Why the hell would you go to the press about this?

www.thesun.co.uk/news/1921629/student-teacher-needed-emergency-surgery-after-getting-seven-inch-sex-toy-lodged-up-her-back-passage/

Aibu to think this woman is somewhat unhinged for wanting this story to be public knowledge? What if her mum or dad reads it? Or her future employers?!

I am sorry, but I can't get over the fact that she didn't realise where is was and they were looking for it everywhere. Makes any game of hide and seek I have ever played seem very tame.........

And ok they were over the limit for driving, but are there no taxis where they live? If she was well enough to rummage with forks and other kitchen implements she is well enough for a taxi.

It's a sad indictment of the teaching profession if someone as stupid as this can become a teacher. I honestly wouldn't want someone that thick teaching my kids!

SansasEscape · 10/10/2016 21:30

IT WASN'T THAT BIG PINK DILDO. IT WAS A DIFFERENT, SMALLER ONE.

Ahem... as you were Grin

ThirdTimeLuck · 10/10/2016 21:36

Teaching aside, raising awareness about seeking medical assistance in embarrassing situations isn't a bad thing. Not sure what school would make of it but some may take it as a positive thing with regards to seeking help and being honest.

That said, if it was me I wouldn't have told anyone! But each to their own.

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 10/10/2016 21:38

Yes but there's raising awareness of medical situations that can't be helped and are just a bit taboo, and then there's the utter lack of judgement that leads someone to decide that this could happen to anyone and she's doing the world a favour. No, most people probably don't stick dildos up their arses during sex and if they do it's their problem to sort out quietly.

The clue was at the end of the article... "We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The Sun Online news team? Email us at [email protected] or call 0207 782 4368."

What price your dignity, though?

You couldn't pay me enough for this that's for sure. That counts for both having a dildo shoved up my bum and having it in the papers fwiw.

Sorry didn't see there was a thread already.

These photos are also making the rounds on facebook.

It boggles the mind.

The best announcement for public health in this situation, would be to only use toys for anal play that are specifically designed for that use. She didn't even bring that up.

2kids2dogsnosense · 10/10/2016 22:04

How the hell do you lose something that big up your arse and NOT KNOW?

She claims that when she couldn't find it in the bed, she thought that her BF had hidden it under a pillow as a joke. Honestly?

When there is talk about charging people for self-inflicted conditions that cost the NHS, this is the sort of half-wit they should be giving a bill to.

BECAUSE IT WASN'T THAT DILDO SHE LOST. It was a different vibrator. The tacky journo just made her hold that monstrous thing!!

UterusUterusGhali · 10/10/2016 22:11

I'm generally quite nonplussed about these things.
The theatre staff at my hospital, or any hospital, could tell you a myriad such stories.
But her profession etc make me quite uneasy. Mainly because she's ruined her career. :(

user1475440127 · 10/10/2016 22:11

I really dont think this ever happened. Why ruin a good career over something like this? I'm not saying people don't get things stuck up their bums, but why would anyone hoping to be a teacher disclose such facts if they wanted to get a job?.
I know a woman who regularly features in the likes of " Take A Fake".
The story is nearly always the same; the country, circumstances and dates vary.
These people are professional storytellers ,egged on by desperate journalists.
There was a particular Dr, of all things sex related, who used to appear on channel 4 in it's foundling days . Turned out she was nothing of the sort.

2kids2dogsnosense · 10/10/2016 22:12

Oh - thanks Sansa.

I'll change my question.

How the hell do you lose anything bigger than an earwig's eyeball up your arse and NOT KNOW?

Grin

Seriously - I don't put things up my bum to start off with, but I don't know how you couldn't know it was there. How drunk do you have to be?

Or to coin a phrase - Was she on glue?

user1475440127 · 10/10/2016 22:15

BTW, the person who sold her stories was in fact a teacher. No prizes for guessing that she no longer works in that field.

MrsMuddlePluck · 10/10/2016 22:19

She didn't realise it was up there?? Seriously?? Tell me this is a parallel universe & its actually April 1st?

BowieFan · 10/10/2016 22:29

In case you were wondering, a story like this with exclusive pictures runs anywhere between £8k and £12k, depending on the publication.

We had The Sun on the phone once when a student from our school found some human remains (later turned out to be years and years old and were legally buried there) when he was planting in the vegetable garden. They offered us £5000 to let them do the photos on site. We politely said no.

His mum later told us that the Daily Mirror had paid £5000 for the story and would've paid more with the photos. She put the money into a savings account for her DS and the Daily Mirror paid for a lovely plaque to commemorate the man whose remains were found. It all turned out alright in the end.

This to me seems like she decided she didn't like being a teacher and wanted a reason to get sacked.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 10/10/2016 22:31

She already had a Facebook page before this and had a lot of followers. I saw her post this on Sunday, I think it was. Interestingly it's garnered a lot of interest shortly after she alienated a LOT of her followers by slagging off the McCanns.

RoseGoldHippie · 10/10/2016 22:35

Curly - but what a random way to try and 'bum'p up your popularity! Grin

SansasEscape · 10/10/2016 22:35

Not that I know much about this, but I imagine its like when a big poo is up there. You can't feel it until it drops down and is ready to go. I can easily envisage that if something gets up into the 'poo safe zone' you can't feel it anymore.

Sorry for being gross.

Velvetdarkness · 10/10/2016 22:40

You don't get 8-12k!! I was a Journo and that would be at most 2k. Papers really don't pay those sort of sums as standard. In fact I never heard of more than 5k and that's for slebs.

onecrazycook · 10/10/2016 22:41

"Poo safe zone"

Hahaaaa!

user1475440127 · 10/10/2016 22:42

Our local story teller has lost out on this selling of stories. She would be on about £35000 +a year had she not blabbed all this ridiculous nonsense to the papers. She is now friendless and out of work. I'm actually glad she is no longer a teacher as she has been very vindictive to adults she has worked with

gillybeanz · 10/10/2016 22:44

Does it actually say she's training for compulsory PGCE.
Post compulsory and no one would bat an eye lid.

BowieFan · 10/10/2016 22:50

Velvetdarkness

You'd be surprised. These days with the internet and the potential for a story to go viral they pay ridiculous amounts to guarantee an exclusive.
