Real life: an embarrassing moment!

Posted by Unknown on September 04, 2013 9 comments

OK, so I have been having fun buying new clothes, skirts, shirts, shoes, bras and undies. Who wouldn't, new sizes in totally uncharted waters here.

The only new thing I haven't bought was a new black slip. Didn't need one. I don't wear it to often, it has always been to tight and now that it is loosening up my lined black Sunday skirt holds it up. Right?

WRONG!!!!

This past Sunday I wore my lined black skirt. It has a slit up the side that is to high to wear knee highs with. So out come the pantyhose, see my post The Pantyhose Dance, (which is a story in itself). If I wear my black slip, then I can wear my knee highs.

It was hot Sunday and I didn't want to wear pantyhose, so out came the slip. Put it on and noticed it was loose. But no big deal.

Made through the morning service, lunch and the afternoon service. Time to go home...

Walked out of the assembly into the fellowship hall which was becoming VERY crowded with people.

When LO and BEHOLD something felt funny.

I bet you know where I am going with this!!!!

MY SLIP FELL OFF IN CHURCH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FELLOWSHIP HALL!!!

Yup, surrounded by people, it is around my ankles.

I, what I thought was discreetly, bent over, grabbed what I could and quickly walked to a bench and sat down hoping so one saw me. A young girl came over to say hi and I told her to stand in front of me and bend over like she was talking to me, then I quickly took off my slip and stuck it in my pocketbook.

We laughed, and someone else stuck their head over and says, "So what did I just see?!!" More laughter.

Needless to say, I am glad it was my slip and not undies.

Guess I need a new black slip as that one went right into the garbage!!!!

This is hysterical. Love how you just calmly and cooly sat down in a pew and got rid of it in your pocketbook.

Lovely!

Oh my God! I am glad I had a chance to read this story this morning as I am all by myself in the Office. I laughed out loud. Great story! Hysterical! I feel the same way as you do to laugh at every opportunity. We are a bunch of happy people!

My very first week on program I started dropping weight like a madman. Four days in I went to Rave Cinemas and had to duck into the men's room because my pants were falling down and I had to tighten my belt. I was literally holding the front of my pants in a fist, trying to wrangle my wallet to pay for my ticket then trying to get to the bathroom with my dignity intact. It was embarrassing but what a motivator it was, too!
