My practical theory is that people drop it from their basket or bag when they're going to do laundry, but really I think there must be a more fun explanation.

I once saw a wool hat taped to a streetlight; someone had stapled a sign on it that said, "Free Lice." There are several laundromats in my area, so I think that the clothes might be from people who accidentally drop them when they're carrying their laundry bags in/or out.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-12907867014764588982011-04-06T17:30:27.522-07:002011-04-06T17:30:27.522-07:00I haven't run across any underwear, but I did ...I haven't run across any underwear, but I did see a lone shoe in the road on my way home from work, it made me think of you, Tawna. :) <br /><br />Related to the underwear, I was walking/stomping across the lot at work the other day in my five ton work boots and noticed a dryer sheet flapping out the bottom of my pant leg.

I remember you posted a forlorn sock in a tree a while back. My guess is that either there is a very pissed-off dresser somewhere who is vomiting out clothes into the air, which get caught in the wind and blown all over your zip code, or a bandit is snatching the contents of people's underwear drawer in the middle of the night and those are the remnants that fall out of his bag during his flight from police. <br /><br />Or, it could be a laundry mishap. <br /><br />But I'm going to go with the delicates-vomiting dresser/panty bandit theory. :DShelley Wattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441028066774362849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-72588922741032007432011-04-06T12:18:16.227-07:002011-04-06T12:18:16.227-07:00Several years ago, my family was walking along a s...Several years ago, my family was walking along a sidewalk at a popular amusement park when we saw a woman ahead of us drop something. Ever the helpful person, my mom reached down, picked up the object and cried, "Ma'am, I think you dropped something."<br /><br />It was RIGHT at that moment that we all realized the object was a pair of, um, stout, granny panties. <br /><br />I don't know who was more shocked--the dropper or the picker-upper. The lady claimed they weren't hers, and we let her lie pass, but my whole family watched them hit the ground.DrCarrieThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360013081404711133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-23847020821183864742011-04-06T12:10:10.101-07:002011-04-06T12:10:10.101-07:00Well, little voice from the third world, around he...Well, little voice from the third world, around here it would not stay on the sidewalk long, because someone would find a use for it.Christina Aurethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717036758785519912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-32182130260972205082011-04-06T11:59:49.924-07:002011-04-06T11:59:49.924-07:00I DO know what he did with the thong!

My husband came very close to carrying a lacy thong off to work in his pants one day. Try explaining that to the guys when it falls out in a meeting.<br /><br />That theory doesn't work for the boxers, though. I'm pretty sure you'd notice a spare pair hitching a ride.<br /><br />For that one, I have to go with the idea that they were abandoned after some tragic occurrence like hurking in one's underwear. But that seems unlikely.
