I abandoned my pants. Am I being unreasonable??

[BeanCalledPickle]

So I'm in the gym. I'm on the treadmill. And I'm ten weeks pregnant. Because of this I am wearing jogging bottoms instead of my usual Lycra as excessive eating in the last ten weeks has meant the acquisition of excessive lard. I'm running along. I feel something dislodge. This isn't good. It works it's way down my leg. And flies out at speed! Clearly the last time I pulled these off I did so with pants and chucked it all in the wash. I have evidently not retrieved pants from leg prior to gym session.

AND NOW THEY ARE LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GYM FLOOR.

I should add that I have on other pants, just for the avoidance of doubt.

So, what would you have done? By the time I had stopped the treadmill two people were kind of looking. I was trying not to attract further attention to myself. A small group are now laughing. I'm trying to ignore. BUT MY PANTS WERE LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR.

Was it unreasonable to abandon my pants???

I think you might need to find a new gym. How could you ever go back???

Yes, I remember that episode, Boulevard! I really liked Donna - I was glad she ended up with the gorgeous (but increasingly bald) Josh.

You see, OP? It happens to all the best people!

Oh god I had this happen on a campsite once when walking to the loo.

I kept going and left them.

Some kind person picked them up and hung them in the hedge and I had to walk past them blushing every day for the rest of the week.

As long as noone saw it happen then deny it. Laugh along with everyone else.

I also dropped a clean bra in a carpark once, next to a holiday cottage I'd just arrived at with my bags. Didnt realise as it was dark. The next day the 20 lads I was holidaying with found the bra and thought it was hysterical some local girl had had a good time in the car park.

It was my best bloody bra and I had to pretend not to know it as they flicked it at each other.

I am so pleased others have had pant embarrassment situations. I am not alone.

Far from it, Bean!

bettercallsaul i got to that episode of BB last night. Your name now has meaning for me

Ah, excellent, Dia! Are you enjoying it?

I expect my posts remain as obscure as ever, though...

I really am. I found season 1 very slow but everyone assured me that it got really good and to stick with it. They were right. Its brilliant. And so funny! Amongst the other stuff ??

There is another poster on MN with a BB-inspired name. Look out for IAmTheOneWhoKnocks (although you're a little way from recognising that phrase at the point you're at! That is a treat in store...)

Ooh i will do! Thanks saul.

Wait up! What happened to the pants!!!??? I have to know!

Definitely ignore.

Oh god this brings back memories. Uni, early 1990s, was in halls one Sunday evening, in a friends room packed with a bunch of folk I had recently met and was trying to impress. Was wearing legging and doc martins (it WAS early 1990s.....)

Felt a huge lump just about the top of my boot. Realised to my horror it must be one of yeterdays socks and had no-where to hide it. Decided to just brazen it out and pulled out said sock from my leggings, announcing "omg, look what I,ve just found!!". Only it wasn't a sock. It was a pair of used definately not my best pants.

I die a little inside every time I think about it!

Many years ago I was in an Indian restaurant with a large group of friends. One girl, looking very anxious and pale, asked me to come to the loo with her. Turned out she had just discovered a large lump on her leg. When she took her jeans down she found the offending pair of knickers, screwed up into a ball inside the leg of her jeans.

This happened to me at my engagement party. We were all sitting outside in the garden to celebrate, lots of members of both sides of the family present. It was getting a bit chilly so I popped upstairs to grab a jumper and put it on in the garden. A pair of my (clean) knickers fell out on the grass! They'd got stuck to the inside of the sleeve in the tumble dryer! Luckily only my mum and MIL noticed, I had to just laugh it off .

My garter sprang from my leg and across the dance floor while I ceilidhed with wild abandon at my wedding. I didn't notice, but my horrified stepfather picked it up, crumpled it in a ball and threw it at my sister/ bridesmaid. Turns out he thinks that it was my pants.

I've done this blushes They worked their way down and ended up on the floor at work. Managed to retrieve when no one was looking and hid my shame as best as possible. I was very, very productive that day!

Need to read this so just place marking

My auntie and her friend were on a London bus, in the sixties, when they were young teenagers. They were idly watching the other passengers, as you do. One woman was standing there, looking gorgeous, in a skirt and heels (and presumably other stuff) when my auntie noticed something odd. The woman's pants were slowly falling down.

They watched, horrified, as the pants continued their inexorable slide to the bus floor. They finally hit. Without any discernible reaction, the woman waited until the bus had stopped, then calmly stepped out of her pants and disembarked.

My aunt talks about it to this day she's now 60

Now THAT is pure pants class.

Pants? What pants? La la la la laaa

comedy tea towel!!!

omg

The police story reminds me of when friend and I went camping in France, aged 18. We were in her MG Midget (yes she was spoilt), and had done a quick overnight stop on the way back to Calais, so we hadn't exactly carefully packed, especially as it was raining so we had the hood up.

Bloody car broke down. I eventually persuaded the breakdown people that it was a strange British car and their best bet was to give it a piggy back as far as Calais and get rid of us (we had a non-changeable ferry ticket). Great plan, except that French customs decided that 2 teenage girls in a broken down sports car must mean that we had stuffed the engine with drugs or something, so they wanted to "inspect" it thoroughly. So we had to put the roof down, to reveal an interesting selection of the previous day's underwear stuffed into the shelf behind the seats . At the time I was more focused on not missing the ferry than anything else, but in retrospect I think they were distinctly unimpressed with English girls standards in underwear.

This happened to me in primary school, and thankfully I no longer live in the area .

I was wearing pants on top of my tights to hold them up (a pair on underneath as well) and forgot to put them back on after PE. Caused much hilarity in year 5. They were my favourites, they had a fairy on them .

My friend once flung her thong at me when getting her purse out to pay for drinks . She was mortified I was hysterical .
