Ladies, we've all had the occassional monthly slip up, but what is the funniest clothing/make-up related mishap you have ever witnessed?

Personally, I think the funniest was the CEO/MD at work turning up to work in his suit, taking off his jacket in a very high powered business meeting, and there stuck to his shirt (by static) was a bright red sports sock. A grim warning to men to remember to throw an anti-static conditioning tumble drier sheet in with the laundry. Managed to get it off before anyone else saw, far as I know.

Also, on a more personal level, I went to a job interview once with a set of false (glued on) finger nails, to disguise my short nibbled nails. One pinged off across the desk while I was making a point. I think only one of the board interviewing me noticed. And thankully it fell on the floor. I did not react, and sat on my hand after that. And (incredibly) got the job!

Anyone care to share?

This was not funny... but because the girl in question was so rude.. I think I'll say it.

Was in amsterdam, and this girl walks by wearing white pants, and as she passsed, my girlfriends and I noticed this big ole RED patch.

So, of course we felt bad and embaressed for her, and one of us ran up to her to tell her and she was such a biatch, the mere thought of being stopped by a complete stranger.. but she was notified anyway..

Had a co-worker tell me how color co-ordinated he was. He said.. "even my socks match" and pulled up his pant legs to reveal a Blue and a Black sock on each foot.

Then, had a girl friend show up for classes wearing two different shoes. What got me, was, one shoe had a heel and the other didn't.

As for me, I was in thai class writting on the board when one of my classmates told me I had really nice undies on. I know I scowled, and I might have sent them to hel_l under my breath, and I said.. "really what colour are they?". The told me, and sure enough, my jeans had ripped an it was not a small rip. I had no money, and no scarf, and I rode the BTS all the way to my neck of the woods with my hands behind my butt.

After nearly 24 hr journey to Hat Yai I managed to get together with my new classmates and was crossing the road with them to go have breakfast. I had white trousers on and fuschia (what the spelling of this colour is I can never remember..) low cut nickers showing off my zip undone, all cars passing by and people facing me from the other side of the street could see how bright my undies were... I managed to do the zip after god knows how long it was undone and ended up greeting some stranger walking towards the same direction, thinking that she was part of the team...

One of my colleague’s false eyelashes fell off and into her coffee once!

On another occasion a heel broke off my fabulous original 70s wedge platforms during a night out and I had to limp to a taxi in a rather lopsided manner (they were 4 inch heels!). carrying the broken shoe! Oh, the shame ..

Ohh Andrea you are brining back terrible memories..

I have had the eye lash hang loose while at a wedding.. the "hoe like shoe" straps break/cut while on the dance floor, I lost my balance but luckily my dance partner caught me and the ultimate was...

Dancing at a Disco while on Vacation and my pants ripped in the front. From the zipper to the middle of the crotch.. I know.. go ahead and say it.. easy access. What killed me was that my undies, where not black thus the rip was very obvious.

A long time ago in Manchester, I fought tooth and nail to date a gorgeous Swedish girl.

She finally caved in and said okay but only if we went to the Ritz as she was into ballroom dancing.

Undeterred by being unable to dance a single step, I rushed my sharpest charcoal grey mohair suit to the dry cleaner and then picked her up in a borrowed MG.

We entered the Ritz and heads turned - not for me, for her - she was a stunner!

So I was checking in my Crombie overcoat just as a drunk staggered out of the toilet and threw up his dinner all over my suit.

The hatcheck girl did her best to clean me up and figured it didn't look so bad as the suit was dark anyway.

She was right, until it began to dry out sort of chalky and emanated a horrible sickly smell - before the second dance was through.

I can't think of a less embarrassing episode in my whole life.

Needless to say, my goddess was very gracious and we continued to date until she tired of me 3 weeks later.

That one was pretty nasty qwetzy. At least she was gracious about it.

I remember being 16 and thinking i was super cool wearing all black. One day walking with some friends some boys stopped us and started talking to us. I leaned onto the railing trying to look all chilled out and aluring, but as my hand touched against the rail it felt wet, then I noticed some bright green paint on my fingers. I had not noticed the railing had been recently painted, didnt even smell it. Anyway..I hung about hoping the boys would leave asap giving odd 'dont dare go' looks to my friends. Eventually the boys left before noticing and i high tailed it home to change. My friends laughed till they cried over it. For weeks!

Another time was when studying and headed out one night for a student night at the local club with a friend. She had a really great black dress on....but....when we got in the club there were UV lights and she had on white undies. Her underwear glowed like a walking bikini! I was in fits of hysterics and she was utterly mortified. We left and returned later after a change of smalls !

Talking of mixed shoes, just a few months back one early morning, i had an early flight to Bangkok (from CM). I was in a rush and grabbed my shoes from the wardrobe last minute and headed out. I have two pairs of flats that are exactly the same except one pair is white another is gold. In the dim light i didnt notice i had put on one of each. I kept one foot tucked under me most of the day until i had a chance to buy a cheap pair of replacements.

I am sure i have a million embarressing stories...but thats the first ones that come to mind.

Eidt: I should have written more embarrassing.

Years ago a gorgeous girl that hung around with the 'in crowd' that I was part of, was dancing around on a roller rink, she was a good skater. However as she was performing this really difficult sideways dance at full speed, the 'boob tube' she was wearing snapped and she flashed her tits to all of us who were ogling her! It was really funny till she fell, attempting to cover herself up, and ended up in hospital!

I had lunch at the faculty club of my university, then went home. It was only on arriving home that I saw that my loose pants had completely split down the back, with my ass basically hanging out.

I can only hope it happened somewhere on the way back, instead of while I was still inside. I was mortified!

Just today I stepped onto an upwards escalator and looked up to see the lady ahead me wearing was a pair of nylon tights as if they were a pair of leggings. Nothing was left to the imagination including the cotton gusset. It was so wrong. I felt embarassed and ran away! I hope she looks in the mirror really soon.

Back in school days, my besties and I were out one saturday night, running amok in the middle of town. One of them did a cartwheel and yesterday's knickers flew out of her jeans leg! The rest of us all saw these little white undies go sailing down the mall and were literally crippled with laughter for a good 10 minutes. Still makes me laugh.

In the mid 80's I was working in refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodian border in Surin. It was an active war zone and it was the dry season when offensives were common and we were all on high alert.

A very hot April day on the way home for work I and my staff stopped at a local resevoir to jump in for a swim as we sometimes did...thai-style, i.e. fully clothed. I was happily swimming about at the cowded resevoir when a call came from the Security Officer on the car radio for me. Fearing the worst I lept out of the water and ran to receive it. As it happened it was nothing too serious. But as I stood there dripping wet and talking I nticed that every eye for miles around was fixed upon me, and glanced down to find that....the all white cotton shirt, culottes, and undies I had on were, when wet, completely -- and I mean completely -- transparent.

By the time I realized this, my entire staff from doctors to the drivers as well as a large segment of the local Thai populace had seen all there was to see for a good 5 minutes.

Mortified, I managed to get hold of a towel and with what dignity I could muster get in the car to race home and get dressed. On the way back I bemoaned my humilation to a colleague who tried to comfort me by saying, "Well, look at it like this, Sheryl...today you made a lot of people very, very happy".

Don't swim with your clothes on!
