Pants on your head

My mate reckons that using (clean) knickers to tie her hair up while getting washed in the bath is completely reasonable.

I think she looks like a wally with pants on her head. AIBU?

Winner gets wine, must be answered immediately. (Pick me)

Completely unbiased obviously.

what happened to using bobbles?

LaurieFairyCake · 24/01/2014 17:44

I think you should go back in time and buy her a scrunchie

FanFuckingTastic · 24/01/2014 17:44

I'll take that as score one to me. Wine

Apparently she couldn't find any. I do recall a packet of brand new pants sitting in there though.

I did it once when I went on a sunbed (in the olden days) and had forgotten a bobble. They were the knickers I'd just taken off.

FanFuckingTastic · 24/01/2014 17:45

Two points. Wine looking more likely. I may even get a little drunk. On Mumsnet provided wine.

This is like the best place ever. Grin

I have known someone walk around the streets with their hair tied back with a pair of knickers, she said it was easier than trying to find a bobble.

lubeybooby · 24/01/2014 17:47

Hahahaa!

I am the culprit in question. It's perfectly reasonable imho - no bobbles, didn't want to get my hair wet, which is waist length by the way, so I made one. I think it's resourceful and inventive

pick meeeeeeeee!

MissPryde · 24/01/2014 17:50

Are you sure she hasn't already been in the wine?

FayeKorgasm · 24/01/2014 17:50

I've been known to put pants on my head - there is sadly photographic evidence.

In my defence, they were a present I had just opened and I was very very drunk! Wine

I always use bobbles to tie my hair up in bath/ shower though. I'm not mad.

GoofyIsACow · 24/01/2014 17:51

Ive used knickers, socks, pencils... In fact anything in the absence of a booble!

Nombrechanger · 24/01/2014 17:51

That's rank!

GoofyIsACow · 24/01/2014 17:52

So to summarise YABU

FanFuckingTastic · 24/01/2014 17:52

I checked, none of the bottles are opened yet, although I have mine sitting on the table in front of me. Low alcohol wine, mmmmm.

I think we may have to start at trend of underwear uses.

No dishcloth? Grab some pants.

Need to polish. Grab some pants.

Fashion your own hammock with pants.

Need a sunhat? Wear your pants.

Wouldn't work with thongs obviously.

Goofy same here, you're my kind of woman. I'll share the wine with you Wink

Nombrechanger · 24/01/2014 17:54

What the fuck is a booble?

Nombrechanger · 24/01/2014 17:55

Ooooooooookay....I just googled booble..
Interesting....

lubeybooby · 24/01/2014 17:55

a booble is when your breasts are sagged enough to use as a bobble, clearly.

FanFuckingTastic · 24/01/2014 17:56

A booble is obviously the same as pants but with a bra. Tie your hair up with your bra.

lubeybooby · 24/01/2014 17:57

right, this is pants wars now.

wine at stake, don't let me down MN

Binkyridesagain · 24/01/2014 17:57

Booble? Isn't that something you use to tie back nipple hair?

muppet1969 · 24/01/2014 17:58

Weird, definitely! Don't you have any hair bands!?!

lubeybooby · 24/01/2014 17:58

Binky :o

sheriffofnottingham · 24/01/2014 18:00

totally acceptable. I used to do this in my days of doing the 'walk of shame'. Wild night of passion in heavy make up = need to make face presentable in the morning. Pants are the best thing to tie your hair back.

These days I need considerably more twists to get them to stay in. Beer and kebabs in your twenties leads to bigger pants in your thirties.

FanFuckingTastic · 24/01/2014 18:01

I don't have long hair because I shaved my head.

I would also shave nipple hair if I had any, but am interested in the idea of growing some pigtails instead of having a vajazzle, just to be a bit different.

If you can have pants on your hairdo, then I want a hairdo in my pants. Obviously.

I have been known to use (definitely clean) pants or socks as an emergency flannel. I wouldn't tie my hair up with them though... That's just WEIRD Wink
