Gynecology and Banking Do Not Mix
embarrassing, Stupid things I do January 6th, 2009
I had to cash a check today. To have everything ready at the bank, I pulled my driver’s license out of my wallet and slipped it into the side pocket of my purse with the check.
When I got to the drive-thru window, I dropped the check and my driver’s license in the plastic tube and waited for it to come zipping back to me with my cash.
When I got home, I took out the bills and fished for my driver’s licence to put back in my wallet. My license fell out — but so did something else. My doctor’s appointment reminder card for my next gynecological visit.
I’m sure the bank teller was pleased to be informed that I have an 8:30 appointment at St. Luke’s Professional Building on August 9th, 2009 for my annual exam.
I’m just glad I sent the license with it. I’m pretty sure you can’t cash checks with a card from your OB/GYN.
God.
Stumble it!

That wouldn’t be as bad as slipping in test results from the mens clinic. Or a coupon for the Stag Shop

I was in the States and tried that “Vacuum Tube Bank” machine once…….scared the daylights out of me. Never seen bank machine like that here….TOOO SPOOOKIE
I won’t even think about trying a take out drive through order in the States now, don’t want my food coming out of a vacuum tube

I agree with Jaffer, LOL!

OMG How embarrassing! But, if it makes you feel any better, it is something I would have done.

I was a drive thru window teller at a busy bank in New York State as a younger woman. We had some interesting things come through but I think the frustrated customer that took our tube and placed it in front of his car and proceeded to run over it forward and backward several times will never be forgotten! I also had a check from Barbara Streisand in my very hands. We passed it around before finally breaking down and sending it through to proof.
January 6th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
LOL, AS they say, it could have been worse.

Don’t feel bad, once i had a purse that kept setting off store alarms because of a built in flashlight. Then at one store they decided to search my purse and found my stash. YOu know, the secret zipper pocket that holds the super tampons
When he hit that pocket i saw the look change on his face and he held out the purse toward me like it had cooties and told me to go

I think you did the teller a favor. It was good for her to know you had an appointment on Aug 9th at 8:30 so she can be a little late for work that day because she knows she will not need to be there to serve you as you are previously booked! LoL

It could have been a feminine product or, worse, a discount card for Susie’s Scintillating Sex Shop (only 1 stamp away from a $200 gift card!). Of course, that last one might not have come back. Perhaps you can be grateful the teller didn’t say to herself: “I’ve been meaning to schedule an exam and I already have the morning off…”

Jaffer — Oh, goodie! Now I get to read the contents of other people’s wallets. That’s in your wallet?
Alan — I love that bank tube thingy! It’s so Jetsons! Oh, no, don’t suggest food be transported that way. Order a burger and fries and get a bag of squeezed mush.
DrowseyMonkey — I know, it could have been worse. In fact, given my history, I’m surprised it wasn’t.
holly — Oh my. Yeah. God bless the ‘n’.
dizzblnd — Yes, it does make me feel better because this seems to be the kind of thing I do a lot. I almost gave out another gyn card at a seminar when I was handing out my business cards. One of them got stuck in a pile of them (I sometimes put the reminder cards in my desk).
Data Entry Services — Oh, man. You must have seen some real psychos. People. The Barbra Streisand check is cool, though. I’d have passed it around, too!
Eric S. — Yes. And now I think I should go through my wallet to see what else I have that might get pulled out by mistake and given to a complete stranger.
Jamie — Any time.
Lilly — I’m glad to know others would do the same. It makes me cry a little less. I love this design, too. I must have looked through 1,000 of them before picking it.
Babs beetle — I was thinking of that! And why is my doctor’s office involved in so many of my embarrassing moments?
Sue — Oh, crap. I thought maybe she’d have kept it to herself.
Muse — Oh, geez. There’s that moment where you’re like “No! Don’t pull out the tampons!” That happened to me at an airport once. Except my underwear was the object of a hundred pairs of eyes. Oh, and the next time I go, I’ll be humming the Patsy Cline tune. Thanks.
Maureen — Yes! It’s very cool. Read all about it! And a little weird because you don’t always see the teller you’re talking to through the intercom. Sometimes large SUVs block the view between you and the bank, and you can’t see the teller who’s processing your check. You just hear a voice from beyond!
The Mind of a Mom — See. I’m always thinking of other people.
Stephanie Barr — Yeah, and I never would have known she stole it because I never knew I sent the card until I got home. At least when I do stupid things, I learn lessons for the future.
Stinkypaw — Good one. But at least you were legal.
Mama O — Yeah, now I realize what a service I provided. I’m just so happy I sent the license in the tube, too, or she and I would have had to actually talk about my mistake. I much prefer suffering in silence.
Riayn — No, I’m not organized, but my office is. It’s the first thing they do for you after an annual, set up the next one. Which can be bad if you lose the card or don’t write it down anywhere. I’m with you. I live week to week.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:22 am
I wonder if my library would’ve accepted an OB/GYN appointment card. They’re so strict! They require 2 forms of ID with your address. When I could present them with only one form, they held onto the card until I could come back with a 2d ID. Geez.

