The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI just had the WORST night tonight and I doubt any of you could top this!!
So I'm doing some volunteer work tonight. Because I worked from home today, when I was done with work I had about 15 minutes to get some decent clothes on and get to my volunteer job (smelly sweats and ripped t-shirt would not do).
So I grab the first pair of pants on top of the clean laundry basket and it's a pair of blue cords that just happen to be a bit baggy on me. But I figured I need to get going and it's a job where I stand around so I should be fine. But when walking, about every 2-3 minutes I have to hike up my pants else I'd be like one of those guys with the really droopy drawers except I don't wear oversize underwear underneath.
So leaving the garage I head to what is the usual parking garage where I park. I'm looking for my car, using my remote to see if I can find it and of course, hiking up my pants every 2 seconds. Turns out I didn't park in the normal garage but the one next door.
Ok so I head over there and I recall that I parked on the 2nd floor. The ground level is 1st floor and next flight up is 2nd BUT>...... it turns out the garage next door the 2nd level is actually 3 flights up - first floor is ground and 2nd floor would be the 1 on the elevator.
OMG I'm strolling around this garage, lugging my purse and a magazine. I didn't wear a coat so I'm getting cold AND of course my coin slot is pretty much visible to anyone who wants to see it because the damn pants are getting really frustrating!!! Wait, I click the remote and I can hear my car but I can't see it ANYWHERE on the floor. So I go to the elevator and discover that there is a ground floor and I'm probably down a level. By about now I'm also ready to piss my pants.
NIGHTMARE
I'm hiding those pants so I don't suffer thru them again or at least finding a belt to wear.
goodwill for those pants.... forget the belt

(5,909 posts)I had a pair like that that I couldn't stand any longer, so got rid of them immediately. Those are the worse---who in the hell wants to pull up their pants every 2 seconds?

(9,681 posts)She said.. "you know how sometimes when you get undressed at night you take everything off at once? Well in the morning I had to run into the grocery store quickly so just grabbed my pants from the night before. Walking down the aisle of the grocery store I feel something on the bottom of my shoe, thinking I stepped in something in the parking lot I tried to shake it off. To my surprise it was my underwear wrapped around my shoe. I just kind of slid it along till no-one was looking and picked it up and shoved it in my purse."

(20,277 posts)I had a lovely evening.
Years ago I was taking some files down to an attorney that was heading out to court. One of the snarkiest, prissy-est and meanest secretaries on earth was on the elevator with me and 2 other people. She stepped up to the door a floor or so before she was getting out. Her granny panties slid down. She just stood there. When the door opened, she stepped out of the undies and got off. A quick thinking guy that worked in docket stepped up, held the door and kicked them out of the elevator after her. I think we all came close to dying we were laghing so hard. It was by far, one of the best things that has happened to me at a job.

(8,492 posts)...my best friend was getting married. She had one of those over the top, ridiculously expensive weddings. Her dress had a 6 foot train.
We're standing at the back of the church, waiting to walk down the aisle. I hear, "Pssst..." I turn around and she's turned pure white and looks about to faint (which she had done earlier that day). I walked over and asked what was wrong. "My underwear just ripped and is hanging around my knees.
I got down on my knees, trying to be as discreet as humanly possible, pretended to adjust her dress/train, reached under her dress and yanked them off. She went through the entire wedding and reception commando and I had her torn underwear hidden in my bouquet. Oh...and she was a very prudish girl and a virgin.
After that, her 3 tier, 3 sectioned cake with waterfall fell over.

(95,337 posts)I mean was she wearing some pair she bought 5 years ago where it's now all faded and the elastic is worn? I mean it's a big fancy wedding - splurge on some new undies that will fit!
Wait Wut
(8,492 posts)Very, very expensive lace bikini underwear. Apparently, not very well made, very, very expensive lace. The waist band just fell apart at the seam. She did go back to the store and threw a fit. I felt really bad for her, because there were other customers giggling like crazy and the sales associate looked like she was having a hard time holding back, too.
I was at a wedding back in the day where they had one of those giant cakes. This one had like 10 little plastic people on it and a wee fountain. The fountain sprung a leak. There was a frosting land slide and a couple of the plastic people croaked in the land slide.

Anyway, glad to see you didn't get arrested or anything.
