Practical joke goes bad

MOTHERTRUCKER

Help please,

To start with i'm a man.
:cool:
I was in TKmax recently, doing the usual scrounging, and while i was
walking past the ladies lingere section (Honestly - nothing weird) i seen a pair of Ladies underware, Knickers.
size 20. There were huge!!!:eek:
Then i had a brain wave for a practical joke, they were pretty nice material and only cost E1.50. They looked designer but i wouldn't know. I threw them in the basket and bought them. Even though i did get some funny looks at the till, i still thank god the checkout girl didn't call out for a price check over the mic.
:eek:
Anywho, the following Friday night my friend picked me up at my house to go football training as he does everyweek. Mind you this is my "bestfriend"
i was his bestman at his wedding 3 years ago, so when he wasn't looking i took out the knickers (less tags) and put them in the passengers door, (little compartment in the door). Mission complete, succesfull practical joke, now just wait and see.

Anyhow, Sunday night he came round my house in an awful state. Himself and the missus had a huge fight and she threw him out of the house.
They had been going out for lunch that day and she seen them lifted them up, and said "who the hell are these?".
"Because i know for sure they aren't mine" (She's quite petite - prob size 8)
He was dumb founded!! "I don't know who's they are? or how they got there".

So here he is telling me all this, and i couldn't hold it in anymore!
I nearly wet myself laughing!!! It was me, i cryed! I put them there as a practical joke. Hook, line and sinker!

Well he looked releaved at the time, he made me call his wife to shed some light on the mystery of where the knickers came from. But she didn't believe me. I know your his bestfriend she said and you'd do anything for him, i didn't think you'd stoop this low to take the heat off him.

So this is it. Its now Wednesday and they are still seperated! He won't talk to me, he's staying with one of the lads.
What in gods name have i done! I have no receipt to prove i bought them.
Should i stand back, if she doesn't trust him thats there problem!
Do you think this was too much for a practical joke?
Anyone i tell thinks i was crazy to do it in the 1st place?

Poor mothertrucker you have some serious making up to do. Did u know they were having problems before you did the practical joke?

chamlis

Oh dear.

But seriously though, if she's so convinced that he did it and you're covering for him, there are deeper more serious issues here I think. She seems like she was expecting something like this to happen.
As a practical joke, I think it's harmless. Any well adjusted couple would agree I think.

DonkeyStyle \o/

Do you think this was too much for a practical joke?

If the guy was single: no.
If he's in a relationship: I wouldn't risk it.
But it's easy to say that now with hindsight I suppose.

Maybe you could ask TKmax for a copy of their security footage (if they still have it) to prove it... it's a long shot I know, but if it's a deal-breaker for their marriage, it's something to try at least.
I'm sure the security guys would get a great laugh out of it... I know I'd help you if I were a security guard with access to the cctv footage... though I'm not sure what their regulations are about keeping this footage ultra-private.

You need to sort this out. Stepping back from it is the worse thing you can do. Do you still have the tags? And have you made sure you don't have the receipt? Or even the bag you got in the shop? You need to talk to her and plead for her to believe you. I'd find it difficult to believe my husband too over something like this.

You crossed a line, and all you can do now is find a way so that she believes you. If you were going to play such a stupid practical joke, at least you could have kept the tags or something in case it backfired. You have been a really bad friend. Its not her problem that she doesn't trust her husband. She found another woman's underwear in his car. Its only his best friend sticking up for him. Of course she's upset!

You could point out that the underwear is clean though, and obviously never been worn. Get round there pronto. And get it sorted. Its the least you can do

Miss Fluff

You brat!!:eek:
Was anyone with you when you bought them? Can anyone back you up?
Only thing is, they are new knickers, does his wife still have them? If he was up to anything surely the panties in question would have been worn. Ahem.:rolleyes:
I agree with Chamlis though, any couple secure enough in their marriage would be able to laugh it off for the joke that it is.

LegacyUser

OP call around to his wife and explain in person what you did.

Show her the receipt or tags if you still have them

If not go to TXmax with her and find the check out girl, the fact you willing to go down there in first place with the wife shows you arent covering and did carry out a joke

projectmayhem

that was hilarious.

seriously though, maybe going alone to talk to the lady in question here to tell her it really was a joke heart-to-heart might do some good. but i would agree with the sentiment already expressed that being kicked out for that is a bit much... so there may be some other issues here...

Hobart

Email her a link to this thread, and tell her to loosen the sphincter. If that doesn't work, go out with your mate, get pissed and have a good laugh.

Victor

Go back to TKmax, ask to speak to the manager. Explain the situation. They just might be able to print a duplicate receipt. I don't know what date it will have though.

Noelie

haven't you gotten the reciept for them?? or even the tags, that would prove you bought them.

