Default Laugh at Yourself here

I'll start.

When I use my computer I often sit in my comfy chair and put my feet up on my desk (No, I never did this in my office at work)!

I call this my 'executive position'.

Anyway, I was sitting here today and suddenly noticed that I had two different shoes on my feet. One was a brown sandal and the other a black loafer.

Generally I am able to match my shoes and yes, one day I actually did wear two different shoes out when I went shopping. In that case they were at least similar (two different black shoes).

Well, hope this made you laugh or at least smile. I'm going to go and search for the mates for my shoes and decide which will be best.

Got anything funny to share?

Tootsie

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 !)

I am laughing so hard at that! I can relate.

I once left the house midday and went to the hardware store. I looked around, went to the checkout and purchased what I'd come for.

When I got home I walked by the mirror and noticed I'd been walking around with a dish towel thrown over my shoulder. No one said a word. Maybe they thought it was a scarf???

I'm glad though it wasn't my panties.

Oh wait.....

I said (in the previous post) oh wait...

because I remembered one time when we were traveling and staying at a very nice hotel.

The day we were leaving husband gathered up a bunch of stuff to take to the car.

I made a quick sweep of the room to make sure we didn't leave anything and when satisfied I had everything I left.

As I walked down the hall I saw in the distance a small pink 'item'. Hmmmm, I wondered, what could that be?

As I got closer I suddenly realized it was my panties! Seems like husband had taken a little too much with him and 'spilled' some of the dirty laundry.

I quickly took a look around, trying to be nonchalant as I hastily picked them up and stuffed them in my pocket.

When I got to where dear husband was waiting for me he said "why are you glaring at me???".

I don't let him carry the dirty clothes bag anymore.

I made it half way to work without my skirt on once!! I had a slip on, plus my blouse - but generally waited till I was ready to leave to put my skirt on so it wouldn't get too wrinkled or dirty (I had two small boys at that time). Luckily I looked down and to my horror I had no skirt!! Good thing I wasn't too far from home AND we had a garage so I could inconspiciously get into the house!

Now....I double check everything before I leave the house!!

Oh Kelly! Thank goodness you didn't drive all the way to work and have someone say "Ummm is that a new style of skirt you're wearing?" LOL

I have gone to the grocery store with my slippers on. They are a bright light blue color and they are really fuzzy!

I noticed when I got out of the car but decided what the he!!, I'm not going home now. I did my shopping in my slippers.

I so don't care what people think of me most of the time. I thought that it would give some who noticed a chuckle.

I do this but today I went too far back and I landed on my head. The look on my kids faces was priceless. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Then my kids were worried I told them I was ok. I am just happy that my hubby was not home. I think he would still be laughing.

That is very funny! I'm glad you were okay too.

I once visited a friend and her dad was sitting in the rocking chair rocking; suddenly he went ***** over applecart! After we found out he was okay we got a good laugh out of it.

Kelly, I have to admit I've usually made it out of the house with my skirt on! That is truly funny

Joelle, So are the blue slippers a hoot, but I too wouldn't bother going home to change them either. Once I am there I'm there and that's it!
