My slip slid off while I was walking to work on 5th Avenue and 43rd St. Yup, just dropped to the ground in a puddle at my feet. I scooped it up and shoved it in my bag and prayed that none of my co-workers happened to see it. Who knows, No one ever said anything, but....And then there was the story of toilet paper sticking out of the back of my pants on an airplane, but we probably need to go out and have many drinks before I can share that with you, lol.

She never even paused for breath, just picked it up walked into the closet & (presumably!) put it back on, walked right back out & kept on talking!

What a story....definitely a priceless memory I'm sure your kids and husband still enjoy:) This isn't nearly as bad, but my good friend who taught across the hall from me was standing at her board one day teaching away when all of a sudden her half slip just fell to her feet! I asked her what she did and she said she just picked it up and threw it on her desk and kept on teaching! I was just trying to post a comment on your post about your remodeling but for some reason it wouldn't let me type anything. Wanted to tell you I can't wait to see your new bedroom. The color you have now looks identical to what's in my bedroom! It's been in there for years now and I'm ready for a change. I think I still want green but a lighter, brighter green. I am so terrible at picking colors...I am interested in seeing what color you choose. Everything you do turns out perfectly!!!CHERIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339717663308847703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-32643233738602770152022-02-14T20:26:34.103-05:002022-02-14T20:26:34.103-05:00This story never gets old!

I haven’t stepped into a store in two years and it’s worked out well. I used to buy so many things I didn’t need, because they are displayed so well…I still get some great things there, but I’m less distracted by all the shiny aisles. And yes, I’m sure I put on quite a show in the parking lot with those panties pasted to my back. What a mess!!

My grandparents were born in the late 1800's to 1900, so I'm very familiar with just how scandalous that sight would've been. I have to tell you that I would've crawled out the window, too. More power to those ladies...quick thinking and brave!! Thanks for the reciprocal laugh. What a great Valentine!!

It was a really gross store and your story is just one of them! I really cried laughing but I know that it wasn't that funny for you. Since you figured out that you had been walking around with them stuck to your back was probably more embarrasing than actually them falling off of you right then. Our store finally is gone and Target will be taking its place.I am beyond excited and if someone's underwear falls off in there, I will always think of you, unless it is mine!.

Such a funny story but i am sure you were mortified at the time especially when your child says "Mommy, isn't that your underwear?" LOL!!! Okay, This may make you feel better....My Mother always told the story about her and her friend going to a dance. Now mind you my mother would be 103 this year. She said this group of girls came out of the bathroom and back then, more girls danced with each other. Everyone was pointing and laughing so the one girl looked behind the one she was dancing with and her skirt was caught up in the top of her underwear exposing her behind...Remember back then they wore underwear and a garter belt that held their stockings in place!! So they danced right back into the bathroom, returning only a few minutes to the dance floor with her skirt now pulled down and looking the right and proper way!!!! I would have crawled out the window in the bathroom and went home if that happened to me!!!! LOL!! I hope my little story made you laugh like yours made me laugh this afternoon....And I am sure that when I think of it from time to time, I will chuckle!!!<br />Thanks for sharing, my friend!!<br />Hugs,<br />DebDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-10928092753965464542022-02-14T15:48:51.775-05:002022-02-14T15:48:51.775-05:00My husband's aunt was walking down the street ...My husband's aunt was walking down the street and her underwear fell down and she walked out of them and kept walking like nothing happened.

I can actually feel the pit in your stomach just thinking about what kind of day that must've been for you...as both a former kindergartener, kindergarten teacher and a mom. I think I would've gone to the nurse and said I was sick so my mother would've come to pick me up. Of course, when I was younger that wasn't really a thing. You literally had to be dying for them to call home! Thanks for sharing your tale with us.

We were in the country!! Well, I took the bus to school every day and as soon as I sat down, the cold plastic seat informed me that I had forgotten to put on panties that day.!! I was ever so careful to sit with my legs together in class, but then...recess. That day the boys decided to play "skirts in the air" a favorite pastime when the boys would race around the recess yard lifting up unsuspecting girls'skirts! I couldn't stay standing, so I sat on the steps of the school front stoop with 2 of my friends on either side of me. They didn't know my dilemma, of course, but kept me company. When the incredibly long day finally ended, and I went home, my mom commiserated with me when she heard my story, but I never again forgot to wear my underwear! Panties were the first thing I put on after that!!Gabinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-50267083488953083122022-02-14T12:13:02.769-05:002022-02-14T12:13:02.769-05:00LOL tooooo funny.

She was at an indoor auction. She got up to go to the ladies room and on the way back she noticed her expensive undies lying in the aisle. She swooped down and grabbed them shoving them in her pocket. Her husband couldn't believe she picked them up. She said but they were one of her favourites. We believe that static cling held them in her slacks. We were hysterical when she told the story at work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698157567598413374noreply@blogger.com
