What's the most hillarious thing that's ever happened?

Actually I have two. .

 

The first happened a long time ago during my breast form wearing days, that was after my wearing water balloon period. (Which stopped abruptly when the first time the darn thing exploded on me.SPLOSH!)

I had taken my wife and kids to one of those pizza places that had games.

I was just about ready to score the wining goal against my son in a game of air hockey when suddenly my left boob (supposedly self adhering. Lesson learned: Wear a bra. Don't trust the sticky stuff.) decided to drop onto the table.

My son, thinking it was the puck. (I don't know how he could have mistaken it for a round black thing.)  hit it and it went flying over my head.

Shocked and embarrassed I quickly scooped it up and bolted to the rest room to put it back on.

"Where are you going, Dad?" He yelled. "The games not over yet."

"It is for me!" I shouted over my shoulder as I ran. " You win."

 

The second was when I got stuck for the winter at a homeless shelter in Omaha Nebraska during one of ill planned cross country bicycling expeditions.

There was this old man. In his 80's I think.

He had just had a circumcision done at the hospital and needed the dressing changed. He had heard that I was a nurses aide and asked me if I would assist him.

So (Picture this.) there he was butt naked sitting on the bench in the shower room with his legs spread apart while I was on my knees in front of him when one of the Shelters Staff Members walked in.

"Blondie!"(That's what they used to call me.) He screamed, "What the hell are you doing?!!"

You can imagine what he thought I was doing. (Perverts.)

I burst out laughing my ass off.

Lesson learned: No good deed goes unpunished!

 

Memories. Aren't they wonderful?

 

Be safe. Be Smart.

And stay off your knees. LOL!

These are both in here somewhere, but --

 

In the early days of my Transition I had been headed to a rest room in a restaurant where I was at a birthday party as Vicky, and while I did not intend to go to the men's room, a guy going into that room made a point of showing me where the girls room was.  I did as told but as I opened that door I saw a woman coming directly at me as if to chase me out.  Not true though.  There had been a mirror on the wall there and the woman had been ME. 

 

I was at a convention for Trans people one year, and the restrooms in the wing where we were having our break-out sessions were all marked Gender Neutral.  In another wing down the hall there was a convention session for a religious assembly that is less than friendly to Trans folk, and the restrooms near them had their signs changed slightly to emphasize their single gender usage.  They had one of their officers guarding the area as well to ensure proper entry.  It was fun to watch their attendees break from the guardian angel and come to our wing, where the men headed right for the usual women's room out of sight of their leadership.

OMG I would of died right there.  LOL

That is to funny and I am still giggling out loud over picturing this.  

I have no stories yet to tell of embarrassing events as trans.  I'm just now venturing out of the privacy of my home as "Me".  

I had one rude occurrence the other day were I pulled into a spot close to a door for my therapist office building and apparently some guy in a pick up truck was "waiting" on the spot, which he wasn't as he was driving around the circle looking for any spot.  My timing was better then his.  LOL

He stops and shouts at me "Stupid Punt (with a "C") which of course shocked and irritated me to no end.  I said nothing but waved in victory with the appropriate sign language and a big smile.  Though I was embarrassed as others saw this too.  Not very lady like.

I have learned never to rub your tummy while in the maternity clothing section of a department store.

Especially if you have a bit of tummy.

And are not wearing overly wise clothing.

 

So there I was, shaped wrong, apparently, wearing a house dress, over my long skirt, looking stupidly maternal (I was not aware of that at the time), and absent mindedly rubbing my tummy. "Is this your first?" a passing woman commented. My brain didn't get it fast enough, and as I have a son,  I responded, "no."

2 minutes later, my brain kicked in (the woman had moved on), 'you idiot, that was NOT the correct answer'.

 

And I don't always learn the first time.

Same outfit (some of us never learn), grocery store, reaching for something almost out of my reach. "here, let me get that for you dear, you shouldn't be doing that in your condition." Blind sided, I accepted the item, didn't know what to say, and the nice man moved on.

 

Groan :)

To the victor goes the spoils! (or, in your case, the parking spot.)

Kudos! Way to hustle, Girl!

Be safe. Be smart.

And take no prisoners when it comes to getting what you want. Especially parking stops!

What a nice morning smile.  I remember shortly before starting HRT i had invested in a pair of silicone forms from our sponsor The Brest Form Store.   I had grown quite comfortable and had been full time for some time.  One day, while working with a young man in the summer, i had gotten quite hot and sweaty.   Bending over to pick up  a tool i managed to catch the flesh colored object flying towards the ground.  Awkward!  Silicone forms should be labeled "slippery when wet".  

Soon afterwards i found mastectomy bra with pockets.

Loosing a wig.......that's another story for another time.  Motor cycle helmets can be awkward.

I can't imagine the stories our FTM members might tell.  

There are certainly humorous aspects of this journey.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

      My mother's maiden name is Schwinegruber, and to say that cabbage in all forms of use for our dinner table is an understatement.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
