I had a very light work schedule today in comparison to yesterday. In fact, my schedule was non-existent. I had no one to meet with so I was dressed in my jeans and had on my favorite hooded sweatshirt. I wanted to be comfortable. And since I had some free time, I went outside for awhile to take a break.
I was standing there in the courtyard area and this woman who works across the way from me in another office, came outside. She was having a smoke break and she dropped her lighter on the ground. Being the polite person I am, I reached down and picked it up for her. She started giggling a little when I did that, but she thanked me. But she was staring at me a little funny with an amused expression on her face. I had no idea why.
Then she tells me that I had something stuck in the hood of my jacket. I was thinking, "great...a fabric softener sheet...." I remember one time I walked around all day with a thing of Bounce inside my pant leg and had no idea until it finally worked it's way out and fell on the ground. And once I even had a sock in my pocket too.
But I reached back there and pulled out the mystery item and it ended up being a pair of pink panties! Talk about embarrassing. Either I looked like a totally awesome stud to this woman, or a complete moron. I'd been walking around all morning with underpants sitting on the back of my neck!
I had no idea what to do except laugh my ass off. And she couldn't help herself either and said she hoped I knew who those panties belonged to. I assured her that they were my wife's and I put the laundry away, which I clearly suck at. I need to check these things better!
But then I didn't know what to do with them. For a few minutes I was standing there laughing and chatting with this strange woman while holding a pair of lacy pink underpants in my hand. And when I realized that, I just shoved them in my pocket. What else could I do?
So I walked around all day at work with panties in my pocket. I suppose that could have been a really sexy gesture if Nat had actually stuck them in my pocket and asked me to think of her. But I don't think she stuck her panties in the hood of my jacket on purpose. I'm pretty sure the dryer did that for me.
She was pretty surprised when I showed up at home and handed over her underwear when I walked in the door. But once she heard the story, she couldn't stop laughing either. But she was happy to see the underpants because I guess they were a favorite pair and she wondered where they ran off too. Apparently they wanted to go to work with me.
So yeah, that was my embarrassing moment #5007. I'm not actually keeping count, but that's probably a really close estimate. Every time I turn around something ridiculous is happening to me. But it makes life entertaining at least. And I'm sure the next time I see that woman around the building, she'll always remember me as the guy with the pink underpants stuck to his clothes.....
*sigh*

That was priceless. I wish I could have seen that. I would have died laughing too. I think the best part was when you were actually standing there talking to her with panties in your hand.Were you waving them around and gesturing wildly like you tend to do? I'm just going to pretend you were even if you weren't. It's funnier that way.You're right. The most ridiculous things happen to you all the time. But I guess they have to happen to somebody right? -

You really do get some of the most humorous and random happenings over there!

Oh that is AWESOME! SO funny!
I was thinking of you guys last night when we went on "The Haunted Mansion" at Disney World. It was when the door knockers were hitting the door over and over by a ghost! I came here to write you when I got home, and once I finished the damn message, submitted, I lost my wireless connection. WTF! :)

evil twin , always look at the bright side it could have been your son's jock strap. -
Actorguy said on Apr 03, 2008....
OMG that's hilarious! My wife once went to the grocery store with a sock stuck to her back. My comment was: Just thank God it wasn't a pair of underpants! Bwahaha! -
evil_twin said on Apr 03, 2008....
Mr. Box--No, I was not waving them around in the air! They were just bunched up in my hand. But still! It was definitely an interesting moment in my life....one of many!
Infernal--I suppose I should put warnings on some of my posts. Not suitable to read with sleeping children around!
pickers--It was!
alls--It was really funny, even if I was embarrassed!
Lucy--I really liked your comebacks! Especially the one where you said your husband usually takes the underwear off his head when he leaves home. I would have been cracking up if she said that!
Daily--I hope you're having fun on your trip! I'm sorry you lost your message though. That sucks! I always copy everything before I send it just in case something happens. I hate that frustration.
queen--Glad you liked it.
Cayenne--I don't have a son, but finding a jock strap in my hood would have been much more embarrassing!
Actorguy--She had a sock stuck to her back? That's so funny. At least these underpants weren't actually stuck to my back. But in the hood was bad enough!

