Alright folks, so today I found a bra on the street. Pretty sure it was from a nearby house. So, what would you do? I'm thinking keep and claim as my own (risky).. buy the bra for myself (safer bet). But imagine if it hit the big score?
Till you find out it’s Steve’s from number 43 who has a thing for cream eggs.
Is the 43 where he lives or something to do with creme eggs?
Yes
You don't want to know what he can do with 43 creme eggs
99 things. Well, 100 if he wants to eat the fuckers.
God bless Alexi Sayle. Even if he’s not a believer.
Nobody wants to eat the fuckers once he’s done with them. 😨
There's a kink for everyone so don't be so sure there.
I think I read about that in The Sport once.
That was when he was getting started. He had 9 up there at the time 🤣🤣
It’s the 44th where it gets wild.
I heard he once coughed and blinded the postman.
4 in the biter, 3 in the sh*ter.
Maybe that's a win-win situation for OP, and OP will fall madly, truly, deeply in love 🙇♂️🥛🥚
AHAHAHA truly
Silver paper on or off?
Wouldn’t want them to melt too quickly!
the cup size looks more like the small chocolate buttons/frodo easter egg size than a cream egg
I’m just glad he’s finally moved on from the Choc Ices
Be careful, that plan could go tits up.
It's risky, but think about the perks.
Not to mention the mammaries you'll make along the way...
Booberella
It's a booby trap.
Booberella you shall go to the ball
If the bra do fit, you must putaringonit!!!
Lol this cracked me up 😂👏🏻
Sounds like a fairytale plan, just hope the shoe—or in this case, the bra—fits!
Her: Oh no sorry love, that's nowhere near big enough for me.
Him: [Drops to one knee] At last, I've found you!
Given the size and style it'll belong to a middle aged ogre, more one of the ugly sisters than cinderella
Your mum
A timeless response
Leave it where it is,think it's a "booby trap"

Underrated comment.
Under wired comment!
Cool story bra.
What an extremely relevent picture
how is this so perfect for this comment
Honestly the best comment I’ve seen on Reddit.
Look harder
Do better
Nah. Happy to take the downvotes. I’m still laughing at it.
You've offended aaaall the other comments by what you said. Reddit's gone silent now because they've gone to angrily write themselves down in their diaries about this injustice. Are you proud of yourself?
Honestly, worth it. Cool story bra is amazing.
Reddit being Reddit
Cool Starry Bra is better
Honestly everyone just sees a downvoted comment and dogpiles on it, you probably only actually upset a couple of people
You shouldn't be buying bras. Statistically, only the poorest in society buy them. Instead you should put the £20 in to a 10% investment account for 40 years.
I did this. Now my bank balance is so hefty it needs two bras
Now that's what you call a wealth of support!
Standard advice from r/UKPersonalFinance
Anything with flavour? wasteful, rice and a pinch of salt only otherwise you're wasting money that could be invested.
Nah that's r/FIREUK.
My brain still keeps rebelling against the idea that any of the people on their are serious and insists the whole thing must be satirical.
"The first step is you need to make a lot of money"
"What's the next step?"
"Put it in a savings account with a high interest rate"
"Okay but the interest rate still seems pretty low how do I get enough money to make that worth anything"
"Make more money or save more money"
"But I'd ideally also like to still have the occasional nice thing for a balanced lifestyle up to that point"
"STOP BEING FRIVOLOUS YOU WHORE TO CAPITALISM"
It's definitely not every conversation on those subs, but you do see it a fair amount haha
That's because you've misunderstood how this works.
The point is not to save everything you earn (although, I guess, some people do that), the point is to save as much as you reasonably can, as early as you can. And then let compound returns do their job.
Very few people can afford to save 70-80% of their income, but at the same time a lot of people not yet on a FIRE path can cut their spending a bit without feeling the difference. Don't spend everything you have, find a balance.
And the RE part doesn't mean "retire when you're 30 with barely any disposable income", those people are over at /r/LeanFireUK. Regular FIRE is about retiring at any point before pension age.
If you look at /r/FIRE or /r/FIREUK posts, a lot of the people who have been doing this for a while just don't care any more. Their savings are automated, they don't track their budgets or assets daily. Those people will retire whenever. No pressure.
You mean they are abreast of their financial situation?
Once you've done it for a few years you don't even have to monitor your finances. Just check your net worth every so often to see how far along you are, once you reach the magic number you need to retire - go for it.
My point was that the public and the media think FIRE hopefuls are all a bunch of misers, but in reality a couple on £60k each won't even have to limit themselves in any meaningful way, provided they've started a few years before having kids (or work a few extra years).
To be fair, a couple on £60k each is already well above average
I agree, about 50% (or more) above average. But the comment above said that FIRE if for people who think that "rice and a pinch of salt only otherwise you're wasting money that could be invested" - which clearly isn't the case. It's mostly professionals on above average incomes who can save somewhat easily.
