Today at work, I was in the mood to make appointments. Sometimes I just can't be bothered. But today, I decided to ring the dog groomer to book my dog in for a haircut. The next available Saturday is sometime in April. I swear, dog groomers make so much money. And the next available weekday appointment is like in 2 weeks time. So fine, we'll do the weekday one because he is starting to look like a mess. A cute mess, but still, a mess.

Then I ring up my favourite beauty salon to get my nails done. I am attending a wedding on Sunday, and I thought I'd better hurry up and book in for my favourite manicure and pedicure. Then I thought, since I'm there, might as well get a wax done. The girl at the Korean salon was lovely and sweet, she said "What type of manicure and pedicure would you like?" 
"Just a normal manicure and pedicure please" I replied.
Then she goes "And errr what type of wax would you like?" 

*pause* 

*pause* 

*PAUSE*

This is me, very conscious of sitting in an open plan office, and surrounded by a team of men.. (I am the only girl in my team).. 
I say "Er... just a normal one please" (trying to avoid having to say the word 'wax' in the office too loud)
She goes "Err... what type of wax would you like?"
Me, "A normal one.."
She goes "A body wax?"
Me, "Yeahh... that one" (What on earth is a body wax? I want a Brazilian, but please don't make me say Brazilian out loud in an open plan office, and especially with so many guys around my desk)
Then I say "Look, I'll see you on Friday at 5.30 okay?"
I don't think she got the picture but she goes "Okay".

Phewww! Bet you the boys around me were dying to burst out laughing.