Bwa ha ha ha!!!You really do suck at laundry folding if you didn't notice the panties. It could have been worse. You could have had "mystery panties" from washing in a public laundromat stuck in your hoodie and Nat could have found them for you.I do agree there's not much conversation left after you've been caught with pink panties in your clothing. -
vacantmind said on Apr 03, 2008....
Bwa ha ha ha!!! I'm laughing with you! Really! Maybe, Nat should frisk you in the morning, just a quick panty check. -

That was funny...... I once pulled a panty from the sleeves of a fabric jacket that I had put on but kept feeling something bulky inside the sleeve.:^)Rc -

Priceless, absolutely priceless ha ha!It did reminded me of a tale my older sister told me some years back (about 23). After losing mum, dad pretty much raised us kids, 15 and 12, on his own - he did his best bless him. Laundry - now that was not his strong point to put it politely. We helped with chores but one day he did laundry. Many months before a hospital appointment he had, he'd put my new red Fonz tee-shirt in with all the whites and smalls. Baby pink tableclothes, baby pink bras and pants etc. etc.Dad behind curtain in cubicle at hospital. Dad strips to underpants behind curtain and lays on couch. Nurses and Consultant enter cubicle. Nurse and Consultant look at Dad lying there in baby pink underpants. Nurse looks at Dad then looks at Consultant, Consultant looks at Dad, dad looks at them both, looks at his baby pink underpants then back up at his audience, then looked away. Audience begin to do their checks and the moment is then lost to explain. You know how it is when the longer the seconds tick by the harder it becomes to say anything in your defence? So, Dad left that hospital leaving a Nurse and a Consultant with the belief that this 6 foot, 50 odd year old man's man likes wearing baby pink underpants. My sister at the time, waiting outside, had no idea why she was looked at with restrained smiles by the medical staff :-) -

Oh, e_t that is simply a priceless moment. I laughed even harder at the point where you said you stood there talking with the pink panties still in your hand until you realized you were standing there talking with panties in your hand! -
Trinov said on Apr 03, 2008....
Hi, when wierd embarrassing things happen I just put on a deadpan face and pretend that there is nothing strange happening and give an intimidating stare and that ususally works. People know that we are a bit strange anyway, and my husband looks tough. Then we can crack up about it privately at our leisure. -
Mamie said on Apr 03, 2008....
hysterical! Thanks for the laugh!! Natalie, keep tabs on your undies, girl! ET is twisted!! -
wombat said on Apr 03, 2008....
You're cracking me up, Sam...as they say... I love reading your funny life stories! I had a "similiar" experience once, but is pretty much too bad to tell....something sticky (but clean) stuck to the bottom of my purse when I went to work one morning. Use your imagination, I guess...what has sticky tape?Hey, please tell "nursecutie" I said hello! -
Lucytorial said on Apr 03, 2008....
ET ~ it just reminded me of my husband putting one of my bras on his head and then a pair of nickers over that... he looked like a 6 yr old playing pilots! shame she didn't have the guts to say it huh! -
evil_twin said on Apr 03, 2008....
Uniquely--Obviously I don't pay enough attention when I'm in charge of laundry day! I would have been in some serious trouble if I had mystery panties stuck to my clothes....I'm really glad we don't use a laundromat!
vacant--She really should check my clothes before I walk out the door huh? I can't even get dressed by myself anymore!
diabolic--I'm glad you thought it was funny :-)
RollingC--I've had socks and stuff inside my clothes, but the panties were a new one for me!
pusscat--That's a funny story! It would be pretty embarrassing to be caught wearing pink underpants like that. I used to have a lot of pink socks because I messed up my laundry just like that once!
zayda--The whole thing was hilarious, but it really was funny when I noticed they were still in my hand while I chatted to this strange woman!
trinov--I'm no good at being deadpan. I laugh too much. I just can't help it.
Mamie--I'm glad you got a laugh!
wombat--I think I know what you mean about your story, and that's really funny! That would be super embarrassing. I'm glad I didn't have one of those stuck to my clothes....
Lucy--Your husband sounds hilarious. Either that, or really bored to put your underwear on his head!

Lucytorial said on Apr 03, 2008....
I think he likes the smell... tee he hee just kidding, yeh he's a bit loopy sometimes... it comes with the territory of living with me. -
wombat said on Apr 03, 2008....
evil twin: Thank goodness it had "wings." Ha -
evil_twin said on Apr 03, 2008....
Lucy--Loopy people are fun. I'm not exactly opposed to putting some underwear on my head if I thought it would make Nat laugh!
wombat--You crack me up! :-P

dude, that's frigging hilarious! i knew your natural good humor would win out on this, though--you have an effervescent sense of humor, i've always felt. :>

evil_twin said on Apr 05, 2008....
silver--Well thank you :-) I'm glad you enjoy my sense of humor. I like to laugh and make other people laugh too. And I've said if you can't laugh at yourself, then something is wrong! -

That was hilarious. ..."I assured her that they were my wife's and I put the laundry away, which I clearly suck at." HAHAHA!
