No clothes failures, but one of our Burmese cats was a knicker nicker. She would take them off the clothes horse and bring them to you. Fortunately always clean ones, but embarrassing when she presented visitors with knickers. I think we made a mistake by thanking her when she first did it.

I have done that more than once. I also once went to a job interview wearing hold-ups and one of them failed. I had waddle to the loo holding the errant one up with my hand on my thigh then remove both and stuff them in my pocket.

as a 3 year old back in the 60s my gran dressed me in frilly dresses and knickers to go out, forgetting i no longer had a nappy i would take them off, when i bent over my gran would shout, another bloody full moon.
back in the early 80s i wore stockings and suspenders with thigh high split skirts, (i was 19) rushing that morning i put on the pants that tied at the sides, as i boarded the bus they came loose, i pulled them from the split in my skirt and paid my fare still holding them (sexy black with white frills) after that i got a big smile and hello darling from the bus driver every morning.

Not knickers but an underskirt fell down whilst shopping. I just stepped out of it bent down and picked it up.

Before we had children and both worked, I had a longer commute than DH so would get up, get dressed and leave before he was awake. I had to do some things in the dark. The worst that happened was that one day I got to the office and discovered I had put on navy tights with a black skirt.

No knicker stories but I had a very prim aunt, who had been widowed since the war. She came with us on holiday to France. I went shopping with her to a local market and, as we were waiting to cross the road, the elastic in her slip gave and the pink nylon slithered to the ground. She stepped out of it and picked it up, with lots of other people standing around us. She went bright red and was so flustered. She was in a frightful state. I was 10 at the time and couldn't understand the fuss.

Glad I'm not the only one.
What I didn't confess was that I had shown myself up in the same shop the week before.
I thought DH was standing behind me and turned with something and asked "What do you think of this?"Only to see another elderly man. I apologised and said I thought he was my husband. He laughed and replied, "Unfortunately not my dear". I scurried and found DH in the wine section as usual.
I think I'll be banned from going next week.
I also as a child had my knickers round my ankles in Chatsworth house, the elastic snapped.smile

That is why I never take off my pants with my trousers.

I do remember, in the days of 'roll on' suspender belts, that I found one bunched up around my waist and another supporting my stockings. That was in the days before tights were a 'thing'.

I had my pants fall down in a busy shopping centre a few years back - was wearing a skirt, no tights. The elastic must have become loose in the pants and they just slid down round my ankles!!
I kind of "scuttled" to the side of the precinct and whipped them off with as much speed as I could muster and then hurried home.

It happened to me in a rather naice antique shop. The knickers had worked their way almost to my socks. I removed them as discretely as possible but with DH drawing attention to me, it wasn't easy

Another time I was leaving the ladies at the interval in a concert and a woman tapped me on the shoulder to tell me my dress was tucked into my knickers at the back. Thankyou kind lady. blush

Only once, in the doctor's waiting room.

Haven't had any knickers fall down . But when I saw an urologist 2 years ago went in trousers did realise I would need an internal. It was all very quick and I never get embarrassed. This may sound crass but I was widowed in 2004 aged 45 . Never wanted another man my husband was my own and only . Nice suprise I hadn't sealed over from lack of use 🤣. I wore bright red pants that day and always wore a panty liner . I wear tights under my trousers as I can't wear socks. It wasn't until I got home and went to the loo I had put my pants on inside out and the panty liner was next to my tights 😱. I was to busy talking to the nurse to concentrate on what I was doing. But you would think I would notice something was missing when I pulled my knickers on especially as they were bright red. 🤦

I was at the gym once with my daughter,she whispered “eugh someone has left their dirty knickers over there on the floor”! Yes they were mine!

😂 have to laugh but how embarrassing for you.Never happened to me but can only be a matter of time.Maybe I have a bigger bum to keep them up.

Grandmabatty Fri 03-Nov-23 19:18:36

Yup. Walking from the dentist and the previous day's fell out. I ignored and kept walking (faster) til I reached the car.

I was newly married and came out of a fitting room to find my DH talking to his mother and fourteen year old brother.
I saw them looking at my feet, so I looked down and my knickers were lying on the shop floor. I have no idea how they got there. 🤣

I ve also done this a few times, one day at work I wondered what the big lump was on my leg and out they came

I found mine on the pavement on my way back from my small town centre. It’s a steep hill, they must have fallen out on the way down and I hadn’t noticed. I can’t remember how I was certain that they were mine. But they definitely were. I had to wait for several people to walk past before I dared pick them up and scurry home with them!

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
