AIBU to ask you to explain missing ironing board

[Purrrplexed]

Hi,

This may seem trivial to some but it has totally freaked me out to the extent I am spending the night with friends. Please help me see reason!

Yesterday, I had a meeting which required a more formal outfit that was nice and crisp. I have an ironing board which is rarely used but ha ALWAYS been placed in the coat cupboard in my corridor by the front door. However, when I went to retrieve it yesterday it was NOWHERE TO BE SEEN. I am disturbed as I can come up with no logical explanation as to why it was missing. The last time I used it was 3 ish weeks ago.

• I live on my own in C. London
• My visitors arrive on foot, tube etc
• I would notice if they walked off with the ironing board- it is 100% not in the flat.
• Why steal a rarely used ironing board

-I live in a secure building with the concierge (until 7 pm)

AIBU to ask you to please explain this. I'm really unnerved. Am I crazy? What would your natural reaction to this be?

Ah bollocks!

OP never came back and updated? Do you think she found it where she had left it? 😁

DH often loses his pencil and finds it behind his ear.....has OP checked there?

Behind the fridge?

Any sign of it yet, OP?

I still feel like I need to know what happened to the ironing board!

I've completely lost my iron and thought of this thread. I think they might have been planning this all along.

Really bizarre, there's only two places it would be and it's not in either. And no one in the house would move or use it bar me.

The iron and the ironing board went to sea,
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey,
And plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.

Whatever happened to the ironing board?

I wonder if the ironing board has any new year's resolutions for 2020?

I found my iron! It was kept on a shelf under the stairs and had fallen into a bag of summer shoes I had sorted to put away! Found it when double checking my bedroom closet for hidden Christmas presents.

Or, did he and the ironing board split up? Has the ironing board been found??

Its hiding in plain site

I bet it was right in the cupboard where she left it and was too embarrassed to come back and update the thread

Omg I thought the mystery was solved!!

This has been posted before. Not sure if on MN

Have you found the iron? Is it with the iron? What was the last thing you ironed ?

I saw this whilst stopped at traffic lights in Slough. Is this it?

Bump

Why are you bumping this thread? No one can solve the mystery, at least tag the OP so maybe she'll get a notification.

Cue 50,000 replies from people who dont notice it's been a year since the thread was started

A lot of people on the "Threads you'd like to see answered" have just been discussing it. What's it got to do with you if someone bumps a thread? Get a life.

Bugger zombie not an update 🤦‍♀️

Ya bastard. Why would you bump this I thought it had been found.

Oh poo, thought I could relax once more, safe in the knowledge this mystery had been solved.

@purrplexed did it ever turn up?

Damn it I thought it had been found!

Realistically, you will only find it when you have ordered a new one and it gets delivered.

THEN your old ironing board will be staring at you, bold as brass.
