[Closed] Someone's been wearing my trousers

I left my work trousers in the shower room on Thursday as I cycled home, then Friday was jeans day so they stayed there over the weekend and I wore jeans on my way to work this morning. Came to put my trousers on and there was a dead holly leaf in the trouser pocket, and a receipt from Cafe Ritazza on Reading station dated Thursday. I haven't been there for months, and the last four digits are none of my cards.

What the hell?

Very strange.
Mine leave here all the time, and yet to have anybody else wearing them.
I think..

I shouted at someone for using my towel. Grr.
I had a shirt stolen from the changing rooms once too. Blue one it was. Never saw anyone wearing it.

Wearing the trousers though, that's odd. You should wash them before wearing them yourself or it'll feel weird.

Maybe someone's stuck things in your pockets to freak you out.

In which case, it appears to be working.

This sounds like the beginning of a elaborate and flimsy alibi.

I went to the changing rooms the other day and found that someone had worn and laundered the backup shirt I keep stashed there then put it back on top of my bag.

Very strange.

Its a fair cop. It was me. It was a long train journey once I'd seen on the CCTV that you'd left them. But it was worth it for the feeling of elasticated polyester against my naked arse as I experienced Readings legendary Cafe Society. I regret nothing!!!

Used to work with a right moaning old bugger, proper Daily Mail reader. We used to buy a daily sport just to pop inside his paper (honest guv'nor!) at the end of the day, just before he headed for home to his super strict christian wife.... 😀

Only from me.

Just checked again, the receipt is from nearly lunchtime on Thursday, when I was wearing the trousers. So someone's definitely put them in there to spook me. Or - they are not in fact my trousers, and someone else has the exact same trousers and belt combo.

Or - perhaps the holly leaf was the delivery vector for a powerful mind altering drug that caused me to hallucinate the memory of being at work all day and I was in fact doing something else. But the other stuff I did - was it controlled by someone else or something I had to do but have now forgotten about?

Some bugger stole my stash of work clothes for when I ride in which included a pair of trousers, a shirt, three pairs of grundags (two soiled), some arm warmers, warm jersey, 3/4 bibs and a gilet that I'd decided not to wear home one day because it was too warm and a nice pair of work shoes.

The real bugger was that I'd ridden in when I found out so I was stuck in lycra until the boss ordered me to take the pool car and go and get changed. Still no sign of the kit- it was left in our boiler room and no one knew it was there.

I think you're stretching the definition of "clothing" with at least half of that lot.

Isn't it always?

Strange one here. I drop my socks and boxers on the floor and they vanish, only to reappear in a drawer a day or two later.

Only at home though, not at work.

A freind once returned from a golfing holiday with a friend who had secreted an empty condom rapper in a jacket pocket of his that was then found by his wife.

Well that was his story anyway.

clearly someone shat themselves in work and nicked your trousers when they disposed of their soiled ones (which means they probably went commando).

OK, I like this game. See unattended clothing, slip random items into pockets.

Business cards would work well, although receipts are difficult to beat. Especially if you went to a shop a long way away and just bought jalapenos, latex gloves and bulldog clips. I like the condom-foil idea. Hairclips on the jacket lapel too.

The holly leaf is very good. How about a dead beetle? Or a small, polished, river-pebble with a paint-mark on it? Napkin with a phone number for a lawyer's office in Budapest. Small picture of Jessica Alba climbing a tree. Foreign banknote with "Quiche" written on it in blue highlighter. Lock of hair tied up with ribbon. Little tin of vaseline with a flower pressed into it. Some cloves, spray-painted orange. Dolls swimwear.

Watch out for your trousers...

🙂

More than you realise.. we write the software that runs your world.. unless you use only cash or barter, and hoard valuables under your bed.. which might be the case given this is STW.

Anyone know where BigDummy works?

Well I'm not sure he works there, so much as "resides" there, IYKWIM.
