I recieved a vibrator in the mail today. Nothing unusual about that. It was packed in a standard Australia Post envelope. Then? I look at the back and see ‘Sender: Sexcite Me Parties‘
So much for discreet. Nathan looked at me oddly.
‘Wonder what the postman thought…’ he said.
‘Don’t worry honey, it’s not his job to judge.’
We giggled. Our poor postman. It’s not the first odd package he has delivered me.
Anyway, I stupidly opened it up with Amy in the room. ‘A present! A present!’ she yelled. I gave her the pretty purple ribbon and the tag with ‘Sexcite me’ written all over it. Thank goodness she didn’t decide that she needed to take THAT to the supermarket.
While Amy was distracted I shoved the instructions into my pocket for reading in the car. After I finished reading it I was struck by a thought.
‘What the hell is the world coming to if a vibrator comes with ‘How to Insert‘ instructions?’
LMAO!!!
well there are so many fiddly bits in that damn thing…that some might need assistance how to use it ‘effectively’…lol…
I figure if they send instructions it is because someone somewhere tried it in a way it wasn’t meant to be tried…. much like those sun shades for your windshield on your car, they say don’t use while driving. I mean, really, are there people out there????
Work in an Emergency Room for a while and you will discover exactly why there are directions on many items. People are very, umm, inventive, with things.
I don’t even want to think about what Jean has seen!^^
hehe

Don’t knock it, there was a time I could have done with instructions.
In fact, after a few beers…

Imagine the calls and letters that prompted the inclusion of instructions?

Oh, dear. I’ve heard some ER stories from a friend who is a nurse. There are some sick, sick people out there.

Amen, sister. Some things you just assume a girl would know how to do.

They have to have instructions on EVERYTHING. I once read that a small ladder company had to go out of business because they couldn’t afford to create the warning stickers required to avoid a lawsuit and still make money on the ladders.

I have a friend who is a dentist. Wanna take a guess at how a patient chipped her front teeth? I’m not joking.

Ahahahaha! thats the funniest thing i’ve heard all day LOL! What an exciting package you got lol!
What?? No pictures?? I guess your camera is still out of action?
Instructions and disclaimers have to be on EVERYTHING these days. That way people can’t sue the company when they use things the wrong way.
Have fun with it.
LOL! Never mind what the postman thought, doesn’t he always RING twice?!
Oh bugger!! Off topic here, the touch pad on my laptop has gone on strike. I’ve had to plug in the clicky little mouse. I haven’t used it since I bought the laptop.
Obviously, a complicated device. The ‘Dirty Old Man’ in me wants to say – “If you need any help with those instructions, just let me know.” Of course, if I DID say something like that, Nathan would likely be over here shortly to kick my ass with his pet kangaroo – if he HAS a pet kangaroo – don’t all you Aussies have pet ‘roo’s?

Well, if you put it in your ear, you might scramble your brains.

I totally can’t judge unless you tell us what kind of vibrator it is. I mean, if it has like four vibrating heads with an inflatable something-or-other then you know, instructions might be necessary.
I think they should send me one. I SO want my postman to see that.
Jellys last blog post..Dear McDonalds, If you take pickles off a cheesburger, you can’t call it “Deluxe” even if you add other stuff.
I’m sure that the postman has seen many worse things than that
Please keep the mice, spiders, and kittens away from this one

My question is: HOW do they find you to send you these things? How can I get on their mailing list?
