...who does the morning paper boxer short/towel challenge?

That is, if you get a paper home delivered, in the morning when you rise from your slumber, you immediately go out the front in your boxers and pickup the newspaper, or if you've had your morning shower, your towel.

It's like a little game. Will anyone drive past? Will any of the neighbours see you? How far is the paper away? Can you see the paper from inside your security door, so you don't waste valuable seconds searching for the thing?

Surely I'm not the only one who gets stung by the cool Morning Melbourne breeze on my chest as I embark down the cold concrete stairs for yet another paper run?

However, maybe the biggest challenge is when you return inside with your paper. How the hell do you get plastic off?

It's a ritual people. Who else shares it? 'Fess up!

I collect it after I've had my shower and get dressed, don't ahve any hot neighbours so theres no point advertising.

The plastics a bastard, the smart arse kids around here some times put an extra couple of layers on, very annoying.

You should try doing it in Canberra in the winter fff ing hell it's cold, you just got to get there and back quick. Dont have the ten layers of wraping problem but have the inch thick frost problem which is annoying.

 

[Nic]

We have a fence. A tall fence.

 

[Lethal]

Used to do it when we got the paper delivered. And we have a rather open front yard too.

 

[happy_in_hell]

I'm more the mocco's and dressing gown type of guy.

Hate it when the plastic isn't wrapped around the entire paper so you get a soggy end.

Is that how you get off

I do it regularly

 

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

used to always do it when we would get the paper home delivered sometimes would go out there in me bra too hehe until the 65 year old man across the road happened to be outside getting his paper at the same time in just his towell and flashed us never again

 

[jefffff34]

I just go out in my PJ's if it ain't already inside. The wonders of living in a court.

 

[dr nick]

if i did that id spend too long outside freezing my arse off. i swear our paperboy is the worst shot. sometimes i wont even find the paper till the next day coz its buried deep within some shrub.

 

[Dogwatcher]

Hitters,
that's a very funny thread - I considered it myself the other day.
I do it every weekend, because for me the ritual of the weekend paper is getting to read it in bed.
So straight out there in the boxers or briefs, grab the paper - if I can't hear a car coming it's a nonchalent stroll, if not it's the almost peeping tom like scuttle back inside.
My boss drove past while I was doing it one weekend, very funny.

 

[Mocca]

Yeah, dressing gown! That's the one.

Actually, I've taught the dog to do it, which is handy. But on Saturday mornings when he's still in bed (lazy sh|t) and I need the formguide, it's the dressing gown run.

Now it's summer, it's shorts and white, hairy chest for the neighbours.

LOL!! yes, for sure! It must be a NSW thing or something

I do the dash in the PJ's ... if i waited until I actually got changed, it could be a while - I love a morning bludge! lol

 

[PowerGirl36]

Haha good thread. I've done it a quite few times in my pj's to get the local paper...usually I walk out casually and end up running back inside

Hehehe that is very good. I was thinking the same thing

 

[GoEagles]

Your not alone Hitters!

If I have an early start at uni I'm normally the one who gets the paper. I normally go out with a shirt and boxers, half asleep, head down, making sure no dogs have crapped on the lawn or near the paper, try and unwrap the plastic, flatten it out so it's not all bent and scrunched up, walk back inside, throw the paper on the table and make brekkie.

You seem to be under the impression that I'm some sort of nymphomaniac.

 

[ant]

Hmmm.....I dunno about the boxer shorts/towel challenge, but I regularly go out and get the paper prior to having styled by hair. It doesn't sound like much, but I'm usually kinda finicky about my hairdo and as such, trying to avoid anyone seeing me is a must

 

[ozzult]

I usually wake up too late to get the paper, but the postie comes at about 11, and I do it with the mail often.

Is it bad form to get your paper from the driveway in your dressing gown (sans boxers) at 3pm?
