Words We Dread to Hear...

Time to draw from our memory bank of past experiences! We have all lived through situations that just the thought of can make us want to cringe. What's trivial to some might be monumental to others.

I was speaking at a conference once and decided to use the restroom before I was scheduled to talk. As luck would have it, there was no toilet paper in my stall. Before I could think of a dignified way to ask for some, the person in the next stall said, "Hey...there's no toilet paper in my stall, could you pass me some from yours.

I now officially dread the words: THERE'S NO TOILET PAPER IN THIS STALL!

Based on a past experience what words do you dread to hear? PLEASE SHARE!

Have fun with this! Even playing with words we dread can be joyful!

Jan I'm with you if anyone one tells me 'You can't do that' my answer is 'You want to bet!' Whether it's the child in me or my stupidity I don't know, but I do know I would walk over hot coals to prove my point anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

The TP thing is very annoying, I've gotten so I look now before closing the stall door, and try to have a tissue or two in my purse.

Lots of things medical come to mind, but they're unpleasant and I'm on vacation so not going there. Taking a wee break from the sun to spend some time on the computer, ate lunch and then going to a meeting ...I think.

Hugs
Sandy

I dread the words, "We need to talk about this again..." SIGH. When my BF says it he means the conversation we had really isn't over so let me present my POV again.
