To think someone could have bloody told told me!

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?

I once went swimming and put my costume on over my bra. Luckily it was abroad.
Worse, I once dotted foundation over my face and got distracted before I could blend it in. Happily did school run without ANYONE telling me.

Stanky - Bravissimo (the big boob bra boutique) sell shirts. I've not got any but friends have and their boobs never make surprise appearances any more.

Woobedoo

This one is for you. It is probably the best example from the internet of sanitary towel art ever. Taking them off must have been painful though.

MissHooliesclassmonitor · 07/04/2016 12:59

Im with you here with no-one telling you about things. I was at a play thing this week and got up to check on the dcs, smoothed down my cardigan at the back to find i had what looked like a sanitary towel stuck to the back of me. It was in fact an oblong cushion thing from the bottom of a handbag with velcro bits at the ends, but the appearance was exactly like a towel. I'd been walking around for a while with it.
tried to act casually whilst walking back to my seat in front of the other mums....

BoffinMum · 07/04/2016 13:01

I need to share as well, don't I?
I wear a lot of stick on heat patches to help with my various joint problems and pain management issues. One day a patch came unstuck as I was walking through Bloomsbury. It inched its way down my trouser leg, out the bottom, and then attached itself firmly to the pavement where it stuck on for grim life, looking for all the world just like a liberated pantyliner.
I walked on innocently and pretended it had nothing to do with me.

I used to wear hold-ups (hah! Misnomer if ever there was one) to work. First day at a new job, site secretary on a building site, new boss (quite attractive bloke) briefing me on various tasks... And I feel one of them come loose and start to descend.... Fortunately I was wearing a fairly long skirt so I don't think you could tell...

Then there was the time I realised I was wearing one matt stocking and one glossy one...

I started wearing trousers after that!

"Dh once went shopping with a pair of my knickers stuck to his fleece."

I originally read that as face!

cozie - you were ALL dressing as French maids for work?! Are you able to tell us what kind of company it was?

StuffEverywhere · 07/04/2016 14:01

Thanks OP, I'm in tears

ShyCharles · 07/04/2016 15:16

Many years ago when sanitary towels were enormous my Mum had a job interview. It was only when she left she realised that her zip at the back of her skirt had come undone and the sanitary towel had worked itself backwards and was sticking out the back of her skirt.

I wore a pair of jeans once and unbeknownst to me had left the screwed up pair of pants I was wearing with the jeans the day before inside them. At some point during the day, the pants worked their way down the leg of the jeans and emerged on my foot. No-one noticed me quickly retrieve them and stuff them in a pocket, but it was a close enough thing to make me break out in a cold sweat.

Thanks for the laugh. Both the OP and the poster who wore a bra under a sheer shirt with a 'touch me' sticker.

Oh God, I've just remembered my interview one I swear I manage to forget about it for weeks on end then something - like this thread - reminds me again.

I had an interview for a job I really wanted. We're talking dream job. It was the chance to turn my favourite hobby into my career. Everything had to be perfect. It was in another part of the country to where I was living at the time so I stayed in a Travelodge overnight so that I wouldn't be late. (That's how much I wanted it - I was prepared to relocate.) Part of the brief was to demonstrate "in-depth knowledge of the industry" so I planned to take along a folder I'd been putting together for some time of industry articles about key issues etc.

The interview was conducted by the man who would be my line manager and his (male) boss. It was going pretty well so far as I could tell, then the questions about demonstrating experience began. I opened my folder with a flourish, spun it round to show the interviews...and the knickers I'd been wearing the day before fell out onto the table

NorbertDentressangle · 07/04/2016 18:25

Damn the mid-noughties dip dyed gypsy skirt!

Also the late 80s/early 90s hippy style really long skirts.

On more than one occasion I managed to step on the front hem of a skirt whilst walking up steps and not realised and kept on walking - the result is the elasticated waistband at the front gets pulled down exposing your stomach and pants and you end up walking in a weird increasingly stooped manner (like Mr Bean or some other crazy cartoon character) as the elastic stretches and the fabric at the front disappears under your feet.

iMogster · 07/04/2016 18:52

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's had yesterday's pants fall out of the hem of my trousers!

Notonthestairs · 07/04/2016 19:10

Driving test. Buttoned up dress. At some point I can only think the seat belt caught on a button because when I got out of the car I realised my dress was open from neck to my knickers. And I had failed the test.

I also travelled from Liverpool Street Station to Holborn with my skirt tucked in to my knickers (that's god knows how many escalaters and walking between tube platforms).

And I once had to stand up at a formal dinner to give a speech and some awards. My ankle felt a bit odd/warm. My hold up had not done its job and was sitting around my ankles like a wrinkled welly.

Xocaraic · 07/04/2016 19:11

I feel for you. I was working in a tourist shop to get me through uni, went out to a greasy spoon at breaktime to get a fried egg sandwich ( hungover-it was my cure). My uniform (kilt and niiiice white blouse) skirt got caught in the bumper of a car, which kept moving and my kilt was ripped off and I stood there, opposite a busy bus stop in my pants and a short white blouse. Driver was mortified too and passing gent gave me his jacket. All I remember is the lady in the window of the café making the 'O' shape with her mouth and that is when I went bright red!

OhSoggyBiscuit · 07/04/2016 19:12

I once managed to go from my house, on the train up to London, on the District Line up to Wimbledon and up to about lunchtime until I realised I was wearing two odd shoes- one trainer, one croc

The Mickey was taken out of me once I realised.

DrivingMissLazy1 · 07/04/2016 19:21

I once told a mum on the school pick up that she still had a roller in her hair. She'd been out and about all day and no one had told her

MammaBean1988 · 07/04/2016 19:22

Epic. Most probably thought you were making a daring fashion statement!

Miffy1979 · 07/04/2016 19:32

I had my wedding garter thing fall off en - route to the wedding.. had to step out of the bloody thing, and scoop it up.. this was outside Edinburgh Castle so not exactly quiet, and with a piper following us then my SIL-to be (who was pissing herself laughing) got her high heel stuck in the drawbridge. We must've looked a fair sight!

stopfaffing · 07/04/2016 19:51

What a fab thread, so enjoying it, lots of giggling .

Mine is very tame in comparison but d'you know those long stickers you get on trousers, about a foot long down the leg with the size repeated several times. Well, I'd bought a pair the day before and decided to wear them for work the next morning. Put them on and went to work (a school). It was some time before a kind colleague pointed it out to me, the size 20 sticker stuck all down one leg . I comforted myself with the thought that probably people thought I was a 24 .

dragonflygirl1 · 07/04/2016 19:57

I have had too many wardrobe malfunctions to mention them all, but have twice COMPLETELY fallen out of my clothes, to my waist! Once I was laughing and chasing my giggling daughter, then fell over onto tarmac and my clothes stopped moving but my body kept going! Another time, I was slightly tiddly and riding my bike in quite a busy place. I hit a bump and went sailing over the handlebars, with my feet all caught up in the bike. I was quite bashed up and pouring with blood from my face and this man came running across the road to help me. As he got closer I looked down to see my top and strapless bra were both around my waist!
