The Facecloth
      #202114 - 23/09/2008 15:54

Hope he can't read as quick Annemarie !!!
This has to be read, laughed at and passed on, there is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this!
I was due for a smear with the doctor later that week.Early one morning, I recieved a call from the doctors office to sat that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9.30am,.. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school,and it was already 8.45am..The trip to his office tookabout 35 mins, so I didn't have much time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra care over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort.So I rushed upstairs, threw off my pjs, wet the face cloth that was at the side of the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presntable. I threw on some clothes hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room only for a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table looked over at the other side of the room and pretended I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.I was a little surprised when the doctor said"my we have made an extra effort this morning haven't we?
I didn't respond.
After the appointment I heaved a sigh of relief and went home . The rest of the day was normal ,cleaning shopping and cooking.
After school when my 7 year old daughter was playing she called out from the bathroom, "Mummy where's my face cloth?! I told her to get another one out of the cupboard.
She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter saved inside it"
NEVER going back to that doctor ever!!!!!

My friend went for her smear and went to the toilet at the surgery.
She realised when it was too late that there was no loo paper.
So she scrabbled about, like you do, in her handbag and found a crumpled up tissue, so that had to do.
When the doctor came to take the smear, he asked the nurse for a kidney dish.
When it was all over, my friend caught sight of the kidney dish, and horror of horrors, she saw in it........
a postage stamp!!
When she told me the story, I was trying to imagine what the doctor was thinking, and came up with:
'You'd have thought she would have just licked it!'

I once leaving work and had to put my umbrella up which I had to retrieve from my large bag. As I put the umbrella up a tampon fell out. No idea whether anyone saw me/it but I just bent down, grabbed it and walked very quickly away. And didn't look back.

That is so funny can't stop laughing, never be able to have my next smear with a strait face!

I have had a similar experience involving embarrassment.

A few years ago i was heavily dieting, exercising madly and becoming quite obsessed with my weight. Each morning i would go to our utility room where we kept our bathroom scales, strip my pj's off and stand and weigh myself naked.(every ounce counts)had a wee before hand too! There was a small window overlooking our back garden at the back is a bungalow. One morning i weighed myself as usual got pj's back on and got ready to go out for a cycle ride. when i got back my eldest daughter said " Mum some women came and knocked this morning, she lives over the back and said could you stop stripping off each morning as she finds it rather offensive having to look at your naked body while her and her husband are eating their breakfast" this really upset me as i am a bit of a prude, I felt sooooooooo embarrassed wish you all could have seen my face. My daughter looked really upset too, which made it worse, i said "oh no i feel terrible" I had all these thoughts running through my head, how on earth was I going to ever look any neighbours in the face again, we live in a tiny cul-de-sac until my daughter started to laugh. i said "what you laughing at, it's not funny, I've upset that women" my daughter was laughing so much she had tears running down her face, by this point i started to laugh even though i was really cringing inside. My daughter said" Mum April fool"

I really love my daughter but could have killed her that morning.

Just read this thread and laughed out loud. I was on a train once, going to work, when a good-looking guy kept staring at me. Being a cool kind of gal I kept my most nonchalant expression as I reached into my handbag for my packet of Trebor mints. I looked down and to my horror I found I had taken out a Tampax!
