I have been noticing that the forum is getting very heavy, I think we need to lighten up a bit, so..............


Tell us all about something really funny that has happened to you..........please!!!


I will start.


Last night I went to the supermarket to buy meat.

Now you have to picture this and it aint pretty. I am overweight, I had sweats on, leaning on a cane , no make up, no jewelry nothing but the raw deal.

I am leaning over the beef counter and a handsome old gent comes next to me. He asks for help picking meat, of course I oblige. He only wants 1 good steak so I tell him which one I would choose and why, he then asks me what I would serve with it and I tell him. He goes on to tell me he is a widower, his wife died two years earlier and he has been eating junk food and frozen food since then, he apparently has no family, being me of course I said I was sorry, he asked if I was married, I answered yes but told him my husband was in a care home with AD. he then said he was sorry. He went on to say that he wanted to try and cook something for himself so I gave him a few tips on how to do the steak etc. We chatted generally about things for about 5 minutes and then clean out of the blue he said.. " you have been so nice and I would like to see you again,may I take you to dinner"

You could have knocked me down with a feather, here was this lovely man, immaculately dress, expensive ring on a finger, Rolex watch even asking this rather scruffy looking old gal out for a meal.

I politely declined if course and he seems quite gutted, he didn't push it , he was very polite but as I left he did say he really hoped he would see me again.


Off I went to my car, feeling a bit like a teenager..so what do you think ????
 

Good on you Jeannine!! You could have went out for dinner. That's harmless. You should have exchanged numbers at the least. No harm in chatting either.
 

I would have said, Yes! Apparently, you looked okay to him. Possibly, you reminded him of his deceased wife. It seems you looked better than you thought.
 
Oh you are all terrible LOL, can you imagine explaining to family where you met him ... well he picked me up on the steak counter.

He was a very nice man but I am married .

After being with my husband since I was 16 I had sort of forgotten how it felt to be flirted with which put a dance in my step as I left the shop

Actually I think he was more likely to be after a good cook

So come on lets here your funny stories
 
A grocery store story from me too. Happened many years ago, before I was with my husband. I was without a car for a while, and needed to go to the grocery store. Not really funny, but fun. A male friend of mine offered to give me a ride to the store as he had shopping to do as well. My friend is gay, so there we were , a couple of friends walking through the store checking out all the cute guys with running commentary on each. I happened to mention I found the man in the butcher shop attractive, and I liked visiting with him. My friend looks at me and with a perfectly serious face says "Sorry, Hun, but he would me more interested in ME than YOU." Had many people looking at the two of us hysterically laughing in the middle of the store.
 
Jeannine, nice to feel like a teen once in awhile. you should have at least had coffee with him. If he got fresh you could beat him off with your cane. A couple of years ago I was at a flea market. I saw an item that I liked and as I reached for it a really nice man who looked about my age reached for it at the same time. The lady behind the counter noticed what happened and said,"maybe you two should get together and then you could both have it. The man in a very thick German accent, which by the way I am partial to, said he wouldn't mind that a bit. I was embarrassed and turned red. The man let me have the item smiled and walked away. The hubby who was a couple of counters away came up to me and asked why I was so red. I told him I was getting so hot in the sun. The lady behind the counter grinned and winked at me. I smiled back and rather enjoyed the whole thing.
 
Marie, that story is absolutely priceless super friendship too. thank u so much for sharing..mmm I did wonder if irher one of you scored with though sshh.


Ruth n Jersey. Oh how I want call you Jersey Ruth.. your story made me laugh, the picture of an indignant me beating him off with my fancy cane.

Your flea market story is great, it is good to feel a wee bit naughty now and again isn't it.

What we see when we don't have a camera eh!!

Thank you too for sharing. super stories.


I remember many years ago swimming in a river with a crowd of friends, some time later we were talking about it and one of the men said "I remember that day very clearly, that was the day when Jeannine's left one half fell out of her bikini, I was very put out and said what a lie . A few days later he came over to the house to return something and when my husband had left the room he gave me an envelope and said." open it when I am gone" I thought it was a card saying sorry for embarrassing me but when I opened it , it was the photo's taken that day and the negatives. One was in a small envelope that simply said.. " Our Secret" and yep, dead right, there was me emerging from the river with most of me falling out on one side. I still remember that bikini, it was grey denim trimmed with lace..I never wore it again!!! It was never mentioned again either.

