AIBU to think if it goes up your arse they should say so on the packet!

[RoseRedder]

Bought a thermometer yesterday.

It's a peppa pig thermometer.......the only one's the shop had

On the front of the packet it says 'see inside for instructions'

Took it to customer services who said 'it goes in the mouth or armpit

Open it and the inside instructions state it's a rectal thermometer!

I purchased this as everyone is a bit unwell and I don't have a thermometer. Most of us have been fevery so seemed like a good idea at the time

But everyone in the house is over 16, and a bit adverse to sticking it up there bums

I feel cheated

Is it shaped like a corkscrew?

just going to put it up my bum now . I'm a bit concerned as I thought people were ment to 37.5

Did the instructions actually say:

"We hope you enjoy your new Peppa Pig™ thermometer. If for any reason you're not satisfied with it, you can shove it up your arse."

Im not even sure what a barometer is BO

Seriously though, Ive had my fancy, battery operated thermometer out this evening as DD was sent home from nursery with a temp of 39. If you can purchase one like that for less that 20 quid, why would you think oh no, a rectal one will be so much better. & The extra effort you'd have to put in aswell....

I am crying with laughter reading this!

You aren't going to shove it up your bum and then put it in someones mouth after, are you?

36.9 is normal. Varies from person to person though.

I am jealous. Do they do Thomas the Tank ones?

Thanks for making me laugh till I wee!!

Mind you don't raise your temperature, BaronessBB

36.8 is normal 37.5 is low grade fever and the point at which I was told to contact chemo unit when I was having cancer treatment. I was told that 35.5 to 37 was the 'normal' range.

ha ha. oh dear. that is hilarious

I am jealous. Do they do Thomas the Tank ones?

Thinking along those lines, I'd quite like a Clangers one!!!

Thomas

I wouldn't think Thomas would make a good rectal thermometer, what with his funnel.

(Can't believe I just wrote that sentence.)

just going to put it up my bum now

I'm sure the OP's arse doesn't require a corkscrew!

Well all I can say is if you are a parent do not purchase this and expect accurate results

My bottom reading is 42.9

I'd be dead if that were true

Cheap piece of shit

Battery operated thermometer?

I should have thought of that when my wife caught me with that vibrating butt plug.

'It isn't what it looks, honestly. It's a battery operated rectal thermometer.'

spongebob

Going deep into the bottom.

37.5 is fever.

You could boil an egg in your rectum!

I thought anything bum related had to be on a Friday night

Medical bum stuff can be any night. Fridays is for recreational bum usage.

Lol at Peppa being "shock proof" when shoved up your bum
