Teenager finds bat asleep in bra
A teenager who thought movement in her underwear was caused by her vibrating mobile phone found a bat curled up asleep in her bra.

Abbie Hawkins, 19, of Norwich, had been wearing the bra for five hours when she plucked up the courage to investigate.

When she did, she found a baby bat in padding in her 34FF bra. The hotel receptionist said she was shocked but felt bad for removing the “cuddly” bat. “It looked cosy and comfortable and I was sorry for disturbing it,” she said.

She was sitting at her desk at work when she decided to investigate the strange movements in her underwear.

"I put my hand down my bra and pulled out a cuddly little bat

"That shocked me very much at the time, but it scuttled off under the desk into the dark. I was shaking from head to toe.

"It looked quite cosy and comfortable in there so it was quite rude of me to take it out.

"When I realised it was a bat the first thing that occurred to me was how did it get in there.

"I felt quite sorry for it. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home.

I did not notice anything as I put my bra on. The night before I had had one or two drinks and I was getting ready quickly.

"The bra was in my drawer but it had been on the washing line the day before.

“When I was driving to work, I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket.”

The bat was captured by one of her colleagues and released.

I want to be a bat!

Okay, so I may not have been blessed with knockers nuclear, but I think I’d notice a small furry mammal crawling around in my unmentionables.

I noticed that too, so of course I had to find a version of the story with a photo: http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=209737&in_page_id=2

Hey, look, there’s a bird down there, too. I think it’s Victoria’s egret.

The look on her face is the EXACT look I would have when encountering a pair of 34FFs.

Or possibly a booby, or a pair of great tits, etc. and so on. Although the Metro’s prop looks about the size of a baby pterodactyl. I think she’d have noticed that pretty quickly.

I’m relieved to hear that I’m not the only person who immediately went trawling for photos.

Judging from the picture, I think the whole thing is a publicity stunt; it would have been more effective if she were just holding the bra at about waist level while showing us how the bat looked all snuggled in there.

That is my new favorite line and dare I say band name?

I just KNEW there’d be a Dope thread on this story once I saw it on the BBC website. A cute critter, boobies, and a touch of the bizarre: the Doper trifecta. Thanks for being so predictable, everyone.

And yeah, I also wondered how you could NOT notice a live animal in your underwear, however small the creature. As well as the jumbo-economy-size knockers, I think the answer may lie in the phrase “The night before I had one or two drinks.” Assuming “one or two” to be the understatement it usually is.

Okay, you owe me a new keyboard!

“I think you ought to let me have a rummage around in there to see if there are any more. Also I think we should make a precautionary check of your other undergarments for anything furry”

[Kythereia]

Ow, her poor back.

That said, if she’s willing to let the bat live there and give it a good home, I think she should start taking up rent collections…

@Kythereia

Ow, her poor back.

My thoughts exactly. And at 19. Odd how the guys react differently…

I heard some teenage boys say that once at the library and I thought it was hilarious - “Look at that! She’s got knockers nuclear!” I told my boyfriend and he said “It’s okay, there’s nothing to be ashamed of knockers conventional.”

But I will say that she had on a very supportive bra. Although if I were her, unless I were planning a career involving not wearing many articles of clothing, I’d consider having them reduced at some point. They may be nice and perky now and inviting for little bats to come hide out next to, but in 20 years she’s going to need a power shovel to hold them up.

I’m wondering why a 34FF needs padding. :eek:

@ENugent

I’m wondering why a 34FF needs padding. :eek:

It’s light padding that makes the whole lot more firm. That, and it prevents the nipples from poking through clothes. Some guys may like the view, but most girls would rather not.

[ENugent]

“Light padding” thick enough to hold a bat? My bras aren’t padded at all and I’m currently a 38H (but I’m breastfeeding).
