right. I was just in my bosses office (who is thankfully away), when i squated down to pick up a box -you know the correct way that doesnt strain your back, and the bum seam of my business trousers rather amusingly split from belt at the back right around to the bottom of my fly.



I have made it back to my desk without encountering anyone and have my bottom on my seat, but now have a key decision to make (other than where to go shopping tomorrow).



- Do i simply wait till everyone has left the office?

- Do i make a strategic dash down the stairs to the exit door, and across the car park to my car ubbrollsmile

- Proudly display my efforts to my colleagues, boosting employee moral and the expense of my own personal pride. redface

- Pretend it never happened, continue business as always, and see how long before someone says something ubblol



what do you reckon?

Hmmm, do you have a bag that you carry to work? Can you artfully drape it over your shoulders so that it hides your bum? If not, then I'd take a little from option one, and a little from option 2.

*stifles laughter*

Give them all a giggle and show them. After all how bad a dent in your pride will it make hearing your colleages have a giggle with you?

Show them... much better than hiding... if you try to hide they might notice and think: ... didn't make it to the toilet in time... eek

no faking it! wink

ubblol but it's good you're wearing something under it... wink

the best smiles are the ones you lead to wink

Get some tape, then wait until no-one's looking before dashing off to the toilets - jump into a stall and you can tape the sides of the tear together. Hopefully it'll last long enough for you to get home.

Or.. take a marker pen to the toilet and colour in your underpants the same colour as your trousers - hopefully then no-one will notice the rip.

biggrin

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

i would wait untill everyone has left the office,

1) no one will see the rip
2) you will look good to your boss staying late
3) it will save you embarrasment



only downfall is the you have to stay rooted to you chair all day

failing that, i'd go with the tell your workmates option - my theory is 'make fun of yourself before someone else does'

well, since you would've hopefull made a decision by now (you had to get up to find food if you did stay all night, right??) i hope you still have some pride left with whatever you decided.

Thats why jumpers are good , to hide funny stains that you have sat in and ripped pants.

Hope you wore your nicest Y fronts

well.... i ended up having to finish heaps of stuff off so stayed late.
I made a dash at about 6pm downstairs to the fridge to steal a beer and didnt get caught - the risk was worth it!

by the time id finished for the day almost everyone had gone home anyway, but i strategically use Flash's suggest of covering my arse with my bag when I encountered the head accountant on the stair well.

hooray! ubbrollsmile

You are such a wuss. You have a nice arse and you should show it off when life presents the opportunity. wink

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

Go to the toilets, take of your trousers, take of your underpants, redress in the trousers, proceed to bosses desk, drop your pen/pad/whatever. Turn, bend over and wink at him/her in a way they never thought possible wink ubblol

nice idea - but the boss is a 43 yr old woman married to the workshop boss, who is a 6'7" mildly psychotic german dude who i really would not have that dispute with!

thanks for the idea though ubblol
