Was listening to a hilarious conversation at work today.
Apparently, it’s “Well known” that swinger couples plant Pampas or Elephant grass by their front doors as a sign to passing swingers that they should call in for a partayyyy....
I called BS, but am keen to hear from the fine people of this parish about whether A, they’ve heard of this practice? Or B, would anyone plant it or any other flora to attract passing playmates? |

But surely you could never rely on it? What if the people that planted it moved? Then some unsuspecting persons who’ve moved in to the house would be getting knocks on the door!  |

"I used to have pampas grass growing in my back garden but it seems to have died... just like the offers from here haha..."
Ah, well if what I hear is the true truth, it must be by your Front door! So having it in your back garden won’t work |

As previously said think it was a 70’s thing.
Them poor unsuspecting buyers moving into a house with pampers grass pmsl
Really makes me giggle when I drive pass people’s houses and see it  |

Near the 'back door?' |

Thinking on this I had an ex whose parents had a pampas grass plant growing in the front garden. He was obsessed with getting rid of it & failed year on year. No idea if they planted it or moved to it..so to speak...can't really imagine them swinging, but who knows. |

When our new neighbours moved in up the lane they were horrified when we told them what Pampass grass growing outside their home meant.
As they had inherited it from the previous owners, she cut it all down the very next day |

Till I came on this item, I'd never heard the 'pampas theory'
We had a huge one in our back garden when I was a kid.
My dad split it, and planted part further down the garden & another in the front garden.
Obviously I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure my parents weren't swingers |

"Realised that I might need to plant some pampas grass, as my last meet struggled to find my house. Had to talk in, using phone.
Or a huge spotlight, projecting the word fab. "
Like the Bat Signal! |

Exactly, so that I can guide people to my fab-cave.
My mind is now imaging a superhero called fab-man, who along with fab-girl, battles professor normal and his vanilla minions.
He dresses in a latex outfit and his only weakness is forumite. |

Lot of nonsense of course just as the keys in a bowl trope.
