So I've become a professional hermit in the last few years and my social anxiety is worse. I started a new job about 5 weeks ago and it's going well even if it is stressful. The girls I am training with are pretty awesome and we work well together. Thank goodness for that small miracle.
Today at work, I was wearing a sports bra that zips in the front. I had forgotten laundry etc and threw it on in a rush as I was late for work this am (it was one of those days). So you see where this is going....at lunch, in a crowded cafeteria at our work, the zipper decides to quit it's day job. I'm trying not to call attention to myself but the automatic reflex is to grab at it. Did I mention I work with very smart and observant people?? They caught on quick and hilarity ensued. Going home was not an option so I had to spend the rest of the afternoon with the girls free and they ar not small girls. Luckily we were in cubicles today. Many funny suggestions were considered. But seriously....at work??? Thank goodness it didn't happen during a training session with my trainer....that would have been worse.
''So please tell me your story and make me feel better

Um, I did yard duty and taught 2 periods of math with my zipper down today. Lol. Thankfully one of my teacher friends told me during recess. Lol

Two pairs of white tennis shoes. Rush to get to the bank before it closed. Wore one shoe from each pair and didn't realize it until I was standing in line at the bank.  And only noticed it because my feet felt different! |

My sister and her husband were in town recently, and we went out to lunch. I sat down on my side of the booth and couldn't figure out why it felt so cool on the back of my leg. I put my hand back there and realized that the back of my pants had split wide open. From the inseam to the outseam, right under my left butt cheek. 😮

I went out the front gate and started walking down the footpath. I felt like something wasn't right but couldn't figure out what it was. Then I caught sight of my shadow and realised I still had my hair wrapped up in a towel on top of my head after washing it and putting on my make up. Luckily we lived in a quiet street then.
And once I had a near miss when I was halfway to work in the car and realised I still had my slippers on, not my shoes.

I had a fat day at work where I sat at my desk with the top of my pants cutting into my skin so uncomfortably. I contemplated whether or not I could unbotton my pants to breath and if anyone would notice? I knew my thighs were large enough to hold the pants up, but ultimately I decided against it. That was the day I decided I needed to go out and buy fat pants. 3 months later those fat pants are 2 inches too loose on my waist! I still think it was a good investment over winter so I could sit comfortably at work. Unfortunately I just noticed that those 2 new pairs don't have belt loops so I will soon not be able to wear them. Who makes business slacks without belt loops?
Earlier this week my bra strap came undone so I had to go in the bathroom and completely take off my shirt to reattach it. lol It's one of those convertible bras so the straps can be taken out and criss crossed.

The time when the nursing tank bra failed to clasp as I hustled to the door and right in the middle of signing for the package the flap fell down... I was so exhausted that I'm not even sure I blushed.

Once at work my underwire worked its way through my bra and started digging into my side. I took it off and threw it away and I'm pretty sure no one noticed  More than once I've left the house in my Ugg slippers instead of shoes. They have hard soles and I wear them all the time so I forget sometimes. Once I was halfway to work and had to go back. Now I've banned myself from putting them on in the morning if I have to work that day. |

I've worn my slippers to the store. Not on purpose. The slippers I was wearing had soles that were rigid and I often forgot I had on slip on slippers.
In a rush, I've left the house with no bra. Good thing I'm a b cup and under most hoodies or coats you can't tell.
I've had period accidents where the heavy flow appeared without sufficient protection and I would tug on my coat hoping the red spot wouldn't show.

I once walked all the way across campus with my skirt tucked under my backpack. I thought I was looking so cute that day in my skirt and tights. Good thing I had tights on so I wasn't showing off all the goods.

Not really embarrassing but I don't like to wear shoes so if I'm going somewhere I can stay in the car I won't bother to put them on. Been busted at that a few times.

I came home from running errands & noticed my whole ss was ripped out of my shorts. Only I wasn't wearing underwear! I went to the post office & several stores. I have no idea how long it was like that |

Not so much a malfunction...had been at the gym but since I was just going home I figured I'd wait to shower. On my drive home I decided to go to the second hand clothing store first but didn't want to go and try clothes on with my squish-your-boobs sports bra, so I just changed bras in the front seat of my car lol!

