To just leave this training now and die of shame?

[arghhelpsoembarrassed]

I'm on a work training event. It's casual dress so I'm wearing black leggings. Anyway... just gone to the loo on lunch break and discovered that I've been walking around this morning and in the canteen area with a hole in the bum of my leggings! Not a tiny hole either - it's sort of medium ish. Very obvious. I feel utterly ashamed and to think of how many people this morning have caught a glimpse of my arse and not told me!? I've turned my leggings around in the loos as I can sort of cover the hole at the front but oh my god. I want to die of shame. Do I style this out or just walk out and go home now? 🫣

So would I. It's hardly the end of the world.

Lesson learned long top with leggings avoids see through embarrassment too.. the times I've seen women's knickers or non knickers through black leggings that looked okay inside.

A good reason never to wear leggings as a sole outer garment. Alternatively, go for flesh coloured leggings next time, the kind of colour that makes you look naked, any holes etc will be invisible.

The wife of my university professor (she was a well known novelist in her own right) once walked round a function for an hour with her dress tucked into her tights at the back before anyone said anything. None of us students dared to.

Honestly OP I've walked around with my dress/skirt tucked into my knickers so many times. Once past a carful of AA men who started shouting and beeping at me (I was wearing 15 denier tights and a thong. Luckily a nice lady told me). Style it out and laugh - it's just a little patch of skin!

I reached to pick something up and my skirt fell down to the top of my legs!

I did something similar at work while wearing a hipster maxi skirt. I stood on the front of it climbing the stairs (which are in a glass box) and it pulled down so far that it fell around my ankles. Luckily, the only person that saw me was my husband who nearly wet himself laughing.

I once saw a woman on a camping site coming out from the loo, and she was walking downhill where her family was waiting for her. Toilet paper (obviously a roll) was stuck to her skirt, and it looked a bit like the scene from Priscilla Queen of the desert.. Her family were pissing themselves laughing watching her walk but didn’t say anything, I couldn’t help yelling to her and point to her behind. I was just glad it wasn’t me.

Why are you wearing leggings with nothing covering your butt? Not even a skirt? It’s very strange.

In 2010 leggings started coming out in my city and I remember standing behind a woman who wore leggings with a cropped jumper.... except the leggings were more light tights and they were see through around her butt and thighs. You could see absolutely everything.

Sorry OP, these kind of posts remind me why I always tell someone if something is off, even if it sometimes gets me grief.

Style it out!

I pulled on a pair of cheap, 3/4 length trousers with no underwear to run to Morrisons for hangover supplies. Unbeknownst to me, the zip at the front had come apart but was still attached at the top, so I had a gaping, vulva-shaped hole that perfectly framed the top of my actual vulva. I didn't even realise until the security guard (loudly) pointed it out.

Tempting 😂

I'd say the hole was about quarter the size of a postage stamp...

If it makes you feel any better OP, I was once informed by the man behind me in the queue for the waterside at Centre Parcs, that my swimming cozzie had a huge, and I mean HUGE, hole in the arse.
It was level with his face as we were queueing on steps.
I have no idea how long I had been gallivanting around on poolside with most of my arse on show.

The training has a physical / practical element, without giving away my job. Hence why we were asked to wear casual / gym type attire. I couldn't find my gym leggings this morning so just threw on normal black leggings. Which I now bitterly regret obviously!

Omg 😂
This has made me feel so much better, thank you for sharing this

It's highly likely nobody has noticed.

It's only a bit of arse and I'm sure you've got a lovely arse! Just think of Judy Finnigan, she's still living in the UK and what happened to her was far worse!!

Eeh..that’s tiny. Noone would have cared.

Any shops nearby to buy a new pair?

Colour in black pen if not!

Other people never remember this stuff. It sounds like the hole is pretty small.

I thought the cardinal rule with leggings was the top should always cover the bum?

quarter of a postage stamp?! Miniscule. Nobody will have seen it or cared.

Guy I worked with once split his trousers as he and our boss were heading off to do a presentation to a very senior team.

He had to wear his coat throughout 😁 and she did most of the presentation instead.

Oh Bernadette. You are clearly not a Youth

Leggings with a top that doesn't cover your bum is a bit more 'casual' that I would wear for work or even for hanging around the house, it's just not a good look no matter how good your figure.

On the plus side, you may have enlivened a possibly boring training event for some people. I wouldn't give it too much headspace, such things are no more than a 5 second wonder for most people.

Do you mean one of the big new postage stamps with the QR code?
