying new bras off a catalougue web site last week...and my mum said it had come up on my Facebook news feed, each bra I looked at!!
I meant to phone the company to complain and I forgot

Could that have done it do you think?

OP posts:
TidyDancer · 07/06/2012 20:06

Sorry, but I think it is the same, and I still think YABU.

Nothing wrong with your DCs opening your post if you wish, just that you asked what if the kids got hold of it....if you were worried what they could get hold of in the post, then why let them open it? Surely catalogues are not the only thing that you wouldn't want them playing about with.

I really don't see this as a big deal....it's not porn.

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 20:09

ben10 that is minging! And Grin

tidydancer yeah, you're right, pizza is just like butt plugs....

OP posts:
TidyDancer · 07/06/2012 20:14

Not really. Pizza makes more mess when it gets posted through your door.

It's just a leaflet. Throw it away if you don't want anything to do with it.

MarySA · 07/06/2012 20:14

I think that's a disgrace. Anyway I thought it was against the law to send this kind of material by post unless it has been requested.

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 07/06/2012 20:17

YANBU.

The sex toys would have me reaching for the smelling salts, but someone trying to sell me porn via mail order would piss me off.

I hate porn.

EclecticShock · 07/06/2012 21:09

I really doubt buying bras is the culprit, which site did you buy them from? I have bought sex toys and porn but have never received any porn mailings or emails. I think someone must have signed you up :(

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 21:19

I've been stewing on this whilst running...

It's not the toys that have pissed me off I realise. It's the underwear....because its so much more 'gentle' and acceptable-objectification isn't it. No men in nasty thongs! Just women in syringe stockings etc etc. It's THAT I don't want my dds exposed to

Fuckers

saintmerryweather · 07/06/2012 23:01

fucking hell... why are your dcs opening your post anyway? yes its their home but i never opened any of my mum and dads post

LisaLaundryThatsLAAANDRY · 07/06/2012 23:21

Yep i agree with others.Someone has signed you up.I don't think yabu to be angry btw

bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 23:23

good for you merryweather

OP posts:
bejeezusWC · 07/06/2012 23:24

sooooo....it would seem, the question is, WHO the fucking hell would sign me up??????

OP posts:
signet2012 · 07/06/2012 23:25

I only don't like it because it boggles my mind, then I get a morbid fascination and DP laughs at me for my prudish ways. "Pussy pump" was a particular favourite I had no idea such thing existed nor why it would exist. DP googled it to show me and I can honestly say I am still none the wiser as to why?!?

Empusa · 07/06/2012 23:25

Are any of your friends known for awful practical jokes? Have you upset anyone lately? Maybe it's a creepy admirer?
