To STILL be embarassed 2 weeks later (Firemen related)

[OMGwhyohwhy]

Hi Ive namecanged as IRL this is TOTALLY identifiable (sp??)

Two weeks ago I was just about to turn in for the night when I decided to put into our loft a large piece of loft flooring.

2.4m by 80cm or so.

I stood on the ladder and got DS1 (13) to help me.

All was going well untill the board went past the "tipping point" at which point it over balanced and trapped me.

I had started the whole thing wrong and so ended up facing backwards on the loft ladder with the (bloody rather heavy) board trapping my neck against the lost hatch surround.

NOT a good situation to be in. I was carrying the weight of the loft board and was slipping further and further down so was getting more and more trapped.

The DCs got my nephew round to help but when he moved the board it just trapped me futher.

Que calls to 999 and me shouting from the loft to their request for an ambulance " I AM breathing, do NOT send a paramedic !!!"

Soooooo, much to my relief the firemen arrived and I am quickly freed.

TWO engines ( shame , shame) and a paramedic car ( double shame)

BUT........

and here is my AIBU fot STILL cringing every time I think of it.

I was wearing my swimming costume .

Im just cringing as I sit here, sigh ... will it EVERY go away

Thanks for making me , OP! All you need now is a beret, a wife called Betty and a silly accent...

[SageYourOracle]

I swear I'veI almost ruptured my c-sec scar laughing at this. Too, too funny especially the image of plaitable leg hair! Definitely the funniest thread since Bob, the spray painted pidgeon! Thanks OP!

[GimmieChocolate]

I can assure you they would of been to a lot worse! Yes this will be one of their funny stories and they would of giggled in the pump on the way back but trust me they wont of thought anything bad - even of the hair! You got 2 fire engines as that would of been standard for the "incident" that was described to the control room and yes, you do get everyone as the engine can't go out without a minimum number of crew on it.

Please don't feel too embarrassed! It is funny though must admit!!

[SaggyCeratops]

I fell off my pony and broke my arm. It was a bad break and I dared not move. I weigh 14 stone. It took 3 paramedics to get me up from the floor! I was mortified! You aren't alone!

[SaggyCeratops]

[CardyMow]

It's fine, it was a few years ago now, and I can giggle about it now. .

[Solo]

Surely, this is one to tell the Grandchildren...!

[OMGwhyohwhy]

Aaawwa
thanks for all the replies , it was funny, even at the time, and TBF it was "almost" worth it for the reaction I get when I tell people IRL.

OH well, lesson learnt , BIG time, off to read TSC thread now

[Jacksmania]

I'm sorry but I have been forced to report this thread for causing bodily harm.



I laughed so hard I fell off my chair :o

This must go in Classics. It simply must.

[OMGwhyohwhy]

Oh poor TSc
LOL at her DH mouthng across the pool "Your minge!!!"

and had I waxed my bikini line ??

Oh no, oh no , not. at. all.

if id KNOWN that there were going to be 5 firemen staring at my nether regions I would have put a lOT more effort in.

Oh, oh ! I could have been in killer heels. I would only need to look good from the waist down.

afterwards I joked with my DD that I should have refused to let the fire men in and demanded my epilator first !!

Not sure what they would have made of the "buzzing" sounds though ?

[GColdtimer]

That is so funny.

"I can explain the swimming costume"

Pmsl.

Also D0G waving like a loon at a fire engine whilst DS was deadpan

Thank you. Very funny.

I trapped myself in my bedroom on Xmas eve (the door handle came off in my hand & I lived on my own then) & had to contemplate calling the fire brigade when I couldn't find a locksmith prepared to come and get me out.

The fire brigade would have broken a window to get me out & I didn't want to leave the flat with a broken window over Xmas (I was going away for 2 nights) so pleaded with a locksmith until he agreed to come and get me.

The bit no one knows (except DH who has heard this story) - I was so desperate for a wee I weed into a plastic bottle I luckily had in the room, standing over a towel to catch any overflow.

I thank my lucky stars I had my phone in the room with me that night!

[OlaRapaceFru]

This thread is absolutely hilarious - I'm going to have an image of a swimming costume clad bottom and hairy legs dangling out of a loft hatch stuck in my mind all day now.

I think your idea of a cake and 'safety leaflet' sounds brilliant - I'm sure they'll all have another ROFL moment really appreciate it.

[5inthebed]

Bloody hell, have just stopped laughing. Funniest thread I've read in a while.

Please, tell me who you really are on MN

[Birnamwood]

Can someone link to bob the spray painted pigeon please?

Op, thank you for that laugh and I think you should definitely send that cake...:)

[Fillybuster]

"cucumber"



Genius.

Another vote for Classics.

I luff MN when we get threads like these :)

Thank you OP :) :)
