Nightmare Incident with Neighbour's Parcel- please sympathise and advise?

[BitOfFun]

I am not having any tea now after The Most Recent Incident

I don't think princessmel is saying it was vulgar, just replying to that poster, or that it wasn't funny though. But I admit it wasn't the most discreet turn of phrase- sadly i have become inured to words of that nature given how many times I seem to need to use them

Oh well, it seemed to have done the trick...

[princessmel]

Chill Jacksmama , I was replying to the poster named vulgar.

If you see my post on wednesday you'll see I though it was very funny..

grin bof!!!

[Jacksmama]

Whoops. Sorry!

[Jacksmama]

I got up on the grumpy side of the bed today.

[Vulgar]

Jacksmama- I DO think it is absolutely hilarious! I think
i would have be surprised if someone I didn't know that well used the word "shat"
Not offended in the slightest. just surprised . . and would have probably thought they said "sat" too.

Poor you! I might be naive but I think John Lewis are great and I really believe that if you tell them what's happenened they will immediately send your neighbours a new one and let you keep (or throw away) the old one. You need to phone rather than email though.

I would explain to the neighbours what's happened. If they're decent human beings they'll understand, presuming JL are sending them a new one. If they're mean then they need to get life into perspective and you've got enough to keep you busy without worrying about them.

Good luck!

Just realised that I only read the first page of this thread before recent posting and am completely out of date with goings on. Sorry!

[BitOfFun]

Do read the rest- it develops...

[PictureThis]

OMG, this has made me snort with laughter

[MrsTicklemouseWantsBunnyEars]

BoF lets be honest, you deliberately said shat in the hope she would hear sat

thank you for cheering me up after a crap day!

[Carulli]

Have now read all 13 pages - definitely the funniest thread for ages. Well done and thank you!

[BitOfFun]

Er....that is a slim possibility. Perhaps unconsciously?

A little bit of pee nearly came out when I was reading this. Hillarious.

[LongtimeinBrussels]

I was going to go to bed early(ish) tonight and came across this thread. 316 messages later and tears are rolling down my cheeks, and the early night has turned into a late one!

Thanks BoF !

[SoupDragon]

I hope you weren't sitting on someone else's pouffe at the time, Giraffes...

I love ScreamingEagle's suggestion that your neighbour might be half dog...

Has there been no come back yet? I suppose if she notices a smell in the next few days and she mentions it to you, you could come over all knowledgable and say "oh, it wouldn't be Moroccan leather would it? They make that out of camel dung and it's supposed to smell like that"

No, I suppose you couldn't really do that, could you?

[BitOfFun]

Well, I wouldn't have thought of it- but you've put the idea in my head now, so I won't be able to resist

[rainbowdays]

thank you for the laughs, will never look at a brown pouffe the same way again!

[chipmonkey]

How are you keeping?

[fuzzypicklehead]

Ok, so I'm very new here... But on the basis of this thread alone, I'd guess I'll be sticking around

[BitOfFun]

Glad to here it- sorry it wasn't more tasteful

[Cammelia]

Oh pish myshelf larfing

[TidyBush]

BOF - have been lurking on this brilliant thread since it started and I'm wondering if there has there been some comeback from your neighbour as my DH has just told me that someone on our local freecycle thingy is looking for a dark brown pouffe - it's you isn't it?
