glitter bombed, likely by BM

strugglingSM's picture

DH recently received a "glitter bomb" in the mail...an anonymous tube that spews glitter everywhere when opened. I wish I had opened the package, because I don't think I would have opened the anonymously sent tube. However, because DH's name was on it, he said 'what's this?" and then pink glitter was everywhere. It was sent by a company that allows you to send anonymous "pranks" to "your enemies." 

I am 99% certain that this came from BM because a) it was addressed to DH, so someone who intended to target him sent it; but b) it said "Merry Christmas DH and StrugglingSM", so it was sent by someone who also knew me or my name. Any other "enemies" DH might have would not know our address and my name. 

I told DH he is not to mention a word of this to anyone because if it was BM who sent it - and again, I'm 99% certain it was her, she will want to know that it bothered us.

Holy crap somebody actually got one of those, I mean sorry it sucks you got it, but I have never actually heard of anybody getting one. But yeah take that to the grave and make sure all those sparkly little pink bits are gone!

When Spawn turned 18 I so badly wanted to send Meth Mouth a box of dog sh*t but DH told me I couldn't! Party pooper!

Soooo... was it like a lot of gllitter.... the "never get rid of this crap" tiny glitter...worth the money to send one? Asking for a friend of course! 

ROFL

Sorry BM did it to you. I have been dying to send one to BM though!

I sent one to my sister for Mischief night.  I paid $3.99 more for triple the orange glitter.  LMAO!  It went everywhere.

She has all tile so it was easy clean up for her.

It was a lot of glitter. Since DH opened it over our counter, we had a pile of glitter on our counter, one of our counter stools was nearly covered, and glitter on the floor. DH used a shop vac, which picked up most of it, but there are still little flecks of it everywhere. He's planning to mop the floor today, but I'm sure we'll be finding it for a while.

If the kids spot any stray glitter I would be prepared to play up how funny you both found it and that you really enjoyed the surprise. Perhaps add that you were both inspired and are thinking of ways to add a little more sparkle to your lives now as it helped you both to remember to look on the bright side of life and enjoy yourselves.

See, I'd take the opposite approach, take photos and post how much fun the glitter bomb was. Maybe even comment how the glitter made for a fun, but interesting evening.

I’ve been soooooo tempted to send one of those to Skankula. 

“Here’s some candy to remind you of your favorite pastime, you wh0re...”

I wouldn't mention it. Any stray glitter can be attributed to wrapping paper. I know this because I bought DH a Christmas gift years ago and wrapped it in the most bee-yoo-tee-full red paper with red glitter. We STILL find bits of red glitter every now and again. This shizzit never goes away. 

Out of curiosity, what is listed for the Sender name/address? Asking for a friend of justmakingthebest's friend...

LOL, I have always fantasized about sending one to BM.  I'm sure she would know it was us though and I really don't want to waste money on BM.  I thought it would be awesome though.  I know there is a company that does this but I thought it would be funny to get a self help type book for narcs and fill it with black glitter and send it to her with no return address from a random post office no where near mine....

Sorry you were the recipient though!  I agree about not mentioning it all to the skids.  You know she is dying for a reaction of some kind.

I have fantasized about sending something like this to BM as well...she may receive something like this, but I will wait and plan a way to do it so she would think it was from someone else.

If there was a subscription for "parenting coaching", I would definitely sign her up.

There is a reason it is called the herpes of the craft world. I'll admit to day dreaming of doing this to BM, but I'm sure DH and/or I would be suspect #1. 

Hell, years ago she got some random email and assumed we signed her up for it (how to deal with anger issues type email subscription) and she signed DH up for ED emails.

Ugh! That sounds miserable! Smart call on telling DH not to talk to anyone though!!!

In other news... If you google isending glitter bombs... You can send a spingloaded tube of glitter shaped like dicks as well... Not that any of us would EVER use that on someone...

Yeah, I say tell the kids, "OMG, my good friend from college sent me and your dad a glitter bomb! So hilarious, we loved it!".  Then skid will tell BM.  

strugglingSM's picture

What I should do is tell SKids about it and tell them that we contacted the company and we know who sent it....that would make BM nervous.

BAD for environment.

But those funny poop grams is fair game...

Yup SD did that. Except she signed it from her and her baby. Then laughed and laughed. But funny thing is....I heard it in the card and opened it outside. It didn't go anywhere.  She completely wasted $10. She's an idiot. Your BM is an idiot. Both need to find something to do with their time.

I would talk about it in front of the skids but attributed to somebody else. I can just imagine how much it would burn up BM to not even get credit for her prank. Doing this would probably make sure out herself somehow!

While a lot of the ideas above are funny. Honestly I'd just ignore the wh0re.

I would talk about it in front of the skids but attributed to somebody else.

AND mention that you and DH thought it was the funniest thing, ever.

Back when Obesity magazine existed, someone sent Satan a free introductory subscription.  Dunno who.

An actual friend of ours sent one to DH one time about 5 years ago. He assumed it would be opened in the workshop, but DH opened it in the house. I was not a happy camper at the time, but now I think it’s kind of funny.
