To be aghast at this?

Hi all,
My uncle recently bought my grandparents vitamins and I saw the box of my Gran’s vitamins out of the corner of my eye, but thought it was vaginal lubricant. So I whispered to my gran (in the busy kitchenette) “oh my god, I thought your vitamins was vaginal lubricant” (we have that sort of relationship where we can talk about things like that). And my grandad said loudly “it’s bad manners to whisper” so my gran shouted (in the kitchenette with my cousin, auntie, mum and gran and grandad, and my much younger brother and cousin in the living room, which is open plan from the kitchenette!) “don’t be so bloody nosey... noseynails thought my vitamins was vaginal lubricant and was trying to spare you all!” Then she muttered “nosey pig”. I was affronted!! I could have crawled up my own arse! Do you have any stories to share to console me?

Hahahaha. That’s hilarious. She sounds like my granny. I am a size 6-8. But I got put on medications that got me to a size 14/16. I turned up and she said really loudly to everyone

‘My god. You’re fat!’

My cousin is also a huge talker. She turned round to my auntie (cousins mother) and said in a very loud whisper ‘don’t bring that loud mouth if you come again’

I miss her. I named my eldest after her. Remember these memories. They last! ❤️

Why were you affronted? She was calling your granddad a nosy pig not you

Noseynails · 05/10/2019 12:17

I was affronted as in embarrassed because she shouted about vaginal lubricant loudly when I only wanted her to know, that was why I whispered it

Hmm
Noseynails · 05/10/2019 12:18

@Joerev the loudmouth one sounds like something she would say... I’m taller than her and I patted her on the head and she made a run at me! Even though she’s small, she’s scary!

When wedding planning with my xh his grandad wanted to pass on a marquee quote from a friend. Too bad he passed us the delivery note from his viagra instead Blush , to top it off he just said, oh whoops well the amount you're allowed on the nhs isn't enough.

SparklyMagpie · 05/10/2019 12:21

Bellasblankexpression · 05/10/2019 12:23

This is a weird weird post

raspberryk · 05/10/2019 12:24

@SparklyMagpie bet you're fun at parties.

zxcvhjkl · 05/10/2019 12:26

She shouted vaginal lubricant in front of the family and called your grandad a nosey pig - not you. So why are you feeling awkward about it.
I personally would be too busy laughing my arse off to feel "affronted". YABU
Your Granny sounds awesome! Can we share her?!

BuildBuildings · 05/10/2019 12:32

Was she calling your grandad or you a nosey pig?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 05/10/2019 12:32

Why would you be shocked that your grandmother had lube?

Did you assume she's not doing the wild things with your grandad any more?

Bet she's got a drawer full of the stuff.

SallyWD · 05/10/2019 12:33

Once I ordered a feminine hygiene item (nothing sexual) and for some reason the company sent me a free bottle of vaginal lubricant. I was about to go out so just stuffed it in a drawer and forgot about it. Weeks later my neighbour popped in for a cup of tea. My DD who was 2 at the time suddenly appeared with the lubricant in her hand and passed it to my neighbour. I'll never forget the embarrassed and horrified look on my neighbour's face. God knows what my face looked like!!

Noseynails · 05/10/2019 12:33

I was laughing but I was embarrassed because I only wanted to tell her

Noseynails · 05/10/2019 12:34

She called my grandad a nosey pig, it was vitamins but it looked like a lubricant box.

YABU to be aghast.
This will be one of those family stories that you tell your grandchildren (or maybe not!)

SparklyMagpie · 05/10/2019 12:37

@raspberryk I am actually 😂

Joerev · 05/10/2019 12:38

Wow. I can’t believe some of these people’s replys. It’s was a funny anecdotal story.

Don’t worry about them op. Like I said. She sounds like my granny. She was such a character. So honoured to of known her.
