To think someone could have bloody told told me!

[TempusEedjit]

Went into town this morning to buy a bra. Got one in the first shop I went to so I decided to have a mooch round the shops afterwards. I could have sworn a few people were looking at me oddly but I put it down to my usual lack of self confidence.

Just got home and whilst changing into my doghair-friendly clothes I spotted that a sticker on the bra hanger had stuck itself onto my top just near my stomach. I've only gone and wandered round town all day with "matching knickers available" proudly displayed upon my person! Ffs is it really too much to expect that someone could have discreetly told me?

You just act with seeming unconcern.

I'm one of those people who is always Loudspeakered for a full bag search at airports and you have to develop a particular sort of smile - 'gentle yet forbidding' would be the best way to describe it - to deal with security staff asking 'So what is this for, then'?

curly it was probably because these days the sticker was somewhere around my kneecaps!

When I was a very self conscious teen in a training bra my Dad weas given some T- Shirts as freebies from work. I was forced to wear a picture of an orange and the bold assertion that 'Small Ones Are More Juicy'.

Friend of mine is a fitness instructor. Ripped his pants. While teaching Bodypump. Doing squats. So had about 50 people staring at his backside when the incident happened. Not wearing underwear.

Several years ago I stopped a woman in the street on the way to our local train station. I intended to tell her that her beautiful dress was on inside out (and very obviously so). I got as far as 'excuse me' before she glowered at me, said 'I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to stop' and strode off. I hope no one else told her for a while!

An acquaintance of mine, once, wore black leather trousers with no underpants and done up by thongs.

Not a woman in the room could keep her mind on the food he was making!

scarednoob top trumps with your sticker placement

Love this thread!

It was the small tufts of gently curling hair coming through between the thongs. (If you remember Brad Pitt playing Achilles in the opening scenes of Troy, you have more of the picture.) See what an indelible impression it's left on me!

His name wasn't Kenny, was it cozie?

Afraid not, MrsTerry. Think of with black leather thonged trousers on and you have the picture.

(Sorry for derailing the thread, OP.)

One very cold day I bought a woolly beanie- type hat and wore it straight away as it was freezing. Only when I got home two hours later did I realise I'd been walking around with the hanging tag poking out the top. I must have looked like that Teletubby

PS - sorry about the ad at the start.

Oh op!
I used to work in retail and I did once have to tell someone that they'd still got the price tag stuck to the front of their sunglasses.
She thanked me and then told me that she'd been in three shops previous to mine and no-one had said anything.
We had a colleague that no-one really liked as he had a tendency to "hold court" about things. One day, after sounding off for quite a while in the staffroom he returned to the shop floor with a large smear of mayo on his face. No-one had told him, though that might have been down to the fact we couldn't get a word in.

You have to acknowledge that the OP did actually find out about her sticker. When you think that we all might have done and never known about for years?

(Did someone eventually tell Mayoman? )

I once met a new class for their first lesson of the year having to keep close to the white board facing them at all times due to the substantial hole in my trousers sustained while bending into the stock cupboard for their new books and snagging them on a protruding bolt.

I think I got away with it. I inadvertently distracted them from that my mistaking a rather scruffy androgenous 12 year old girl for a boy.

The rest of that year didn't get much better. They were a tough crowd!

(What can I say - it was the effect of that video! )

I've just realised that this is probably karma for back when I had a lovely dog who used to happily let me put stickers on her. "Tap and unwrap" from a Terry's chocolate orange placed on the top of her head was a favourite, as was "Wow only £5!" sometimes found on Tesco clothing. Those tiny little stickers you get on top of Ferrero Rocher also used to make excellent "earrings"

I had the knickers falling off disaster while running to catch a train! I thought I was the only person this ever happened to! Thanks for starting this thread OP!

Oh and I would definitely have told you about the sticker. Years ago, I was about to go to court (barrister) to argue an application brought by the other (nutcase) side to have a regulation declared void on constitutional grounds. I spotted nutcase's barrister just before we were called in by the judge, and told him his trousers were undone. Not just the zipper - EVERYTHING. Zip. Button. Belt. He was half naked! 😀 He'd clearly gone for a crap and somehow, toddler-like, forgot to get dressed.

He was in his 50s by the way.

That smells like an 'accidentally on purpose', Farandole. But that's a whole other thread I guess.

Ugh, I'm no oil painting but he was as wide as he was tall, and really not attractive (I'm using very measured language here) he was butt ugly with no teeth

Even more so, then.

Cozie you are a sick, sick woman 😳. I'm going to have nightmares now (different time zone).

This thread has really cheered up my commute home

I'm loving this thread but I can't feed my three hungry DC because my arms are weak with mirth.
