A few years ago, I went to sleep in the dentist chair while they were waiting for the needle to kick in. I was very comfortable and very tired as well. I am a very heavy sleeper and hard to wake once asleep. I was so embarrassed when they finally managed to wake me, it was not the dentist but two ambulance people. They were really shaking me as well as taking blood pressure etc. I do have low blood pressure normally, a sleeping state makes it lower still, they wanted to cart me off to hospital. You have never seen anyone move so quick to get away from that dentist.

Never did get the filling I needed at the time, could not go back to the dentist.

I have told this one before....

I was waiting in for a man to come and repair my cooker, but had to go to work,I decided that being that my hubby would be home in 20 mins I would take a chance and leave for work, as I ran down my drive I saw a small white van parked about 20 yards away from my drive, as I got nearer I could see the bloke in the van looking at some kind of paperwork.....He must be looking for me I thought as my place is a little off road and easy to miss...

I ran up to the van and shouted at him 'cooker'?
He wound down the window and I stuck my head through the open window 'are you looking for a cooker'
F*** OFF he told me and spead away???

It was only later that I realised that he must have thought I said HOOKER!!

Hi
When i was younger I started going out with this lad we had being going out for a while and he decided it was about time i met his parents
So they invited me over for Sunday dinner
On the Sunday lad picked me up I was feeling really nervous
anyway we arrived at his parents he introduced me and took my coat his mum went back to kitchen and he went off to hang up our coats leaving me and his dad in lounge
his father trying to make conversation said to me its windy isnt it referring to the weather
but not thinking I looked at him and said no its wendy ( as this is my name )
well i felt so stupid but it sure broke the ice and we all laughed about it

Reading Pollypoppets post it reminded me of the first time I was invited to tea at OH parents.....

All was going well and I was sitting with OH on the settee and suddenly I spotted the biggest spider scuttling towards me from under the telly, on their multi-patterned carpet......

.....did no more than point at the thing and climbed up onto the settee, I was like some sort of gibbering idiot.......mind you they did laugh at me when they realised.....
