*sigh* this does not bode well for the day
Okay I can say in excuse that I only got about 5 hours sleep last night but..I was in the break room getting my morning tea when one of my coworkers told me "do you know that your shirt is on inside out?" Sigh. I've been dressing myself for years...you would think I would notice that..
Please tell me others have done this...:blush:

1. I once got to work with two different shoes on. Not socks, SHOES.
Yes, I am an adult and, yes, I have been dressing myself for almost 40 years.

23. I did that at my most recent child-support hearing
In my defense the power was out that morning, so I was doing things by candlelight. One black wingtip, one dark-brown wingtip. And I only got three hours of sleep, because at 6am, when the power cut out, all of the fire doors slammed shut and woke me up.

Then I had to get in the shower ASAP before all the hot water was gone. Good thing I did, too, because it was barely lukewarm when I got out!

I was pretty fuzzy...

:-)

the time. I had to race home (20 miles) and race back before school started. Luckily, I had arrived early that morning and had the time (barely). I never would have lived it down otherwise.

Running late and grabbing the shirt right out of the dryer when your you're still sleepy can cause that.

3. no, only underwear on inside out
but if it makes you feel better, I went to work yesterday and somehow had some toothpaste on my shirt- a big glob of it. Ihave also misbuttoned my shirts- didn't match the
buttons up correctly. Mornings are just so tough sometimes. I hope that the rest of your day goes better. :-)

4. I've gained weight since I went off the "no-carb" diet 6 months ago....
Yesterday, my mother was scrutinizing me as I sat at the
computer prepping for a sales call...

Then she said it.

"Have you had your thyroid checked?"

I know GD well she was looking at my newly
bejowled NECK.

I'm taking a collection up to bring Skittles
in to kick her ass.

My mother KILLS me.

11. All day long, when I got out of the car, I was glancing at my reflection...
in the car window...

I felt like crap all day.

Now I must take all pictures as a
MySpace pose, from above!

Really, I'm 47, you'd think that my
mother would have lost the power to
deflate me by now.....

12. I feel your pain.
Parents can be the worst critics - and with one word, one look, they can make you feel like shit in a nanosecond.

9. Can't say I've done that, but
there have been a couple of times where I had to show up for a deposition or pre-trial hearing, and realized (MUCH too late) that I had a runner in my pantyhose. Not very attractive - and it's always fun when someone points it out!

Don't sweat it, TZ. If you don't make a big deal out of it, they'll forget about it too. :)

13. One time I had to make a presentation and had a wad...
of black cat hair stuck under my pantyhose and
didn't realize it.

I heard the snickering of the art directors behind me,
and one of the nicer ones pointed to my calf....

I loudly announced that I had "missed a spot" this
morning and they ROARED laughing.

I did not live that down easily.

15. I think I have done that at least once.
But only with solid colored t-shirts. :shrug:

I hope your day improves. :)

I'm still sitting here debating whether or not I can make it to work today. I can feel the bad weather coming and I'm already hurting. I have to make a decision about my day.

18. I have done it!
I discovered it after I got home from work! I had been wearing a sweater inside out ALL DAY! I cut the tags out of most shirts, so at least the tag wasn't waving in the breeze. I did wear a pair of boots all day and realize the tag was still on them also, actually I have worn quite a few items with the tags still attached. It's mortifying, but it doesn't seem to stop me.

Don't fret. It's probably a sign that you are a wonderful person..or something. I tell myself that. :)

29. Yes, "probably a sign that you are a wonderful person".
I like it! We've all done things that we're absolutely appalled about when we think of them afterwards. (Even years later. :blush:)

19. I haven't done that at work but
I've gone out with a shirt inside out or backwards.

Usually I notice it when I get back and no one ever says anything :shrug:

I have Almost gone to work like that but so far I've caught myself right after dressing and fixed it before going in.

21. Yup, I've done it too, my dear turtlensue!
I have these little culottes...

And one day I was just going along, minding my own business...

When I decided I needed a kleenex that was in the pocket...

And I couldn't reach it...

The culottes were on backwards... :blush:

22. Yes, many times.
And not just to me but to my kid too when she was a tot. Sometimes I even put the wrong shoe on each foot because when their feet are so little the shoes are kinda just straight. I'd put her clothes on backwards, inside out, maybe upside down. I put my shirts on backwards and don't even notice it until I get that little itch on my throat and notice it's the tag. Oh, and I've put in two differant earrings and socks that don't match.

24. well look on the bright side, you had a shirt on.

I was in las Vegas last year and i tripped and took a heada in front of about oh 100 people or so, total humiliation, so i got a up and took bow.

25. Just this weekend I had mine on backwards
Of course nobody bothered to say anything about it until we were at our destination and couldn't fix it on the spot.

Really! :banghead:

26. A couple of weeks ago I was walking across campus and I noticed that my shadow
looked really odd - it turned out that I'd forgotten to brush my hair after my morning shower.

That day turned out OK - perhaps yours will as well...

34. Done that before...multiple times...
Usually with the same shirt. There's one shirt that I have that, absent the tag, is hard to tell whether it's inside out. That's no excuse though because the tag is still on the shirt. I've shown up with it inside out 3 times so far. The same co-worker caught it each time. I do stupid shit all the time though so every time, she shook her head and said, "Only you, Candice...only you." I'm glad to know that it isn't only me.
