A mum telling her daughter that the style of dress she was trying on was called "UMPIRE waist".

I'm sorry, I know I'm a total caaaahhhh, but I was Grin and and covering my mouth to keep from laughing.

What have you overheard (not necessarily in a change room) that made you :o?

This isnt funny as such but made me very cross.

A group of pearl necked twin set elderly ladies were sat in the library for a book group ......theyd been reading a book about depression and its effects (possibly an autobiography from a celebrity)

Any way this snotty old lady declared - i cant see why these young girls demand such attention to themselves its not as though they have a hard life really - I mean,she even had a washing machine and a tumble drier.

Really????? well then she should be so ecstatic.

Hmm

cure for depression - a automatic washing machine.

Lately DS has done the "Is that person a man or a woman?!" thing. Several times. Very loudly. Blush I have now threatened him with everything under the sun and hopefully he won't do it again.

My friend and I used to have a list of funny things we'd overheard on our college dorm door :)

That should have said "biopsy on a mole on my breast" - didn't mean to be misleading.

Oh dear messymammy :o

If it's any consolation, DS did the "can't leave a subject alone" thing, too. I'd had a biopsy done on my breast and it bruised horribly. He went on and on and ON about the bruise on mummy's boobie...

Swimming pool changing room, mum in cubicle, dad outside:

dad: is my top in there?
Mum: no, I put it with the shoes.
brief pause
Mum: have you found it?
dad: found what?
