Ever done something daft, misunderstood something to your embarrassment, played a prank ?

Add your tales to lighten the mood :o))

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My aunts batty mate once went shopping with her.

From the time my aunt got to her house, and for about an hour there after, aunts mate complained about having visual disturbances. Aunts mate worried that something was seriously wrong with her sight, or worse like a brain tumour.

Then aunt suggested friend may have a speck of dirt on the lens. Raising her hand, aunt went to wipe an imaginary speck from friends glasses only for the finger to go straight through & poke her eye

Friends lens had dropped out, and both the daft pair didn't even notice :o))

Result, two ladies, late fifties walking along Wood Green high road in fits, & people wondering why they'd been let out :o))))

(Before people go to RR, please don't think I'm taking the P out of a Brain Tumour because I'm not)

Aunts mates equally batty daughter had started work as a trainee dental nurse after leaving school.

Half listening to the dentist going over the paitents details, she caught the word "Mute" & thought that was the mans name.

The man came in, she turned to the poor man & said "Can I take your coat Mr Mute ? "..& took his coat.

The dentist looked on in horror as the man sat in the chair ready for treatment.
Guiding her out of the room, & stifling a chuckle he explained Mute wasnt the mans name but his condition, and explained what mute meant.

Well, back in the room, she couldnt meet the dentists eyes, everytime she did, a giggle welled up. How many times, she dropped to the floor out of sight to "pick up" a dropped item when she felt fit to burst.

She did end up working at the practice for quite a few years after that LOL !

Just a couple of many.......I wear a hearing aid now but have had many many mix ups in the past due to my misunderstanding what has been said.....

After my last child I went to the doctor for the mini pill.......new doctor for me and a bit dishy........going through the different types of pill, and him asking questions, I heard him say.......are you going on 30?.......and I went all coy and said........oh, aren't you nice, actually I am going on 32.......by his look and manner I realised I had fouled up once again.......

He had said the name of the pill.......Microgynon 30......which I had heard as ......are you going on 30........needless to say ...... one very confused doctor, and one very embarrassed patint.....

I've got another Dentist story.

My youngest got a job as an Dental assistant inbetween school and college.

Dentist sends her into the waiting room to call the next patient 'Mr WILLY'

'Mr WILLY' she called in a loud voice.

A man got up out of his chair and said, somewhat frostily, the names WILEY

It rhymed with 'SMILEY' not 'SILLY' which is what my daughter felt.

The dentist was grinning behind his mask the rotter!

She loved her time there, though.

.....another one.....

Visiting a new dentist for the first time, he took x-rays and told me I had another set of (what I would call) dog teeth, still up in my gums......

.....so I told him that they were my fangs which only came out on a full moon.......and hissed at him.......ala Dracula......

....don't ask, just my strange sense of humour........the nurse laughed, but the dentist just stared blankly in pure disbelief........after 2 years of 6 monthly check ups, he has got used to me.......and we can have a laugh.....

.....another one.......and the last, otherwise you will think I am a complete dingbat......and I'm not.....

New pair of glasses, and I couldn't find them anywhere.......OH was annoyed as I was prone to leaving my glasses and having to go back to collect them......

.....the last place I remember having them was at my Daughters, and OH said to phone her........got my SiL and asked him if I had left them on the coffee table, but he said no........by this time OH was getting annoyed ......and Jay (SiL) said......you aren't wearing them, are you? (just joking)......and lo and behold they were on my face.....

Daft thing is that OH was gettin antsy with me for losing them, and he had NOT noticed they were on my face......who is dafter, him or me.....

When I was a little girl my Dad had to spend several months in hospital, the nurses were very kind and would give me paper masks , syringes,tongue depressors ...etc. to take home and play with. One day the parish priest came to visit us to see how we were all doing, while they were having tea I decided to impress him by putting on my little nurses uniform but couldnt find any paper masks .however after a good rummage in my mums bedroom I found something similar......I can still see my poor mothers face as I burst into the living room wearing an old fashioned Dr Whites tied behind my ears.....I never knew a human could move so fast.

When I first went to work at a hospital I heard a nurse refer to a patient as a cabbage I was most annoyed and told her so. Didn't I go red when she told me it was a CABG which they pronounced as cabbage.

Also another in patients noted SOB which when I found out stood for short of breath.

Yep we can easily misunderstand and feel very silly and embarrased.

Well reading your replies, Ive been LOL !

Laughter is the best medicine eh ?

lol Pauline........what a sight !!

When my daughter was 2 years old we had been shopping and when we got home l was putting everything away and gave her the toilets rolls and told her to put them in the toilet............. you guessed , yes she put them down the toilet and l couldn't tell her off as thats what l told her to do !!!!!!!!

