Really horrible woo story

30 replies

Roseshavethorns · 09/04/2024 10:07

So this just happened.

I was in the shower, just rinsing, when I found the top of a finger nail under my (old and saggy) boob. It's not mine!
All my nails are present and correct as are DH's (I checked).
Before you ask, I do shower daily, there are only two of us in the house at the moment and we each have our own shower gel.
Feeling slightly freaked and quite nauseous.
Any ideas?
Not enjoying the thought that some "visitor" was biting their nails on my chest.🤢

I don't think this story reflects well on you....

Goddessonahighway · 09/04/2024 10:12

I'm thinking maybe it found its way there via your bra. Maybe your husband's nail got into washing machine and it lodged itself in your bra?

timegoesbysoso · 09/04/2024 10:12

I wondered where that had pinged to last week!

GalileoHumpkins · 09/04/2024 10:18

Not sure what's woo about this, @Goddessonahighway has the most obvious explanation.

At least it didn't go in your tea.

Count yourself lucky, I once found one in some sliced liver from Waitrose Envy

Roseshavethorns · 09/04/2024 11:35

Thanks for the replies.
Wasn't dressed yet and showered last night too so not from bra. It's was much smaller than my husband's hand. About the size of a pinky nail.

My latest theory is that it was in the shampoo or shower gel. Just yuk.

Do you trim your nails or dc's nails in bed? I trim the baby's nails in bed, I catch them in a kitchen towel to chuck away but sometimes one escapes. Could be that?

I found one in some tinned ravioli. When it stabbed me in the side of my mouth 🤢

CupOfTeaNoSugar · 09/04/2024 12:13

I found one in a chocolate coin. Yucky.

They have sharp edges so can snag on stuff. Probably just picked it up in the washing machine or got attached to it some other way.

You didn't eat it. After 5 mins thought it is probably time to move on with your life.

pictoosh · 09/04/2024 12:16

Well it's not woo, is it?

Like someone says, was probably in your bra...something like that.

Yes something like this. Fairly routine really.

TheShellBeach · 09/04/2024 12:17

It isn't woo!
Just revolting.

Namerchanger1 · 09/04/2024 12:18

Probably just a small piece of shower sealant surely?

Andthereyougo · 09/04/2024 12:20

If it was in shower gel or shampoo at least it was clean.

HullaBallu · 09/04/2024 12:21

is it definitely a nail? Sometimes small feathers can work their way out of pillows or duvets - they can look very similar.

BlancheSaysYes · 09/04/2024 12:22

Are you sure it was a fingernail and not a sliver of plastic?

Bumblebeeinatree · 09/04/2024 12:25

Toe nail? Broken in bed or got into washing.

GoodnightJude1 · 09/04/2024 12:25

I’m just here wishing my boobs were big enough to find stuff under….

Haha, amen to that 😂

NeverDropYourMooncup · 09/04/2024 12:30

Isn't the more likely explanation, rather than Magic, that somebody else had been in your bed with your husband?

Ask yourself which is more likely, this or some rando leaving nails under your breasts?

Deathraystare · 09/04/2024 16:09

Did you put on a clean bra this morning?

Blingismything · 09/04/2024 22:13

A few years ago I found a blue plaster curled into the shape of someone's finger embedded in an onion bhajee.
