Last week I came home from work relatively early one day because my mother-in-law was going to watch the kids while Dee and I went out for a belated Valentine's Day meal.
We were walking out the door to the restaurant when my wife said, "Did you see the pants with the hole in the back? They look sort of like the ones you've got on, and I wanted to make sure you weren't going to wear them before we sewed them up."
To which I replied, "No, I didn't see any pants with holes in them. Where was it?" I craned my head around to see if I could identify whether I was wearing said pants, when we both suddenly realized that indeed, I was wearing said pants.
AND HAD BEEN FOR A FULL WORK DAY.
Yep, somehow I had missed the fact that the pants were ripped, and wore them all that day at work, including TWO trips out to a vendor's facility for inspections. Luckily, I was wearing my jacket most of the time that I was not sitting down at my desk, but still I'm amazed that I managed to get by the whole workday 1) without anyone pointing this out to me and 2) without feeling a draft.

I think hair-spray bands in the 80s did that on purpose. Just tell people you're working on "bringing it back." heh, "back"

Thanks! I needed that. How you made it the "hole" day w/o someone giving you a hard time is beyond me. Literal LOL.

My goodness, I am surprised too that you did not notice and that nobody else noticed it and alerted you to the problem.

Hmmm, two points of view:1. No one at work checks out your bum.2. Everyone checks out your bum and (in these pants) they likes what they sees. (Bow chica)

That sounds like something I would do! It really is amazing you went the whole day without anyone saying anything or feeling a breeze.

Is it egotistical to hope for option #2? :-)

Ha! I mean… Awwwwww…First find out if the person is ok BEFORE you laugh.No one told you? I want friends who will tell me about unwanted boogers, toilet paper, and holes. I would have told you.

I'm sincerely hoping it was more because nobody noticed, rather than nobody dared/cared to tell me. :-)

Not knowing works a lot better many times…

HILARIOUS! Also, now, you can recycle those pants into a pair of Daisy Dukes. Which I triple dog dare you to wear and post a photo on VOX.

Sorry, I seem to have already misplaced them (in the garbage). You'll have to wait for me to rip my next pair of pants before you get to see my Dr. Tobias Fünke "never nude" impression.

I agree with mad-tante. The only way out of this one would have been to pretend you did it on purpose.

I've done that. I think the best thing to come out of that would be that then everyone else would want some just like it.
