Things you wish you never saw . . . please see Post #46, pg. 4, before posting

This is open to everyone and your posts don't have to pertain to my particular story.

Is there something that you saw and wished it could be unseen? Something that you would like to have erased from your memory?


My story:

I finally came into the modern world and signed up for on-line banking. I saw all of my accounts and clicked on one "College Account" thinking this was a certain fund that I use to pay for college. But, no. It was my DD#1's account . . . The DDs get a "free" account with the bank so long as I'm primary.

I guess I'm allowed to see what they are spending their money on.

I wish I never saw this because there were a few (in my mind) questionable expenditures. It's her money, but I was shocked at the balance. She has hardly anything left to last her the next 3 months at school!

I'm biting my Momma tongue, waiting to see how this will pan out. In the mean time . . . as Sgt. Shultz would say "I know notink!"



How did you handle the things you wish you never saw?

The website PeopleofWalmart. Dear god, I still cannot believe people walk around in public (or even private) dressed like that. All I can think is "that cannot possibly be real." But apparently it is.

CSI Las Vegas did an episode around body modifications.
Returning from a commercial they launched into a scene in a tattoo/piercing shop. Which opened with a close up of a tongue splitting.

I was lunging for the remote when it ended, but I still can't unsee that.

My upper supervision in Korea. I'm all for letting loose and having a good time, but it is really hard to keep a straight face and take a guy seriously when the last time you saw him he was skunk drunk and motorboating a Juicy girl. It does add a certain flavor of humor to the "responsible drinking" lectures though

Motorboating?

The last scene of the movie "A.I."  It makes me cry just remembering it.

hehehe - I assume you mean of the human variety?  reminds me of my HS trip to Spain, where on the beach we saw many, ahem, older, rather paunchy men, wearing "banana hammock" bathing suits. which leave very little to one's imagination.

The door to my parent's room was cracked open a bit and I was about to knock on it when my Dad walked by. Naked. And I saw him. 
Thank God he was in the middle of a step and the leg closest to me hid a vital part of his anatomy or it would  have been MUCH worse.
Even a side view with male anatomy hidden was still too much.

Motorboating?

Face in female chest (or guy with moobs). Shake head side to side (like saying no) very quickly. Make engine sounds while doing it.

Not the worst thing I've ever seen, but it is giggle inducing.

Yup.  The worst had to be the home-made bikinis on the beach at Yalta in 1971.

The Borat bikini...  *shudder*

Trust me they do.  I was just there tonight doing my once a month household non food good purchases.  I just finished bleaching my eyes.

Heh. Do you see equally "fashion-challenged" people in other places around you besides Walmart? If not, why do you think it happens there?

"banana hammock" bathing suits

This phrase--which I will not probably not be able to forget so vivid is the associated image in my mind--reminds me of a joke I once heard on Johnny Carson. I cannot remember the name of the comedian though I think he went on to become rather well known. He wasn't at the time, though. He was talking about his move to California and the lifestyle here and he mentioned wanting to buy a California bathing suit, the kind, you know, that "makes you look like you're trying to smuggle grapes into the country."

That's another unforgettable image.

We had a new guy start recently at work.  He's in serious denial about what size clothing he needs to wear.   One day his shirt was so small that his gut was hanging out and his pants were so low that his butt was showing.  I ended up having to ask my manager to talk to him.
