To wonder why someone has posted a spatula through my letterbox?

[gracielacey]

I've come home and found a wooden spatula on the inside of my front door that must have come through the letterbox.

Does anyone have any idea where that would have come from?

@JiltedJohnsJulie that made me laugh! Visual image of a dog gently taking it. 'Please can I have my spatula back?' Haha! I must say I hope it is something like that and nothing like someone trying to break in (although most hardened criminals surely mooch about town with something more sinister and effective than spatulas??)

I have friends who are consultantsand they use a wooden spoon / spatula to push leaflets through doors in case there is a snappy dog on the the other side of the door....I kid you not

Dunno why it's funny - DH is a postman and Royal Mail provide long plastic letter holders to deliver with in case of snappy dogs.

I never knew this about leaflet delivery! Wow!

Have you got a local election coming up? Leafleteers will use a spatula to open or poke leaflets through post boxes rather than risk getting fingers trapped.

Forget about all these reasonable explanations OP, you’ve obviously been marked by the Spatula King.
For what remains to be seen...

Not the Spatula King, more likely
Count Spatula.
Do you have a lovely long neck?

Count Spatula

I laughed out loud, thanks chicaxe.

I had no idea about leafleting with kitchen tools. Great idea.

It would be a free gift with the labour leaflet. They probably had a bag with hundreds of them in - spatulas 'for the many not the few'.

I couldn't vote for a party that posted a hard-to-read fake hand written note and a free spatula. Its too fucking random.

I had never heard of the spatula thing, but having delivered the free local newspaper as a child with my friend a few times in an area where everyone had dogs, I get it!

A gay friend of mine was once on a Grindr date and the guy was really dull. He'd suggested meeting at Debenhams because he wanted to buy a spatula. And that's all he did. It wasn't an excuse to shop, or to invite my friend back to do some cooking, or even for a bit of light spanking. It was just kitchen utensil shopping on a first date.

There was no second date.

I would think that someone is hinting that I'm a stirrer- stirring trouble for someone else. Having said that It could have been put through the wrong door.
