Crikey - that was scary!

My late mother always prided herself on her smart appearance, gloves, polished shoes etc. One morning leaving for work she put her hand round the kitchen door to take hold of her umbrella which hung on the door handle by its loop.

She was stepping out down the street, swinging her umbrella which suddenly felt a little - light. She looked down and to her horror she was actually swinging a large colourful feather duster (like the ones Ken Dodd used to play around with) which had somehow been hung on the usual umbrella spot.

Love it!

I woke up this morning feeling so sad as my sister has recently died, but thanks to all of your funny stories I've cried laughing.THANK YOU x

😂😂😂

Similar to you CanadianGran - I was full of cold at work and felt a bit ill. After coming out of the ladies I saw my hankie on the floor of the open plan office and picked it up. Trouble was it was my knickers, the ones I'd dropped while getting dressed in the dark. They must have fallen into my trousers and worked their way down. Made the mistake of telling a workmate and for days I was ribbed by the everyone in the office asking if I was going commando

One morning at work I realized there was a lump inside the leg of my trousers. Thank goodness I went to the washroom to investigate... It was a pair of undies that had been caught up during washing and drying.

Imagine if they fell out on their own !

Oh! This happened to me but in the days of skimpy underwear, so no telltale bump in the leg of my jeans. I discovered yesterday's knickers when they emerged at my ankle while walking along the street with, shock horror, my new boyfriend! The embarrassment!

When my grandson was being potty trained (14 years ago) he wore pull-up nappies which were blue. One morning whilst staying at our house he walked into the bedroom and caught my husband in his blue y-fronts. "Are you wearing pull -ups grandad?" he said. It made us chuckle!

Oh thank you all, I really needed a laugh today! X

I had a lunch about four years ago and wore my new animal print dress .
No one said anything. It was inside out .
A few years back I went to a dance party and felt uncomfortable.
A prickly hair roller had attached itself to my shoulder.
But the story which amuses me the most is that of a flamenco dancer who did a long and very dramatic dance in a long dress with a train-a colin .
As the performance continued she felt increasingly irritated by the tittering from the audience .
A bra had attached itself to the hem at the back and was being flung into the air each time she twirled her skirt dramatically.

When my 3 DDs were at home each one had a particular coloured thread tagged onto the label of their white M&S knickers. But they had to have the light on to see what colour. It was the same for the white socks.

I once went to work wearing one navy blue shoe and one black one. Identical in all other respects! They looked ok in the dim bedroom light when I got them out of the wardrobe, but very noticeable in our well lit office.

My son is a hospital consultant. One morning he spent some time amusing his toddler daughter with her “dressing up” box. , He arrived on his ward round wearing a long pearl necklace. His colleagues noticed but let him wear it all morning before telling him!

Ohmygoodness54 .
I thought that I was the only one .
I went shopping with one brown court shoe and one navy -same style so they felt the same .
I laughed about it .
The very next day I did exactly the same ,but varied the shoes by swapping them round.
I didn't laugh.
I thought oh dear what's wrong with me aged only 33 !
I am absent minded .
My mind is always spinning with ideas for Art or writing.
Since then before going out I not only have the old Russian habit of praying,but I now double check everything.

My dear little granddaughter who is 5-6 told me she knows exactly how old she is because it is in the back of her pants.

It made me smile.......does this make me 38 rather than 70 then?

I love these 🤣

Mum's knickers decided to give up during a Scottish Country dancing demonstration. They dropped around her ankles so she danced out of them and continued!

I can only say one thing in response "Fabulous darling!" 😎

Opposite of OP I treated myself to some new knickers while shopping at Sainsbury's. Saw the size 10s and brought them home only to find, on donning my specs, I'd bought size 18! I've taken to wearing big pants lately, but not that big!!!!

I did that as well - except I didn't notice until I went out lunchtime and was getting back into the car! Nobody else had noticed either until I said about it when I got back into the office.

This has just reminded me of my knicker moment. I was on holiday in New York with my mum and sister. I had a habit of taking jeans and knickers off together and had removed them in the bathroom and put pjs on. When I came out mum and sis had fallen out sis had stormed out and I was sent to find her. I put my jeans back on got in the lift with 2 young men, next floor down 2 young girls got in looking like supermodels. Carried on, found sis and went back up in the lift. Walking towards our room I saw something mysterious outside our floor way down the corridor. Turned out to be my knicks! I’m only grateful they didn’t emerge in the lift 😂

I was chairing a work meeting for the first time. My boss, who usually did that, went with me or moral support. As we got out of the car on arrival at the venue, he said, ‘you might want to remove your earrings’. Curious, I did, and they were odd - both gold, but one was round and the other was oval. Good job my boss tipped me off! Some men would have been embarrassed to say that to a middle aged lady!

I too wore odd earrings to work - I was into enamel design earrings -totally different design, one was red, the other blue. No-one said a thing.
Another time I spent the day with just one earring in - must have been a hard start to the day!

One Monday morning at his workplace (he was a Senior Manager), someone pointed out that he had pink fingernails!

He arrived on his ward round wearing a long pearl necklace.

All the stories have made me laugh 😂
However these two made me think that nowadays, no-one would bat an eyelid!

A few years ago I bought some new jeans for both DH and myself. A few days later I commented to him that I was so pleased they had started making women’s jeans with larger pockets so I could fit my mobile in. He said “About time”. Sadly they were his I was wearing. Mine had pockets as small as they had ever been and still are.

I have black rings under my eyes so use a concealer to cover them before going to work. Leaving the car park after work I looked in the read view mirror to reverse out of my parking spot to see streaks of concealer not blended in under my eyes. I can not believe no one told me though it did give me a laugh.

sorry but I am laughing xxx
