We often hear of people snooping in friends/neighbours/family's medicine cabnets, while using the facilities.

Well-

Ever snoop into anyone elses stuff, or business? Ever get caught? Got any good stories of doing so, or of anyone else getting caught doing so (your stuff, or someone else's stuff)?

Or, do you have any other good, funny "getting caught" stories?


Here is one to open:

When 13 or so, my son and his friend opened a spare bedroom door and "caught" the friends father watching a "porno movie" His embarassed response to them was was a very funny, "OK, you caught me".

Naw...he should've blurted out, "This isn't what you think!", then launched into a lengthy and tortured explanation of how he was assisting in an undercover police investigation of prurient films...etc, etc, etc...

That would have been a lot funnier.

Investigating medicine cabinet contents in someone else's rest room? I find such aberrent behaviour rather odd and bordering on psychotic.

Curiousity killed the crapper.

My God! Aspirin! That means his wife has headaches! And that means his sex life is lousy despite their twelve kids. Woo-Hoo! Gossip!!

Couple days ago I was sharpening knives at a friends house (it's one of my few talents). I cut myself, another talent, and asked for a band-aid. I wouldn't think of going prowling around in her medicine cabinet looking for one.

On Thanksgiving I walked into my daughter-in-law's parents' bathroom and saw that there was no toilet paper on the roller. I went to the kitchen where my daughter-in-law was working and asked her to come with me. I led her to the bathroom where I asked, "Where does your mother keep the toilet paper? I don't want to snoop." (Well, truth be told, I did want to snoop, but I wouldn't do that.) She told me "Middle drawer on the right." I took out the toilet paper and put it on the roller. And if it ever happens again, I'll know where to find it!

Nothing...yet. I've been lucky. ;-D

I would like to add that I don't use the slit in my underwear. Seems complicated and pointless to me. I just pull them down a bit at the front instead.

I did try using the slit in my underwear for a while when I was a kid, but I soon realized it was a stupid idea which didn't work very well, so that's when I stopped following the implied social convention embodied in the aforesaid underwear slit, said "Damn the torpedoes!", and the rest is history.

Besides, that's why Billy the Kid got shot by Pat Garret. He was trying to use the slit in his underwear at the time, and he got tangled up in it, losing a valuable second or two. The rest is history. ;-D

Twelve years old.

Visiting a cousin.

In the garage a window and a door opened out towards an expansive wheat field.

Proceeding to exit through the locked door that opened outwards.

Cousin, "No you can't go out that door!"
Why not?
Cousin, "Just cuz."
Just cuz ... why?
Cousin, "Just cuz my father says...If I do ... something bad will happen."
Oh yeah. Something bad...like what?
Cousin, "I don't know...just something bad."
Grownups are always saying stuff like that to kids...what could happen? You're just scared. Lets go.

So we ran through the door to the empty field together.

Above the door was a "paper hornet's nest " the size of a football that was knocked to the ground when it swung open.

We both discovered "calamine lotion " from our mothers and developed a new respect for the word "No" from our fathers.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

I remember the last time. I had to have some fancy x-rays done. They put me on a schedule of downing laxatives I followed faithfully. The laxatives didn't work until after the x-rays. Just as I was leaving the hospital. I used the hospital crapper.

I've never even considered snooping in another person's medicine cabinet. If there was no toilet paper on the holder, I have opened likely cupboard doors, but didn't pay attention to anything else that may have been in the cupboards.

After being told by a visitor that he has helped himself to small quantities of medications containing codeine, etc. from other people's medicine cabinets, I moved my prescription medications to my ensuite bathroom which is not used by visitors.

My embarrassing moment wasn't really snooping, it was curiosity. Staying with in-laws in Hungary, I came across set of very small plastic drawers on their kitchen counter. Each drawer was labeled with the name of the spice or ingredient it contained. Most names I recognized, but while I could tell that "porcukor" must be some kind of sugar (cukor), I wondered what "por" meant? When I pulled open the drawer to look I discovered that the drawer was not nearly as deep as I expected. It pulled completely out from the holder, tipped and spilled a cloud of powdered (icing) sugar over the counter.

I recall, as a child, the Fuller Brush and Rawleigh salesmen coming to our door. My Mom frequently did not answer the door, because she did not want (or could not afford) any products,. She did not want to turn the guy down (they were neighbours). We had to keep very quiet, as the salesperson knocked and looked in the windows, as they were accustomed to folks hiding from their agressive sales pitches.

I've never heard of people snooping through bathroom cabinets before, how perfectly loathsome! If I were sleeping over at someone's house, I suppose I might look for an asprin in the night if I had a headache or something - but not purely for the purpose of snooping to see what other stuff they might happen to have in there. Then again, if I were sleeping over at someone's house I'd probably feel like I knew them well enough to take small liberties like that and I'd assume the same about a friend spending the night at mine too. But 'snooping' ugh!

One could have a bit of fun deliberately preparing one's bathroom cabinet in advance to shock potential snoopers. Put a lot of really controversial, frightening, or disturbing stuff in there. Anyone got ideas?

A friend of mine was once complaining about her roommates. Amongst her many complaints was: "...and they never brush their teeth! I know because their toothbrushes are never wet."

This shocked me in the opposite way than she expected. I wondered: what kind of person examines other people's toothbrushes to see if they're wet?

I took a friend to a Chinese restaurant. I went to wash my hands before I ate. Two employees came out as I was going in. Tiny bathroom. Stunk like poop. Sink was bone dry. We left without eating. Never went back.

Re the bathroom cabinet...I was thinking more along the lines of having some bottles in there labelled:

"Strychnine * DEADLY Poison * Do NOT take internally unless suicidal *"

"Nitroglycerin - HIGH EXPLOSIVE! USE EXTREME CAUTION!"

"Human Blood - Do not consume after 01\13\13"

"Rhinoceros Sperm - expires 01/29/14"

"Muskox Lard - apply sparingly"

A 15 inch purple and green polka dot dildo with French tickler ribbing on it...

A .38 caliber revolver with pearl handles.

A mummified mouse in a bottle.

And then maybe a smallish bottle with a shrunken head in it...

Give 'em something to talk about! ;-D

By 'panties' I imagine people mean those daft little itsy-bitsy nylon things with scritchy-scratchy lace. I can't myself see why women consent to wear them, never mind aberrant men. Give me lovely big pure cotton passion-killers any day. They come right up to your waist (and beyond) are roomy and comfy, and look like potato sacks when they're hanging on the washing line. Perfect!

I remember seeing an Oprah show on this very topic (must be 20-30 years ago). She asked the audience if they snoop into medicine cabinets, etc; also if they pull back the shower curtain to see if the bathtub is clean.

As someone who has more than once pulled the shower curtain closed to hide a bathtub I hadn't had a chance to clean before a visitor arrived, I was a bit shocked at the large number of people who admitted to such snooping (including, IF I recall correctly, Oprah herself). Until that day, it had never occurred to me that people might even THINK of snooping, let alone DO it...
