Thought this could be quite entertaining!

The other day I was going back to my car after going to the local supermarket, and noticed I had walked around the whole shop with my keys in my hand and a lip strap for a curb chain dangling from them. And although its not really that amusing it got me thinking I bet there are quite a few funny stories out there!

About 2 weeks ago I was in the pub, and my OH went into my bag for something and pulled out a loose ring snaffle. We happened to be in with the rowdiest/sexually charged lads at the time, so que lots of comments about WTF is that/handcuffs/bondage etc.

And another one of mine was when I was on a night out and I was in a club. I was washing my hands in the toilets and someone asked me if I had a brush. I never carry brushes/make up around with me, but then I suddenly remembered I had a pulling comb on me! Girl was slightly bemused but gladly used it!

So come one share your funny/strange/embarrassing stories :)
 
In the summer I got stopped at airport security for my handbag to be searched, I suddenly realised I had a hoofpick in there that must have been lost in the bottom for months! They searched the bag but all they pulled out were my nail varnishes thankfully! Apparently the hoofpick was fine to take onto the plane!

got one for you Embo, i think!, iv'e got a crummy bit of garden next to the house , washing line in there and i let the horses in to graze, one pair of lonely kickers left on the line and who should grab them but naughty Mr P , found them poohed on and mashed into the ground, put them in my pocket where they festered for a while... in the supermarket, at the check out, bit of a runny nose, think i am pulling out a hanky but NO its the manky knickers..... oh the shame !!!
 
on a Saturday morning I was half a sleep so popped the shop for an energy drink on the way to the yard. the shop assistant made a funny comment (cant remember what it was) but I didn't get it anyway and thought nothing of it. Anyway got back in my car and realised i had one of my OH socks stuck to the Velcro on my coat at about chest height- how I didnt notice I have no idea!
 
The local shop is well used to me pulling out twine, penknives, loose polo's et al out of my pockets before finding the stray £1 coin in the bottom of the pocket!
 
I remember years ago collecting some liquid parrafin and a couple of 50ml syringes from the vets to treat "naughty pony" after she had broken into the food store, and had to stop and get petrol on the way back. At the cashdesk I needed to pull all this stuff out my bag........the lady behind the counter gave me a veeery strange look, I think she thought it was for me!

I just said "Dont ask!!!"

Same thing happened to a friend I was travelling with. In her defence we were going on a riding holiday. Hoofpick was confiscated by security at Luton airport.
 
Numerous times I've had plastic syringes and used nitrile gloves fall out. Other than that I normally look like I've climbed out of a ditch, so I don't think people expect 'clean' and normal.
 
Colleagues at work were pulling toys from their bags that their children had stashed in there and were having a bit of a 'weirdest item in your bag' competition. I blew the competition out of the water with a nose net (grubby and grass stained), attachment for the noseband and a single spur strap.

I love the 'knickers' tale, bet that got you some looks!
 
A packet of (bright) pink latex gloves . . . from my work bag . . . I use them for sheath cleaning - had bought a new pack and (I'm not sure how) they had ended up in my bag . . . tossed them onto the conference room table while looking for my phone. Took some explaining, I can tell you . . . and I'm not sure that the explanation that I use them to clean my horse's willy helped matters either.

Not fallen out of handbag....but a friend of mine dropped off some supplies for poulticing.

My (then new) lodger woke up to find a bag full of nappies and duck tape - that took a bit of explaining!
 
Ha ha cringe at the knocked story. I once broke down and the AA guy opened my boot to attach the rear electrics etc he saw the contents which included a long rope with leather end, selection of whips, strappy high heels and a base ball bat. Random I know but he gave me some really odd looks. I spent most of the 2 hour drive convincing him I ride, play softball and went out last week

I've given work colleagues lifts before now and had to explain the collection of long whips and leather strappy looking things in the back seat of my car . . .

always! i stink so much sometimes of horses they all move away from me at the check out, i emptied so much hay and nuts on the conveyor belt once they had to get a mini hoover out , very funny i thought, frowny checkout lady not so impressed!!!!
 
Not exactly public but I have had at least one boyfriend misunderstand the presence of varying types of whip (jumping, schooling, piaffe, lunging, etc) in my house....
 
I took my car to be serviced one time not really thinking about the horsey items in it. It was inly when the mechanic asked me curiously what I did for a living that I realised I had on the back seat the following items :
rubber gloves
schooling whip
clippers
vaseline
baby oil AND a large bottle of liquid with SHEATH CLEANER writ large upon it . Oh Dear !
 
I pulled a dead mouse out of my pocket when I was fishing around for some money to pay in a shop.

And gave a non horsey friend a lift to a wedding do. Earlier that day I'd been cleaning up a newish horse on the yard that had developed strangles. As she threw my smelly yard coat into the back the rather large pusy scab fell out of the pocket and onto her dress.
 
mainpower: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

My thing is mainly hay. Hay on my head, hay stuck to my concert clothes, hay in the harpsichords (we use the horse box to move them), hay in my pockets. I suppose I shouldn't feed horses in work clothes! (I say this as I sit here after a concert, with hay stuck all over a knitted dress, and I'm not quite sure how to get it off, short of hoovering it!) A feed bucket properly belonging to my pony was used to transport opera props last year, too.
 
I walked round a large supermarket with a pair of my knickers caught in the velcro on my hi viz jacket, bridget jones nickers at that, mortified I was, MORTIFIED, another time I was at the airport coming home from my daughters, I had reclaimed several bits of horse gear and she had packed my bag, being in the forces, she gets a lot more in than I could, anyway, the avon sss used as fly spray showed up on the xray, so bag was checked, I nearly fainted at the thought of re packing the bag, what the guy didn't find was the schooling whip, buried at the bottom, god bless him, he tried to repack my bag, but my daughter is good, I ended up wearing three coats through customs, I'm driving down next time
 
Agree with the hay getting EVERYWHERE also when popping up the pub an being asked for a lighter as I was chatting away to someone else I rumaged in my pocket and handed it to them, they said they were confused about how it worked, turned to see why and saw I'd given them a (used) digital rectal thermometer, was ever so slightly embarrassed but managed to convince the (tipsy) person it was a high tech lighter with a clock on it and lent them a "normal" one instead - phew! X
