No, I don't think so, Lady Ellen (you are giving people far too much credit, I think). Unless they know you really well, maybe, and for some reason intend to hurt you.
There was a relative of my mother's (who has been dead for years now), who used to buy all of the kids underwear, every year for Christmas. Part of the reason was because she had lots of kids to buy for, and not a lot of money to do it with (she had something like 25 nieces and nephews she bought gifts for) - and part of it was that she was just practical, and figured they might need it.
So this year, "in memory of Mimi", my sister got everyone in our family new underwear (even my dad!). I don't know exactly what that says, actually.
But - it is nice underwear (from Victoria's Secret). And I was grateful for it, because, although I do consider my lingerie, and purchase lingerie with care, I rarely think about my everyday underwear. I just launder it every week, and wear it. So - it's probably time for new undies, come to think of it.
But, it was an odd choice, in a way. Not sure what it says, really. Beyond the "in memory of Mimi" part, anyway.
- Susan