hi Kathy,
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed you are caring around a card for an appointment that is 8 months away! That said, given your apparent absent-mindedness, I have entered your appointment into my Outlook calender to remind me on August 8th to remind you…

hey Kathy,
I seriously did just enter your appointment in my Outlook calender (no worries, it just says “remind junk drawer about appointment on Aug 9″) and saw that, unless I am mistaken, August 9th is a SUNDAY? Does your doctor work on Sundays, and at 8:30am on Sundays? I think my doctor only makes appointments on Thursdays between his 10am and 2pm golf games…

That is exactly the sort of thing that happens to me all the time. The worst was the episode at a drug store where a (worn) pair of pantyhose came flying out of my purse. I had worn pantyhose to work that day, then taken them off at some point because the waist (as usual) felt like a giant rubber band cutting me in half. I stuffed them in my purse, forgetting that I had to make a stop on the way home. When I pulled my wallet out at the checkout, the pantyhose came out with it in all their glory. And they didn’t come out in a neat little wad, either. It was more like a streamer. Was I mortified? Absolutely.

Too funny. I once reached up, with my wallet and pulled out a 10 dollar bill to get some change at an arcade. As I pulled it out to hand to the incredibly attractive women at the change booth, which was slightly raised so I had to reach up, a joke condom fell out of my wallet. One of those with the words “Extra, extra small” written in nice big letters. Sigh.

I think you were subconsciously trying to give that card away. Like, if someone else gets your appointment card, they will have to go to that appointment instead of you.

I think everyone has had embarrassing things come out of their purse at bad times. Like sanitary products when I am digging for change, and of course the time I sent my Renn fest ID instead of my DL through the bank tube. The teller really enjoyed that one.

If life were a movie, the handsome bank teller would show up at your gynaecologist, sweeping you off your feet and then the both of you would live happily ever after.
Oh wel… Life isn’t a movie.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Oh, no. At least the banker wasn’t just your gynaecologist’s side job. Then you’d probaly get yelled at for being irresponsible. Who knows? Maybe that banker has a blog and blogged about their experiance.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Holly’s comment cracked me right up!
Other than that, all I can say is that this post makes me wonder what ELSE bank tellers inadvertently receive in those blasted tubes, along with checks and driver’s licenses! This could get very interesting.

