Myssterry Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I remember my mum telling me of a mishap - wardrobe malfunction I believe it is called now - when my dad was attempting to teach her how to swim. She stood up in the pool and the top of the swimsuit stretched down revealing all. Apparently my dad pointed and laughed which made everyone turn round and stare before mum could pull the suit up and exit the pool. She never did learn to swim. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I haven't encountered that, but I did once have a male customer whose trousers fell down as they got out of the taxi, fortunately they were wearing something underneath 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryn2 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 A friend of mine dove off her (now ex) boyfriend’s boat and came up (sans bikini top) alongside a boat some distance away. Turns out some of her father’s coworkers were on it. Her then-boyfriend found it much funnier than she did. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobRossRules Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have yet to have a bathing suit accident. However, a few years ago, my skirt was caught up in my tights. I had no idea how long I was walking around with my butt showing. No one said anything to me. When I discovered it, I was mortified!! Especially the thought that I might have seen patients that way. That day I bought a full length mirror that I installed in my office so I can check myself before entering the exam room. If people don't know the story, they must think I'm vain having a mirror in my office. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not because I like to see myself but because they make the room seem bigger and brighter. One time I had a "date" come to my home for dinner and she commented something about being narcistic with all of the mirrors I had mounted in my home. Never went out with her again, but it really made me think about how others would perceive multiple mirrors. I had a delightful evening. I watered all of my spruce trees that have been growing for 30+ years since I planted them. It was fun just hanging out with my dog and my trees. I have watered them about twice per week since they started growing late last month. Some of them have almost a foot of new growth so far! I have the day off tomorrow so I plan to get a lot of misc. ranch chores done. Congratulations to @Tanwen for the academic success! 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
will123 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Speaking of co-workers, an ooops moment of mine from many years ago. There was an attractive female summer student working not too far from my work area. One day two construction workers that I knew were working nearby in the factory. One of them commented that Mario's daughter was working over there (the student). Mario who I asked. They replied with his full name. EXPLETIVE! The other two started to laugh and I said now you make me feel like a dirty old man. Why they asked? Mario was in the grade ahead of me and her mother was in my home room for crying out loud. Of course they had to ask me what her mother looked like... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had no idea how long I was walking around with my butt showing. Many years ago I did PC Support work for a medical device company with a large local manufacturing facility. The company was still “full business dress” for all non-manufacturing staff, so I had to work in a skirted suit even though my job involved a lot of crouching down and crawling into cabinets and under desks/tables. One afternoon, after I’d spent six hours with my jacket off (so, just in a shirt and skirt) crawling around installing equipment in a printer room, one of the very few women downstairs nicely pointed out that I’d buttoned the back of my skirt but neglected to zip the zipper. If I’d been standing it would have been fine, but bending at the hips... not so much. Wouldn’t you know that’s the day I wore sheer hose over bright red thong underwear. Oops! At least I knew why so many of the manufacturing supervisors (all men) had shown such unusual interest in the new equipment... 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not because I like to see myself but because they make the room seem bigger and brighter. I find them useful for reflecting light from the windows into areas where I grow indoor plants. Also, across from a window they make another window. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pickles. Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) I remember my then-husband's brother and wife had a wall of mirrors behind their couch. If you were sitting on the couch and they or one of their five children were talking to you, they did not look at you, but looked at their reflection in the mirror instead. It was eerie. I was in my early 20s, and it left a strong impression. Edited July 19, 2018 by pickles mcgee Word choice correction 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skycaptain Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I wonder if mirrors have become less fashionable since the advent of electric lighting. In days of yore they maximised the spread of light around a room, and were a status symbol as they were very expensive. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanwen Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Got the 'feedback' on my final assignment.

Mark of 74% -- so, yes, well chuffed The topic I chose was 'What makes a site sacred' 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
