When I used to have a normal corporate job I had left my toy inside my bag from the night before after an outcall and in the middle of a meeting something starts vibrating!... I was so embarrassed.. I excused myself and stepped outside pretending it was my phone..at least someone was having fun the night before ha!

Quite a few years ago, I would check my bags (now, carry on ONLY because of this episode).

It was an early morning flight and I packed everything ... make-up, toys and all ... in a checked bag. I was travelling casual in sweats.  It was a nonstop flight from Ft. Lauderdale to NY and I had a client picking me up at the airport. I was going to change & get ready in the bathroom. The flight gets into LGA, I go to get my bag, and it is not there.  I went to baggage claim and was informed that my bag was "retained in Ft. Lauderdale for suspicious reasons." The clerk asked me, "were there any electronic devices or anything in your bag?" I blushed. He said, "Next time, take the batteries out.". I had to wait until 4am for the airline to deliver my bag to my hotel. Needlesstosay, that day a few loyal friends had me greet them dressed in sweats with no makeup. They also had to bring their own supplies.  

Several lessons were learned in that scenario. I no longer check bags, I always take the batteries out, I keep an emergency bag of supplies in my purse and I keep my make-up on me

Travel safe & smart my friends....

Been there. Done that.

It was at the Hard Rock in Tampa.
Pulled up for another weekend of fun with an old flame, as usual. Bellman and valet scurry to the truck, as usual. Take care of valet while the bellman is putting luggage on the cart. Well he grabs the black "Happy Bag" duffel filled with things we'd acquired, and sort of tosses it onto the luggage cart. That's when it happened.
The thing starts buzzing and vibrating to the point I thought it was going to walk itself off the cart. Reeeeally obvious to anyone within a 6 foot radius.
Decision time. Ignore? Come up with story that no one will believe anyway? Show embarrassment and get flustered? Nope. Not really good at any of that.
Just look the bellman in the eye, tell him "I got this", unzip the bag and proceed to turn off every damn zippy buzzing pulsating rotating thing in there. Then stand up...head high...and simply say...."Phew. Gotta keep those batteries good for later, right? Now...let's go check in."

As a side note...I think the Hitachi was quietly laughing inside the bag. Like "I don't do shit until you plug me in, bitch. See what the imitators get ya?"

Just sayin'

Tabu,

I am reminded of this scene from "Fight Club:"

Narrator: Was it ticking?
Airport Security Officer: Actually throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick.
Narrator: Sorry, throwers?
Airport Security Officer: Baggage handlers. But, when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police.
Narrator: My suitcase was vibrating?
Airport Security Officer: Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while...
[whispering]
Airport Security Officer: it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.
Narrator: I don't own...
[Officer waves Narrator off]

when traveling.

But girl that is just wayy too funny. Sorry for your embarrassment but a really good chuckle was needed on this board.

Thank you for the laugh!!
