Someone else’s KNICKERS down the sofa - balance of possibilities?

[SuspiciousAboutKnickers]

This incident happened a few years ago but DH recently reminded me of it .

A pair of skimpy black knickers was found by me stuffed down the side of the sofa. I’m pretty thorough on cleaning and regularly wiped down and hoovered down the sides of said (leather) sofa so they couldn’t have been there long. Sofa was quite new and bought new not secondhand.

We’d recently had our DC’s birthday party.

DH’s ‘suggestion’ was that they had dropped out of one of DC’s friend’s mothers handbags while they were sitting there waiting for party to finish. Possibly no more than 10 minutes. Would you not notice that a pair of knickers had fallen out of your handbag while sitting on a sofa though? How much moving around would you have to do to get them wedged down the side of the sofa?

AIBU to think this was very fishy?

Your sister shagged your DH and your mum knows all.

@papaelf

It happened a few years ago yet you haven't resolved it?

This. Why?

Do you know if they were your sisters size?

I'm sorry to say that it makes me think your sister and husband were carrying on. Your mother probably knew.

Awful though, and I hope I'm wrong.

I’ve often kept spare knickers in my handbag 🤷‍♀️

We cleaned behind the radiators of our new (ancient) house and discovered an ample supply of amply sized naughty knickers. Red and black satin were favoured. They just kept emerging over several weeks. I’m quite voluptuous myself but these belonged to a lady with an impressive bum (I’m more of a boob girl) so unless my husband has been letting a peach-bottomed mistress sneak in to dry her laundry here, I think it’s just one of those things that can happen due to random circumstance.

What’s more, your DH is getting off on your “stupidity” by bringing it up again.

Or Small child at the party?? I recall how mortified I was when DD presented the vicar with a tampon she'd 'rescued' from my bag whilst I was talking to him about DS christening. I had let her play with stuff in there to distract her whilst we were talking. She'd unwrapped it too and wanted to show him the 'little mouse'. Still mortified thinking about that.

I can actually feel this incident. It feels like deja vu. I've been there... still dying... years later.

OP, as for your scenario, it's absolutely another woman from years ago. Not 'marking', just lost her knickers and probably left in a hurry. People act like some things are too cliche to be true. But how do you think cliches are born in the first place? Because this stuff actually happens quite routinely. I found the black sexy knickers on the back seat of my car plus tacky earrings on the floor- bonus points for that one. Nice stain on the seat as well. Jackpot.

Your sister shagged your DH and your mum knows all.

OP, have you considered this possibility?

A friend of mine once walked to work through the centre of town without realising there was a thing hanging from the velcro tab on her freshly washed coat

why would your mother say your sister sholdnt be there alone without you there

Do you have a cat? They sometimes steal washing and bury it

Hmm i hope you get to the bottom of it OP. Are you going to ask DH? All sounds very fishy

Hope you’re ok op

I don’t know if this helps but one I had a skimpy black thong get caught in my sleeve or bag or something without me realising it and somehow transported it to my friends KITCHEN where she found it the next day. So embarrassing but nothing sinister. It’s possible it could be something completely innocent

I found a mystery Peppa Pig sock in the washing machine hose. I’m now worried my dog maybe having canine/porcine relations whilst I’m at work.
And OP, seems odd, but can’t see why another woman would stuff them there?

I’m resisting the obvious joke here....

This story has been passed down in our family. It happened to a relative in the 1950s – before tights, and seemingly before people locked their cars (was there such a time?)

She and her DH were out shopping in town, and she returned to the car to change her stockings. She left the discarded pair on the front passenger seat.

When they returned to the car to go home, the stockings weren't there. She realised she had changed them in another car that looked just like their own.

She wondered ever after what problems that pair of stockings left in a stranger's car might have caused. Did it break up a marriage?!

The fact he brought it up after all this time - it is significant to him.

He's a psychopath and he's enjoying rubbing your nose in an incident you had forgotten. He's taking delight in the effect it's creating. No other explanation.

I think you will already know many other incidents of casual cruelty he's done. If not - wow, he's done a number on you.

Few men would bring up something they knew might cause an argument with their wife. But psychopaths? they love causing pain.
