Thinking silly things, nothing bad.. its a fun thread people!!

For me, its the choice of two incidents.

  1. Discovering my SIL had left the lid off the Vivarium her Tarantula lived in and that it had escaped somewhere in the house... it took 3hrs to find it, 3hrs i spent in the garden btw!

  2. Just now i went to throw nappy in outside bin and stood, bare foot on a farkin GIANT SLUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, i shrieked like a girl, then spent a few minutes trying not to

I havent' decided which is more traumatic yet....

BalloonSlayer I think that is probably my greatest fear in life, now you have described that incident to me

PortBlacksandResident · 13/05/2009 16:42

Balloon - it died happy!

Not me but my dmum - her new puppy went out for a wee in the night (ddad took it) and jumped back on the bed and snuggled up. Mum though oooh she's wet - but no! She had bought in a freshly dead rat (cats not her) and plopped it on dad's pillow.

Thank god he went for a wee before coming straight back to bed!

LaurieFairyCake · 13/05/2009 16:47

This is the boakiest thread ever

Makeda · 13/05/2009 16:50

Lol Balloon - my mum was there too in her nightie, sort of flapping about making unhelpful remarks! But who knows what people get up to...

PMSL at the Slocombe comment

Before I lived with DP he had a housemate who sleepwalked and slept naked - that was a bit of a shock the first time (soon got used to it, especially after the time we had to run down the road at 3am because he was toddling of to uni completely starkers)

pinkstarfish · 13/05/2009 17:14

When I was playing aeroplanes with DD (then 13 months), me on my back and me lifting her above me, making her "fly". As she was shreeking with joy, she kindly threw up right into my mouth.

Funnily enough, we've never played it since.....

Oh god, BalloonSlayer, the dragonfly pube thing just about takes the biscuit.

Update on my day: have cleaned fresh catvom off bed and watery cat sick off bedroom floor. Mmmm.

Anyone want a three-legged cat who voms a lot?

Squashed tightly on an incredibly overcrowded bus abroad. Had my bag in front of me and hands clasped over it as was on my own and a bit worried about getting pickpocketed. I was concentrating on trying to peer out to see where we were, suddenly became aware of something smooth and slimy rubbing against my hands. Took me a moment to realise the man in front of me was "pleasuring himself" against my hand . Worst part was when I realised I tried to get away and it was so crowded I couldn't, also guy looked up and gave me pervy wink .
Stumbled from bus at next stop, and went running down the street in a panic looking for somewhere to decontaminate my hands.

ProfYaffle · 13/05/2009 17:36

I was cleaning the bathroom one day, huuge spider ran across the floor, I leapt out of the way, knocked into the stringy lightswitch thing which commenced wild swinging across the room and then wrapped itself around my neck. For some reason I still don't quite understand I thought the spider had jumped up and attacked me , started properly screaming in terror while clawing frantically at my neck.

Dh is used to my spider screams and ignores them but this had even him sprinting through the house in panic. By the time he got to the bathroom I'd freed myself and realised what had happened but was in such a state he didn't even take the piss, just gently led me to the kitchen for sit down.

Tabitha wins!

wolfnipplechips · 13/05/2009 17:48

I was on a very long overnight train journey from Alice Springs to Darwin, when some backpackers that had just met had a shag in their seats. It still makes me shakey i felt so violated i moved from my seat so i couldn't see them but i could still hear.

Also whilst in Australia a guy got into a spa beside we were sitting proceeded to chat her up 30 mins he was ahem giving her one in broad daylight, i left i was so dh and his friends thought it was hysterical. My eyes were opened about English girls abroad on that trip.

Saltire · 13/05/2009 17:53

Mine:

I was going downstairs very early one morning to go to loo, and was wearing dressing gown and slippers cos the Pils were staying. I met FIl who resembles this on teh stairs in his pants. Nothing else.
I still have nightmares

oldspotraver · 13/05/2009 17:54

Mine are similar to others... had my son then about 16 walk in on me when I was on top... he always knocked after that if the door was shut

Ha da frantic phone call of a neighbour to say there was a party at mine and the house was being trashed, it was DS's 15th. When I got home it was all over and someone was cleaning up and nowhere near as bad as she had painted it but she did tell me there were crisps all over the floor and beer cans around and she had caught a couple coming downstairs

I was a bit unsure anyone would be up there so we went up together. Someone had pulled back my bedclothes and strewn it with rice. Then I heard the imortal words... "Whats that noise, its sounds like buzzing and its coming from that drawer"

Cue me opening drawer to find several vibrators bouncing around, the frantically trying to turn them off with neighbour stood there going pale

Runoutofideas · 13/05/2009 18:10

Hmmm

Finding Dad's pron stash aged about 11

Treading on a frog with bare feet and feeling it pop between my toes

Walking round the garden eating a ham sandwich, removed snail from a plant, got hands confused and absentmindedly popped snail into my mouth and threw sandwich over the fence.......

StripeyOss · 13/05/2009 18:12

OMG, i am seriously PMSL at some of these!!!

One reminded me of something traumatic from my childhood... that being sat on my parents bed the one when i was about 7 and dad was getting dressed.

I recall there appeared a wasp and the vision of my dad bouncing around the room butt naked trying to swat it with his pants in one hand while attempting to protect his modesty with the other...

bigchris · 13/05/2009 18:50

plaing in the garden with my sister when we were about 9 and 7 in the summer wearing sandals and no socks
a wasp crawled into her sandal when we were sitting down, she got up and stood on it
friend at school swallowed a wasp in her ribena
it stung all her throat
I have a lifelong fear of wasps

MummyDragon · 13/05/2009 18:52

Please could someone kindly enlighten me - what does boak mean??

bigchris · 13/05/2009 18:53

oh yes eating cheesecake in a restaurant when I was 18 and finding a pube in it
put me off cheesecake for life

screamingabdab · 13/05/2009 18:59

MummyDragon I believe it is just the sound one makes when one vomits

Hassled · 13/05/2009 18:59

Walking on on DS1, then about 14 or 15, to find him wanking. It was hideous for both of us. It still makes my buttocks clench.
