I did the shoe thing myself when I was still working. At least they were both the same style, just one was brown and one was black. No one noticed - or at least was too polite to say anything

.
Several months ago I got up & dressed & went off to Target. I was almost done with my shopping when a lady came up to me, bent over (I'm in a powerchair) & told me (in a low voice) that one of my chair arms had a pair of panties wrapped around it

. Sometimes when I'm getting dressed I stick the old ones there until I take them to the hamper. I was absolutely mortified

. She couldn't have been nicer - she said she was a nurse. I frantically shoved the panties into my purse, hoping an employee wouldn't see me and think I was shoplifting them!
It's now ok to laugh about it, but it took awhile! And no, I don't stick pieces of clothing on my chair anymore (at least when I know I'm going out

!)