January 7th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
You know you need to worry if they install either
a) stirrups at the bank drive-thru
or
b) one of those vacuum tube thingies at the OB/GYN’s office.
Either one could cause real problems. But an appointment card? Much less dangerous. -MM

JD at I Do Things — You gotta be kidding me. They’re not handing out gold bars, they’re loaning you books! Geez.
Chris Casey — OMG! I just read your latest post. I’m not only glad I wasn’t present for something like that (old ladies can do damage), but I’m equally happy that I didn’t screw up so bad my teller had to announce to all the nearby drivers what a stupid thing I did. I’ve been spared.
ettarose — I would have left the check, driven away and changed banks.
Mike — Tee hee.
brooke — And now everybody else knows where I’ll be (except keep reading for my comment to Trade Show Steve.)
BabaBooey — For those not from this area, there is indeed a business called Condoms Galore. I really didn’t know a whole store was needed for these items. Although I’m sure they sell a lot of other exciting items. Care to tell us what else they sell?
Trade Show Booths Guru Steve — I love that you entered a reminder in your calendar for me. Now, here’s the story on the date. When I was shuffling cards in and out of my wallet before writing the post, I actually typed in the date for a different appt. I have AND I got the date wrong. The card I gave the woman at the bank was for one of four OB/GYN cards I was carrying around. One is for the future, three remaining were in the past. I’ve since ripped the old ones up and thrown them out. Got all that? Do you see how hard it is to be me?
absepa — Awesome. I cannot beat that. Oh, and I know all about tight pantyhose waistbands.
Jenn Thorson — After Steve alerted me to the weird date I gave, I went through all my cards again and realize I could have given her just about anything. I have old benefits cards, old driver’s licenses and receipts for things I have no idea why I’m keeping. I need a wallet intervention.
Steve — Oh, no you dit’nt! That’s hilarious. I’m sorry, but I would have busted a gut at your expense.
Daisy the Curly Cat — I like how you think. That’s a brilliant idea.
shadowsrider — You know, I bet this happens all the time. Yes, let’s say everyone does this! Way to make me feel better.
Relimom — Oh, I do love your idea. It’s perfect!
Regan — Ruh-roh. I always forget that I might actually be blog fodder for someone else!
Jenny — My boss actually used to be a bank teller. I’m going to ask her tomorrow what kinds of things have been zipped to her through the tube.
Father Muskrat — You have no idea how much I hate going to the bank. The last time I had to go inside was to get Canadian money when I went to Toronto in the summer. But before that, it was probably years. It turns out the place I got the check from just offered payment via PayPal! So I won’t have to keep cashing those much longer through the drive-thru.
feefifoto — Seriously. I get so nervous thinking I’ll miss an appointment. Which is why I should do a whole lot better about organizing the damn cards!
Bruce — Now I’m afraid. Like I said to Regan, I keep forgetting other people have blogs and I might be the subject of a “You’ll never believe what some lady did” post.
Jen at Mommay’s Mayhem — I try. Well, actually, I don’t. These things just keep happening to me.
Natural — I like how your mind works. Yes, let’s say people benefit from my stupidity. My job is done.
Midwest Mom — Hilarious! Especially the stirrups at the drive-thru! Can you imagine?! Those would be some ID requirements!
Comedy Plus — I hope the tellers see so many people they can’t possibly remember me. Except for that picture of me they tack on the wall that reads “Stupid Woman. Beware.”
WillThink4Wine — Hey, what’s a blog for anyway except to share your stupid moments? This blog is built on that foundation.
Sherry at EX Marks the Spot — I would kind of die if I got a flood of emails the day before. Especially since I would have long since forgotten this post and wondered how the hell everybody knew about it!
January 7th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
hi Kathy,
No hard feelings, but I’ve deleted your future appointment from my outlook calender… You’re on your own now, you’re just too hard to plan for!
Holy cow, now you’re carrying around a collection of old OB/GYN collection cards too? Just how big is your purse? Have you ever written a post on the contents of your must-be-enormous-and-weigh-a-ton purse? I suppose you could use it to fend off attackers.

That’s really not so bad in the grand scheme of things. It really could have been much worse but still, funny story.
The comments here crack me up. Especially absepa’s story about the flying pantyhose. I have, on more than one occasion, accidentally flung tampons at unsuspecting clerks. Pantyhose would be much more mortifying.
January 7th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Great story and it reminds me of something I’ve always wanted to do. Indeed, I’ve always had a burning desire to take a deposit slip, put down “one rat” for the amount, put a white rat in that plastic tube thingie, send it to the teller and watch the fun.
Of course, I’ve never had the guts to do that.

