Some of you may have seen the bra thread about the girl who doesn't like them (power to you darlin'!). Well, decided we needed an outright humor thread for CLOTHING related funny scenes.
I (sadly?) have one.
I am a Nurse Tech (CNA), and one of the things I do is empty foley caths. No big deal. Normally I drop to one knee, put the urinal at the end, open, etc.
One day, I squatted instead. See, this floor had been really, REALLY dirty, and I was unsure if the janitors had gotten up there and had a chance to mop it up properly. Well, I squat, and immediately *RIP*. But not in the back. No, I am a guy, the pressure was greatest in the front, and it spilled the boys out.
Thankfully the patient was out of it, so I finished up my work, and emptied everything being real sure to keep my exposed self as hidden as possible, just in case. I came REAL close to dragging that floor, but did not thankfully. Afterwards I shoved myself back inside my pants, stood up, and made sure I did not do ANY bending at all. As long as I stayed straight up, the tear did not show, and nothing was exposed. I finished off the last half hour or so of my shift, and went home.
So, anything like this for y'all? Any funny stories relating to clothing or object things, and not a verbal joke?
As an NA and CMA I have caught the button front top on a wheel chair handle and flashed. That was when I learned to always wear a tank top under that kind.
Once when bending to drawn blood from a sitting patiet I heard the big " rip" up the back side. I borrowed a coat from the lab for the rest of the day so by undies would be covered.
I hate how scrubs that are big enough for my hips are so gapped at the top where I am not indowed. So I always wear tank under any scrub top.
Nothing as dramatic as some of the posts already here but......
It was wrong bra choice really.
Male nurse and I were bathing a demented elderly man when I bent over and the girls popped out.
Not even really thinking about it (I have these issues from time to time as it goes with the bust size) I took a few seconds to pop myself back into place - much to the amusement of my co-worker and patient.
I had a patient resting on the doorway doing the hey baby Im a man lean. He had a major malfunction of his hospital pants. His lil soldier was awake for the morning and wanted to see what was going on outside the barracks. Poor guy. rotfl
I took my wife on a clothes shopping spree for her birthday a couple days ago. We went into Macy's where she found a pair of shoes and a coat/vest/whatever (I don't know what it was but apparently "it was so cute"). When we went to the cash register to check out the bill came up more than I expected. Being the guy that I am, I had not brought enough to cover her shopping and take us to dinner. I didn't tell her because I didn't want her to feel bad. Much to my suprise she pulled out a couple of clothing discount coupons and used them. Then it was my turn to feel bad, while I now did have enough to buy dinner, I felt stupid that my wife had to use coupons on her birthday present. Oh well. She still loves me.

i have ddds, and that makes for a bra with a substantial sized underwear. one time when i was walking my patient, my underwire popped free and poked me in the side. i tried to be professional and not holler, but the farther we walked, the farther out the underwire poked. finally, as we're walking back toward the patient's room, the underwire popped all the way free and sprang out from under my t shirt to fall on the floor.
"don't worry," the patient said. "it happens to my wife all the time."
and this is a story passed on by my dh who swears it's true:
he was taking an icu patient to mri accompanied by an rt who was famous for wearing ankle weights at work. assuming that they were filled with sand, he didn't bother to take them off before going into mri with the patient. whereupon he got sucked into the scanner, ankles first.
the patient was terrified, the techs were screaming with laughter and dh was trying to pry the rt loose from the scanner to no avail. evidently the scanners cannot be turned off to pry loose an errant staff member. so they tried to remove the ankle weights. no dice. he was sucked into the scanner well and good, half leaniing on the patient and trying to hold himself up. someone, in their infinite wisdom decided that the way to get him out of there was to remove his scrubs, since they were between the weights and the scanner. only problem was, he was going commando.
dh held up a bath blanket while the rt and the techs worked him out of his scrubs and left them hanging, stuck to the scanner by the ankle weights. the patient, a little old lady, got the full show. the rt worked the rest of his shift in paper scrubs, and is no longer allowed to wear ankle weights at work.
a co-worker wore white scrub pants to work one morning. getting into her car, she didn't know someone had left a piece of [color=sienna]chocolate on the driver's seat.
i laughed so hard i started bawling. she was a good sport about it, too.
really, it did not happen to me. i wouldn't have been such a good sport---and i wear chocolate brown scrubs just in case!
I can never find scrubs that fit well enough so every time I lean over everyone get a full view of my girls. Which in retrospect, if I want the patient to relax all I have to do is lean over. LOL. I remember one patient in patient in particular. He was yelling in pain and cussing us out, and I leaned forward to put some meds in his central line, he turned his head, got a good view and just stared but didn't make another peep. When I walked out of the room the nurses asked me how I got him to be quiet, I said I let him see my boobs. LOL

Bad, I know. But effective.
Absolutely brazen! LOL!
Let's see how long it takes for you to get indignant responses to that one!
We worked in brain injury rehab. She was getting a patient out of bed (1 person assisted transfer) when I heard her calling me STAT!
I ran into the room and here she stood with her scrub pants around her ankles...during the transfer, the pt pulled on the drawstrings and away they went!
I laughed my butt off while I pulled them back up for her. Then we made a new rule:
No exposed strings!
....and I think it's hilarious that "you showed him your boobs"...LOL
You know nurses tape? The white stuff we use on pretty much everything? I have a big wad of it holding the underside of my sleeve to the torso of the top.
And one night I crotched down to check a suction drain. I heard the rip and immediately thought it the back part of the pants (as you do). It was when I stood up I realised the outside seam of my pants had ripped from my knee to my ankle. Which was odd cos that's the baggiest part of the pant and I'm not that big in the leg that it'd be from spillage. It was really odd.
Another time doing a roll on a slightly demented woman I heard a loud ripped. She'd torn my pocket straight from my top.
I sew my own scrub tops, and must have done something wrong on the side seams on one, because both side seams unraveled on me one night. It went up from the bottom, bit by bit, without me realizing it until everything was flapping in the breeze. Safety pins get a little uncomfortable from hip to armpit!
