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?
i worked a code with my fly open the whole time, we were on a tennis court in the upscale part of town and i didnt even know till i was getting in the truck to drive.
we have this other nurse that will wear, i swear the thinnest dang pants all the time, and under it.. plaid, striped or whatever color undies that never match! i wonder if anyone has ever talked to her. totally unprofessional..but i just cant say anything.. she would be ticked!!
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.
Heehee, freudian slip on the clothing malfunction thread?
I'm teasing, it caught my eye and I thought it was cute.
I was assisting with a central line insertion by crouching under the drape to hold the patient's arm in position. I had just lost a whole bunch of weight and I was wearing a pair of scrub pants that were too big. They fell down just enough to give folks a view of my thong. When I say "folks", I mean the doctor doing this procedure: a most stern, cantankerous, old man. A kindly coworker ran up to me and adjusted my pants, stifling laughter, approaching me with a "You look soooo pretty in pink!"
I did an internship at iv infusion center after i graduated in order to get more experience with starting and managing ivs. I was loosing weight pretty rapidly (combination of working a lot and dieting/ exercising) and wasn't able to buy new scrubs until I got paid from my weekend job. So after losing almost 40 lbs my scrubs were hanging on me. well I started an iv on this middle aged gentleman, but couldn't get a flash back, so I got onto my knees with his hand in the dependant position (he was very dehidrated) and was able to get a flash finally. I was concentrating so hard on getting the iv in place when suddenly i hear him say in a very sultry voice "some one's got a tattoo." i looked up at him and he was staring right down my shirt smiling like a kid in a toy store. aparently the shirt was so oversized on me that he had a full view of my breasts (one of which has a tattoo on it). Boy did I turn red!
I also don't wear the snap front scrub tops anymore for this reason:
At 19 i started working as a CNA in my hometown's nursing home, and i was so happy after passing my boards that i went straight to walmart and bought 4 sets of scrubs, 2 of which the tops were snap front. I thought i could wear a tshirt with one of them on, open, or alone with them snapped closed if i felt like it. I started my new job the next day, squeezed past a little old lady in a wheelchair, but didn't realize that my shirt got caught on the wheelchair handle. i felt a draft and looked down, my whole shirt had been unsnapped down the front and i was staring at my lacy pink bra. needless to say, after that i only wore regular scrub tops, or used the snap front tops as short sleeved labcoats
Deatachable bra strap detatched while I was feeding someone and fell down my sleeve into a patients soup in front of every person that worked in the building.
Does anyone remember wearing the uniforms that zip up the back?
Some of those dresses were sort of tight-fitting and you just couldn't slip them off over your head.
My "cute" little White Swan uniform with the faux apron across the front was one that zipped in the back. My zipper pull busted off. I had to have my room mate help me out of the darn thing.
Not funny, but just reminds me of how stupid those uniforms could be. You would throw your shoulders out of joint trying to zip yourself up or down. And lord help you if you were wearing those one-piece "jump-suits" and you had to pee.
They looked mighty sharp and professional, but I'll take today's "scrubs" any day!!
My very first clinical rotation, I had a wardrobe malfunction that really cracked my instructor up. My elderly male pt. was post op from total knee replacement. He exposed himself to me right off the bat, and I was absolutely in tears (this was back when I was young and innocent). A couple of hours later I squatted down to pick up something off the floor. As I rose, the bell of my stethoscope caught the hem of my dress, unbeknownst to me. I stood up, and my dress was suddenly above my waist. My nursing instructor, dry as could be, said, "I guess you got him back."
Was looking after a demented 90-something, and was helping the aide move her up in the bed. Well, my bra strap slipped down my arm, the LOL grabbed it, and started pulling for all she was worth, and this lady was STRONG. Now, I don't have all that much, but what I do have was being sucked rapidly into my armpit on the strap side, and compressed to non-existence on the other. I'm screaming, the pt's yelling, "I got it Henry, I got it!" and the aide is trying to pull open the pt's fingers enough to free me. The underwire went "SPRONG" and starts digging into my chest between the boobs. Now I'm really yelling, "Mrs. Smith, please let go!"
Another nurse came in just as the pt decided to grab the most prominent part of the aide's anatomy with her free hand, and now the CNA's yelling, I'm thinking I'm going to need reconstructive surgery for an acute case of "T***s on a stick" from being impaled by the underwire, and it finally took two additional people to free both the CNA and myself.
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 have been sitting here laughing my butt off at all these posts, but I swear to God, this one takes the cake! :roll:roll
Ok so I will tell one on myself...not nearly as funny as others. One day I was wearing a pair of scrub pants that were just too big for me. I had been fussing with them all night, tying and retying them to keep them from falling down. I went off the floor to go to the cafeteria. No sooner did I get into the elevator, well, the scrub pants were at my ankles! I pulled them up real quick, but I am sure security got an eyeful. I was wearing underwear, however!
Another story, this time, a coworker. She pointed out her wardrobe malfunction, apparently she went to the bathroom and noticed that her bra was not providing quite enough coverage. So, she came back out and asked everyone "why didn't anyone tell me that my nipples have been showing!" Nobody had noticed, or if they did, they didn't want to say anything. So she went around the whole night with her arms over her chest. One of my more mischeivous coworkers at the time decided to punk her though. The next morning, the word "nip" was written by the nurse's name on the assignment board and someone from dayshift, who wasn't in on the joke, was going around asking "who's nip?" :chuckle
the scrub pants were at my ankles! I pulled them up real quick, but I am sure security got an eyeful. I was wearing underwear, however!
Eep! I never wear underwear to work anymore so let's hope my pants never fall down!
The reason i don't wear underwear is because something about wearing them with scrubs makes them ride up... and up... and up, until they're sticking out a good 6" over my scrub pants, which are falling down. So all night I'm constantly hiking up my pants and picking an ever-present tremendous wedgie out of my butt. One day I couldn't take it anymore so I removed my underwear in the bathroom (luckily I had my purse), and I felt so much better! My pants seem to stay where they belong instead of falling down, and I haven't had a wedgie since.