That's funny Jeannine, it reminded me of something that happened to me as a young teenager, many moons ago. I was on vacation in Florida with my mother and my sister and never was water skiing before so I went on a beginners learning ride and was doing just fine. A couple of cute guys were running the boat, must have been in their late 20s.

Well, I was wearing a bikini too, and suddenly I lost my top completely. I let go of the rope handle and got under the water quick, managed to grab my top and get it back on all while treading water and facing my back toward the boat. They swung around and I continued the lesson, I was soooo embarrassed and still don't know if they saw anything or how much they saw, it wasn't mentioned. :eek:

When I got back to the dock where my mother and sister was I was going on and on about it. My mother just blew it off and said don't worry, nobody saw you, nobody was looking at you. Well, I hoped she was right. So much for skiing with a bikini on. :D
 
Ha ha ha , don't you just wish you could go back in time and reilve some of these things, in those days my bosooms where worth looking at now they are so far south they could almost tie my shoes

Thank you for making me laugh...

mm... meet market, I will not forget that one, thank you
 
Hey, free grub is free grub if it were me I would have accepted his dinner invite.

*pondering*.......hmmm, no wait a minute in my case that would mean that he might have been, well you know, and he might have wrongly assumed that I was also.

On second thought I'd have declined also......pheww, that was a close one. :)
 
This one just happened yesterday,and although it had nothing to do with me being embarrassed or anything (well,maybe a little cuz it was really dumb) it WAS funny. I had a doctor appointment for my final check after my hand surgery. Was a little early so decided to hit the restroom first as I was going to go to the mall afterwards and knew this one would be easier to find :) It was pouring rain out,so I had my umbrella,which even after shaking as much water off as I could,was still dripping. So I walk into the restroom (it was a single person restroom) and tossed my umbrella in the sink-along with my purse,not thinking. Suddenly,the water turns on (automatic sensor).Pours water into the side pocket of my purse,right where my cell phone is. I grabbed it out and dried it off-so far it`s still working-phew! My checkbook didn`t fare so well though....

Worse things have gone into purses......my sister was walking her Pugs in the park when she met a lady sitting on a blanket who wanted to pet the dogs. Everything was going fine until one of them went over to the lady's open purse, lifted his leg and proceeded to pee into it. My sister was humiliated and immediately offered to replace the purse and contents but the lady was quite nice about it and said there was no need.
 
Something similar happened to me. About 5 months ago, I let my dog out the front door for a break in the yard. (He always goes into my back yard, which is fenced. But because of the larger no. of steps in the back, and since he had hurt back leg, I let him out the front for a change.) My neighbors were sitting on their porch, and my dog immediately goes up to them, hoping they will pet him, and suddenly he pees just beside them on their porch. I profusely apologized, ran to my house, got the cleaning materials and spent a few minutes making sure everything was spotless.

They appreciated it, and now we are even closer friends than before. We invite each other to family get-togethers, neighborhood events, etc.
Isn't it amazing what a little bit of courtesy will do to solidify friendships? They now dog-sit for us when we leave home for a day or two.
 
Mrs Robinson, oh my goodness how awful for you,,,but silly funny too. My one expensive hang up is my collection of designer bags, I would have been mortified if one of then had filled with water. Thank you for sharing, I hope you hand is well now


I know Pugs I used to show them years ago so I know how cheeky they can be, I feel for your sister but ut great to meet someone who is gracious.

Exwisehe. your dog too, maybe he knew you needed to get to know your neighbors better. Thank you too dor sharing a very cute story
 
A few years ago I went to the Doctor's with my Husband. My Husband got annoyed with me because I was explaining the problems he was experiencing.The Doctor left the room and my Husband started telling me not to talk anymore. I got up and walked out of the room. The waiting room was crowded so I went outside. A few minutes later a crazy woman came up to me yelling. She said "Do you think I'm fat ,my husband is always calling me fat." Then she started pushing me and kept yelling at me. Finally a guard heard the commotion and came to help me. I was scared to death. When I got back in the office my husband was waiting for me to help him fill out the forms the Doctor gave him. I said "Oh now you need me "! If you think I helped him with the forms then you are crazier then that Lady. He never said anything like that to me again.:D:D