I once wore two completely different shoes to a job interview. Neither shoe matched my suit. I still got the job.  |

Good thing I had tights on so I wasn't showing off all the goods. A similar thing happened to me one day when I was wearing a cute skirt and pantyhose. I'd been trying on clothes in shops along a road (not in a mall). After trying on some jeans I put my nude coloured pantyhose and skirt back on and was walking along the VERY busy road. A girl sidled up alongside me and whispered "Your skirt it tucked into your pantyhose." Yep, I'd been walking along the road with my bum on display to everyone. I quickly ducked into a doorway and pulled my skirt out. I guess the one good thing was that I was skinny back then - I'd be even more mortified if it happened now and my fat bum was on display. |

When I had my 2nd son I was totally sleep deprived and walked around JCPenny with my nursing bra unlatched. Even though I had a top on, it was pretty clear that one boob was sagging lower than the other..

I was very particular how I dressed for the gym and my top coordinated with my hoodie perfectly, all Lululemon. I had my yoga pants on inside out and backwards. Yeah, that's a real skill there.

When I was living and working in London, I used to go to a market near work at lunchtime. One day a woman can up to me in the market and asked if I knew that my dress had split down the centre back seam! Thankfully not all the way but still a reasonable length. I'd come out without a jacket and had to sidle back to the office and hope that not everyone out in the street would notice!

I grabbed a pair of jeans out the of dryer and put them on to go to the store. As I was pushing my cart around I felt something strange in one leg of my pants and suddenly a pair of underwear fell out of the bottom of my pants. I probably could have gotten away with picking up my underwear and stuffing it in my pocket with out drawing attention to myself but I started laughing and couldn't stop. The only saving grace was that it was clean underwear and that they didn't have holes in them.
At my previous job I had to wear suits and business attire. I have problems with my feet so when I found comfortable shoes I would get various colors. I kept my shoes at work in my office (under my desk). I am embarrassed to say that on more than one occasion I wore different color shoes to various meetings and would never notice until people mentioned it to me.

I wore a white cami and slip under a black dress to a dance. They had black lights at the dress that made my white undergarments glow they the dress. I hid in the corners of the room all night.

Oh my gosh, I have done so many of these--worn the shoes of different colors (one brown and the other black), worn slippers to work, had shirts on inside out, etc. But the worse thing I ever did was wear a very low cut shirt to work. I typically wear a camisole underneath the the shirt, so it's never a problem, but this one day I completely forgot. So, I get to work, realize how exposed I am, and fix it with a safety pin. Hours later, I have a meeting with a client (I work in a law firm), signed papers, chit chatted for a bit, and then walked him to the door. Before going back to my desk, I went to the bathroom, did my business, and as I'm washing my hands, look in the mirror and see that the safety pin was gone and I was exposing pretty much everything!! To make matters worse, I was wearing a very utilitarian bra--nothing pretty or frilly!

I wore a brand new sweater to a job interview. After I left the interview, I noticed a little clear bag with extra buttons hanging from my under arm!!
It was a temp job and I didn't get it.

Sigh...toilet paper on the toilet seat really isn't a good idea even if you are a germa-phobe. Young, pretty, looking good in spandex & heels and walking through the bar thinking I look hot and that is why people are staring at me. NOPE.. it is the tp trailing behind me.  |

Or how about the time I was wearing a pencil skirt to work.It was a great skirt and I loved it until I ripped it and the lining all the way to the bottom of the zipper. Again, skill need here to do this. You could see my ass even though pantyhose were black.

We have a store here called Habits which sells capsule travel stuff made of dense, high quality Lycra. The straight pants (Not tight, not clingy, I am not a leggings person) are so comfortable I got them in all the dark colours. I wore them everywhere, usually with a long, bum covering jacket or tunic because that is my thing.
I found out at a scrapbooking event that those things photograph funny with flash. So now I am tortured, wondering how many times I was not wearing a jacket long enough to cover my bum. How many times my tunic was not long enough in front. How many times I had an open front jacket on. Whether strong light did the same thing as flash. And why the h*€£ my so - called buddies didn't warn me.

And only noticed it because my feet felt different!
