A bit of light relief?

But Ana surely that would count as littering?

I still think you should have thrown them out of the window - their discovery would have been a shock/horror talking-point for many a day! grin

roses, yes, I really did, it seemed the only option at the time, although I would like to point out they were placed in the bin in the toilet, not left in the middle of a carriage, or on a seat!

As Mr P would say, "Standards, darling, standards" grin

Phoenix, ????

Ah! I wondered when you would get round to the train story which, if I remember rightly, is even more side-splitting than the thong saga. Please give due warning so that we can all visit our respective lavatories before reading it.

Phoenix did you really leave your undies on a train? Tell us more.

rosesarered Sun 14-Aug-16 17:22:04

This is a problem easily solved, ( no tight trousers.)

Ana Sun 14-Aug-16 17:19:03

I'd rather run the risk of VPL than endure the torture of a thong! (I would feel very uncomfortable going commando - not for prudish reasons...)

rosesarered Sun 14-Aug-16 17:15:06

One has to wear a thong under tight trousers so that there is no VPL.......one has to, but I don't! grin

Ah, but there is also the story about the discarded underwear on the train............

Lawks-a-mercy - a thong! Give me shorts any time!

cornergran Sun 14-Aug-16 16:28:14

Made me chuckle, thanks for re-telling. The things we do for fashion! [grjn].

annodomini Sun 14-Aug-16 15:56:01

phoenix - it's just as good second time round. Thank you for a good giggle. sunshine

Do you think Rafel had his Y fronts on sideways yesterday? Perhaps that is why he lost his match ?

Margsus Sun 14-Aug-16 15:45:06

Oh Phoenix you really made me laugh - thank you!!

Swanny in those days (about 10 years ago) I had better bladder retention grin plus it was a fairly short time in the office, as I was working on a big presentation which was easier to do from home.

phoenix I chortled merrily at the thought of putting a thong on sideways the first time I heard it. The description of your antics throughout your day was brilliant but one thing puzzles me. How on earth did you manage to get through your day without going to the loo? blush

Afternoon all,

A member posted recently about underwear problems, and I mentioned that on one occasion I had managed to put a thong on sideways.

Although this is an "old" piece, I thought I would post it as it might give new members a smile!

The Original "Thong on Sideways" post, from the days when I had a "proper" job!

Admittedly, I was running late, so perhaps didn't give sorting my clothes out for work my full attention. (Managed to remember to put earrings in before leaving though, otherwise I would have felt naked)

Anyway, arrived at work, felt a bit uncomfortable in the downstairs department, but as I had to go straight in to a meeting, I didn't give it too much thought.

During the meeting every time I crossed my legs I experienced a strange & somewhat disconcerting sensation. As it was neither pleasant nor enjoyable, I decided to desist from leg crossing & attempted to just sit with my ankles neatly together. From time to time they drifted apart, taking my knees with them, but as I was wearing trousers this did not cause any undue alarm to those present.

Meeting over, I went off down the corridor to my desk, still feeling rather "odd". After carefully checking that no-one was behind me, I indulged in some rather John Cleese/Ministry of Silly Walks movements, sort of stretching first one, then the other leg out sideways, (yes, I know it's a bit visual, but do your best ladies) but to no avail. (Or perhaps think of a rather small & non-Japanese sumo wrestler limbering up, if that helps.)

I was worried that something may have gone awry "down below", perhaps ones labia continue to grow at a certain age, a bit like old men’s earlobes, but I had a busy, but fortunately short, day ahead of me so just had to get on with it.

The journey home was no better, luckily I drive an automatic, so much easier when you need a really good wriggle, I find.

Anyway, on reaching home, such was my discomfort that rather than head straight for the fridge for a glass of something restorative, I dashed upstairs to get changed.

That's when I discovered that it is perfectly possible to put ones thong on sideways
