This afternoon when I was in the supermarket. I felt something bunched in the right leg of my cords. I shook my leg and saw last night's pants coming out.
I lent on DH and quickly pulled them out and stuffed them in his pocket. I had to explain, he laughed and asked if I had got any on.
Have you ever done anything similar? I was so embarrassed. shock

I remember as a child walking down the station platform on the way to the theatre for a family outing when my grandma's knicker elastic snapped and they fell round her ankles. Cool as a cucumber she stepped out of them, stuffed them into her handbag and carried on.

Metra I have trouble with shoes too! I once turned up at work with one black shoe with a buckle and one navy shoe, different heel heights too, so I don't know how I didn't notice on my way to work. I also went to Tesco one Winter in one brown and one black boot, much to the amusement of the lady getting out of the car next to me.

Many years ago when we were living in our first house I was horrified to find a dead mouse in the bathroom one morning. I caught the bus to work as usual but when I got there a colleague asked why I was wearing one brown leather and one blue suede shoe! I had no option but to wear them all day raising quite a few eyebrows.

I’m a bit puzzled how knickers fall down when wearing trousers 🤷🏼‍♀️

They don't fall down they fall out of trousers. grin

That's what happened to me! 🤣

I gave up wearing elasticates skirts when my first child started walking and uses my skirt as a handrail, I felt it descending fortunately it happened at home

I have owned Burmese cats in the past one particular was a knicker nicker, she worked out how to open the lower draw and would help herself, so i moved them to the top drawer, silly me this is a Burmese cat I am talking about, she would jump on the dresser and prise open the drawer just enough, there would be a trail of underwear going down the stairs.

Yes exactly the same but I was sat in front of Gp talking about something and also saw this lump in my trousers just about to fall out. I somehow managed to get outside and pull them out. Hilarious

My elderly grandfather was waiting at the bar in the Catholic Club when his trousers fell to his ankles. He didn't even notice. My brother in law ran over and pulled them back into place. Paddy was wearing his striped pyjamas underneath and was oblivious to the draught. 😁

Once , when I was at work ( I am a GP ) I was wearing trousers.
Half way through the day one of my senior colleagues noticed something dangling out of the right leg of my trousers.
It had obviously been there all morning!
I pulled ....and pulled .....and pulled.
Slowly ,oh so slowly, before my embarrassed eyes and those of colleagues, a pair of yesterday's tights appeared. They stretched as I pulled eventually popping out ,leaving me with them swinging in my hand !
I swiftly rolled them up and walked off to my surgery, head held high !!!
For those of you who are wondering why I was wearing tights under trousers at all ,it was an extremely cold winter that year. !

Not happened to me but v v funny. My knickers ended up attached to my husband’s referee top when he went to put it on in a changing room full of men. He was rather embarrassed as it was a lacy thong

Haven’t had that happen but I used to work for a calendar company and I had been making the Christmas calendars sprinkling coloured glitter all over them, I went one afternoon to have a smear and you guessed it the nurse laughed when she found pieces of glitter don’t ask me how it got there

Anniel Wed 08-Nov-23 13:45:04

So embarrassing. I knocked on the door of one the tenants on my patch to discuss repairs and suddenly yesterdays knickers fell out of the leg of my jeans just as the tenant opened the door. I still feel agog at what happened all those years ago.

Spiritual Wed 08-Nov-23 13:34:39

Yes that happened to me when I was 16 a nd visiting my boyfriends family for first time. We were in Kings Cross Station and I did a quick step out and stuffed them in my handbag. I was mortified. Itwas in the days before tights.

I really need supervising before I go out of the house

Me too, GrowingOldDisgracefully. As my DGS said when I was complaining that I’d not spotted my favourite dish on a buffet, Didn’t you have a grown up to help you, Nanna?.

Stewpot100 Wed 08-Nov-23 13:20:40

Long time ago but yes!! Quickly whipped into pocket grin

Many years ago when I was small me and my DGM were walking to my DA, her DD. It was rather a long walk along a disused railway track about a mile and a half. My DGM was suddenly caught short and needed a wee. She managed to hold it in until we were just outside their back gate. She just stood there and let it flow.
She instantly whipped her undies off, wrung them out and put them in her handbag.
She looked at me and said “don’t tell.”
Well as soon as we got inside it was too much for me and to her embarrassment I blurted out “ Nana peed her knickers”.
Well it all turned out ok as my DA washed them and they were just about dry by the time we left.
This was over 60 years ago but I still remember it vividly to this day.

Twice my knickers have fallen from my trousers whilst playing table tennis. I wondered what on earth I was treading on.I quickly put them in my pocket, if my partner saw he never mentioned it. I think they must have got caught up in the tumble dryer!

ruthiek Wed 08-Nov-23 12:44:12

Was asked at work what I had done to my leg? as I looked down under my black tights just below the knee were my knickers from the night before 🫣

grandtanteJE65 Wed 08-Nov-23 12:30:38

Never had underpants adrift, but those wretched stockings that were supposed to stay up without suspenders!

Did they heck!

I tried them once or twice before giving them up at a bad job.

More embarrassingly, I once had a sanitary towel of the kind that had thin (supposedly non slip) foam rubber backing, come adrift and work its way sideways out of my underpants and onto the floor!

As32 Wed 08-Nov-23 12:30:33

I've had knickers work their way out of my jeans leg in the supermarket, quickly bent down and stuffed them in my pocket!
When I was about 20, I'd stayed over at boyfriends house after a night out (separate bed in spare room in them days)
That evening while boyfriend was in the lounge with his family, their dog a little cavalier spaniel, was behind the TV chewing something, extracted from its jaws, was a pair of my (worn) lace knickers
When boyfriend told me I was mortified, so embarrassed when I next went to his house

Thank you ladies, having a good laugh today. My waist petticoat fell down once as I walked across a car park near home but I stepped out of it quickly and stuffed it in my bag. When I was age 10 in a school play, I had to dance and my trousers split when I was in mid air in front of the whole audience. I was mortified.

SachaMac Wed 08-Nov-23 12:17:49

When I was young and working in a bank I had the embarrassment of last nights knickers making their way down my trouser leg!! I’d overlay and just put on the trousers I’d been out in the night before on. The knickers were bright blue and I was stood serving a customer with large bags of change at the time. I had to discreetly pick them up and make my way to the staff room & put them in my bag. It was only a small branch too so pretty obvious when I left the counter, I never told anyone what had happened at the time as I was so embarrassed. It wouldn’t have happened at the branch I worked at previously as the manager wouldn’t allow us girls to wear trousers!

razzmatazz Wed 08-Nov-23 12:15:09

Not me but my husband's trousers fell round his ankles in the supermarket. The family laughed for weeks when he told them.
