Life's embarassing moments.........

Life has it's embarassing moments........
This past weekend I had to call a plumber to fix the on/off valve and pipe on the toilet in my master bath room. The valve was starting to drip and the pipe had split after I had finished replacing all the interior components of the toilet itself. So after I'd called the plumber, I realized that there was quite a lot of "girlie stuff" all over my bedroom and the bathroom, so I did some cleaning and got everything put away well before the plumber arrived..........Or so I thought!
The poor guy gets here and I show him the offending toilet.....he gets his stuff and turns off the main water outside the house, I sit down to watch some TV and don't give it a second thought as he gets started.........that is until about 20minutes go by and I realize that I've forgotten to remove two urrmmmm...shall we say *toys*

that are shaped like certain pieces of human male anatomy and a bottle of lubricant that are on a shelf right in front of the toilet were this poor guy is working!!!!
There was NO WAY he could have missed them! I couldn't do anything............
It was very difficult not to bust out out laughing when I had to sign off the receipt........Just one of life's embarassing moments......
Got something to share?

A little Borat party eh?

My dog vet experiences are my most embarrassing, although my kids say I'm a living embarrassment to them.

I wonder if there are any plumber's boards out there where you could find a corresponding post!

Yeah, in the "you won't believe what I saw at a customer's house" section!

We should all include the poor plumber into our nightly prayers ...

He's probably in the process of suing Mark for emotional hardship!

OTOH, silicone can't be that alien a material to him. And as long as your toys were not reponsible for congesting things, Mark ...

"as long as your toys were not reponsible for congesting things,"

No.....I'd say rather the opposite

Aw he'll probably keep that to himself! I can hear it now:

"Hey what took ya so long, Stan? Were ya out d!*king around on the job again?"

Last I heard, the plumber has discussed things with his wife and they are now seperating ... He's handed in his papers at work and is "looking for new challenges in my life". Old friends are saying: "He's picked up a nasty habit." Now seen with a strange smile on his face and humming an old song:

Holly came from ...

Seattle, WA!!!!!
Hitchhiked her way across the USA

Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

I think I frighten him........

I almost feel cheated. When I went to Mark's house the only toy's I saw were model trains and his T-birds.

"only toy's I saw were model trains ..."

That's what you thought. But they had removeable wheels, were made of silicone and that long sleek shape just beckons to find a tunnel.
