Today I thought I would do something a little different for the Tidbit, and look at some of the strangest objects that have ‘accidentally’ found their way into people’s rectums and have had to be removed in hospital!
- Aerosol cans: For some reason deodorant is rather popular!
- Glass bottles and light bulbs! You would have to sit down very gingerly.
- Oranges and aubergines. What a terrible waste of food.
- A coffee jar. I should imagine it was instant rather than filter.
- An egg. That had got to have been hard-boiled surely.
- Curtain rod. Not the right way to draw attention to oneself!
Some people always go that little bit too far!
Why do people do these things!
I remember watching a programmes about this and in Japan it was the bike phone that was the most retrieved item, as girls, and guys, set their phones to vibrate, inserted them in silly places, and asked their partners to ring them…. Really??!!

I can’t believe it either, especially when people put something as fragile as glass there! Crazy!

There was a Saturday Night Live sketch called “Appalachian ER” that included one returning patient with a variety of stories about how things got lodged in there. Real life is even more bizarre. ☺

It really is. Some of the stories they tell of how they ‘accidentally fell’ onto these objects are, as you say really bizarre!

I made friends with an ER nurse years ago, and two things surprised me: one, the stories, and two, the utter calm as he told them like they were just normal, everyday stories!

I used to work in an ER and I have seen all of those–and more. I still don’t understand how/why people would do that, but more importantly, it saddens me that people are in a state/situation/condition to think “can I fit a lightbulb there?” and actually do it…

Oh gawd and I thought you and mr grumpy were strange. Yes, and I’ve heard of little furry animals paying a visit up there. I can’t believe someone would put those things inside their jacksie. I can just imagine going into casualty doing eggy farts and walking a little funny and that orange and aubergine might come in handy after sitting in the waiting room for hours dying of hunger. The one that gets me the most is the curtain rod… really? Was it the swish kind or the wooden poles with large brown ring?

Ha Ha! Trust you Cat! I don’t know where to begin with your comments! I don’t think I would be up for the 2nd hand orange or aubergine no matter how hungry I was! As for the brown ring comment…..brilliant!!! Furry animals…..what the hell????

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
