Might as well share my embarrassment with you folks...

Love it.

I was just going to post this. LOL! I love this commercial.

Me, too!! I love that commercial. It's so silly, but so possible for someone blind as a bat like myself!

So I have this cat who is gray and white named Kisses (not the cat in my avatar). I get up on the weekend and go walking through the house. I see Kisses in the living room. I call to him, and he doesn't move. So I call louder, he still doesn't move. I start to panic. Kisses is an older cat. OMG, what's wrong with Kisses!?! With tears brimming on the brink, I run to him and pick him up.

It's not Kisses. It's my Bugs Bunny slipper!!

I turn around to see my cat sitting on the bar stool beside me looking at me like I'm insane.

Guess I should put on my glasses as soon as I get out of bed from now on.

Um, while everybody here is having a great time laughing at the poor OP, let us not forget that we apparently are still missing one Bugs Bunny slipper. Read the post - the OP only mentions one slipper. What happened to the other one? I believe that is the heartache that the OP was trying to convey in the post. To the OP - I hope you find your other slipper and I apologize for these other posters that have been laughing at your misfortune. It truly is heartbreaking when a pair of good slippers is split up. If the other one doesn't turn up, perhaps you can mix and match with a Daffy or Speedy Gonzalez. Good luck!

I never thought so many people would have had similar experiences to the OP's.

Before I finished reading the original post, I thought it might end the way an incident did with one of my dogs. Their grandparents live on a good piece of land, so when the dogs visit for the weekend they get pretty tired after a few days of running around. Apparently one morning my mother-in-law woke up and found Molly "unresponsive" on the bed. Panic ensued before they discovered she was just so tired she wasn't opening her eyes or moving. Though I sympathize, I think it's a pretty hilarious story (she doesn't!).

Thanks for the laugh, OP!

I'm another one that needs to wear her glasses all the time, especially first thing in the morning. I can't tell you how many stray pieces of string or lint that I've had to "kill" because I was terrified that it might be a scorpion!

Okay, good to know I am not alone. When we moved into our current apartment, I had really long hair and an aversion to roaches. Our previous apartment had an ant problem, so we were assured the new place was pest-free.

So, I woke up screaming as I saw a giant cockroach walk across my bedroom floor. My husband was terrified that someone broke through the bedroom window or a fire or a flood or a something major had happened.

Yeah, so I wasn't wearing my contacts and it was actually a small bit of my hair fluff from my hairbrush skimming across the floor as my husband had just turned on the heater to make a small breeze.

Thanks for the laugh!!! I love it!!! Glad that Kisses is okay too!!

This reminds me of the Sears commercial for eyeglasses where the woman is holding open the door calling her cat in the house and a raccoon waddles in. For some reason it cracks me up every time I see it.

Oh my! I totally see this happening in my future with Tigger.

<---Raccoon lookalike when not wearing my glasses.

The other slipper was hiding under the bed. You just can't trust slippers like you used to.

Too funny!!

I'm glad your cat was ok. (and your slipper)

I somehow missed this post earlier and am so glad I re-read the thread. I am picturing your tumbleweed hair blowing across the floor as the giant cockroach attacks!

Totally something I'd do.

And to the lady who saw CMs scrubbing SSE. That's great! I've done similar things with items in the sky. I have asked "is that a blimp?" only to hear...."no, mom, it's a water tower."

 

[JerseyJanice]

Glad Kisses and your slipper are O.K.

 

[mlittig]

Could have been worse, just think if OP tried to wear Kisses as the slipper

That wouldn't be good! I have vision issues myself so I can relate!

One time I was walking into my parent's kitchen. I saw something moving across the floor and thought it was a cricket or spider. The lights were not on so I couldn't tell for sure. So I stepped on it in my bare feet. Turned on the light and it was a SCORPION! I stepped on a scorpion with my bare foot. I started running down the hallway screaming. My dad thought it was hilarious.

Another time I was walking into the kitchen and saw something slithering across the floor...again no lights. Didn't think much of it and kicked it across the floor thinking it was a bit of trash in the breeze the A/C makes. Turned on the lights and a 6 inch centipede comes out from under the counter.

<----- this was me after I jumped up on the counter. My brother came to investigate and killed it in the backyard with a dustpan. My dad said I was lucky, the centipedes around here are apparently poisonous. He wasn't laughing that time.

I have to put on my glasses to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so I sympathize! When I was in labor with DS, the nurses wanted to take my glasses from me and I screamed, "NO WAY, I want to SEE this kid!"

I really opened my mouth and inserted my foot one night. I was walking thru the house and saw a pile of dog poo. I start grumbling and fussing at my husband... " I am so tired of cleaning up your dog's crap!" "Your dog has got to go outside!" "This is just so ridiclous" "I'm just sick of this" and on and on.... grab paper towels and I bend over to pick up "poo"....and it is a brown hair scrunchie. NICE!!! Had to apologize and quickly go to bed!!!
