AIBU to think that this is completely weird?

OK, before I start I know this is going to sound like I'm trolling but I absolutely promise this is for real.
My cousin and I have been whatsapping tonight - she's just bought a house with her DP having never lived together before and we often end up having chats about those annoying habits you discover when you move in together.
Tonight she mentioned that one thing has happened and she can't get her head around it and doesn't know how to tackle it with DP, whether to bring it up or just leave it so wanted my advice. I'm afraid I'm just slightly agog and can offer no explanation but have her full permission to post here to see if anyone else has any gems to offer...

DP is out and she was tidying up the bedroom. She opened his top drawer to put some socks away and found a ziplock bag....full of what can only be (her words) neatly trimmed pubic hair. Just resting on top of the socks. The dustpan and brush was sitting on top of his chest of drawers. She's a bit freaked out by the whole thing - why didn't he just flush it or throw it away?it's mainly the effort of having swept it into the bag that's bothering her, I mean why keep it?? She feels like she should bring it up but isn't sure how... I think she should leave the bag on top of the drawers so it's visible and see what he does...

Any ideas? I have to admit I'm been torn between laughing like a complete loon and complete bafflement. We've now had a few glasses of wine between us and the whatsapps are becoming completely hysterical. Do join us with any wisdom you can offer.

Bizarre cuttings, photos and yep pubes from ex girlfriends.

It wasn't big enough for a head Grin I wouldn't put it past him though.

I kid you not.

Luckily enough my friend has people around that he's scared of, who aren't allowed to do anything to him but.

Francescal88 · 30/12/2015 00:39

We definitely need you to elaborate on that Rose...

rosewithoutthorns · 30/12/2015 00:54

Bet you do Frances Grin

He is a bloody arsehole though, very strange and very abusive mentally rather than physically. It's taken friend 4 years to get rid of him almost but not quite. He even turned up the other week, walked up stairs and went to sleep in what was "their" bed.

I opened the microwave the other day to find a single pube sitting in the middle like an actor alone on the stage.

Actually lolled GrinGrin

She should do one of those singing gram things, a la Phoebe from Friends;

I found you in my drawers,
How did you get there?
You are a mystereeee -
Little bag of curly hairs!

Please keep us updated, I am agog! Grin

bumblebeerat · 30/12/2015 01:08

Maybe he's planning on knitting a very pube jumper people do it with dog hair why not pubes?

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 30/12/2015 01:10

to microwave pube! Gak.

Rose - that is indeed weird. He sounds like a real oddball and one to steer well clear of.

catsofa · 30/12/2015 01:27

Place marking sorry I can't find Watch This Thread on my phone and I need to know if they split up over this and who gets to keep the house

emotionsecho · 30/12/2015 01:31

I can't imagine a reasonable explanation for this and the neat line of pubes on the toilet seat is equally baffling.

Rose that sounds as creepy as hell, glad to hear your friend will soon be free and has a security detail.

Vedamakesthebesttoast · 30/12/2015 07:57

whyisthe the pube beaker refers to a thread years ago where the op had asked if anyone else's dh kept a 'penis beaker' beside the bed for waggling his Rodger in to rinse off the post coital gloop..... Obviously she was on her own, it was a ver ver funny thread. It sticks in the mind, Hence my query as to whether he was picking the lived out of his version

I'm not even going to pretend to have anything to add. Blatant placemarking.

queenrollo · 30/12/2015 08:27

Does he like fly fishing?

A long time ago I knew someone who made a fly out of pubic hair. He won a fly fishing comp with it. Said it caused hilarity when he filled out the form having to state what the fly was made from.

Hurr1cane · 30/12/2015 08:36

I hope it's an old beard and not pubes. Very odd.

msrisotto · 30/12/2015 08:41

Weird. placemarking

PinkSquash · 30/12/2015 08:45

How odd! Grin

MoBro · 30/12/2015 08:48

My husbands mother announced at a family barbecue that she had found a bag of pubes under husbands bed when he was a teenager and had anyone told me? It was pretty embarrassing for us both, I think it's weird but have never asked him why.

SouthWesterlyWinds · 30/12/2015 08:57

I watched a come dine with me episode some time back. One of the diners had been keeping his hair and that of his friends in little ziplock bags to use later in his art.

Mona Lisa's sleek hair now has a new meaning, eh? Xmas Confused

All slight regrets over starting this thread have dissolved completely - you lot are hilarious and so creative. The penis beaker is something else veda -I am thoroughly enjoying that thread with my morning cuppa.

rose he sounds so sinister! His exes pubes??? Why oh why oh why. Obviously more than a bit of an oddball there.

Currently waiting for an update. Feel like I can concentrate on anything else until I know the outcome.

Maybe he is saving them up to send them off to make a wig for those men less fortunate than him in the facial hair department?

carabos · 30/12/2015 09:25

Can I just say that a beard is pubic hair? "Pubic" to me means "stuff that happens at or as a result of puberty" not just stuff in the pubic area of the body. Once you think of it that way, you'll never look at a bearded man in quite the same way as before Wink.

Basically, if it's beard hair in the bag, that doesn't really make it any better. It's weird and yucky.

Crochetfanatic · 30/12/2015 09:28

Very strange! place marking

Update
She (perhaps unwisely) asked him about it last night when he got home, stinking drunk. She took the bag from the drawer and showed it to him and asked what it was about.

He got very cross and wouldn't talk about it, snatched the bag from her and went downstairs to sleep on the sofa...where he still is....with the bag.

If I was reading this thread I wouldn't believe it - it's so very odd. Possibly just drunkeness though and he'll come out with an explanation this morning when he wakes up clutching his bag of pubes
