$10M CLAIM FOR SUPERS' 'PANTY RAIDS'
By DAREH GREGORIAN and KEVIN FASICK
For rent: Studio loft on UES, rent-controlled, $1,595 a month. Amenities include heat and complimentary underwear folding.
One college grad didn't find that a great deal - she's filed a $10 million suit over her building superintendents' alleged intrusions into her apartment to rifle through, and sometimes sort, her belongings.
"It was creepy. It was just so bizarre," Navah Meller said of her experience at 242 E. 80th Street.
She said her closet had been gone through and reorganized, her laundry, including her underwear, folded and put away. A tube of toothpaste in the bathroom was rolled up. Packages from her mom were opened and their contents put away.
Meller, 22, moved into the first-floor studio last August, and considered herself "lucky" to get such a deal.
Things took a turn for the weird when she had the locks changed in November, and the supers - husband and wife George and Ilona Biro - asked for a copy of her key, Meller said.
She soon started noticing things had been put away when she didn't remember doing so, said Meller's lawyer, Joshua Price.
"She started to think she was a little crazy," the lawyer said.
Meller said she realized she wasn't nuts when, in January, she stayed home sick and saw Ilona come in and start going through her belongings.
She confronted the super, who angrily told her she "didn't like" the way Meller kept the apartment, and if she had a problem, she should leave, said Meller, who cleared out that weekend.
The supers have denied the allegation

When I used to hang around the video store on Court St. my buddy had his brother working in the store. He was a little slow or at least they treated him like he was. I thought he was a lot smarter than he let on but that was beside the point. Anyway he would get obsessed with stuff. When Courtney Cox first made her video and got a job in this show "Misfits of Science' this mamaluke fell in love with her and mailed her $2,000 worth of clothes. Not nice clothes. But real ginzo clothes from 86th Street. Stirrup pants and sweaters that hung off your shoulders. Well it was the eighties.
Anyway this guy worked as a super in the family buildings. And he had a key. And he would go in and sniff the panties of the women who rented. And did other stuff I am sure. It got to the point where they had to only rent to guys.
So this story made me laugh. Ladies, protect your unmentionables at all times.

I don't understand the appeal of clothes sans the body in them.
That said, it sure is less of a minefield growing up for a male than it is for a female.
That looks like a artsy-fartsy exhibition called My Story: A Life's Progression as Documented By My Panties.
It's a Yale this weekend.
Obama's plans to curb global warming will reverse a long- established trend
I always had a thing for those boy short panties.
Does that make me a bad person?
I guess I should clarify, I have a thing for those boy short panties on women.
I yield the floor.
I would spend thousands of dollars for a pair of Madonna's panties.
You know her panties are amazing because she is so incredible.
Every panty drawer must be sorted. Economic recovery depends on it.
I wouldn't let my dog sniff Madonna's panties.
Tellin you right now that Titus fellow ain't right.
Unmentionables? I believe they're sorta begging to be mentioned. ;-)
I really don't get the "fanny floss" thing. It must be very uncomfortable.
Good call, Bushman.
The whole thing reminds me of the episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' in which Sheldon and Leonard organized Penny's apartment while she was sleeping at night. Funny in a sitcom, if a bit creepy. Totally creepy in real life.
Creepier still when involving underwear.

You might just have them on backwards.
