The British were completely baffled after a woman put a dead bat in a woman’s mailbox, but the reasoning behind it made people laugh (and even more confused).

It’s not uncommon for a mailbox to be in the middle of a joke, just like this woman posted a raw fish via her ex boyfriends.

The panicked woman explained: “OMG! I’m sorry! She was meant for Clare the Bat Lady (she works for the South Lancs Bat Group) because she wanted to check it out! Obviously I was in the wrong house! Claire will check it out.

“Uh … do you still have it?” she asked hesitantly.