Yeah no totally agree, just wanted to point it out
Unfortunately a lot of people on the subs are not on above average incomes and still think they can FIRE somehow. Mostly by sacrificing anything and everything that would make life even remotely enjoyable. I wonder what these people are going to even do when they retire? Go back to work because they're bored?
That's because you've misunderstood how this works.
The point is not to save everything you earn (although, I guess, some people do that),
Doesn't sound like they've misunderstood anything then? You don't get to write off those people as fringe extremists who don't represent FIRE. Hell, this is the first paragraph from the most upvoted post this month:
I just want to preface this post by acknowledging that the way I live my life would be extremely depressing, boring and a waste for most people, but I'm just here to explain that if you are like me, it can be done.
There's no misunderstanding, this is what most people on the subreddit think is the gold standard
Please, one guy with extremely low expenses going for early retirement on a minimum wage job is not representative of most people. It was the most upvoted post because it is so unusual.
People are tired of the "[Update] My progress towards £3m with a £120k salary (same for my wife) and no kids" cliche. Everyone can do that, posts like this aren't notable or interesting.
Shhhhhh don't tell everyone or else everyone will do it and we end up poor again.....
If you even think of getting a car with more than 3 out of 4 wheels you're going to end in financial ruin.
That's one stereotype I agree with.
People waste money buying more expensive cars than they need, and then those cars spend most of their existence parked. Regular hatchbacks and estates should be enough for almost anybody who is ok with five seats.
Obviously, if you really drive a lot - go for it. But according to the stats most of the UK doesn't really drive much and half of the cars trips probably shouldn't even be done by car considering how short they are.
If people want to spend their money on something they get enjoyment out of, let them have at it, leased or bought for cash.
A lot of people like to enjoy the life they have, and part of that comes from a having a nice, comfortable car.
If people want to spend their money on something they get enjoyment out of, let them have at it
I agree in general, but cars are a bit weird in that many people underestimate how much they would cost overall. It's not entirely their fault - car marketing and sales are notoriously deceptive.
£20 doesn’t even buy half a bra (sob)
You’d have to be a right tit to only buy half a bra.
I don't know why but this comment made me laugh uncontrollably, very very well done.
The other half? She left it at the store.
If only reddit gold was still a thing.
Well exactly
Don't trust the banks! Put the £20 in your bra.
I only bet on football, and put money on both cups
Thus avoiding boom and bust cycles.
Yes! I get this reference!
Congrats!
Congrats!
After 40 years how much does that equate to?
Hah, I was reading the post earlier about the discarded lottery ticket as well.
What’s the better investment then? A bra or a lotto ticket?
The post you're referencing ain't wrong, like it was solid advice, but 10% gain through stocks still carries risk so sometimes it's better to buy a bra instead folks
Four big gs after ten years might be handy, and a hundred big gs after forty sounds great, but it might not be that great, cos as much as investment % tries to account for inflation you don't really know how the economy's going to be and sometimes you need that urgent support. Support for the inflation of a spherical, anatomical nature that can only be gained by a bra
If people don’t know the context… then I would play the lottery if I were them
What's the context?
Did I miss a previous post?
I see, missed the original...I thought "hit the big score" was a euphemism for the bra being jizzed on at some point, now it all makes sense.
I'm not convinced I'm any the wiser after this
The title of this post and the linked one are near identical, just replace 'bra' with 'lottery ticket' and 'house' with 'shop'.
It still might not make sense, if so the answer is "just internet things" where a post gains traction and then someone sees the opportunity to make a parody post!
First guy found a Lottery ticket in the street, made a post about it. Another guy found a bra in the street, made a post about it referencing the first post. The funny part is the juxtaposition between finding a Lottery ticket (which could potentially, however unlikely, be the winning ticket) and finding a piece of dirty underwear.
It's honestly not that complicated...
It’s honestly not that clever or funny either.
Tbh I found it funnier before I found out it's meant to be some parady joke thing that just fell completely flat lol
Oh so I did understand, it's just devoid of any humour
its funny because it ridicules the original post. why would anyone do any of those things if they find a lottery ticket on the floor. why go and buy the numbers if you weren't going to already.
Thanks, I was wondering why OP would consider just wearing some random bra off the street
Who's behind the curve?
It could be YOU!
Me? But I'm Streets Ahead!
Indeed, context is everything! The lottery might be a safer bet though.
Top quality shitpost sir.
Top quality shitpost titpost sir.
Steal it, go to the nearest supermarket, put it on, fill it with two cabbages and sing "I'm every woman" in the veg aisle.
feelings of being watched intensify
Wear the strap under your chin and the cups on your head as this will stop any dangerous rays from Mars getting to you.
