So this isn’t my typical Pour Your Heart Out. Usually I write about something serious but today I decided to share with you a VERY embarrassing moment I had recently.
I haven’t had this experience probably since high school!
Last week, I had a few errands to run so I dropped my boys off with my parents. You would think it would be free time for me…nope! I had a full schedule plan, unfortunately not a fun one.
I had to drop my car off for service, pick up a rental car, go food shopping and head home to do a little cleaning.
The service department of the car dealership that I go to is a HUGE garage. The front and back are completely open so you can pull your car straight through.
I arrived, parked, and proceeded to the first desk {inside the garage} to check-in.
What I didn’t realize was the garage was like a wind tunnel. The place of course is surrounded by young guys and it happened to be a very busy day.
As I was standing there {in my sundress} filling out paperwork, a gust of wind swept through the garage taking my dress with it! Before I could catch it, my dress flew up around my waist!
I had a complete Marilyn Monroe moment…sadly it didn’t come off as pretty as she made it look but that’s exactly what it felt like.
I grabbed my dress as quickly as I could, completely mortified. At that very moment I wanted to crawl into a hole from embarrassment.
I tried to act like nothing happened but out of the corner of my eye I could see two young {not to mention two very good looking} guys staring right at me.
OH.MY.GOD.
Thankfully I wasn’t wearing my granny panties {stop laughing you know you all have them} and for whatever reason decided to wear cute looking ones that day.
The entire time I was there, I had to hold my dress down with one hand and fill out the paperwork with the other. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
Later that evening, I told my hubby about it and he laughed at me! He laughed!
He was actually more shocked about the fact that I wasn’t wearing granny panties than feeling sorry for me!
Next time our car needs service guess who will be going? Not me!

LMBO well at least they were staring in a good way not laughing and pointing hysterically right.

How embarrassing! I wouldn’t be going back, either…or at least, would have on pants next time! LOL
I would have been mortified too!
I think I would have told the technician to move out from behind the desk because I was going to fill out the rest of the paperwork SITTING DOWN! Laugh.

OMG!! I would be totally embarrassed too!

LOL!!! Okay, I’m not laughing AT you but this is totally something that would happen to me, too. And I think that wind tunnel could very well be the mechanics’ idea of a good time, eh?
Congrats on not wearing granny panties, at least you gave them a good show!

HAHAHA..that is so funny. I am laughing WITH you, not at you. (Wait, are you laughing still? Even a little bit?) LOL.

Oh…yikes! Mortifying!!!
I had a sundress on yesterday and my son came up to give me a hug and decided it would be funny to just lift up my dress. In the middle of McDonald’s. He’s 7 so…he can pull it up pretty high.
I’m telling myself nobody saw.

I’m sorry… but I laughed just a bit. The best part about the situation was you were wearing the cute underwear that day! Of course I don’t blame you for not wanting to go back… I’d be worried that they’d all look at me again and know I was “that” lady!
Love that story!! So classic lol
Yesterday on Cosmo Radio the guy was talking about how we should keep the sexy and only wear nice panties…I’m glad there is someone out there wearing them
Hey, at least they were staring, probably anticipating more of the show! Which means: they weren’t vomiting or bandaging their damaged corneas!
Consider that a compliment….and always where great undies while donning a dress. You never know when your Hollywood debut might unfold!
So I’m not the only one that these things happen to? Thank goodness. How very embarrassing -but at least you can laugh about it now- right?
.-= Diana´s last blog ..PYHO – This is what you get- make the most of it =-.
at least you were wearing undies and at least not a thong! LOL! so sorry. i wouldn’t want to go back there anytime soon, either!

Oh man! I am so sorry!! Husbands tend to focus on the weirdest things! This story reminds me of when I fell down a small flight of stairs and landed on my back with my skirt up to my waist when I lived in San Diego. You poor thing!! I wouldn’t have gotten out of there quickly as well!
I’m sorry I can’t help but laugh! If it helps, this morning I gave a high school boy a boob show.

Staring beats screaming in agony by those within viewing distance, which would’ve been the case had it been my dress going up.
Enjoy that there is something you have to cause the looks…(-:
That is too funny! I would have died if it happened to me. And my hubby would have totally laughed at me too. LOL
Ohhhhhh my. I would have been mortified, too! I don’t even know what to tell you. That stinks!
So funny…we’ve all had that moment. Mine was when I came out of a bathroom with my peasant skirt stuck into my undies in the back. The feeling of humiliation is beyond anything I can describe (well, you know obviously). Now, I am a fanatic about checking myself (front and back) in a mirror before I leave any bathroom.

Omg! ROFL…..I’m so sorry, this has happened to me too and I have been mortified…..however, when you discussed the cute panties part I couldn’t hold the laughter in.
I’ve stopped wearing anything shorter than ankle length after becoming a mom, coz my little one just loves to show of my cellulite to the public.
OMG that happened to me at work the other week. In front of a window of people I work with…ahhhh. I think I would rather show my granny panties to strangers than my colleagues. But I totally understand your embarrassment!!
My husband works on a service drive so I know how that can be. It’s never happened to me because I don’t wear dresses that often because I live in windy west Texas and wearing dresses is just a challenge pretty much daily!!! At least the young hot ones liked what they saw!!!

I’ve had a very simmer experience but it was at a wedding. Luckily I was wearing my best dress & undies. Needless to say I was blushing. After a couple glasses of wine at the open bar, all was good in the world.
.-= MamaOnDaGo´s last blog ..Blogging Brings Families Together by Absolutely Narcissism =-.
thank goodness for the urge to wear the good undies that day!
hey, at least they were still looking and not shielding their eyes in sheer horror right?
I would have been mortified! Glad you can laugh about it now with your husband.
i would die! well, i do have a cute butt but i am almost always wearing my granny panties
