Teenager finds baby bat in her bra

A teenager was stunned to find that a baby bat had been curled up inside her bra for five hours - as she was wearing it.

Abbie Hawkins, a hotel receptionist, thought her mobile phone was ringing when she felt vibrations coming from her clothes.

But she later discovered the tiny creature tucked away in the padded pocket of her underwear.

As staff and colleagues crowded around, Miss Hawkins, 19, produced the frightened bat, which was the size of her hand.

She said: "Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really.

"It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it."

Miss Hawkins said she got dressed at 7.30am and arrived for work at the Holiday Inn Norwich North, near Norwich International Airport without noticing anything unusual.

"When I was driving to work I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket," she said.

It was not until her lunch break, at midday when she felt a strange movement inside her bra, which had been hanging on her washing line the previous night.

"I plucked up the courage to investigate and I pulled out a little baby bat. I just lost my breath when I saw it and I did not know what it was at first," she said.

The teenager's general manager freed the bat in the hotel garden.

"I keep thinking how could I have not known it was there?" Miss Hawkins said. "I will certainly be checking my bras every morning from now on."

In her effort to capitalize on her 15, she also posed for these pix ... not sure if they are SFW...

Oh, I don't know about that...I am certainly willing to get further training, ifyaknowhatImean.

Well, more than a handfull is a waste anyway!

[Daffynition]

Sounds like something a little brother would do.

She didn’t know it was there until a hiccup from the C-cup :)

Good one!

The wing is clearly shiny and rubber, and the bat is too big

I agree, those wings are rubber and the bat is a fake.

[Hot Tabasco]

Is that a bat in your bra or are you just happy to see me?

[Gabz]

My husband has a strange sense of humor -— that was his line, not mine!!!!

Obligatory posting ...

It was Commissioner Gordon on the Batphone.

The only reason I turn into SVU is to ogle at Jayne’s daughter Mariska.

His defense to the suit is he was batt-t at the time...

I’m not casting doubt on the story itself, just that picture.

I am. I call BS on the story unless she was really high or really drunk.

No way a girl is going to put on a bra and not notice something in it.

[metmom]

If it were real, she’d better have had it checked for rabies, or just go and get herself the shots.

It’s always been my dream to be trapped inside Dolly Parton’s bra.

Duck, if you want to be crushed to death there's easier ways than that.

She's taking the mickey outta y'all. She always does this.

I’m in love.

You know she’s bats . . .
