Just had someone knock on my door for a jif lemon?

[nmlowe]

It's 2:20am and some woman just knocked on the door and said " Er, I know this sounds strange, but do you have any jif lemon?, my son's a diabetic and he's having a fit"
So I gave her a full jif lemon from the kitchen, what the fcuk am I going to have on my pancakes next pancake day now????

You can't make explosives out of jif lemon's can you?
only, we had a Police helicopter almost literally skimming the roof tops earlier saturday evening for about two hours???

excuse me for being crude
but,
was she fit?!

Not really, I thought she was a pikey asking for money at first. I was just thinking "Why did I answer the door?"

[nmlowe]

Oops, just deleted the thread instead of editing it!
Doh!

To be honest, if a female had knocked on my door at 2:30 in the morning I would not hesitate in opening the door!

too much
too little sleep............

[nmlowe]

I couldn't tell who it was until I opened the door.
I know what you mean though!
From the loudness of the bang on the door I was expecting to get my head kicked in by someone on their way back from a pub lock-in or something.

Weird one? Sounds very plausible though.

I was stuck in casualty once when an unconscious diabetic patient was wheeled in and the nurse put sugar under his tongue -it was like waking the dead!

A strange thing happened on Friday night;-

My wife got a call on from a lady asking if she had booked a prostitute!

I heard the conversation on the answerphone this morning. Thing is; if it was a serious call would a professional madam not say "lady" "escort" etc. rather than prostitute?

Sounds a bit weird as a diabetic would not need lemon but either something sweet and sugary such as chocolate or insulin. Don't think a Jif Lemon would be of much use other than using the container to squirt some sugary liquid into his mouth.

Was just thinking the same thing, I don't know the ingredients in a jif lemon but last time I squirted some in my mouth it wasn't sugary

Of couse why you were looking for the Jif Lemon whilst obviously thinking how strange a request it is and therefore not really concentrating,...she was looking for your wallet/cash/jewelary/anything else worth stealing.....
Its an old trick........

Good job you didn't offer her some "Jif" cleaning fluid instead - it would have been an easy mistake to make at 2.30 am (even if it has been rebranded "Cif").

[monty_python]

Isn't jif lemon a kitchen cleaner that smells like lemons ????

WTF ????

Tony , totally lost.

[soulpatch]

I had some REALLY fine girl knock on my door at 1.30am from a party next door asking to borrow some suger for tea.

From the look of her eyes she had been doing a lot more than just alchahol......

Must have been some kind of scam, checking if you were in prior to burlary ?
My eldest son is diabetic, and if a diabetic becomes unconsious or hypo etc, they require SUGAR, urgently, something very sweet and quick acting, Lucuzade for example would be great, as would Chocolate and glucose tablets etc

No, because I didn't let her in. I closed the front door first, went into the kitchen got the jif and then opened the door and handed it to her..
As for checking out for burgulary, we have the only house in the street with a burgular alarm.

Have you got your jif lemon back by the way?!

[king arthur]

I reckon she was actually having pancakes at 2.00am, but if she'd told you that you wouldn't have given her the lemon.

robp said: Have you got your jif lemon back by the way?!

No, Never saw her again...but then again its too early.
maybe she'll come back at 2:20am for some pancakes?
I don't want it back really, fcuk knows where it could have been!

Scavenger hunt ? Some people'll go to any lengths to win ! 2AM's maybe a bit late though

[garethsm]

Either a pi$$ed dare or someone coming out of rehab for their jif addiction, I reckon!
