This morning, i went to our new, huge Sainsburys with DGS2,aged two and a half! Traumatising enough but, while I was packing at the till, I remarked to the cashier that my nylon shopping bags needed a wash as they were really smelly. As I shook the last one out to put the fruit and veg in, out fell a (dead) baby mouse! blush

I always make a point of sorting out some attractive underwear if I'm expecting an "intimate" examination at the doctor's. On at least two occasions I have got home and realised I was wearing my knickers inside out! So much for my sophisticated woman of the world image! Doctor obviously thought "Poor old soul, can't even dress herself"

My most recent embarrassing moment was ar the Doc's.
Went along to get a check up on my prostate. Doc donned the clves and I assumed the position, Doc then asked my if I wanted the clothes peg that my DW had left on the back of my shirt. sad

I feel quite sorry for that mouse. There was it thinking it was going to have a feast in the fridge and instead it got colder and colder until.... sad

I walked into the kitchen one day to find both cats staring at the fridge freezer which was making funny crackling noises.The door had come slightly ajar, so I slammed it shut tight.Months later when I rummaged at the back for some peas out came a perfectly frozen mouse. DH suggested we micorwave it for the cats. Don't worry, we didnt!

sherish I had just started work for an extremely pompous and hi-flying consultant psychiatrist, when he opened his briefcase one morning to give me some papers and a sachet of Fybogel fell on to the desk between us.

Not quite the same thing exactly but once, when trying to sell our house, I showed a nice couple (that I had high hopes of) into our smallest bedroom only to find my youngest son and his friend (then aged about 6) playing , as they cheerfully told us, skunk families!! They were certainly succeeding. The smell was appalling. It was a very long time before they were allowed beans for lunch again. We never saw those prospective buyers again. It would have been better to have had mice!!!!

Some good stories here - almost rivalling phoenix's underwear crises. grin

Ive had a bad week with a mouse, on Monday having taken one of my darling cats to the vets. I was so worried that she has something serious wrong with her, she streaked past me in pursuit of a mouse in my kitchen, followed closely by one of my other cats, they collided and started to scrap while the mouse just hopped into the hole in the skirting board. My other cat , a huge male ran off and jumped onto the piano trembling in fear.
At least my cat is not showing any symptoms of illness and has perked up as she now lies all day in front of the mousehole. Ive set traps but I now don't know if one of them has caught it or its escaped. Not a very bright mouse to move into a house of 3 cats.

granjura, that reminds me of my friend who is a sales executive. She was at a clients and opened her briefcase when three Tampax rolled out onto the desk! She keeps them in a small make up bag now.

One of my friends went to work wearing a ST pad at the end of her period, with black trousers and skimpy pants. When she went to change it at lunchtime- it had gone??? She never found out where. Now THAT would be embarrassing!!! She felt sick for days.

When my daughter finished university she had a temporary job and after work went for a drink with several young people from the office. She had taken a pair of jeans and changed in the ladies loo at the pub. Yes, yesterdays knickers emerged from the bottom of the jeans as she walked to the table. She tried to kick them away from her but one of the young men spotted them and displayed them on top of a beer bottle!

Never taken a mouse to the supermarket but we did take a bird of prey to DDs. Last year we drove to Brussels and when she came out to greet us she turned slightly green, on inspection there was a very large bird with wings spread wide on the front grill.

It was only when the dentist reclined the chair in his surgery that I noticed I had one blue shoe and one green shoe on. I had spent the morning at work in them and no-one had noticed.

Deedaa Fri 03-Oct-14 21:45:28

DD tells me she has often had one of yesterday's socks appear from the leg of her jeans, but yesterday's knickers are so wonderfully sordid grin

Faye Thu 02-Oct-14 22:08:24

I hope you didn't tell the cashier your name kitty, she wouldn't have believed you. grin

Deedaa Thu 02-Oct-14 21:32:38

Oh kitty that's the funniest thing I've read for ages grin

I've done yesterday's knickers more than once - and I've learned to be very careful about putting slippers on because you never know what the little darlings have dropped in them.

tiggypiro Thu 02-Oct-14 19:35:15

Isn't it good to have a laugh - thanks Kitty for the opportunity !

Crafting Thu 02-Oct-14 19:21:52

Kittylester grin made me laugh.
Coolgran65 you and I are kindred spirits. Say no more!!!!grin grin

Not quite the same thing but many years ago my kittens used to remove stray items from the airing rack in the utility room. A number of friends were visiting when who should come trotting into the room but Dylan and Pepsi side by side, each holding one end of a black lace suspender belt in their mouths?

Anne58 Thu 02-Oct-14 19:01:27

Oh Kitty sorry to laugh, but that has made my evening!

(As you all know I have had what might be deemed more than my fair share of embarrassing incidents, involving underwear, postmen, wheelie bins, funerals..............)

ginny Thu 02-Oct-14 18:38:57

Sorry, but had to laugh. Glad it wasn't me though. Years ago a friend of mine rushed out in the snow to take her daughters to school. When she got home she was wondering why her 'wellies' felt a little small. As she took off her right boot and turned it upside down ...a dead mouse fell out. I heard her shriek from down the road !!!

Coolgran65 Thu 02-Oct-14 18:26:00

Tegan very similar happened to me with a pair of knickers.
I called with a friend for coffee. We were seated and chatting for about a half hour when she asked me - what was that hanging out of the bottom of my jean's leg.
Yep, yesterday's knickers.
