Irish woman puts up Facebook ad seeking tutus for a hen party, gets offer to make tutus for actual hens instead

What the cluck?

Conor Heneghan

We can see how there could have been some confusion there. Actually, no, we can’t.

A friend of JOE reader Caroline Marie McCormack was trying to organise a hen party recently and being the generous type, Caroline decided to help out in any way she could.

The friend in question was looking to get her hands on some tutus for a hen party and seeing as Caroline was part of a Facebook group in which items are bought, sold and exchanged on a regular basis, she decided to send a message to the group to see if anyone could help.

The easiest way to describe what happened next is simply to post the messages that Caroline received from a kind lady who was trying to help her out, but was a little confused about what the tutus would be used for.

Or to be more precise, who or what exactly would be wearing them.

‘Tis a pity Caroline gave the game up in the end, that would have been some hen party!