I don’t like the tube-banking, it scares me…and fascinated me when I first moved south of the border cause they’re everywhere! My kids think it’s amazing and magical. I prefer to do it through ATM or just stick with getting to know the tellers inside the bank.
For the record, I think they could’ve cashed it with the appt card cause it shows you have consistency.

Just-a-wallet-for-me-and-keep-it-small Trade Show Guru Steve — Well, the purse is fine. It’s the wallet that needs cleaning. My problem is that I don’t feel like finding out which cards are expired (esp. the benefits cards) and so I just keep them. They don’t have dates on them, so it’s hard to tell what’s current. Maybe JD at I Do Things can do it for me so I don’t have to.
fidget — Snorting is an acceptable response here. I deserve it.
Bryan — I know someone who used to work at a bank. I’ll ask her. And thanks for the award!
April — Agreed. Pantyhose are generally not something you carry around in your purse, especially once that have been worn. But I feel her pain.
The Hawg! — OMG, you scare me. Do you think the rat would enjoy the ride through the cool tube thingy? Or do you think he’d be kinda mad when he got to the other side?
PaulsHealthBlog — You mean what if you’re a guy carrying around an OB/GYN appointment card? Survey says you have issues.
Sniffle and the Florida Furkids — Tell your mom she’s in very good company. I see from the comments I’m not the only one!
Tim — You lean out your car window and pick up a plastic tube with a twist top. Untwist it and put your paperwork in the tube. Stick it back in the cradle thingy and press a Send button and it goes shooting up and over the drive-thru and into the bank building, where the teller gets it, conducts business and sends it back to you the same way. They usually talk to you through an intercom. It’s very George Jetson!
Matt — Oh, boy. I’m starting to see the countless ways this could have been so much worse. So much worse.
Lauren — Couldn’t find one with stirrups. I looked!!!
SewDucky — Oh, good grief. I remember workin’ the drive-thru at a fast food place I worked at in high school. The most interesting customers were the drunk ones, the ones who laughed and carried on inappropriately loudly and thought me wearing a cowboy hat as part of my uniform was too hysterical. Jerks.
TheSnackHound — Oh my. If I did that, I’d simply drive away, without my money, and change banks immediately. You couldn’t go back after that.

“I’m just glad I sent the license with it. I’m pretty sure you can’t cash checks with a card from your OB/GYN…”
It depends on what bank you go to- I believe you need those cards to cash in at the sperm bank…
Funny how it reminded lots of lady commentors about tampons. It reminded me of the time my Dad was yelling over aisles about what sort of tampons he could buy for me. Only my Dad doesn’t say “tampon” as in “on” he says “tampoon” like harpoon which makes it sound stupid and grossly embarrassing. Boy do I miss him!

I worked for years in a bank (still do, just not the branch part of it) and we never received very many strange things in our tubes. However, one day, a man was cashing a large check and when I sent the tube back to him, someone hit a transformer and all the power went out! The tube was stuck in transport (underground) until the power came back on. Poor guy had to wait about 2 hours to get his money and driver’s license back!

It probably reminded her she needed to make an appointment.
You may have just saved a life.

Healing Yourself Heals the World — Yes. This blog is one big pity party for me.
Relax Max — Unless I lose my card. Actually, oh, never mind. Read the comment I left for Trade Show Booths Guru Steve. It’s a mess.
Lisa — At least. See, there are so many ways i can still screw up.
Laurelei — Oh, man. I’ve almost had that happen to me. Someone stopped me at the restroom door to chat (fun) and I had one tucked under the sleeve of my sweater. All I could think was “Please don’t fall out.”
Karen — For you.
Michelle Gartner — Ha, right! OMG. Tampoon! I love it! Dads don’t have a lot of finesse at times, do they?
mlm — Oh, now that would happen to me. Sounds really unfortunate and a little risque: “My tube got stuck.”
Sherrie — I’m glad you enjoyed it. I do what I can.
meleah rebeccah — It’s so messed up because I’m almost never cash a check. I have direct deposit for everything but that one. But they’re going PayPal soon, so I think my banking through the drive-thru days are over!
Joe — You never know. Could happen!

