I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me

I feel for you it is my worst nightmare! My experience did not get as far as your's....shopping with two teenage grandaughters (so my purse was now empty) I felt my ancient knickers sliding slowly down my bare legs so tried to hold up on top of the back of my dress but then couldn't manage the shopping bags. Made the two girls walk very close one at each side pressing against the bags to hold my knickers up. Hot and clammy day, stressed and embarrassed, they 'threatening' me if my knickers fall down in the middle of town they will never, ever forgive me........needless to say I got home threw all old knickers in the bin and treated myself to new ones the next day, decided big knickers maybe the order of the day from now on....

Oh that made me laugh! Bless you, I feel your embarrassment

I have, more than once been on the way to work , after grabbing a pair of knickers that I had been meaning to throw out and putting them on, only to feel them sliding down inside my trousers when walking to work - elastic waistband had given up ! Bent down to change my shoes when I got to work, only to see a nude piece of material poking out by the hem of one of the legs of my trousers! Luckily, a quick trip to M&S to buy new ones was possible - even though I still had my knickers flapping round my ankle! The elastic had not only given up, but the side seam stitching had also unravelled - same thing happened a few weeks later, but luckily I had kept my new pack of knickers in my locker!

How embarrassing sorry but I had to laugh ??
