AIBU?

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)

I think your incident is why this was invented. Apparently it helps you forget...

Aww poor you. As funny as it is (I'd be lying if I said it wasn't) I wont laugh or karma might get me, in the form of a gust a wind and I only wear dresses.
Thanks for posting. Must have been so embarrasing for you. xx

When I were a lass, I fell down the stairs in Ikea whilst wearing a floaty dress.

No injuries, but, ahem...

Hot weather = no knickers.

The Japanese businessmen nearby seemed to appreciate it.

I've just re-read this post to have another giggle - and agree with the others on here that you do sound a lot of fun! Grin

I've had to re-read it due to the amount of grumpy/pedantic/miserable so and so's on the majority of threads here today! Fridays usually have quite a light-hearted theme to them - but not today!

Full moon? Confused

So thanks again Miranda! :)

I feel so bad for you,Op...I really do...
Here is my embarrassing story...
During a hot sunny day, circa 1994, I took my Mustang round to the car wash for cleaning. I stopped to vacuum the interior first. I was a tiny young thing, long red hair shining in the sun, sheer floaty dress skimming my curves..a car full of admiring blokes parked in bay right behind me. We exchanged several saucy comments, right up until the vacuum sucked my dress up into its intestines...I fought with the machine for several minutes trying to regain control of my dress..standing almost naked in my bikini pants, all the while hooting and cackling coming from the car behind me, cheering the vacuum on..After several desperate attempts I was able to yank my frock from it's suction. My dress was tattered, torn, bits of stray paper and dust bunnies clinging here and there but damn it, I was not left naked.
