Just a quickie

There is no photo accompanying this post on the grounds of decency.  Yup, I had a couple of incidents today at school that caused a bit of a kerfuffle.  At sometime during the morning I had to leave class and use the toilet.  I then realised that I needed to make a quick phone call and was standing in the staff room, phone in hand when I heard my name being shouted rather urgently, "Jane!"  I looked up and saw a colleague frantically gesturing to my behind..yeah you guessed it..I had my skirt tucked into my knickers and tights! I quickly adjusted myself and thought what a lucky escape the children in my class had- not to mention giving anyone on the way back to the class room an eyeful!

It was later in the afternoon when I visited the toilet again.  As I washed my hands I ran through in my head how I could word the whole funny incident for the blog and made sure I had adjusted my skirt. As I quickly left to go back to class the most enormous screech of laughter filled the staffroom and a voice boomed out, "AHHHH, STOP! JANE STOP! JANE!" People came running to see what had happened and fell about laughing. I looked on confused and then saw a looong trail of toilet paper snaking behind me!  I had somehow tucked the end of the roll into my knickers/tights!  What silly girl.

I think the combination of a skirt with a lining and a very strong, twangy elastic waistband on my tights was the problem. Once was OK but twice...what a day!  I'm now off to take them off - well, it's far too warm for tights isn't it?!

What a hoot!!!!
This happened to a friend of mine...not me, really...but her piece of toilet tissue had mascara on it...and of course, that looked very bad.

She was walking down the street when she came upon a friend who was quite elegantly dressed...and that friend told her what was trailing behind..caught in her shoe.

:o)

Oh dear what a lark!

You do seem to have quite a few knicker incidents don't you my dear? I'm just recalling the wearing of Anth's on a certain London trip...

[Funkymonkey]

Thank goodness a certain member of Coldplay wasn't there to see it!

[nanette]

Do you know, I've been checking your blog every day for about a year now just because it's like reading a country living article every day. I couldn't believe it when I came across your blog just because I coveted the same Cath K blanket and typed it into Yahoo as I didn't have enough money for it but was abit obsessed. Discovering Posy was purely serendipitous. Now, reading your blog lifts my mood, inspires me or just gets me into action. If I don't fancy gardening, I envisage a post showing cottagey tubs etc. and I think if Jane can do it, so can I!
I sadly copied your wall paper in my living room as I loved that photo of your socks and the fire. I'm sure my sister, who now reads your blogs too, thinks that's taking things a bit far but I'm so pleased with the finished effect.
I'm not normally a copy cat but years of Country Living reading has by osmosis surely left some effect and create a certain type/ way of being. Thank you for providing me with my daily fix. I'm sorry that I haven't thanked you before.x

Oh dear! (funny, but only because it's not me... I'm impressed that you can already laugh about it). I'm always really paranoid that I'll get the back of my skirt caught up in my tights and so I always check that the hem goes all the way around.

[Joy]

brilliant, I laughed so loud that my son came downstairs to see what I was laughing at, I'm sorry but I just had to explain to him. Thanks for brightening up my evening.

[rosy]

You make me smile!
. . . and I love your blog

Oh no! You will probably never do it again after having two such incidents on the same day, so you can rest easy now, you will never tuck your skirt into your knickers again. EVER!

[Susan Ramey Cleveland]

A kerfuffle indeed! I've been reading your blog for a while but I hardly ever comment. But I had to speak up on this one. I know it wasn't funny at the time, but I hope you can laugh now, because I sure am.

[Gumbo Lily]

....and you posted this publicly. You, Jane, must be a very secure woman! LOL

[Binny]

OH NO! I thought those things only happened in the movies. Jane, you poor thing. That is so incredibly embarrassing. Thanks for sharing it with us - we know we're not alone if we ever do it ourselves..

[Nonnie]

Oh Jane you are funny! Too hot for tights though! Hope you don't have any similar incidents today.

hahaha all of my teaching collegues got a kick out of this Jane :) hehe Our biggest nightmare!

I have one worse however. One teaching day my panty liner (I was to be on that day and never want to chance it) it had slipped from my knickers and made its way down my trouser leg and was peeking out the bottom stuck to the side of my heel. Luckily, I noticed before my students did!! MORTIFIED to say the least!

It gets the best of us. But, teaching is hard enough without such bloopers. Agree? :)

[waterrose]

Well I just found your blog for the first time and have to say you gave me quite a chuckle...and no pictures were needed! You have a lovely blog and I'll be back to visit,

[Elizabeth Mackey]

That is too funny,what a great story. I'm new to your blog,but have been enjoying reading your past posts and looking at all the beautiful photos. I love your part of the world :)

[Elizabeth Mackey]

I had to come back and write another comment after I read some of your older posts. I love your obsession with Cold Play! I love them too and saw them in concert here in California, I also love Snow Patrol and Travis.
MY band would have to be U2 though :) My daughters are sick to death of my U2 obsession, I even have the U2 ipod. So I know your feeling all too well :) The other thing I loved was the older post on your birthday November 2006, where your family members wrote all those things about you. SO cute.

[Darly]

Dear Jane, No photo necessary. Your detailed description and my vivid imagination have me ROFLMAO. Have you given any thought to a "trousers only" wardrobe????
miles of smiles,

I had a few days years ago where it seemed to happen twice a day. I now have a nervous habit of checking it everytime I leave a bathroom.

[clare]

I am wiping away tears!! I'm not quite sure how you would get photos for that one-re-enactment perhaps???Perish the thought.( Not that you don't have lovely knickers I'm sure........) Possibly a girls worst nightmare.

[Heidi]

I did that same thing at Disney World. Twice. The first time only the woman in the baby center saw me, the second time, all the people in the Splash Mountain line were witnesses to my shame. This was on two different trips but I was wearing the same skirt with a lining. So embarrassing!

[Marilyn]

I loved your stories, Jane because I think EVERYONE can relate! lol

All I can say is thankfully you have friends that took the time to let you know!!!!!! It would have been worse if you had started walking around and no one had let you know.

Ah, you are so funny! Thank you for this post.

[Racheal]

Brilliant story, thanks for making me smile.

I had a friend that was at a wedding reception and strolled across the room back to her table with her skirt tucked in her knickers, luckily she managed to laugh about it.

[Linnea]

Thanks for the funny stories :o) I laughed... especially because I could see the same thing happening to me! I admire your grace to laugh at these instances! Take care & have a great weekend!!

[dottydesigns]

That is sooo funny, I nearly wet my pants laughing!!

[Jane]

You remind me of the day I got out of my car, parked in the handicapped area near the church, thankfully, and saying good morning to our Administrator who was sweeping and realized my skirt had slipped to my ankles.
Just as well I have known this guy since we were teens and also that I was arriving early for music rehearsal. However you can imagine my fear each time we had to go up onto the platform and sing. I could just imagine singing to the congregation, mike in one hand and trying to grab skirt in the other. I oftern sing behind the pulpit for a bit of stability if I need it and it is close to the steps, but it would not have been wide enough to have given me much protection.
Weird thing is, it has never happened again. Maybe I somehow pulled it getting out of the car?

I am glad it did not happen in my teaching days. What a Kodak moment.
