...to be dying of embarrassment

So lovely builder (who we've known for some time, professionally and socially) comes round to quote for a job in our bedroom. I've moved things away from the area where he needs to measure up, including the bin, but did it in a hurry as was running late and on way out ahead of him coming later. When moving I did drop the bin but thought I'd picked everything up that had fallen out.

Anyway, fast forward to a couple of hours later. I'm standing on one side of bed as builder kneels down to measure up area on the other side. When he stands up he has a pantyliner stuck to his knee, complete with its wrapper. I lunge forward to get it off him but he's already got it in his hand. We both look at it and, at this stage, I am just willing the world to swallow me up. He hands it to me and I stuff it in my pocket. He makes gracious exit and now I am just dying and coming out in a cold sweat every time I think of it. Will I ever get over this? And can I face him again?

He's a grown man, I'm sure he's seen a sanitary towel before!

Sorry.

He's probably seen worse. At least it wasn't a beaker....

Poor old you.

IAmAllImportant · 07/02/2015 20:02

Used or unused, that is the question?

LittleBrownRabbit · 07/02/2015 20:02

Depends if it was used or not.

BigRedBall · 07/02/2015 20:02

Was it visibly dirty with human fluid? Grin if not, you needn't worry!

Pointlessfan · 07/02/2015 20:02

I thought it was going to be a condom!

EveBoswell · 07/02/2015 20:03

Don't be embarrassed, OP. As gorgeous said, he's probably seen it all and more. Is he married? Have a Wine

If it's any consolation, a mechanic was trying to fit my luck nut box back in my glove box this week then awkwardly said he'd leave it to me. A minute or two later I saw that there was an unused but wrapperless tampon at the front of the glove box!

Tinofroses · 07/02/2015 20:05

I'm so sorry but I'm howling laughing here.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 07/02/2015 20:07

Oh dear Grin.

Have a glass of Wine. It'll all be forgotten by morning - possibly Wink.

Gasosaurus · 07/02/2015 20:07

lougle What the devil is a "luck nut box"? I WANT ONE!

Criiiiinge - sorry. One day you'll see the funny side I'm sure Grin

Aeroflotgirl · 07/02/2015 20:11

Oh yes used or unused Grin

TRexingInAsda · 07/02/2015 20:17

Used - YANBU. Unused - meh, don't worry about it.

ToBeeOrNot · 07/02/2015 20:20

It must be used surely, if as suggested it escaped when the bin was dropped. Unless people are in the habit of putting unused ones in the bin for fun?

Celeriacacaca · 07/02/2015 20:30

Used but unmarked. 'Nuf said.

Omg hahaha properly laughing at this one. Yanbu to be dying inside Grin

lougle · 07/02/2015 20:59

Haha! Auto-correct. Lock nut box - the box that holds my lock nut key and some bolts for my wheels.

Used but unmarked? It's the thin end of the wedge....

BigRedBall · 07/02/2015 21:02

You have my sympathies OP!

At least it wasn't stained though! Eh?!

tarashill · 07/02/2015 21:21

You've got to be thankful for small mercies here. It was unmarked.Grin
