Pretty indicative thread title the question revolves around this phenomenon: I have a lot of underwer that isn’t mine. Almost as much as my own personal underwear. For some reason women leave their underwear here a lot. I’d say one out of five guests deposits a pair in my underwear bank. I don’t request it, I don’t wash it, I don’t like to touch it (a whole issue all it’s own I’m sure). I just sort of kick it into the back of the closet where there is a pile of I guess a dozen pairs, plus or minus three pair. Obviously I don’t maintain contact with all of these visitors, but of the ones I do I can’t see myself asking them to dig through the panties to figure out which are theirs.
So should I thrown them out? Find a pervert online and sell them?
Do they make pretty colors when they burn? Can I make a douvet or a hammock? And more importantly why do I have all of these underwears? I never leavy my (well if I wore any) underwears when I go places. Sure women steal my t-shirts or my dress shirts, but thats not me leaving them. I’m confused by this. Someone tried to tell my that this was women unconciously “marking” me, this guy does not exactly get a lot of play so I’m credulous. Is this accurate, do I need to set my boundaries more firmly?
heh, no I live in my apartment. It’s my closet. And weather I do or don’t get any action isn’t important. I just want pany etiquitte and some reason why I’m left holding them.
Damn according to the post I think Zen’s getting alot of action. lets see do the mathe here:
1 in 5 women leave their panties
Zen said he has damn near as much panties that he does of his own underwear. so I’m
gonna err on the side of caution and say that at the very least he has 7 pairs of underwear. so…
lets just say that he has 6 panties in his closet (since he stated that he almost had as many panties)
Find some especially colourful ones and wear them like bandannas. Grow your hair long and start listening to Cream and Buffalo Springfield. Smoke a lot of weed.
If you’re concerned enough about hygiene issues that you don’t want to touch them, the women are probably concerned enough that they don’t want them either, now that they’ve been piled in a heap with a lot of other women’s underwear. Toss them. Wear gloves.
Re: how long should I keep your panties in my home?
Oh, THAT’S where the the other side of wormhole under the couch is. I’m looking for a bunch of argyle socks that I have the mate to. Have you seen them?
(I’d say chuck 'em, what lieu said, it’s a marking thing. If you have a few FBs, and they are leaving stuff behind, they’re trying to ward away ‘trespassers’, or cause a fight between you and another FB)
Guy de Maupassant wrote a good short story related to this too. I can’t remember the name though. Basically, a man had two lovers who would visit his house. One of them left behind a hairpin attached to the mirror. The other noticing that it wasn’t hers, replaced it with one of her own. Sooner or later the women decided to meet and expose him. (If anyone remembers the name of the story I’d appreciate it)
How many different women: I’m sure that some of the pairs are from the same woman. I’m not the man just because I have sex with different women. I’m a lonely dysfunctional person who has an unusual career and fading good looks. Mainly I’m just screwed up which leads to clarification three…
Why sleep with women who’s panties you refuse to touch?: I don’t sleep with dirty women (well not hygenically dirty). My issue with panties is psychological. I won’t touch socks either and bought bowling shoes before ever bowling as an adult. Strangely I will eat hamburgers which have been left out overnight.
I think I will throw them all out tomorrow. I just don’t know how expensive they are and I hate throwing people’s stuff out. I even have a broken vacum cleaner my ex roomate left here two years back because he said he would pick it up.
Heh. Put all the underwear into the vacuum bag, then deliver it to your roommate, unzip the bag with a flourish and ask him “What in the hell is going on here?!?!”
