You mean I've been walking around like this all day? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I cycle to work every morning since it's only a couple of miles and I could do with the exercise now I don't play soccer anymore.
Anyway, because I'm such a cool dude and wear baggy trousers most of the time (no dress code in the office) I need to wear bicycle clips to stop my trousers from becoming lodged in the gears of my bike. Now my mask of dude-ness is beginning to slip .
I thought I had lost one of them today when I got to work this morning and found that only one of them was still on. However, I bent down to scratch my leg just now and found that it just come a bit loose and was still there - in plain sight to most people as I walked around the office. I would have looked such a ****.

I know that was a boring story, but I'm simply using it as an excuse to start this thread about similar "Oh god, I must have been like this all day!" experiences that you may have had.
The classic one for women is leaving the changing room of a clothes store with their skirt tucked into their tights at the back. Seen that a couple of times. Once I even managed to stop laughing long enough to tell the poor women.

Anything like this, preferably funnier than mine, ever happen to you?

I showed up to work with my sweater on backwards one morning. A friend at the office pointed that out right away, though, so almost nobody saw it.

Boring too, sorry.

I once went into work in a suit and tie, only to find that it was a casual dress code Friday. At least it wasn't the other way around.

I showed up for the first day of my current job in a suit and tie, just like my recruiter told me to. When I showed up in the area I was to work in, the manager came over and dog cussed me for not wearing business casual. He probably yelled at me for a solid five minutes then when he was through I got yelled at and ridiculed by his underling THEN I got yelled at by my recruiter for not ignoring his sage advice to wear a suit.

A fantastic way to start a new job!

"You mean I've Been Walking Around Like This All Day?"

I have some terrible news and some wonderful news for you.

The bad- As the years go by, your question will flash on you with greater frquency.

The good- You'll forget your question a few moments later and it won't bother you much.

My ex used to put her hair clips in my hair. One day, when I went to dinner in the cafeteria, I had forgotten that one was in there.

Once I used a pen (the thicker ones that write on anything) to draw some whiskers and a tear on my GF's face while she was taking a nap. When she woke she was feeling hungry and went to the bakkery without checking the mirror (for once ).

I had forgotten about and since it was a sunday, not many people noticed it. Still I laughed more at it then my GF did , and no sex either that evening

Purchased a pair of jeans at the GAP one Saturday afternoon because none of mine were clean and I couldn't be arsed to do laundry at the time.

At a trendy gay bar, I get a tap on the shoulder from the bar boy. Points to my thigh, where I see the clear plastic sticker that denotes the jean size, running down the side.

Oopsie!

Almost the exact same thing happened to me. I'd bought a shirt right before going, forgot to take off the little mostly-transparant "S" sticker which is basically positioned over the left nipple.

So at the club this boy walks up to me, with a goofy grin on his face, slowly puts his right hand up to my left nipple and peals the sticker off. Of course, while he's doing that, I'm thinking "that's one helluva way to greet someone!!", because I thought he was trying to play with my nipple. Man, I was so embarrassed.

He just laughed, bit his lip, went back over to the side.

It is a sacred rule of gay bars that the bartenders and bar boys/girls are strictly off-limits. I wouldn't want to be pestered while doing my job, neither do they.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Oh, and one of opera's legendary tales:

The great bass-baritone Hans Hotter was performing the role of Wotan in Wagner's Ring at Bayreuth (the grand-daddy of all Wagner festivals). Relaxing in his dressing room, he was called late for going on stage. Racing down to the stage, he snatched the large fur coat he was supposed to wear, threw it on and entered right on time.

However, he was greated with seemingly inexplicable snickering from the audience. Was he actually early or late, and those who knew he wasn't supposed to be there were laughing? No, he was right on cue... but the snickering grew into rather noticeable laughter.

One of Hotter's colleagues made slight head motions to Hotter's back. Hotter looked up, and then saw that in his haste, he had not only grabbed his coat, but the coat hanger on which it was hanging, which was now sticking up from the collar of the coat.

To make matters worse, it was a fluffy, pink coat hanger.

Well, Hotter would not let himself be perturbed, and launched into singing Wotan with gusto. By the time he was done, the audience was probably convinced that Wotan sans pink, fluffy coat hanger is no Wotan at all.