A few years after Id stopped wearing feminine hygiene products on my face I found myself on a date with a guy .While parked at the local lovers lane he ask if Id like to get into the back seat.....I said "Cant I stay in the front with you?"

Aw Sally, the one about the glasses is similar to one I was going to tell.My mum lost her glasses, she had me and my dad turning the place upside down looking for them, until Dad suddenly burst out laughing and said, 'Found them!'

'Where?' we both said.

'Look in the mirror' said Dad. Yep, she had been wearing them all that time. Funny how you get used to things isn't it?

Anyway, I was chatting to a good friend about a fancy dress party I went to in Bristol about 10 years ago. It was french themed, so she went as the Scarlet Pumpernickel, I went as a french floozy, low cut dress, huge blonde wig, white make-up and beauty spot. We got in the taxi to go, and the taxi driver tried to overcharge us, but (in character) we soon put him right, I think we scared him, or he wanted to take us back to the home lol.

We popped into the co-op to pick up some wine, and had had a phone call begging us to get some french bread too. So there we were, all dressed up, in character, and stopped the entire shop. We entertained them for 30 minutes, before walking to the house.

Party started, guests included us, Rene Artois, a french maid, an onion seller and a member of the resistance. We decided it would be a good idea to go to the pub for a while and continue the party later.

There was a small pub, bit of a dive, and as we walked in there was a punch-up going on in the bar. As Rene Artois, the french maid, the onion seller, Michelle of the resistance, the french floozy and the scarlet pumpernickel, all walked in, the fighting literally froze in mid-punch. I swear even the pint of beer that was flying across the bar froze in mid-air!
It gave the landlord a couple of seconds to grab the troublemakers and throw them out, and gave us all a drink on the house!

It was the best party I ever went to.

Years ago before people got paid through the bank
My hubby worked away and his boss used to deliver his wages here
and i would post off my hubby's money to him
after taking my housekeeping out of it
His boss used to insist on trying to put his arm round me
to explain his wage slip and i thought he was really creepy
But i was a bit weary to say anything to him
So i used to get the girl next door to come in
while he was here
One day he came a couple of hours earlier than usual and my son who was about 3
Opened the front door and shouted up the stairs
MUMMY THAT CREEPS HERE THE ONE YOU CANT STAND
kids who would have them
Strange they paid my hubby off the next week thank god lol
Nowadays i am not so green
and he would of been sent off with a flea in his ear
BUT MY SON WAS RIGHT HE WAS A CFREEP

When I was about 18 a bloke I really fancied invited me back to his house to look at his football trophies....In those days not many girls admitted to liking football so I think he was impressed by my enthusiasm at his tales of hat tricks and man of the season awards blah blah blah Anywayyyyyy......I jumped at the chance!!!...

However.......when we got there...........















He REALLY did show me his football trophies !!!!!! *sighs*

Hubby hates dentists But had to have some teeth out
So i took him when he come round the nurse asked me
to sit in the recovery room with him So i did
But he kept getting over amorous the nurse said it was the anesthetic
I got right ticked off so i told him
The dentist pinched two inches off his ----
and my hubby went crazy
he got up flung the oxygen machine across the room
and started to search for his stolen two inches
it was so funny I was in kinks
There was a lady and her daughter sat in the room, laughing to
He then grabbed the ladies handbag and riffled through it
Still looking for his two inches
by then i was pmsl for real
Then he went through the cupboards in the room
searching away he was
and looked under the chairs everywhere
I had tears coming down my face
The nurses tried to pacify him but to no avail
He was shouting
You can laugh but i want my two inches back
Its not as if i had two inches to spare
i want the police calling i demand my two inches back NOW

No need to say he has never lived this down
and we still laugh about it now years later

Oh heck... where do I start? Think I might have told this one before.

At a very posh *do* lots of young officers (very dishy) and us....oh, there were loads of higher-up officers, but as hubby had just been commissioned, we were sat at the fun end of the table, lol

I smoked in those days.... and very fussy, I was, at making sure I had a lighter to match my outfit... anyway... coffee and mints arrived, the signal to *light up* or pay a loo visit.... and there I was chatting away to the dishiest officer you have ever ever seen.... *wipes drool from chin at memory*.... I get a ciggy out.... and grab my lighter... fumbling to light it... I was really getting frustrated... then realised the whole table at our *fun end* was collapsed in hysterics, hubby included...... I looked down at my hand and nearly collapsed in shame, lolol ..... I was trying to light my ciggy with a tampon.

Love

Daff xxxxx