~Leanne~

Do you not have the tags off them or the receipt?

dats_right

I love a practical joke as much as the next man, but you went way too far. You need to call around and see his wife personally and make her believe you, that is the very least you can do. You should grovel and crawl and persist until she sees sense. Then you need to grow up, if it was me I would cut you as a friend so fast , but maybe your friend is more forgiving than me.

In short YOU caused this problem and you should do whatever it takes to solve it. I do wonder what planet people are on sometimes though? All those ridiculous suggestions of trying to get a duplicate receipt, trying to locate the check out girl, etc. That's all laughable! You need to talk to his wife and make her see sense.

Tusky

You cant just step back from this situation. Go back to the shop, speak to the manager and explain to him you need another receipt.

I wish it was that easy!
But they are a great couple, i love them! they are my closest friends.
No i don't have any receipts or tags, and i was shopping alone.
This is another fine mess i've gotten myself into...........

I think the reason she's taken this to heart so much is that she's quite a petite woman, with small breasts and is very insecure about her body, i have heard her talk before about if she had money she would love a "boob job". "Not Jordan but just 1 cup larger" are her exact words.
whenever we were out altogether on a night out she'd always catch her "husband" looking at big breasted women, at give him a few slaps in a joking manner.
So i can only presume that she thinks he has to go elsewhere to get satisfied or she has nothing to offer him.

I know this is no excuse! But women out there if this happened to you would it matter what size the knickers were. what if they were a size 22 or even a size 6.

Because i just taught it would be a funny practical joke not send this woman into some frenzied state of paranoia!!

At the end of the day no woman would want to find any knickers at "ALL" in her husbands car.

giggles

I can understand why your friends wife is upset - you didn't think that joke through did ya???

How did you pay? If it was by credit or laser card then you'll be able to get a record of the purchase - it may not say exactly what you bought, but it's a start.

You really need to sort this out - Talk to your friends wife, she may not want to listen initially, but don't give up!. The more effort you put in, the more she may realise you are telling the truth rather than covering up for your friend.

Good Luck!

cork-langer

hilarious! absolutely brilliant! i'm running to my nearest penneys!

You didnt go too far.. thats comedy people.

Listen, if he has a chick that is a size 8. why would his gf think he is going off with a woman of monumental proportions (that has clean knickers might i add)?

Also mail on this thread to his gf and tell her to loosen up goddammit!

okidoki987

Size 20 :eek:
What does she think he was sha***ng an ELEPHANT?

Magic Pips

First of all... my opinion... genius! LOL class man, note to self do this to my mate!

Second of all... it is their marriage, and going to TKmaks is the least you can do. Security guards, manager, check out girl- anything.

Third of all... im gonna throw this out there... if you dont like it... send it on back... ....... maybe the practical joke is on you, and they arent fighting at all!! <<< NOW THAT WOULD BE CLASS!

But i'd air on the side of caution, and make amends, PRONTO!

Kersh

This might help, even though you dont have a receipt, I may be able to help. my gf is one of the managers in TK maxx in Swords. She knows every bit of stock that goes through the door there and all the staff, im sure the checkout girl noticed a panty sniffer buying size 20 knickers one day.. . If it was Swords, when did you buy them, pm me some info... if its not Swords, you are pretty much dead!!

LegacyUser

U have to be a proper penis to do that to those people.
Now ... U (YES - U) find a way to fix it.

Setun

Lmao, brilliant.

Major overreaction imo, but you've really got to sort it out. Talk to the wife on her own and get some sense into her, she's being a tad ridiculous.

Updates plz

secret_squirrel

Its a shame she's so insecure, but I'm afraid its up to you to fix things.

Do all the suggestions above.

Can you also go back and see if there is an identical pair in TK's. It might help you prove your case.

whatsupdoc?

is an identical pair in TK's

2 size 20's
Where do TK Max think they are, America?

Eggonaspoon

Well yeah, you fcuked up badly. But never mind that, you should try and sort it out immediately!!!

Explain it over and over again to her. Point out your friend is not staying with you. Do whatever it takes. Sure you don’t have a receipt or something? Otherwise you could take her to the store you bought the underwear and show her. Perhaps she will believe you cause how else would you know where to find it?! (Or does she know you like to look at lingerie in your free time )

wyndham

Where are the knicks now? It must be fairly obvious that they are new and unworn. Get her to sniff them..;)

bluto63

First thing you gotta do is talk to her. If she still doesn't believe you, check the underpants, they should be new. If she STILL doesn't believe you, then bring her down to TKMax and try to get a view of the security cameras/receipts. But you have to do something at least. You were the one that caused this

aidan24326

ffs the wife needs to cop on here pretty fast. Serious over-reaction.

I so want to high-five the OP.

Do you still have the reciept? If so, pop over to her house, and present the reciept, and apoligise.

This is what you call a tragic comedy...