That looks just like 2 dog poo bags.
Best not get those things confused....
...again.
It's why my wife doesn't let me walk the dog unsupervised these days.
Yeah, yeah, best not… 👀
*breast not
I fear the lottery ticket post might have started something...
Sell it and use the money to buy chicken for everyone in the road
Bra might not belong to a resident. In high school, my BFF and I were speeding home in a storm. We were young and goofy. Couldn't figure out how to work the defroster, and we were already late for cerfew. So instead of stopping, we decided I would take my bra off, then sling it against the window to clear the fog. 1st attempt found my bra tangled in a windshield wiper, frantically tossing it back and forth. Next thing ya know, my bra was flung across the street into traffic. So I walked into my house late, soaked, and with no bra.
Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped
OP’s name is a thing of beauty
Hadn't even noticed. Thanks for that
Careful it is definitely a booby trap
Two Cups No Girl
I remember finding thrilly lingerie in my schools pavilion before rugby training.
Never seen thay type of underwear before, it blew my mind. I convinced myself it was one of the hot sixth formers that left it after shagging, and half damn near took it home.
- Frilly
/ˈfrɪli/
adjective
decorated with frills.
make the guy who wrote on r/confessions feel better by putting it in a box and burying it forever.
What exactly is the big score??
8-0 is pretty big, but I can stretch to 9-0 if you think you can handle it
A score line like that could win you 2 cups.
Have a look, there may still be a titty in there
This is great! I saw the post yesterday about the lotto paper. Was there more?
This is so amazingly lol funny but only if you saw the found lottery ticket post.
Just leave the fucking bra alone.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/1dt3st4/alright_folks_so_today_i_found_a_lottery_ticket/
Context - they're messing around
Have you checked to see if there are still some titties left in there?
See as women have fancy bras they can be a tease with them. So technically with it having cups, there’s a couple of cups of tease right there to drink!
What do you mean “claim as your own”.
Wear it to work! see if anyone notices.
Think you’re overreacting a lot, because it’s likely that those are not a winning bra.
Hang it on a random car door mirror and wait for the fireworks!
I see a box for 1 of those bullet vibrators walking home and the leaflet for it maybe 20 ft away
Keep us abreast of the situation
Do you have the same thought process when you see a pair of pants on the floor?
Looks like Ear Muffs
Someone’s out there and loving every minute of it.
Maybe there are onions underneath?
My ex had one like this and it makes me feel nauseous lol. Yeah score one of the net mate. Sure it would look better on you!
Haven't seen a street bra in time. Rare here. More dead badgers and horse muck.
Why on earth would you want to keep a bra you found on the floor?
Save it and hang it in the nearest tree, tiny cups up for tiny birds to nest.
Build a double catapult with it.
Don’t touch it it’s a booby trap
I'm growing Amir melons in my greenhouse this year, I'm looking for something to support them, this will do nicely thankyou.
I do not understand the text accompanying this post.
Look up and check for a giant anvil, Wiley Coyote may be in the area!
One one hand you could meet the women of your dreams , on the other hand you could embarrass yourself and feel a right tit
Sniff it, then go around sniffing your neighbours to determine where it came from.
No matter which you choose it’ll end up a storm in a C Cup hun X
Check for hidden cameras otherwise you may become the latest TikTok sensation!
Just mind incase it's a Booby trap!
Wear it as a mask
LMAO just scrolling and saw the Lottery Ticket post and i'm not actually sure which post was first. Well done reddit, well done.
Are you seriously considering donning someone's used underwear?
Breasts are awesome works of art. Take care of them. Do not frame them in street refuse.
Depop
hmmmm….leave it there?
Pretend to bend over coughing while giving the bra a surreptitious sniff.
Leave it there mate
I love this! 😭wonder if the lotto guy won?
Did u smell it?
I would wear it and look in the mirror and say it put the lotion in the basket 😂
Or you could throw it into a coworkers car so his wife can find it later! 🤪
I've read holes many times over. DO NOT pick up the ranfom thing thing you found
How about just leave it where it is?
Burn it, 🔥
Arent we supposed to smell it?
China Spy balloon almost perfected
That’s a bikini so go to Brighton and be a big boob girl for a day :)
Keep looking you might find matching pants
Can you keep us abreast of any developments?
Unless you expand the image, I honestly thought these were torn off testicles!
Your bollocks are a funny colour pal
I came here to read the comments before properly (re)reading the post title.
sigh
Well played, OP.
OP I'm concerned you see underwear on the street and one of your thoughts is 'I'll keep that'... As opposed to the reaction you should have which is 'Ew no thank you'
Why is it always that exact style of bra that ends up on the street?
I saw a rabbit by the road other day and not the animal kind
This sub to perfection.
Serial killer post.
Think you’re overthinking this for something that’s not even worth pounding.
