74 Comments on THAT???!!!

Sometimes I share things on Facebook that, in my ever-so-humble opinion (ahem), are relevant, informative, and, well, worthy of comment, and those things get no response.  Zero.  Nil. Nada. Zilch.

Then there was the day one of the underwires in my bra just broke for no apparent reason.  It was a Tuesday, which is a rather ordinary day most of the time.  Anyway, I posted it as my status, and you know, I got 74 comments!  What can make so many people, from so many varied backgrounds, want to comment on such a crazy post? 

Hold your judgment until you read how it went.  I have gone through the whole thing and changed all the names to first names, or nicknames, or initials, to protect the innocent.  It kind of reads like a one-act play, with some people staying on stage the whole time, and some wandering in and out randomly, making a single, perfectly timed comment.  It brought me a lot of laughs, and I hope it does the same for you.

Caryn My stupid underwire just snapped right in half.

Jacca and Kim like this.

Kim Bahahahaha!!! I hate it when that happens!!!

Caryn ME TOO

Jen LMAO...I almost spit my drink out!!!!!

Kim Time for some new boob holsters!!!

Jen that's not what I meant by adding details!

CB I hate when that happens!

Caryn It's just that booby baskets are not cheap. :P

Jen well better your bra than your panties...THAT would be a problem!

Mikey I guess calling them fun bags is a point-of-view issue...

Sub Pics or it didn't happen! ;)

Mikey Pics like they do at the popo station. Front view, side view...

Jen umm...that's okay!

Caryn ‎Mikey, how sad is it that the only thing to drag you out of the lurking woodwork is a discussion about the functionality of my brassiere!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!  And in response to you kind gentlemen requesting a photo, no.

Karen I hope it didn't stab you!

SJ That happened to my mom a couple days ago

Caryn Weird thing is I was just sitting here, working, and leaned forward to pick up my glass of water.

Jacca I HATE when that happens!! What's an underwire??

Dana Aww crap!!! I hate when that happens too!!!

Jo Should have checked the tensile strength before buying.

Caryn I think this particular garment has long outlived its intended life span.  I find it highly interesting that a status about my underwire breaking has generated this much ... coverage.

Blondie Too much weight. Most people pay for that.

Caryn Are you calling me fat???

Bottom of Form

Blondie In your boobs.

Staci LMAO! Men just don't understand how difficult it is to find the "right" bra and that you need a second mortgage to finance it once you do find it!

Kevin That's why I go without. I don't have to worry about it breaking, then.

Judi I am not laughing...I am lying....:)

Caryn I think I found my first blog subject!!!

Ron I am on my way to weld it back together Caryn. Hold yourself together.

Kevin I must say that your subject matter is very titillating.

Caryn HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Staci Leave it to Ron!

Ron Why do woman wear underwire ones anyways? Just wear the flapover pregnancy one. Makes it easier for you and us. LOL

Caryn Well, for one, those are 3x more expensive than regular ones. For two, they're butt ugly. And for three, it might shock you to know, our choice in undergarments is rarely made with your convenience in mind.

Staci On the floor! Point for Caryn!

Ron One of them or both of them on the floor????? What if only one of the doors is open?

Caryn Hey now, I'm not that old!!

Corissa I LOVE my vanity fair bra, have had it for almost 7 years and its still like new and I wear it ALL the time.

Sally I just about bust a wire laughing, Caryn!!! You should start another discussion about Spanx, especially in HOT weather!! :O

Jen spanx are great till ya hafta pee...if ya pull them down and it's hot...you will spend the next hour pulling them up...so I hear...lol

Cory I think this thread just bumped Facebook stock back up...cuz this is priceless!

BFFE Bwaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa....you all are cracking me up. But I'm laughing hardest at the busted underwire. I have so much to say, but I am trying to be so nice. Ouch, this hurts.

Caryn I so totally ♥ my friends

Deb Hilarious! Mine break & stab me all the time. Clearly a woman did not invent underwires, so why do we continue to wear them?

Caryn I think the main reason is gravity...

Deb Seems like someone as smart as you could invent something more comfortable & less dangerous that would do the job......just saying! :-)

Caryn Hmmm.....

Caryn Not sure I'm THAT smart.

Deb I'm not all that convinced that the underwire serves any purpose other than causing us pain.

Caryn I bought one that had a pseudo-underwire, some kind of plastic, flexible thing, and it didn't work nearly as well. Let's just say it needed more antigravity.

Deb WTH, after 3 kids I can just tuck 'em in my waist band & go. LOL!

BFFE It seems to me, Caryn and Deb, that you may be surpassing the weight limit on the steel. I've never had that happen.

Deb Seriously?!?!? Consider yourself a lucky woman BFFE. This is a very common occurrence for me......

Jen i can never quite understand how that little wire is supposed to hold up boobage...it goes under your boob, so don't your boobs just kinds flop over it? maybe it's just big boobs that have issues...hmmm

Deb That's what I'm saying! There's gotta be something else!

Jen lol...i have nver been comfortable in underwires...they poke and bend...but i also fall in the excess boobage category...sigh...

Jen i've just always worn "normal" bras...they hold me up and in and sometimes they even look good...who cares? no one sees them but me and Jeff and he prefers them on the floor...lol

Deb I'm not sure why, but I keep humming that song, Does Your Chain Hang Low. ".....Can you tie it in a knot, can you tie it in a bow! Does your chain hang low?"

Jen i always thought it was ears...but, whatever...mine do NOT hang low enough to tie in a bow or a knot or any other such thing...lol

Van Oh goodness this is hilarious! Ive always worn underwire. It seems to lift and separate. I hate the uni boob look! I am a bit of a critic on the subject. I love love love Vanity Fair from Kohls. They are worth the money and come in a variety of colors and styles. They last forever, never ride up and I have never had a wire PoP on me!!

Caryn I've had old ones break in the washing machine, but this is the first out of the blue.

Jen that's what you get for laughing at my missed hair appointments...never underestimate karma...muwahahaha!

Sally I wish my boobs could break a wire...

Caryn ‎^Needs to go on a T-shirt

Sally Yes!!

Ron It just hit me after laughing about this for 2 days. Isn't there a warranty or recall on an underwire bra that causes an unleashing. What if the units got poked and leaked---there are a few choices of leaked what here. And to all the women that wished they had more to justify and underwire bra--------I wish I needed underwire underwear.

Caryn RON!!! LMAO!!!! Underwire underwear... hahahahahahahahahaha..... units leaking.....
HEY!!! These are all natural, dude!!!

Ron That's what I KNEW you would say----that's why I said a few choices. ie MILK!!!! LOL And imagine if my underwire underwear broke a wire...OUCH!!!! LOL

Caryn Yeah your junk would be skewered! OW!

Jen i apparently have enough to justify a wire, but just dont like them...maybe there is a boob to wire ratio that i'm crossing...and i'm not touching underwire underwear...why would you wanna walk around with your junk lifted and seperated???

Jen on a side note...my comment was #69...interesting...hehehe

Ron LOL Good one Jennifer :) And to both of you, do not refer to as junk-----maybe a prize. LOL

Jen lol...well you were the one who said you wished you had enough to warrent a wire in your panties!

Ron Again-----not panties!!!! Men wear underwear. I wear my speedo------------BACKWARDS EVERYDAY!! LOL

Jen well that explains a lot! lol
