The nurse showed up to do my "medical exam" for my life insurance policy renewal, and we sat down at my dining room table. Knowing that I was holding my pee for the urine sample, she promptly handed me a lidless cup with a pour spout on it and sent me off to "fill it to the marked line".
I complied and returned, cup in hand.
She looked up and said, "Just set it right there," indicating that I should set it on a piece of paper she'd laid on my table.
"My family eats there," I said.
"You can put it on the paper," she replied. Apparently, she did so many of these a day, she failed to see the significance.
"My family eats there," I said again.
Finally, she poured it off into two little tubes and capped them tightly.
Thanks for the picture, Zazzle
Note to self: When Hubs renews his policy in a couple years, I think I'll have them avoid sitting at my dining room table.

EW! I am with you!
Seriously she didn't have any better tact then to do that?? WTH I would complain to the company that sent her
Some people just don't get the germ thing do they? Except that urine is one of the most sterile fluids...or suppose to be right? Still doesn't matter.
Reminds me of the time my uncle was in the hospital and suppose to be giving a sample for some test. Instead he poured his apple juice in the cup. When the nurse came in to collect the cup he said it looked a little cloudy and he was going to run it through again. He promptly drank it and set the cup down wiping his mouth with his hand. No doubt he wasn't the first one who has done this but I'm sure the look on her face was price less.
eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I"m sorry, how do you NOT see the signifigance of putting a cup of PEE on a DINING table?
*shudder*
Oh dear... Not many things leave me speechless!
OK,I was a little horrified, but then I read Daffy's comment and burst out laughing. Niiiiiice.
She could at least bring a little plastic placemat instead of a piece of paper. lol.
Read this just before leaving work. Had me a chuckle. Love it...
Yea, next time tell her you can meet at her place.....at her dining room table. See if she agrees to that business. LOL
Ewewwwww!
I know pee is supposed to be sterile but really? Silly lady, a paper? That's not enough of a barrier lol
