...is it possible to DIE from EMBARRASMENT??

Today after dd tumbling and cheer class, I needed to run into Winn Dixie for a few things, one of them being tampons (sorry, I know--TMI but this is how the story goes!)..Well, I found a box of tampons and they were being discontinued, so they were marked really cheap ($1.25!) instead of 3 something--well, I think that this is great being the coupon lovin frugal gal I am, so I grab 4 boxes. I go to the checkout and I notice that they are ringing up 3.49, so I let the girl know that they were on sale...she tries to holler at the asst manager at the desk while waving my tampons over her head!!! Wait--gets better, so I am TRYING to be inconspcious (sp?), so i told the girl that I would go pull the tag off the shelf to show her, she said some one was going to go, but I said "I know where to go, I will grab it", meanwhile, about 10 people are behind me ....I grab dd (all the while she was saying "MOM__WHATCHA DOIN__HUH MOMMMMMMM????) and drag her to the aisle grab the tag and another box to show her and go back to the checkout........so they had to call the manager to do the void thing. and to tell the clerk to type 1.25....Anyway, I try to scurry out with some dignity, and when I get to my car, the teenage bag boy comes running up, yes ladies----with a box of tampons (was not even in a bag!!! ) and tells me I left it!! Well, it was the clerks mistake, cause when i unpacked the bags, I had the four i paid for PLUS the one the bagboy brought out!!! :shock: Weeelllllllllllllll----I wont go to winn dixie for some time, a least not until my dignity returns!!!lol (weak laugh!)
Blessings!

Shawna, what a hilarious story. I can just picture the whole thing. I couldn't stop laughing (sorry), but it made my day. It has been pretty crazy around my house and I needed a story like that to know that we all have our moments. Thanks for the pick-me-up.

 

That's great!!! Am SO GLAD that is was YOU and not ME, lol!!! Just what we needed to lighten up the day!!!

 

That is a great story....sorry it had to be at your expense!! LOL

 

....I have a sense of humor so I am giggling NOW! not then of course!!! heeheee!

 

Shawna, at least you weren't that poor woman whom Barbara Johnson tells about in her book, Living Somewhere Between Estrogen and Death, who picked up a similar box to yours, but without any price tag. The cashier didn't wave it over her head, she simply made a store-wide announcement on the PA system, asking the stock person to look up the price. The stocker misunderstood and thought the cashier was talkling about thumbtacks instead of tampax. The rest of the story can be read in her book on pp.15-16. Can you imagine the mortification?! Actually, Barbara was afraid to put that in her book--said the shock might be too much for some people. Maybe we should post a "Beware" symbol on some of our threads. The shock might be too much for some...

 

Aw, Shawna. Too funny!!! Well, I have DONE some really embarassing things in my life, stuff that still makes me cringe to this day. So I bet you come out looking pretty good compared to some of us.

I remember being young and absolutely hating to go for any personal supplies. I'd put it off and put it off, until it was too late, and then I'd have to send dh who must have hated it worse than I did.

I guess something about giving birth drives that out of us eventually. LOL

 

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing that great story. And no I don't think you can die from embarrasment or I would have been dead years ago. I hope you can laugh about this story for many years to come! Beth

 

Hmmmm...applying them with a hammer.... Perhaps it's time I leave this thread.....LOL!!!!!

 

:lol: Good story :lol:

 

thank you for your wonderfuly colorful story!

A bargain is a bargain!!!

 

That is soooo funny!!!!
I laughed so hard.:lol: :lol:
Thanks for sharing your story and with all the tampons you bought you will not need to worry about going through this embarrassing experience for at least a few more months!

Thanks for the laugh Shawna and Prairie! (sorry, I don't know anyone's name only the screennames. lol) That is just so funny. I am so glad I got on this morning.

 

Oh, my this is sooo funny!

 

lol too funny, here's one that is embarassing about tampons too just to give you a laugh. I got home from work the other day to find a note taped to my door. Upon reading it, I just about died of embarassment. It was from my neighbor, very politely asking me if I was missing any "feminine hygiene products" and to check my bathroom. Apparently my son who likes to watch things fall, had gone and taken the WHOLE box, opened each tampon, took it out of the applicator, soaked it with water and then threw it out my bedroom window and into the neighbors backyard. SHe went to take the dog outide to find her yard covered in wet, though still new, tampons. He did have to go and pick them all up and apologize to her, but it was so embarassing.

 

Brandy, you gotta check this site out....

But DO NOT let your son see it, lol! I won't let mine see it!

 

Jackie! You know that's not right! Lol!

 

Hey, Shawna- let's talk embarrassment.

I was once on blood thinners and it made my period heavier. I messed up a yellow chair at work, and had to find a way to walk down into my work area to tell my boss I had to go home. The next day a few smart alecks- who hadn't seen me the day before- were making a point of walking behind me , to look at my butt. My supervisor had told them what happened.

Does that suck or what?

 

Jackie, I laughed so hard that I literally have mascara dripping down my face. This is histerical.
Who on earth thinks up these things????:lol: :lol: :lol:
I am sending this link to my friend. She is going to fall over laughing.
Thanks so much!!!

Oh, Becky, I would have been SO MAD!!! That borders on sexual harrassment to me!!!
