The Yodel man has my remote control and I have his dooda

[DrDance]

Delivery signed for at 12pm.

I ran to the door with the remote control in my hand as experience tells me if you don't get there fast they leave.

So, opened door, he handed me box. Put box on floor. He handed me the signing thing so handed him the remote control so I could hold and sign signing thing

We said thank you. Shut door. Walked into living room and realised I wa holding signy thing and he has my remote control

I thought he'd realise and come back but it's nearly 9 o'clock when they finish for the day and he hasn't come back?

How do I get my remote control back? I emailed yodel to explain an got a automated reply saying my parcel has been delivered and signed for?

Yes I know that but you've got my remote control, wankers, and I can't change the channel without hassle

i can't stop laughing especially the bit about now having the box but the control going out the door as the box came in so its no use anyway.

Fantastic!

Could the doodah work your box?

Unlucky. Bet you wish it was a big ceramic cockerel after all

how can he have gone all day and not noticed he has your remote? He obviously doesn't get his dooda out often enough!

My husband is looking at me pityingly as I cry with laughter. You have made my night!

littlemisswise I know?

Just going to join in the innuendo for a moment

My remote control is long and slim his dooda was short and stubby with dangley bits

Oh this is great. I'm -ing at "sign-y doodah"

How can he not have noticed he no longer has his sign-y doodah???

Sorry but this is the most hilarious thread ever. We have three Virgin Box doodahs and I'm pretty sure they work on different boxes. Do you have more than one box?

I love this thread.

Are you sure they didn't send you a new remote in the box?

So just to summarise: yodel man slipped the op his doodah which caused the op to lose control and all she's left with is a useless box with a doodah that does nothing for her.

Tis tragic.

Actually crying!!!

Dp and I are both crying laughing at this

I used to work with someone who would insist on giving the delivery man's doodah a going over with an alcohol wipe before she would hold it. So think on.

DS was asleep on my chest until my laughing woke him up!!!

Hilarious OP!!!

Am actually laughing out loud at this thread.

Nothing rational to add but this has made my night DH and I are both crying with laughter, especially at the idea of people pretend signing with a remote control. I have actual tears here!

One for classics MNHQ!

The driver must have noticed - how could he not?!

Could you just ring Virgin and ask for a new remote? That has to be a lot easier than trying to communicate with Yodel!

they didn't even include a plug in the box JosiePosie it's just a box.

A box with a little spanner.

I'll post a pic of the plastic spanner and box sans remote control if you don't believe me!

not place marking at all

I can just imagine the phone call to Virgin -

Please could I have another remote as the Yodel man stole mine & left me his Doodah

Was laughing hard enough anyway , then came across the "baby hiding behind a Muslim " post and am crying now.

I hope you get your doodah back

Is it in the same place as your mojo?
