A Very Sorry Tale Of Xmas Shopping
62 Answers
I had some last minute bits to buy and headed off to the shops. I was wearing an opal ring and as I went to pick something off a shelf, I caught the ring on the metal shelf edge and the opal flew out. A kindly shelf stacker joined me on all fours on the floor and bless her, she found the stone. So far, so good....and I then discovered I couldn't get up from the floor. I have little strength in my arms, my new knee was refusing to co-operate and the small pelvic fracture decided to complain.
The shelf stacker dragged her wire cage over to me so I could hang on to it to haul myself up. After much puffing and panting I was still on the floor. The shelf stacker then enlisted the help of another customer and with me hanging onto the cage, they took an arm each and tried to lift me. At this point my bra pinged open and began to work its way upwards. Eventually they hauled me to my feet and by this time I was dusty, red faced, hot & bothered.....and my bra was wrapped around my neck & fully visible as I was wearing a v necked jumper.
Not my most dignified look!

Update:
When security cameras were mentioned, I did some investigation as my friend's daughter is the manageress of that particular shop.
Yes, the incident was caught on camera but after a chat and a few meaningful looks from me, it has now been wiped. Phew.
Gness and I are convinced we are twins separated at birth but we look so odd together as I am 6ft tall and she is around 4'8"
Yes, I did manage to get my shopping done. I wrapped my scarf firmly around my neck to hide the bra and went to the check out.
I received some strange looks when I was sitting in the car trying to sort my bra out. In the end I gave up and went home.
At home when I took my coat and scarf off to reveal the bra around my neck, Mr O never batted an eyelid.
He is used to me.
