A full bottle of whiskey and a full bottle of vodka have been left in my front garden by the booze fairies.

AIBU to claim them before the neighbours think I have issues?

What is the etiquette here?

Weeeeelllll, if the booze fairy wants you to have them.... It would be rude not to!! Wink

I would be making sure they fed haven't been opened tho!!

RestlessTraveller · 11/06/2016 10:23

Fuck the etiquette. Check they haven't been tampered with and have a party.

Andthereshewas77 · 11/06/2016 10:51

I'm slightly worried about drunken teens knocking my door late at night to reclaim them.

They are barely visible from the pavement unless you look over a low wall.

... let's see how long it takes for them to disappear.

I'd bin them, who knows wtf they are and even if they've not been tampered with you don't know where they came from- counterfeit booze can be poisonous

Probably hidden from someone who'd already had too much. Sad I feel sorry for whoever had to do that. I'd leave it.

Gileswithachainsaw · 11/06/2016 10:55

sure they weren't used to just piss in.

I agree with not drinking them..you can't be sure what it really is or whether it's sage to drink.

SaucyJack · 11/06/2016 10:56

Leave it, or bin it.

I wouldn't trust anyone who gives away vodka.

Check the seal....sniff it too before consuming!

Pinkheart5915 · 11/06/2016 11:20

Claim them, check they are still sealed if so open and enjoy!

SirChenjin · 11/06/2016 11:22

If the seals are still intact then add a mixer of your choice and enjoy!

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 11/06/2016 11:22

Probably an adult version of an Easter Egg hunt.

Have you seen any slightly tipsy bunnies lately.

PoisonWitch · 11/06/2016 12:00

I would totally claim then with above disclaimers about deals etc.

PoisonWitch · 11/06/2016 12:01

Seals stupid phone

Andthereshewas77 · 11/06/2016 13:38

Still there so far ...

Shoplifted I reckons, probably just a temporary place to hide them.

AlpacaPicnic · 11/06/2016 15:13

Id bring them indoors and replace them with something else in a bottle.
Some shampoo and conditioner, or mineral water and soy sauce...

Keep a watch out. See if anyone looks confused...

GlitteryFluff · 11/06/2016 15:16

I agree with them being shop lifted. Someone will be back to collect I reckon.

coco1810 · 11/06/2016 15:55

AlpacaPicnic love your response!

Iknownuffink · 11/06/2016 16:00

Rescue them I'd the seals are intact, enjoy.

If not bin them

Iknownuffink · 11/06/2016 16:01

*if

Andthereshewas77 · 11/06/2016 16:14

And they're gone ... I did not see the fairy.
Hmm

I'd probably be Brahms by now.

And they're gone... It wasn't me!
