I have never looked as much a complete idiot as I did this morning.

[DoubleNegativePanda]

I was running late this morning and ran around like a crazy person getting us out and on the school run. Dropped dd off and ran into work late, joined the morning staff meeting in progress. Coworker motioned at my legs and whispered "what happened?" which of course while quiet still caught the attention of the group who all looked at me.

Somehow, and I have no fucking idea how it happened, I trod in butter. Why was butter on the floor? I couldn't tell you. So there I am in clinic, standing there with a fucking lump of softened butter all over the side of my shoe and smeared on the legs of my scrubs (which must have happened when I was driving).

I had to consciously stop myself from dancing around trying to hide my foot behind myself which would only make it worse. Then I had to go stand in my pants in the bathroom trying to scrub butter out of my trouser legs with hand soap. WTAF is happening in my life that I'm standing in my pants at work with butter on my shoes.

Before anyone asks me how I failed to notice it myself, I have gigantic massive norks and haven't seen my feet in decades.

I'm just at a loss. I'm also a bit scared to go home and see what carnage I've made of my house walking around with butter feet, and how much worse my cats will have made it.

Did it cover your bum

@Mum2OneTeen
that wasnt in Richmond NZ was it? because i raced up to a lady in the mall there and sort of herded her in a corner and sort of tried to shield her from view and told her she had loo paper trailing out of her skirt, she was mortified!

@MadamBatty the more you ignored your helpful receptionist the worse it got 😂. Yes, hopefully they thought it was the norm. Did you ever see them again? Do you need to smear lipstick all over your face each time you meet with them?!

I was at work on a night shift, busy A&E department and the skin under my nose was really sore and cracked after a recent cold. I pulled out my little tin of Vaseline lip balm and rubbed it liberally on the skin to soothe it. Luckily, a very lovely colleague pointed out to me that I had in fact just smeared red tinted Vaseline lip balm all over my nose and top lip. only after I'd triaged several patients though

@Italianna My poor receptionist literally had to grab my arm. Worse was the red lipstick sort of stained the skin. I scrubbed but it was still visible. The Vietnamese were very polite and i think they thought all Irish people are mad.

I've done the walk of shame with toilet roll stuck to the sole of my shoe.

And I thought I was getting attention because of my sexy red dress

Many years ago I grabbed my denim jacket on the way out of the door and ran to the train station with it slung over my shoulder.

Stood waiting for the train and went to get my pass out of the jacket pocket.

Only I hadn't picked up my denim jacket. I had picked up my denim JEANS

OMG. Sorry, I haven’t LOL so much for a long time. You are brilliantly human and I love you so much. It could easily happen to any of us, especially me.

I once went to work wearing my slippers. Fortunately they were rather nice Chinese embroidered ones so they didn't look too bad, could have been worse I suppose, fluffy kittens, or dinosaurs or something......

You should watch Harriet Schulenburg (Olivia Colman) in Green Wing to make yourself feel better (or not!). I once witnessed a very superior colleague's pink knickers slowly emerge from the bottom of her trouser leg while we were in a meeting. No-one said a word as she eventually realised what was happening and tried to hide them. She must have taken them off with her trousers when she last wore them and not realised they were still there. How British of her and us
not to say anything.

this really make me laugh. I needed that.

My delightful ds sneezed when I was putting on his sun cream one summer and it wasn’t until I spoke to one of my colleagues that she informed me I had a big green bogey in my hair

belleend that is hilarious 🤣

😂😂😂😂

That is so funny
Had to read it out to my husband
He loved it
You’ve brightened our day op
What are you doing tomorrow 😂

This is for you lot 😂

I have gone out wearing odd crocs before. Double shame...!

I once arrived at work for one of my colleagues took a look at me and promptly pissed herself laughing

I had tumbled my trousers that morning and due to static a pair of my bright red knickers had stuck to the arse of my trousers. I was oblivious.
I had walked through the staff car park and through our very big building like it and not one bugger thought to tell me!

I went to an interview and as I sat down I was told my blouse buttons had come undone, looked down and my bra was fully on display. I have also gone to work in odd shoes.

i thought you weren’t allowed to wear scrubs outside the hospital because of cross contamination..,

Have been laughing at these...I frequently go out with my tops on inside out! (why?!!!) And no...I don't subscribe to the "Its unlucky to change them the right way round now" school of thought...particularly as I work in a SCHOOL!

I heard someone walking down the corridor yesterday farting with every step. He looked everso embarrassed when he got to my office and saw that the door was open

On more than one occasion I’ve tidied up laundry, pegging stray pegs on my back jeans pocket, forgot about them and gone about my day.

Before anyone asks me how I failed to notice it myself, I have gigantic massive norks and haven't seen my feet in decades.

Even at a normal weight I have a pot belly. I haven't seen my feet since I was 13.

I got up out of a chair to speak to a builder this morning, got entangled in my Seasalt culottes, fell forward onto my knees at the builder's feet and farted as I hit the floor. He looked mortified. I was up like a shot with a tinkly little laugh and pretended the fart hadn't happened.
