To just leave this training now and die of shame?

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? 🫣

How mortifying, I bet no one cared though op.
I once tripped on the railway crossing and my shoe come off, then the barriers came down before I could retrieve said shoe. Imagine the embarrassment watching the train come past and decimate my shoe, I shamefully picked it up once the barriers went back up and hobbled off back to work with one shoe on. The shame 😂

So how was the training for people with disabilities? Or were they excluded?

I assume OP you are now back home and relieved.

Unclutch your pearls @SchoolTripDrama

OP has already confirmed it was a gym setting for the training and they were asked to attend in gym clothes.

Eh?????

Were you there to see people with disabilities actively excluded? Do you work with the OP to know there were people with disabilities actively excluded? Do you have anything at all on which to base this comment or are you just being goady for the sake of it?

I don't understand all the "oh god no, leggings with a long top only!" You're all showing your middle aged-ness.

I like this look. If I were young and slim I'd probably wear it myself. But alas I am old and fat so I'll just admire it on the young thangs Grin

This is what marker pens are for. Colour in your bumper through the hole for now. I'd guess everyone's seen it now. My bottom popped off during an interview just as I concluded and stood up to shake hands. Pinged right off onto the desk. I owned it.
Got the job!

I agree turn your tights/leggings. Say at first opportunity that perhaps someone could have informed you - say with a smile.
Perhaps not a great choice wearing tights leggings in a work situation.

Definitely style it out! Make a joke of it, you'll find it hilarious eventually. I understand why you'd be mortified though, I hope you at least had nice knickers on not period pants x

exaltedwombat · 16/02/2023 18:15

Everyone else 'styled it out' just fine. So can you. Or, more likely, no-one noticed/cared.

Her coat covers her bum though

Watchamocauli · 16/02/2023 18:48

If this makes you feel any better....

BC (before Covid) I was leading a workshop wearing nice trousers with a thin belt. Top tucked in. In break went to the loo then took a call and hurried back.

I walked in front of the class talk for a bit and then sit down only to notice belt undone!!

Completely open no wonder people stared at my tummy.

Had to do the belt discretely but then no choice carried on for rest of two days 🙈

you could cover it up with a post it note and write 'if you can read this I'm calling HR' in very small letters on it.

😂😂😂😂😂 This has given me the best laugh of the day

Myli1 · 16/02/2023 19:32

I really wouldn’t stress over it - when all’s said and done it’s just a human body, we’ve all got one!

Littlepicker · 16/02/2023 19:35

Not the same level of embarrassment but I went to work with a big hole in my black tights, i got a black sharpie and coloured in the patch of leg that was on show 😂

Has anybody seen that psychology short film of "man in gorilla suit" you basically are told to check how many times a red or blue ball was tossed or something like that, this distracts you and when the film is finished the tutor asked you if anyone saw the gorilla. No one did. When the film started it was so obvious....people may well have been concentrating on the course so hopefully your exposure was not noticed....

Angrywife · 16/02/2023 20:16

Leggings should never be worn with a top that doesn't cover your arse, unless in the gym.
Lesson learnt 😆

Jack80 · 16/02/2023 20:17

FurAndFeathers · 15/02/2023 13:13

One of many reasons why thin leggings are entirely unsuitable work wear as a stand-alone garment.

no one wants to see your arse cheeks, camel toe or the fabric of your knickers ever time you bend over and they stretch out

Just wear trousers or a dress/skirt over them

What a nasty comment @FurAndFeathers

Jack80 · 16/02/2023 20:18

I would see if I could buy something if not then turn them around like you said. x

Justbefair · 16/02/2023 20:25

Sorry but this is so funny and has happened to be before, also top inside out! I would just say loudly with friends 'no holes today'. Also, in this self obsessed world and everyone being glued to phones, could be no one really noticed? If they did, gair enough, we all make mistakes but the fact no one has let u know can be taken as a positive! Just take it as a lesson learnt and a fun story to tell, in a year's time it will just be that. X

retirementrocks · 16/02/2023 20:29

Longer tops a good idea perhaps? Hide lots of things!

Boysnana · 16/02/2023 21:15

Shouldn't laugh. But I am. Sorry. I would flounce in and say well thanks a lot you guys. Bloody one told me I had my arse hanging out all morning. Then laugh and laugh and laugh. Xx

NannaKaren · 16/02/2023 22:18

Aww don’t worry - but awful no one told you !
note to self - big black knickers under new leggings next time !
