Invasion of personal space!!!!
Pondered by Nat
quite a long while ago…
Claire and I were sitting in the sun today on a park bench, just chatting.
All of a sudden, someone from the radio appears, says ‘hello’ and thrusts a microphone in our faces.
When we don’t reply, he says ‘My name is Cam’
When we say ‘umm ok’ he says:
‘so, how do you maintain your bikini line?’
and re-shoves his mic into our faces.
Not to be a spoil sport and I KNOW I am a prude, but c’mon please don’t insult me, my intelligence or my personal space by thinking you can leap in front of me unannounced, ask me personal questions and then put it on the radio.
The fact that our replies of ‘no thanks’ were met with insistent questions and constant microphone thrusting was unacceptable. Not funny, not cute, just pathetic and rude.
Hello, my name is Natalie, I have a business called

Face it, today’s world is about “reality media” and the proponents believe that anything gos. I suggest you develop a series of answers to ‘anything’ and keep them in store for instant retrieval when needed. As an example, “I always use that stuff mum told me never to touch” is good for a ‘what’ question; “usually I wing it, but for something serious I close my eyes and follow the guidance of the great Spirit” always works for me for ‘how’; “as soon as Wellington harbour’s global warming effect reaches 2 metres” serves for ‘when’; “because my voices told me to” has been a family favorite for ‘why’, though it did get one of us committed for a while once; “a chlorysodyoumegobber” is my all time bestusts ‘what’ word; and, finally, “that old fella that created Trade Me” strikes me as appropriate for ‘who’. With a nice little armoury like that, you should be able to get rid of any prat like your radio guy.
Imagine. “’so, how do you maintain your bikini line?”
“Usually I wing it, but for something serious I close my eyes and follow the guidance of the great Spirit.”
“So what I really mean is what do you use?”
“A chlorysodumegobber”
“eh?”
“A chlorysodumegobber!”
“Oh! Why is that?”
“because my voices tell me to!”
“GOODBYE!
AT all times polite and ladylike, AND at all times totally dismissive of the idiot.

Brilliant stuff!

Just say you don’t have enough bikinis for a line of their own so they get dried on the same line with your panties and bras.

@Bruce Hoult, yup that is a good line, and I shall look into the others.
Cam sounds familiar – I think I’ve been ‘interviewed’ by him before. Possibly not about bikini lines. Any idea which station we has from?
