Ladies how long should I keep your panties in my home?

FWIW, I had always heard that forgetting something at someone’s house indicated a subconscious desire to return there.

But I don’t know how one could forget one’s panties. I’d be thinking about my crotch all day, which would make me horny, which would make me want Zen101 again, etc., etc. A vicious cycle, indeed.

So you can’t go without, and you can’t put the dirty ones back on. What to do? What to do? All in all, a good argument for not spending the night. Go home commando, grab a shower and a change of clothes so your co-workers don’t know what you’ve been up to, and book a conference room for a nap.

Attempting to return the panties is hazardous, as a friend of mine recently found out. He washed a pair and offered them to his then-girlfriend. “You left you panties here,” he said.

“Those aren’t mine!” she said. Hilarity ensued.

I’d be far more uncomfortable at the prospect of you* finding them kicked under the bed than at the idea of either carrying or (gasp) wearing them home. There would have to be some extenuating circumstances for me to leave them. Say for example, I couldn’t reach the chandellier on my own and didn’t want to wake you.

And now my very late answer to the OP. Tossing them was the right way to go. If it isn’t the sort of relationship where you’re confident that the panty owner will be back around in a day or two no need to have them lying about.

We took a used dresser off of our neighbor’s hands, and when we were reassembling it, we found a bra stuck in the works. I suggested we take it back, and my wife pointed out that it might not be Tammy’s…

We tossed it.

Too bad you threw them out, I was going to suggest going to Victoria’s Secret, dumping them on the counter and say "hey, I want to exchange these…or “these give me wedgies…”

Heh… If he had moth balls I do not think he would be able to amass so many panties… get it… moth balls…

will this day ever end?

Zen- do you have any bras? I lost a bra once…

I was going to say: Photograph them individually and put up a “Are These Your Panties?” web site.

(Compile the responses, call it a socialogical experiment, and apply for a grant.)

If you are still in stock of quite a few, you could always set up a box by the door and force any caller to take a pair when they leave…

Take a few pair with you every day and leave one or two everywhere you go - on the bus, in the toilet, restaurants…

Or next Halloween, fold them into a shape, tape them to a stick and make trick-or-treat prezzies of them :smiley:
