Oh GLC, I am so sorry that happened to you -- how horrible! I would have just died. I had some near misses, but nothing that bad, thank the gods.

Talking about this oh-so-appetizing topic reminded me of another embarrassing incident. When my DH, my mother and step-dad, and my brother were all visiting my grandparents in Florida years ago, the entire house worth of toilets backed up and a plumber had to be called in toot-suite.

When he ran his long fish down to determine the obstruction, it turned out to be a tampon. Being the only female of menstruating age, I could blame it on no one but myself. And with my grandfather in the room witnessing the whole thing, I was MORTIFIED. Needless to say, they went into the garbage after that, which was also interesting since I was sharing a bathroom with my brother, my DH, and my g-father. I used a LOT of tp, let's just say!
