Do I post this? What good could come from this? A hardy laugh and a little sympathy? Okay, I'm in.
Dear Alisha,
Today I went in for a bikini wax. As the lady got to waxing down there, she made the comment, “You must be single.” What’s that supposed to mean!?
Can we ask the readers about the most awkward thing a doctor, beautician, or other professional has ever told them?
Sincerely,
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Dear Um, Fuzzy,
I think when it comes to matters like this, no comment is the only appropriate comment.
Readers, I'll allow it. What is the most awkward thing a doctor, beautician, or other professional has ever told you?
Behave yourselves please.
p.s. In the near future I will treat you to my thoughts on tight pleather boots, jeggings, boyfriend jeans, and over-sized shirts, to name a few.

Them: Are you part Indian?
Me: no. why?
Them: Indian women have the most hair. They grow hair everywhere on their bodies.
Me: huh. thanks.
I heard this from someone but don't remember who (and it really wasn't me, I will share one of mine later)
A woman had an OB appointment and usually showered before but ran out of time. So she ran upstairs and saw a wash cloth of the counter and quickly cleaned down there with it.
When the doctor began the exam he said "Someone made an effort today" She wondered why he said that but quickly forgot as she left the office.
Later that afternoon he daughter asked her where the washcloth that was on the counter was.
The mom asked why?
She said, "It had my special sparkles in it"
I've heard the sparkly wash cloth before the OB appointment story enough times to believe it has to be an urban legend.
After being brazillian waxed once, the lady said to me (in thick vietnamese accent) "it look very nice. Some women come in and afterwards, it looks okay. But yours looks very nice."
Awkward compliment? My only response was thank you.
These are funny, keep um coming.
Does it make it any better that after the wax lady made the comment about me being single, she said something about me not wearing a wedding ring? Still, you can't be in that situation and not make the connection between her comment and my -er- grooming status.
You all know about tipping the esti right? Maybe these comments are directed at you because you didn't know about tipping? Never had any weird personal comments from her but she's a little too into astrology etc. Just throwin that one out there.
oops, forgot to make that one anonymous. I bet you know who this is now Alisha huh. Well whatever.
I went in for an eyebrow wax and without asking for it got my upper lip done too... she said I needed it. A few days later when I mentioned it to my parents my Dad said, "Good, you needed it done."
I guess I should take the {not so subtle} hint.
To the last anonymous commenter, sadly, I don't know who you are. It just says your comment was deleted and I don't watch this every second of the day. (close)
But I'd like to know who you are.
Here's one for you that was totally inappropriate in a different way...
When I was pregnant with my first baby and went in for my 2nd ultrasound to find out what we were having the doctor said he was 51% sure it was a boy (ps, this is after he couldn't tell during the first ultrasound since he had a ghetto ultra-sound machine he'd bought off the internet... that was my first clue he was a little off, but with your first baby you don't really know what to expect, right?). Anyway, he was being really weird about the whole thing and just kept asking me what I thought the baby was going to be. Mind you, I was 22 weeks at this point and it should have been blatantly obvious what sex the baby was. Finally, my patience was wearing thin and I told him if he were me, and he had his whole family waiting to hear what the verdict was, what would he tell them. He said, and I quote, "Just tell them you're having twins, one's a boy and one's a girl, but one of them is going to die."
Needless to say that was my last appointment with him. Come to find out, he'd had a few mal-practice issues and a horribly bad reputation at the local hospital. Never, ever, have I blindly picked a doctor again!
Lisa, I'm absolutely floored. What a bizarre thing for a doctor to tell you! What was your first reaction? Did you think he was joking? Do you now think he was joking? Did he clarify that it wasn't twins? what did you say?? I just can not even imagine how that scene would have played out!
Deleted that last one because I felt guilty. Maybe I'll have to save my comments for "the best of," when the need to vent outweighs the guilt to do the right thing.
Oh Rachel. We live our lives by different standards.
Before I had kids I went to get a pedicure. It was a guy painting my toenails and he asked me if I was pregnant. When I told him no, I wasn't he told me it was ok that he asked that because he is fat too.
