A rather bizarre product demo!

KathyPet — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:33:16 GMT

so last night I was scrolling through the TV channels looking for something to watch and landed on QVC Plus. What immediately caught my attention was the video they were showing. It was a woman in a tank top sitting in what was obviously a office cubicle shaving her underarms. Now obviously it was intended to show that you could use it anywhere but I thought it was beyond bizarre. I cannot imagine any circumstances that someone sitting in a office would suddenly decide that she could not go another minute without shaving her underarms not to mention the rather skimpy tank top she had on. It certainly left me laughing.

That's hilarious! Thank you, KathyPet, for that great morning laugh!!

By the way, I agree, very bizarre demo.

As bizarre as it sounds, it actually happened in the office where I worked. The air conditioning went out and a coworker wanted to take off her blazer but she hadn't shaved under her arms. She had a camisole on underneath so she went to the nearest drugstore down the street on her break to buy a razor and there she was in her cubicle shaving her underarms.

Wow. I get it, but I'd have at least gone into the restroom to do that.

ITA why would you do it at your desk? I did see the demo, since I happened to have QVC on when they presented the product.

Few weeks back I saw one of the tennis bunnies sitting at our upscale pool/tennis club with a disposable razor shaving her very upper thighs, at least she was still wearing her tennis skirt, I nearly puked. I could not get away from her fast enough.

This is hilarious ..... and once again proof that nothing is personal or private anymore! LOL.... (shaving in a bathroom would be appropriate.... at your desk, uh... no.)

Yuck!

Someone I know used to take the bus every morning and there was another bus rider who was always flossing at the bus stop. I can't remember if it was a man or a woman, but flossing teeth at the bus stop is disgusting no matter who you are.

LOL well I have to say that I'm glad I missed THAT presentation. you're right, it was probably to show "look you can use it anywhere" but well my co-workers would rightfully toss me out if I did that.

I think reading this is my smile for the day.

Outrageous! As another poster pointed out, a person could at least move to a restroom to take care of business. I wonder which ad worker thought of this gem!

It was one of the most ridiculous product demos I have ever seen!

Even the name -- Sphynx -- for bald kitty, according to the vendor last night. I think they tap danced on that double entendre; not subtle at all.

I have had the misfortune of seeing this also. That shared vacation ad they are running on TV now with the hairy soap bar gags me too...

Probably a Millenial dude who's clueless about office etiquette, and women's grooming, lol.

I happened to see it -- nothing surprises me anymore after seeing SK shaving her underarms on TV and doing her awful feet for the viewers.

When I lived and worked in England, I was in a big, multistorey office where we had desks, but no cubicles or separating walls - so very "open plan". Desks were against each other and arranged in blocks of four. (You were each sitting beside one other person and facing another.)

One guy who came to work there as a contractor would routinely come in from his lunch break (presumably having walked?), unbutton his shirt and apply deodorant!

The first time I saw it, I had to look twice to make sure I wasn't imagining it. And even when it was suggested to him that he could do that in the restroom? He didn't see an issue with it and just carried on. Total weirdo with no social awareness. And not even good at his job!

That was an extremely gross presentation but then S.K. will do anything for a buck..LOL

What really grosses me out is for someone (usually a man) to blow their nose really loud in a restaurant, there goes the appetite.
