Always check the chair before you sit down.
Especially in Nursing homes.
It isn't comfortable to be delivering a 3 hour training session with a wet patch on your middle aged lady Boden wrap round dress.

About Me
- auntiegwen
- When I started this blog in 2007 I was a single parent with 3 children aged 14, 11 and 10. Now in 2016, every one of those children has grown up and left home. I now live with my lovely best friend, my second and last husband and fellow blogger Mr Adventures in Reality and part of the time with the boy wonder, the one he made earlier. We try and outwit the offspring, do the house up and travel as much as we can.

Oh no...it had to be you didn't it? :-(
Ken - thank you, when I used to be a nurse I always checked. That's what a decade in academia got me, a wet bum.
SueAnn and Ayak - you both popped up when I was typing my reply to Ken !!!!
It was a really horrible realisation, and yep Ayak it had to be me ! xxx
Why I do believe this is quite excellent advice - in all situations. Says the woman who has sat on gum more times than she can count....
I bet those old ladies did it on purpose and sat back to watch you squirm!
I'm with Betty - 'twas clearly a trap.
why were you in a nursing home? Were you putting your name down for a place?? :O)
It will have amused those old dears for minutes.. (until they forgot!!)
Oh god bless you sweetheart....did it feel like a premonition of times to come?? hope you had a grey cardi you could tie around your waist to hide it..xxx
Oh Yuk yuk yuk!
were you really delivering training or were you checking it out for a future abode. Wet patch - ew! Could have been worse though might have been a brownie
Gigi - oh no, not gum!!!!
Betty and Andy - the revenge of the old ladies for being in a home! I hadn't thought of that
Lolly - just checking out my options in case the beautiful children won't mind me in my old age
Diney - yep, it was in a dementia unit
Libby - not a grey cardie in sight, sadly :(
CQ - yep it really was
Mrs W - genuinely delivering training as for the brownie eeuurrrgghhhhh
Hats off to you for not screaming and running for the hills. Wily things, old people. I'm sorry though, I did laugh!
Oh dear God! It could have been worse. My old PA sat on the chair at reception to cover for the receptionist who had to dash to the loo. When she stood up she had blood on her white denim skirt! The silly old trout that worked there had leaked hence her dash to the loo - she could have warned the PA not to sit down! Priceless. Brilliant post dear Auntie - have been wetting myself catching up with your posts - better tell my husband not to sit on my chair eh?!
lol....Febreze and a blow drier in every nursing home bog...!!
Been there - done that - I struggled to supress hysterical laughter when it happened to me - a lesson never forgot.

Ewwww, wet patch creeping through the clothes to your bum. Did you shower when you got home???
I sat in a wet patch at the movies once, it was cocacola (I hope anyway) I jumped up as soon as my bum hit the cold and wet.
The comments were as funny as your post.
x Sandi
WG - I think it's a fairly frequent occurence!
Mobs - brilliant to have you back my love xxxx
Lena - now you tell me!!!!
Steve - I know it is funny but hopefully I'll learn :)
Sandi - the comments are always the best bit of anything I write xxx
Now that has got to be a topic for future story-telling events!
LCM x
Oh no. Just horrid.
XX
Thanks for the warning, I could be back visiting Nursing Homes again sometime soon!
LCM - my life is massively entertaining if you're not living it! x
S - it was quite unexpected and unpleasant xx
LFBS - yep, learn from your aunties mistakes :)