Kathy, can u imagine the teller loudly asking:
“Mrs Frederick, do you still need this reminder to see your Gynecologist? I can make a copy and blow it up for you if you like. I use that Dr too, aren’t they the best?”

That is humiliating, the best kind of funny! I have to laugh at the teller, too. I would have had to joke with you about it, had I been her. Or maybe I would have just kept your card and cancelled your appointment. Sometimes I’m evil like that.

Ahahahahaha! Glad it wasn’t me … but really, yes, it could have been worse – you know it could! LOL!
By the way, the Cooperative society used a vacuum tube system at the shop tills when I was a child in London in the fifties. They had their own money, too. I used to LOVE going into that shop with my Mum. They used to hiss and thrum when the cashiers opened them, and then ‘tthhhWUP’ when they closed up and sucked the tube away upstairs. Fun!

Hi! Having seen it, perhaps they thought you were hinting for a loan. Good medical care can be quite expensive, can’t it. As for cheques, they have to be the next thing to bite the dust in 2009. Why is it when we have to pay bills, we use cash or plastic. But when it comes to conglomerates coughing up money to give to us, they use cheques. They take forever to clear or worse still, we hang onto them for so long by the time we go to cash them, the cheque has passed its use by date, and we lose our money! What cheeses me off? Cheques! Take Care!

Chris Casey — Stop reminding me how much worse things could have been. Of course, maybe all the other customers would have appreciated a reminder. People don’t go to the doctor as often as they should. Another service provided by The Junk Drawer.
Vivienne — That would have been bad, because that doctor does not phone you a day ahead to remind you. My nice dentist office does that. I know the Evil Vivienne has a flipside, and I bet that one keeps you in check.
A Bay Horse — Oh, I’ve been a victim of the blog giggles at work before. It’s a good affliction to have (as long as you don’t get caught).
jay — “ttthhWUP” is exactly how it sounds! You got it down pat! Press a button, make it go. Ah, the simple things in life.
Peter McCartney — I’m with you on the cheque rant! Everything should be electronic. I thought by now we’d be a paperless society. I’m afraid sending money has to be fast, but getting it is a different story. No fair!
Swubird — Oh, so happy to make you chuckle. High honor!
Lee — She didn’t say a word and I was blissfully ignorant until I got home and saw what I did. Glad you like the blog! Come on back, now, ya hear?

A woman is getting an exam at the gynecologist. The doctor says, Have you ever had a checkup here? She says, No, but I’ve had a couple of Dutchmen.

Stupid things always happen because our life is a mixture of good, bad, and stupid things. I am accidentally a webmaster due to my stupidity because I thought it is the perfect thing for me.

I thought your post was funny but reading some of the responses, (still laughing) thanks I needed that, just lost a client and with it some of my income…sigh..
I get medical-related humor and needed that because the client I lost is a Neonatalogist,I did all his billing of claims and patient statements. A practice management company came along and paid him MILLIONS to buy and run his practice for him. Anyone need an experienced medical biller I’m your gal!!

Terri healthymoms — Oh, no. Sorry to hear about losing your client. Sounds painful in this economy. Here’s more medical humor for ya — again, at the gynecologist.
February 8th, 2009 at 8:57 am
medical humor……”sounds painful”
Yes I even had a nightmare about the loss until this morning when I turned the page on my calendar to Feb and lo and behold on the calendar was “when one door closes another opens” wow, that message sure came at the right time, amazing isn’t it? Guess I better concentrate on that new door.
Thanks!
