*doing the bum-dance*

[debxena]

There's nothing to make you quite so self-conscious as this:

I'm walking to the bathroom at work, and one of my co-workers calls out my name. "Deborah!" I turn, make eye-contact with them, and they continue, "You have a hole in your trousers."

I put a hand back and feel my bum. There's a hole in my pants. A big hole. When did that happen?

Oops indeed - your icon is very appropriate.

Hooray for chutzpah; it makes life far more bearable :)

*hugs*

One of the best thing about LJ is you find out that the stuff you thought for years could only happen to you really happens to everybody everywhere.

[debxena]

What's really scary is that it's happened more than once ... this is actually the third time in my working life I've had a pants disaster!

Luckily it doesn't happen too often, or I'd start to get paranoid :)

*hug and does the bum dance too*

Well, not the full pants ripping sewing-rescue dance, just the one where I wriggle a little bit :)

[debxena]

Ah, and you wriggle so well!

Congratulations on successful resolution of the Pants Crisis.

I'm sure your co-workers do not deserve the delightful treat of a glimpse at your knickers.

[debxena]

Heheh. They absolutely do not deserve it, but it looks like they got treated anyway. Makes a change from my bringing in baking :)

Ahhhh, glad to hear it all got sorted out in the end.

Reminds me of Grammar shirts, the school shop of which sold camoflaged velcro shirts which looked like normal shirts because so many were ruined playing rugby. It became evident early on that if you grabbed someone by the collar and hauled, the victim would fall over and all the buttons would come off, leaving them ragged and exposing pasty flesh for the rest of the day.

Such activities stayed on the rugby field for perhaps 1.43 minutes.

The 'Escape Shirt' was just easier. It'd get dragged off, you'd reclaim it with possible violence, and no harm done.

So now the idea of Escape Pants has occurred to me, and I'm having difficulty thinking of situations that'd need them that I'd be able to market to a wider community interest. Ah so.

Also: Thankee for Van Wilder and the Angel video! *Hugs.*

[debxena]

Escape pants! Those would be cool. And I can think of many situations they'd be useful in, but absolutely none of them occur at work.

Also: You're totally welcome!

I can think of one instance when escape pants would be handy to have at work. :)
