Most embarrassing moments.....

[Dianyla]

About 10 years ago I was the only woman working in our all-male IT support department. I had this horrible shift that started at 5:30am, and I am not a morning person, so I was always very groggy getting up and dressed for work. Also, I usually dressed in the dark so as to not disturb my then-boyfriend.

One morning, I put on a new pair of panties and then picked up yesterday's jeans off the floor and pulled them up. Went to work, didn't notice a thing. Sometime in the middle of the day, I looked under my desk and saw... yesterday's panties on the floor! WTF? How did those get there?

Apparently yesterday's panties, stuck into yesterday's jeans, had fallen out the bottom of my pants leg. More embarrassingly, they had actually dropped out somewhere in the hallway that passed in front of my desk. All of my coworkers had seen them. When I asked a male coworker the story finally came out that they had all happened across the errant panties while I was busy on the phone and after some covert panicked whispering they all decided that the best course of action would be to kick them under my desk.

My turn, although I can't top the loose panties...

Some years ago when I lived in Phoenix and was dating a Park Ranger (law enforcement)...
Anyway we had gone to the grocery store in Goodyear where he used to be a sargent in the town's police department, and I'm writing a check to pay for our groceries, and he says: "did you get that bad check thing cleared up?"

Now I'd never written a bad check, and they knew he was a cop...

Fortunately my check cleared on that electronic gizmo stores used.

And I was ready to throttle him!

Well, I probably shouldn't tell this story because it's not about me but about The Boy, but it's so darned funny I can't help myself . The Boy is a small guy. We often joke that between the two of us, we almost make up one average adult male in weight (I'm 130 lbs and he's 140, neither of us tops 5'5").

So one night we had done laundry and folded before going to bed, then got up the next morning and I had gone to work and afterwards he woke up and got to work. Later on that evening when we were both home from work I did a double-take. All of a sudden The Boy looked very.... curvaceous.

I asked him what jeans he was wearing, and he said they were his, he'd folded them last night and put them in his closet. And I started laughing and asked if I could see the tag, and sure enough, he had been wearing my size 8 women's boot cut jeans (he did look rather bootylicious in them).

He was so embaressed, he got changed out of them right away, saying he thought they'd felt odd all day.

The best part is, he works in a male-dominated techy engineering company. I'm sure some of the guys thought he was going a bit off in the fashion department (but he really doesn't have a clue about fashion, i guess this proves it).

The worst part? I think he may have looked better in my jeans than me....

I have a couple work-related ones. One day while in court (I am an atty.), I was walking down the hallway looking at my file, trying to figure out what courtroom I was gong to. I rounded a corner without looking up, intending to go into the women's restroom, I pushed the first door I came to and went all the way in before I realized there were MEN in there - the MEN's room- they were all laughing. Of course, several of them just had to end up in the same courtroom I was in. Another time while in court, I looked at an atty next to me and said, "don't I know you?" He said, "Yes, we had a deposition together yesterday" (I am very bad with names and faces). There are a few others, but I won't go into those!!

okie dokes my turn:


I used to have to wear a suit to work (thank the Good Lord no more) and I wore garters and hose. Some mornings after getting to work my garters, hose, slip, blouse et al were kattywampus from the drive in so I would put everything back in it's place while in my office....after all the windows were heavily tinted so no one could see anything right??........well imagine my shock and surprise the morning I got to work a tad late and realized once you turn the lights on - you could see Everything through those windows!!!

Oh so very many but here is my top two.

When I moved to Washington, I had an apartment on the first floor. It backed up to a hill with underbrush and plants and because I had cats that would climb behind the blinds and make noise (the blinds rattled), I left the blinds up in my bedroom. There was nothing out there, no trails or anything and nobody ever went on that side of the apartment building.

I would get home from work around 1am so I would sleep rather late. During the summer it would get warm and I often would fall asleep on top of the covers. With no clothes on.

One morning around 9am I heard, in my sleep, the phrase "on the bed". I opened my eyes, looked toward the window, and the faces of about 7 schoolchildren were pressed against the window. I screamed and yelled about as many obscenities as someone can come up with after just waking up. The schoolchildren ran off.

I was horrified. I could no longer sleep in that room even with the blinds down. As a few months went by, it dawned on me that I was probably older than their mothers. And a kid seeing their mother naked would deem it as being gross. I alternated between being embarassed by being seen and offended because maybe they DID think it was gross. This was only about six years ago...so who knows. Either way, it's bad.

More recently and a few years after this, I got braces. I was single and lo and behold I had a DATE. I had never met this guy - he was a friend of a mutual friend who thought we would be perfect together. We had e-mailed and talked on the phone and liked each other a LOT. I hadn't eaten in public since getting braces and I was feeling pretty insecure about them. What I did in those cases is pretend like I am totally ok and gosh darn it I am PROUD of having braces. I'm good at faking it. After panic-ridden e-mail to friends with braces, I learned that when you eat, swishing water can dislodge food. Good. My date and I went out for drinks then went out for dinner. I tried to get something that wouldn't stick in my teeth though I learned pasta (which is what I got) was a BAD decision. As I tried to be semi-elegant with my food and wine, I quietly got a mouthful of water and tried to swish it around to get the bits of food out. I am not graceful. I did end up spitting the water (and dislodged food) out over the table and onto my date. We got married about a year and a half later

I wore garters and hose.

O Dear...this reminds me of being in 7th grade, and attempting to use thigh highs instead of regular pantyhose. Well, you can imagine being 13 yrs old, and having your stockings fall down in front of the 8th & 9th grade boys in the hall, which is exactly what happened. I'll never forget one of them saying, "Her garter broke!"

Another favorite story my mom used to tell me was of my grandmother, walking down the street one day, when her panties worked themselves down and slid right down to her ankles. Apparently my granny simply stepped out of them and kept on walking, leaving them there on the sidewalk! LOL Why wasn't I born with that kind of panache!?!
