So, I really need to share my embarrassing moment with someone. I don't know why, but I'm really, really embarrassed over this!

My boyfriend and I were in a cycling shop today and I noticed that had some "hoo-ha cream" to prevent chaffing. I thought it was funny because I seem to be one of the few people that actually calls girlie bits hoohas. Well, I was reading the directions (they were pretty amusing) but they said "Do put in all your nooks and crannies (for external use only)." This confused me. I even mentioned it to my boyfriend and he agreed it seems a little contradictory. Well, I decided to comment to the cashier, who was a fairly young guy, and he was just like "We are not gunna have this conversation right now!" I mean, everyone was laughing about it, including me. Well, I figured it out, but I still think they should have worded it differently. Oh well, needless to say, I'm feeling a little embarrassed and had to share with someone... He must think I'm an idiot, being a woman and all!

Thanks for letting me share
Thanks for this!

I think that's pretty funny!! If I was there with my sister I could guarantee she'd be there being noisey about it, taking a photo with it to post on facebook and making a big scene. He probably had a laugh about it later. I wouldn't worry, some things just tickle people!
Thanks for this!

Lynn, that is hilarious!!! I totally shoudl have done that!! If anything, just to see his reaction and my boyfriend's reaction! Hehehehe!

Oh, I'm sure he had a big laugh about it later with his buddies at the bike shop. "Hey, did you see that girl that came in with her boyfriend earlier? Well.. She asked me where you put the hooha cream!! Ahahah!" C'est la vie It is a pretty entertaining event to think about AFTERwards, lol.

I did think I figured out where you're supposed to put it though. Basically, all around the girlie bits except directly inside you. Dunno, still sounds like weird stuff to me...

Thanks guys, you definitely helped me feel better! :-D

When I was young I was working at a store and I was not very worldly at that time. A man about my age approached me and asked if we carried prophylactics. Ignorance is bliss. I smiled at him, looked him straight in the eye and said "if you tell me what they are, I'll tell you if we carry them." I don't know who was more embarrassed, me for not knowing what he was talking about or him having to explain it to me.

Thanks Roman Sunburn. I know this must be confusing to others, so I'll explain. I responded to this thread in a humorous fashion, then I had second thoughts about finding humor in a embarrassing moment. I worried Roman Sunburn might get more embarrassed, so I deleted my post out of respect.

So this is basically what I said: This is one of those 'paperbag' moments and I don't blame you for being confused. I would have been confused too, since 'nooks and crannies' isn't exactly the most technical term for instructions. Since hindsight is always better - I would have said to his remark "we're not gunna have this conversation now are we?" I would have said "oh yes we are ....and maybe you can show me how to apply it" Then he would be the one blushing lol

I'm happy you no longer feel embarrassed - I'm often a little naive and we've all had those moments. Glad you could see the humor.

That's a very funny story AAAAA When I was in my late teens I was a late bloomer...didn't know hardly anything about sex. I used to think 'oral sex' meant you talk dirty LOL. You know 'oral communication' means writing, so oral sex must mean you talk dirty.

Lynn that seems like a perfectly logical leap to me, had I heard of the term I probably would have thought the same thing.

I know that this wasn't intended to be a joke, but I just don't get some jokes. Even on April fools day when PC had a banner that said its 115th year I simply thought it was a typo.

I believe I have at least average intelligence but my brain does not work that way. Sometimes products have ironic claims on them where the manufacturerer is trying to be funny, it all goes over my head.

Off topic for a minute.

Oh yeah AAAAA, you think you're bad...I actually PM'd Doc John and told him he made a mistake and put 115 instead of 15. Had no clue what so ever it was April Fools Day. Joke was on me LOL.

It's a professional biking event and problem I think; I would deem that the store clerk should have known:

This is actually the stuff:

I'm sure he did know, he just wasn't about to tell me! Hehehe, at least, not in front of my boyfriend? If I had been by myself, he probably would have thought I was trying to pick him up, hehehe.

And thanks for all the stories, they really have helped me feel better Everyone has those silly moments where we just want to go crawl in a hole, but we forget that when they happen to us! Thanks again, so much, everyone
Thanks for this!
