Just been to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I find my Housemate reading the instruction leaflet from a box of lilets.

I mean, WTF? seriously, what is the matter with you people?

A man reading instructions? 😯

Are you sure he’s a man?

A bloke reading instructions? That doesn’t sound right.

Are you sure he’s a bloke?

[EDIT} Too slow!

If he was taking a shit it’s acceptable.

Is the leaflet illustrated? Now you get blokes eh?

reminds me of the “Young Ones” sketch where Rik finds one in someone’s handbag.

WTF was he doing in her handbag anyway? That’s possibly the most alien place on earth, to a bloke

If he was taking a shit it’s acceptable.

Of course. Out of bog roll.

He wasn’t reading, he was checking surface area and absorption properties.

You need instructions for a tampon?

No wonder he was reading them, I suspect he was intrigued as to what actually required instruction.

why would you need to read the instructions. You just load and shoot dont you?

Always thought reading material was essential to blokes in the bog regardless of subject matter. I’ll read any old rubbish in the john…normally Singletrack mag 😉

He wasn’t reading, he was checking surface area and absorption properties

of the instructions? thats just going to smear!

He wasn’t on the loo, I don’t want to see his muff. He was brushing his teeth. well, he’d stopped to read the leaflet.

Why? There are magazines (you know?) but no, he chooses the leaflet, it’s not like it was laying about, he’d had to get it out of the box! Weird.

he has a muff???

I guess he was just interested Emsz

Am I going to have to go buy a box just to find out what the instructions say?

Edit: I’ll be honest, I’ve read them before. Both one’s with diagrams and a written discription. I’ll read pretty much anything that’s infront of me. I can’t have the passanger in the car next to me read a paper whilst I’m driving as I’ll start reading it with them. I’m guessing that’s probably why I’m on here a lot, there’s always more rubbish to read, and it’s interactive an’ all. Magic.

Blokes: Weird

That’s bloody rich coming from a woman.

Mad as a box of frogs, the bloody lot of yer!

😉

Perhaps it was male curiosity. It’s the reason you have a toothbrush, and running water, a computer to type that on, a website to write it onto, and LCD screen to display it on and maybe a desk it sit in front of.

Yeah, that’s what’s wrong with us people. 😉

STW at its most puerile. 🙁

Thinking back, I’m sure I’ve read the instruction leaflet for Lilets…and the Tampon. Idle curiosity?

he has a muff???

Mystery solved. A man with a muff is a woman.

No bloke reads the instructions until it has already gone horribly wrong. Where exactly was the tampon or didn’t you see it?

Probably tried to floss with it

a lilet is exactly what I need to clear the water from my frame post wet ride…

I’ve read tampon instructions. Largely because it amuses me how they try to do them tactfully; see also, condoms.

Want weird? I’ve also fitted them. (-:
(as nature intended, not in myself!!)

It’s no weirder than asking the question on a mountainbike forum rather than just asking your housemate

Tampax……..they make brilliant field wound dressings if you put you whittling knife through your hand by mistake when sat in the forest whittling 😯

The bit in the instructions about toxic shock surprised me tbh

Mooncups are where it’s at

perhaps he thought lilets are for nose bleeds and thought he might need to use one ?

Kev

Tampax……..they make brilliant field wound dressings if you put you whittling knife through your hand by mistake when sat in the forest whittling

You whittle…okay, but you had a Tampax with you?

I’ve been smoking those **** things for 5 years and I still cant rollerblade property. Or skydive. Perhaps it’s time I read the instructions as well?

I still for the life of me can’t work out why women want to post on a mountain bike forum….

Someone mention Tampax 😀 They make the most excellent tinder for startng campfires.

NB. Just thought I’d add, It was new unused Tampax I was referring to, not the other ones. I’ve got a separate story about them that I keep for special occasions. It involves a non working fannypad incinerator & being on the maintenance team tasked to carry out repairs <sticks fingers down throat smiley>

Are you sure he’s not just an Apple enthusiast?

Have you considered that maybe he was going to use one? I mean, maybe he had diarrhea.

OG …. I had to find a female and ask her if she had anything to stem the flow as I was bleeding alot. I assumed she would give me a band aid from her handbag but no all she had was a tampax, which worked and she made me walk back to the car park with my wound elevated 😯

with my wound elevated

And now her’s too I imagine.

Curiosity, that’s all. I too will read anything.
