So That Happened

<p>When Jessica Vincent from Melbourne, Australia, ordered days-of-the-week underwear from designer <a href="https://www.facebook.com/peteralexander/" target="_blank">Peter Alexander Sleepwear</a>, she was &quot;unprepared for the horror of what awaited me when I opened the box,&quot; she wrote in an open letter which is going viral on Facebook.</p><p>So... what &quot;horror&quot; awaited this poor woman?

I&#39;ve been a long term admirer of your sleepwear, however given I&#39;ve also been a long term uni student, unwilling to double my HECS debt by purchasing a nightie adorned with an image of a penguin sporting a snazzy ski hat, I have only recently become a purchaser. Now in steady gainful employment, I headed to your store. And I had my heart set on your 7 Day Knicker Box Set.<br /> <br /> As I&#39;m sure you understand, undergarments marked with the days of the week are something only an obsessively organised person would desire. Therefore, it was a purchase decision I grappled with. What if I lost the Wednesday pair? What if I had a busy week and got behind with my laundry, only to get to the weekend and find all that was available was Tuesday? Nervous as I was, I managed to set these doubts aside; for I&#39;m never behind with the laundry and I don&#39;t lose things. Steeled with this knowledge, I made the purchase and headed home, confident in my decision.<br /> <br /> Which is why I was so unprepared for the horror that awaited me upon opening the box.<br /> <br /> As you can see from the attached photo (hereafter to be referred to in all correspondence as Exhibit A), there are two pairs of underwear marked &ldquo;Thu.&rdquo; and a complete absence of a Monday-dedicated pair.<br /> <br /> I&#39;m sure there are individuals who would not mind adorning their rear with &ldquo;Thu.&rdquo; each Monday; for example the illiterate, or the criminally insane. Since I am neither, I can only assume you are trying to enforce either Commando Mondays or Cardio Workout Thursdays. Whatever your intention, I&#39;m going to have to respectfully decline.<br /> <br /> I look forward to a response from you regarding this unfortunate and untimely issue.

Woman's open letter about 'horrifying' flaw in her days-of-the-week underwear goes viral.

When Jessica Vincent from Melbourne, Australia, ordered days-of-the-week underwear from designer Peter Alexander Sleepwear, she was &quot;unprepared for the horror of what awaited me when I opened the box,&quot; she wrote in an open letter which is going viral on Facebook.So... what &quot;horror&quot; awaited this poor woman? CHILDREN: AVERT YOUR EYES.This is what she saw when she opened the box: CALL THE POLICE!!!!!! As you can see, there are two pairs of Thursday underwear, and no Monday undies. Or, as Jessica put it, &quot;two pairs of underwear marked &#39;Thu.&#39; and a complete absence of a Monday-dedicated pair.&quot; Okay, calm down everyone. Mistakes happen. Even in underwear factories. But this particular mistake shattered Jessica Vincent&#39;s world to millions of tiny Monday-less shards, and she needed to share with the company, nay, the world. So she posted an open letter on the company&#39;s Facebook page. It is a.... touch dramatic. The letter reads: Dear Peter Alexander,  It is with regret that I inform you I must make a complaint.
