I actually wouldn't mind if I had a chance of anything hanging by a thread least of all something huge!

mycatsaysach · 11/11/2011 23:11

can't think of anything odd this week but random things happen to me all the time

a few weeks ago i spotted a chicken crossing the road near where i live and posted on fb to see if any of my local friends had lost one

and

in the snow last year i fell down the well in our garden

Neuromantic · 11/11/2011 23:19

Well theres the seemingly hundreds of random chat threads turning up in aibu for unknown reasons.
And my husband left me, that was pretty random too.

Turned up to do a photo shoot minus a vital piece of equipment that had , I suspected, been left at a previous shoot at a local leisure centre.

Went to front desk of said centre and nochanlty (sp?) asked if I might just take a quick look in the store cupboard.

It is VERY hard to walk out discretly whilst carrying a back drop in a 3 METER long drain pipe on your sholder that you had "forgotten" for over a week.

Today was exchanging 'most embarrassing moment' stories with colleagues. I told them Quick, fart! Run! Story which goes:

In our late teens was browsing in a gift shop with sister. I let out a fart that I knew would be pungent in the extreme, so nudged sis in ribs, hissed 'quick, fart - run' & fled. You've guessed it: she was standing on the other side of the shop looking baffled.

When I'd told my story my v prim team manager (think Joanna Lumley) had a fit of uncontrollable giggles, punctuated by a volley of very high-pitched farts & had to leave the room, laughing & botty-squeaking as she passed the Business Regeneration team.

Am hoping she may now feel able to let herself go a bit more at our Xmas lunch IYSWIM.

Stupify64 · 11/11/2011 23:34

Oh Neuro, I'm so sorry - you must be feeling mighty crap.

kitty4paws · 11/11/2011 23:39

Sorry Neuro, didnt "see" your post.
So sorry,it sounds like it was a shock to you .

JenniferCanesten · 11/11/2011 23:52

I had a hysterical meltdown trying to tell DP (it's happening even now describing it) that Jimmy Savile had died. My eyes have filled up already just remembering.

I literally could not get the words out. I was so hysterical that I had gone beyond laughing to just explosive squeaking, shaking and crying. Every now and again I managed to pull myself together a bit and try to say some words but just couldn't do it. He was v. Hmm. No idea what that was about. And then he just said "Yeah I know."

JenniferCanesten · 11/11/2011 23:54

p.s. sorry for seemingly ignoring the sympathy-giving to Neuro, I was typing so didn't know. Didn't OP also just separate from her XH?

SimulationStation · 11/11/2011 23:58

In a well known pizza chain for dinner with 2 DCs. Let a quiet fart out. I thought.. DS 3 shouted 'Mummy you farted!'... not random but highly embarrassing....possibly funny?

TheWisdomOfSolomum · 12/11/2011 00:32

My dd (4) told the taxi driver today "My mummy is allergic to knickers"

IdRatherBeInBed · 12/11/2011 02:10

My oldest DS (5) has a tight foreskin and he has to pull it back during bath time to clean and keep it errmm fresh iykwim?! free from infection....
anyway the first time he pulled it back his penis popped out of the foreskin, he looked at me with a shocked look and just said
'What the HELL is that?'
I was stunned and laughing so much i couldnt even answer him or tell him off for swearing. DS2 (3) was in the bath with him and he was looking at him and his penis in a roundabout way of 'what happened there'

I had to stand up to catch my breath from laughing so much and went to the kitchen to get DH (next room, bathroom downstairs) and when i went back in DS1 was stood up in the bath pulling back his foreskin with DS2 starring right at it, laughing shouting
'do it again,. do it again'
DS1 would pull out his penis again and DS2 would laugh hysterical and then DS1 says to DH
'Daddy it looks like lips'

Oh god i was laughing was for ages, even telling my mum i couldnt breat for laughing!!

HappyHippyChick · 12/11/2011 16:23

I am crying with laughter at "quick, fart, run" and the Team manager running out giggling and farting!

HeresTheThingBooyhoo · 12/11/2011 16:33

funniest thing: the woman who had me by the throat 8 weeks ago offered to look after my dcs this morning after not speaking to or seeing me and making no attempt to apologise for what she did since the assault. luckily she didn't offer to my face, but through her DD who gently suggested that perhaps i wouldn't be too keen on the idea. i laughed so hard when her DD told me. i think i was in shock at how incredibly thick she was being.

My husband left me too (well I left him after a series of affairs but it's semantics really!) anyway you have to laugh... On a playdate with my new man, his son his brother and my boy. Trying to make a good impression- And my son farted fulsomely, I picked him up to see if he needed a bum change and he farted again right in my face! It was possibly the funniest thing ever and if it all works out a nice story to tell the grandkids!

startwig1982 · 12/11/2011 18:09

This happened a few months ago but still makes me roar with laughter... I was teaching my wonderful year 9 group and was about 8 months pregnant, so was sat on a stool. I got up to write on the board and fell over my feet. Grin The hilarious bit was that in falling over, I managed to land head first into a boy's crotch....Blush I don't know who was more embarrassed , but it makes me laugh everytime I think about it. Poor lad. Grin

Ooh ooh I've got another ramdom thing.

My 'h' dumped me by e-mail 10 weeks ago.
That was completely random!

ChildofIsis · 13/11/2011 06:46

Random, too early, can't type.

ReebleBeeble · 13/11/2011 09:09

I've just had to wake the DP from his lie-in to find out if it was actually Sunday today as Royal Mail have turned up at the door... Panic ensued until he checked his IPhone and decided that "if Apple say its Sunday, then its Sunday".

redexpat · 13/11/2011 12:34

I discovered that DS (1 month) is soothed by the theme tune to midsummer murders of all things. That's quite random.

ReebleBeeble · 13/11/2011 13:43

Oh, day got better. DD 10 months managed to get herself impossibly tangled in the legs of a dining chair and I could not get her out. Called to DP who came running in, skidded on the laminate, fell over DD's ride-on Peppa Pig car, faceplanted the floor and split his trousers from zip to belt. Theyre now not speaking to me for being helpless with laughter.

auntiepicklebottom2 · 13/11/2011 14:24

hope this don't make me sound odd.

my ds 5 penis had an errection, he started crying hysterically saying help my my winkle doodle to big....all i could do was laugh

UserNameNotAvailable · 13/11/2011 14:49

Pmsl at IdRatherBeInBed absolutely hilarious Grin

I saw a pig in the street the other week, I don't live in the country side but there is a pig farm not far from where little piggy was so I assume he was an escapee.
