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?

Bibbity, you have made my day. Whilst I feel sorry for you it's hysterical!

My last day in a job I walked around all day with a rip in my pants, literally my whole arse was hanging out. Worst thing was dh said he thought I knew when he dropped me off In the morning.

Ha I just remembered that a friend of mine once went out in a new dkny halter neck top with built in bra. As they were moving between pubs, a shy colleague whom she found herself walking next to said, "I hear you have a lovely top on tonight."

"Thanks!" my friend said, unzipping her coat to show it off in a sort of ta-da motion. The colleague looked a bit shocked and mumbled something.

As you've probably guessed, when she took her coat off later on, she realised the halter tie had come undone and the top was round her waist....

I have walked round with my top on inside out for about 2 hours before I noticed myself, been in and out of loads of small shops and nobody had said anything!

I have done the long skirt tucked into knickers thing, must have been about 10 years ago, luckily a kind lady told me (after walking through a packed restaurant Blush) I still check constantly if I wear a skirt now

My maternity skirt ( a sort of tube of fabric with extra give at the stomach area) fell down as I walked through a busy dining room full of kids. I only realised when my bum felt cold.

Once managed a whole, disastrous, shame-inducing interview with a hard-faced, impeccably-groomed female interviewer and very intimidating ex-director with my shirt buttons undone. Having flashed my bra for at least 40 minutes I left and glanced down. (I am reasonably large of bosom, rarely wear shirts and never have since.)

Didn't get the job. Rang for feedback and was told that as the position was working mainly with older men that I would "lack credibility" and was "too inappropriately dressed".

Was only 27, was horrible and have been so frightened of interviews since that I woefully underperform and haven't got any job I've applied for since...

Bloody grateful I didn't get that one though!

cozietoesie · 06/04/2016 19:49

Well it may not have ticked quite the right boxes on that occasion but I can think of several interviewing panels that would have hired you on the spot - for a variety of reasons. Grin

Pointlessfan · 06/04/2016 19:58

These are hilarious!
I split my trousers whilst teaching a yr 10 class once. I sat down for the rest of the lesson and then wore my coat for the rest of the day.

GrannyWeatherWaxandtheBees · 06/04/2016 20:01

Oh thank you, cosietosie, that makes me feel better! (Well, smile a bit at least!)

We live overseas and were lucky enough to be invited for dinner at the Ambassador's residence (along with about 20 others)

Towards the end of the evening I stood up from the table, and my trousers promptly fell down to my knees in front of everyone. My DW was mortified.

I like to think I got away with it and that I must be losing weight. DW disagrees on both accounts.

A few years bk when dd was about two, dp was taking a nap and she decided to 'pretty' up his jeans with sparkly princess stickers...a while after he woke up he still hadn't noticed and told me he was going to take dd for a walk down the shop Grin

For some reason he didn't have a very happy look on his face when he got home Hmm I on the other hand was laughing my ass off

CuppaSarah · 06/04/2016 20:16

Sounds like a great chat up line. If I wear single I would definitely get myself a matching knickers available sticker and wink at everyone suitable man that looked my way. Wink all sexy like.

The most embarrassing moment of my life was when my chair collapsed at my ds's school concert. Cue 150 kids, parents and teachers turning round and giggling. Yes, I am rather large but a nut had come out!

Papergirl1968 · 06/04/2016 20:25

Not a wardrobe malfunction, obviously, but mortifying!

cozietoesie · 06/04/2016 20:26

Wonderful book. With the benefit of hindsight! Grin

I do hope you were wearing 'sincere' undergarments a la big computer company!

Let me get this straight, your dh saw you trot off into work with your nethers exposed for everyone to see & thought "fashions are odd", not "she doesn't know about that"

😳

cozietoesie · 06/04/2016 20:32

This is AIBU, Fluffy, and not Relationships. Wink

I once lost my skirt in a village in rural India. I was only wearing a long skirt to fit in, never normally wear them. Cycling to Church in the next village my skirt got tangled in the bike chain and even though I stopped quite quickly I couldn't untangle myself without losing the whole skirt. I huddled next to the bike while a local man untangled me, neither of us able to speak to each other as he didn't speak English and I didn't speak Hindi. My skirt was barely worth saving as it was ripped all the way up, but it was better than walking back through the village in just my knickers. My friends thought it was hilarious when they came back to find me. After that I wore those Indian trouser suits, so much more practical and comfortable.

I was very snappily dressed in my sharpest business attire, just prior to delivering a presentation.

As the delegates were taking their seats, what started to slowly make an appearance through the front of my top but my bra underwire. I tried in vain to shove it down my cleavage but it defiantly thrusted back through my beautiful chiffon top.

I had to duck behind a marketing stand, yank the wire all the way through, and give my presentation with one sadly sagging right tit.

cozietoesie · 06/04/2016 20:35

A few words of advice, Ms.

Don't ever wear scarves!

MamaYoyo · 06/04/2016 20:47

I once rescued the husband of a close friend. We were at graduate school together and I watched him walk into the library with a (fortunately clean) reusable nappy insert velcroed to the back of his jumper.

Outcomesthebunnyofdeath · 06/04/2016 20:49

My friend came out of Matalan with a huge pair of knickers hooked on her back. She saw them in the window as she went into the next shop.

Makes me die with laughter every time she tells the story!

ThreeFrazzledFandangos · 06/04/2016 20:50

Bibbity that happened to me too!

I had on a vest top and a pair of French knickers Blush in Manchester Piccadilly train station!

Luckily i managed to wrestle my then massively oiled stained cream skirt back and put it back on!

I was thinking Papergirl must be a man and how embarrassing, to be flashing a nut!

We were visiting my (conservative Muslim) in laws in dh's home country. We were eating dinner, ds1 (age 4) had wandered off and I was too busy enjoying dinner to worry about why he was so quiet. This was a mistake as he appeared at the door some time later covered in (clean) sanitary towels. He had obviously been going through our bags, found them, peeled the paper off and realised they were sticky and thought he'd make himself look like a snowman!
