Wife Uses eBay to Humiliate Cheating Husband and His Fat Lover
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 12:20 AM on August 15, 2008
For some strange reason, an Australian woman thinks that putting for sale a photo of her cheating husband's lover underpants on eBay--along with a empty condom wrapper--is a perfect way to humiliate them both. But why just a photo? It didn't make much sense to me until I learnt about eBay's weird no-secondhand underwear rules. But still, she manages to pull it with her funny description of the "The Tart's Knickers":
They [the underpants] are so huge I thought they may make someone a nice shawl or, even better, something for Halloween perhaps.
Apparently, the woman arrived home after she received a torrid SMS from her husband--obviously not directed to her--only to discover him in bed with the condom wrapper under the pillow and the lady's big underpants at the foot of the bed, like some kind of big pirate flag.
The wife wanted to sell the actual piece of massive lingerie, but eBay asked her to take it down because they have a policy against selling secondhand underwear. An eBay spokeswoman said:
We let her know about the policy and instead she's now selling a photograph of the offending knickers. This is obviously very therapeutic for this woman and it must be a great channel for her views on cheating and the sanctity of marriage.
The punishment doesn't end there: She plans to continue it by auctioning her husband's Harley for 99 cents. Great. eBay therapy. Yes. It's a slow day, but what worries me here is this stupid secondhand underwear sales ban. Does this apply to eBay Japan too? How can pervs all around the world bid for their favourite porn stars used lingerie? These are all questions that shall be answered before the day ends. Anyone wants to buy my CK--too tight--boxers?

So... exactly what satisfaction does one derive from selling a picture of your usurper's undies to a stranger?
For that matter, what satisfaction does one derive from buying said picture?
If anything, the stranger is going to buy the picture to perv on it in one way or another, and isn't perving on the rival in question what she's objecting to in the first place?
The more I parse this, the more unparsable it gets...

@Playstation: Demand drives the market. And evidently, there is enough demand for used knickers in Japan to support a burgeoning underwear vending machine industry:

I've purchased used bicycle saddles through eBay. They didn't seem to have a problem with that.

@: So are you estimating them using my dress sizing as a 7 or using your underwear sizing where a 7 is a 14 in dress sizes?

@OMG! Ponies! Deservs It: Well, just because they have a used panties vending machine doesn't mean they are screw up than any other nations. I read an article about lots of people who have the same fetish here in the US too. And I bet this happens all around the world.

@GeekyNerdGuy: women's underwear sizes and dress sizes aren't the same.
A size 8 in underwear would equal roughly a size 16 dress/pant size. Not that there's anything wrong w/ that - they just don't equal the same thing. Those are probably a 7, but it's hard to tell b/c they're briefs which are meant to cover the whole ass anyway (And are unfortunately not referred to as 'granny panties'. Why they gotta be granny panties just b/c I wanna cover my whole ass?)
Anyway - I'm sure that was more of a lesson on underwear than anyone wanted.

@: Yes, but clinical studies show that "knickers" generates 24% more titters than "underpants" and up to 45% more than "undergarments".

This post confirms the futurama writers' theory that "underpants" is at least 10% funnier than "underwear"

I wish she'd put the actual size on there ... because I think they would fit me.
No, actually because they don't look THAT big. Like maybe a size 8 at the max. And notice, she never metions her own size.
Scorned women -- you're all so silly.

I have no problem with people buying used undergarments out of vending machines, but could I at least get a separate machine for my ciggs?
I would prefer to not have the sweet sweet aroma of tobacco diminishing the sweet sweet aroma of the used undergarments, and vice versa...

Ugh. I feel worse for having read this post, entirely.
Between the picture, ebay's specific rules re: used underwear, the cheating husband, the vengeful wife, the harley for 99 cents? and the fact that it's on giz....
i just feel sad now ; ;

Shaking my head......this is kind of funny, but there are better ways of getting revenge. I must say I am amazed at the knowledge of womens undergarments the average Gizmodian has.
ps - selling pre-worn underwear to strangers for profit is weird; a real woman saves that for special people and gives them away ;)

@: And I mean size 6 as in undies size (= size 12 dress), not 6 as in dress size.
Posted 2:05 AM 15/8/08
@GeekyNerdGuy: I'm estimating them using the average size of a condom wrapper in comparison to a pair of regular lacy briefs. Condom wrappers are *relatively* the same size across the board so it can be used as scale.
They actually may be around a size 6 now that I think about it b/c the crotch length (not width) on undies generally does not change from cut to cut (unless they're crotchless) - they just use less fabric up front for low-rise and less in the back/on the sides for thongs, etc. Just depending on the cut.

The funny part?
If her husband really cheat her with a fat lady, this actually works more AGAINST her than her husband.
After all, a Fat Princess is still way better than a skinny grumpy old hag. :P

But I won't go into the whole "thin and waif-like" argument.

The items are not the most disturbing part. Look closely at the screen shot and you'll see that, before it was taken down, it had already got 15 BIDS! Sounds like a couple of quagmires.
