When a man has his heart broken by a woman, he can react in strange ways. Some drink, some cry and, in BBM’s case, some do both while masturbating into a pair of her old knickers. Ironically, that was also the reason she left in the first place.
But one bloke from Bristol came up with a new coping mechanism after he was dumped – by spending $2000 a year on underpants, that’s a a top qualifier for weird break up stories isn’t it!
“When I first started wearing new boxers every day, I loved it. I treated myself to really nice Calvin Klein ones. It always felt great to slip into a crisp pair,” said Curt Almond, 26.
“It got to the point where I didn’t feel comfortable unless I was wearing a new pair.’
“Eventually my money started to run out and I had to buy budget ones instead. Finally, when a bill came in, I looked at finances and realised that I was spending all my savings on underpants, so I managed to wean myself off the compulsion.”
Talk about hitting the skids.
