WIBU to never show my face in Tescos again?

Lovely day today, light breeze, sun's in the sky so I opt for a floaty skirt and t-shirt and decide to walk to the nearby Tesco Express on my lunch break to go and grab something to eat.

As I come out, my arms full of handbag, shopping and phone, the light breeze decides to lift my skirt high, around my boobs revealing everything (today was the day I chose not to wear tights) and showing the whole city my white, lacy knickers. And not-small-at-all bum. Blush Blush Blush

People saw. Children pointed. Old men laughed and commented.

I had no hands to hold my skirt down so pressed myself against the side of Tesco (large window) to hold the back down and used my handbag to push the front down.

Old man still laughing.

I try and laugh it off with a particularly joyful old man and eventually get the situation under control. (Cars had slowed down by this point to look)

Only to realise that I wasn't actually holding my skirt down at the back with the window but in fact had my bottom (skirt caught up) pressed against the glass right next to the queue for the tills

To make matters worse the ground in Tesco is lower than outside so my arse was basically at head height. Blush

WIBU to never show my face in Tescos again? Not that its my face they'd recognise... Sad

(If anyone has some embarassing stories to share, I'd be much obliged. This happened hours ago but you could signal planes with my red face)

Perhaps they thought it was an advertising stunt

FondantNancy · 29/08/2013 19:05

In situations like that you should try and cover your face, not your arse. And then burn the clothes you were wearing.

Sorry OP,but it did make me laugh.

HerrenaHarridan · 29/08/2013 19:19

Too funny!

At least you were wearing pretty knickers and not grotty period pants!

I've got another Tesco one OP. Walked right across the car park before realising that the buttons on the front of my dress had come undone down to the waist. I was flaunting my ample bosom and less-than-flattering-heavy-duty-bra to all and sundry. I probably drove there like that too.

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 29/08/2013 19:52

Grin thanks for sharing.

shockers · 29/08/2013 19:54

I think the old man was laughing because it was the best thing that had happened to him in years.

Today you did a great service for the miserable folk in your area Grin.

I really wish I was there! Haha.

Don't worry. Our vicar's wife walked up to communion last week with her top unbuttoned down to her naval. (By accident I add). I saw the whole congregation raise their eyebrows and thought 'what's wrong'.

When saw her passing me in the aisle I did a quick eye point and surreptitious finger point.

Cue vicar's wife leaving church early with red face.

redstormrising · 29/08/2013 20:03

Oh, and she has to come back.

We aint Tescos.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/08/2013 20:59
Grin Poor you. I am holding my nose here, desperately trying to stifle a laugh so as not to wake the sleeping baby. My eyes are streaming and my ers are popping!

Littleen · 29/08/2013 21:07

oh pless you!! Stay away for a few weeks, and wear something completely different next time you're there :P I dyed my hair once to avoid being recognized! I'm sure most will not remember your face, so just make sure to cover the bum up and you'll be alright ;)