Good suggestion Unreg, if you do not have the receipt or tags. It was odd, so the check out girl might just remember.

by the sounds of it she is looking for and excuse for a bit of drama...
ya know spice up the marriage, nothing like a split to get all her girlfriends around giving her loads of attention and sympathy...

if i was him i would take the high ground and be disgusted that she would even thing that he would do such a thing...

tell him to milk the situation, after all he is in the right,

Psygnosis

Thats is probably one of the funniest things I have read this year. Defo want to high five the OP, hmmmm who could I get with this joke.

MOTHERTRUCKER

The latest update:

I was at football training last night and i was talking to my "friend?" about how the situation is going.
He tells me it has gotten dramatically worse. She was sorting out all his clothes putting them into bags to give to him so he can have clothes for work etc. (He's now living with his sister).
They live in a 2 bed appartment, so she was in the spare room taking clothes out of his wardrobe, when she came across his collection of porn magazines and dvds.

Now the situation is completely out of my control, i don't see anything wrong with having porn but hiding it from your girlfriend is questionable?
She has flipped out big time. When he called around for his clothes she threw them at him and told him "Is there anything else your hiding from me?"

She's completely paranoid! He loves her to bits!

I started laughing when he told me all this, so he squared up to me and boxed me in the side of the head.
For gods sake man who punches people in the side of the head. Then he walked off.
I've known this chap since primary school and he's never been in a fight in his life. Really not the agressive type at all.
I let it go!
Maybe i deserved a black eye or some physical injury so i could go around to his wife and say look, He's furious with me. I done it. Relax! He loves you, forgive me!

But i don't have any injury! Just a sore head.
And now she's found his porn she'd kill me if i went around.

To the person who asked "Maybe the practical joke is on me, and that they are having me on"

I wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\m/_(>_<)_\m/

he should be shaking your hand, she sounds like a bunny boiler...
tell him walk away... no tell him run and never look back

she is a psycho woman, keep well back... she could go postal at any moment.

Come on. It was a practical joke.:)

It was a joke for gods sake.
I,m legendary for winding people up, it wasn't my fault.

Another practical joke that back fired on me was about 6 years ago.
There is this old man that drinks in my local pub. He was turning 70. He's a grumpy auld lad always complaining and whining about every little thing in the news. Painful to listen to at the best of times. Everybody knows him and pays no attention to him because he'll always start an arguement.
A bit like the charcter on Harry Enfield & Chums. Quote "You don't wanna do that"
So on the night of his birthday (we all knew it was his birthday but he didn't know we knew) at about 10 o clock we dimmed the lights in the pub and out came one of the barmen with a big cake all lit up with candles.
Everyone started to sing happy birthday. Then i looked at him as he started to cry. He was estatic. Smiles all round.
Then as he began cutting into the cake everyone started laughing, we had bought fresh cream and covered an old cement block with it and chopped up a kiwi and strawberry for decor.
I was gutted with his reaction to it.
I think the man is dead now, i still feel guilty about the joke.
But it was all in good fun.:)

Another time i smashed a glass bottle in a plastic bag, then moved my bosses car out of the car park and emptied the contents of the bag all around where his car was parked.
He came out and taught his car had been stolen :eek: , the laugh we had as he was about to call the Gardai.

What is the best practical joke anyone has ever pulled off successfully?
Because i think after this incodent i should retire.

my thoughts exactly. quit bragging about how 'funny' you are, and go try and sort out your best freind's marriage .....

You don't sound very repentant for ruining a couple's life. Smells of troll to me.

If this isn't a troll, you are a moron. Not for pulling the joke - but for the way you are acting now. Why are you wasting your time online trying to get a clap on the back when you could be off doing something to undo the havoc you've caused? Grow up.

Nevyn

No sympathy what so ever.
You are like a child who acts on impulse and never considered the consquences of your actions.
You are responsible, you can not get light to a fuse and turn your back and ignore the explosion and the descruction you caused.

You have most likely ruined a marriage and two people lives.
You threw the pebble that started this avalaunce.

While I do no condone your friend ( indeed some friend you are, grow up ) striking you, if you had torn my life a sunder I certainly would not be talking to you.

You need to accept you are responsible for starthing this all of and you need to make amends the soon the better before this is too late.

comer_97

it all sounds pretty fake to me.

Hey, Listen!
firstly i'm at work.
Secondly i didn't do anything! A situation arose and if people can't deal with them in the correct manner, thats life!
I've explained umpteen times to her that it was me. I,ve begged and pleaded. You know people make their own decisions in life, i can only state the facts to her.
Thirdly if you think i'm a "moron" or a "troll" for having a sense of humour thats ok.
I'm not going into name calling!

What more can i do to help my friends?
I've tryed everything, maybe she doesn't want him anymore, maybe this is her gate out of that life?
I cannot make their minds up for them.
When i said "does anyone not have any sympathy for me" i'm not looking for
a pat on the back, i'm wondering can anyone see this from my point of view?

I,m beginning to think this was just the straw that broke the camels back and they were having problems anyhow.

Maybe Jerry Springer can help them.
