Please make me feel less of a twonk...

[anonymous-user]

I was on the bus from Waterloo to Holborn this morning and I noticed that my shoes felt odd...

Upon looking down I realised that I have managed to put one brown shoe and one black shoe on.

It took all of 5 minutes for my colleagues to notice and generally have a chuckle at my expense, I am taking it in good humour whilst sat here feeling a bit of a tt...

Anyone else done this or something stupid to make me feel less daft?

[Jag-D]

Nice work my man!

I've done it with socks, but not shoes before

[MiniMan64]

No, sorry, you're just a plonker.

Photos, please! Must be a good look

I wore through the seat of some suit trousers a few years ago without realising. Walking around the office with my boxers hanging out was "interesting".

I think I duct-taped the insides to hold them together for the rest of the day.

This has also happened to me, I used a stapler

Picked the wrong suit jacket up as I ran out of the office the other day. Blue trousers, mid grey jacket at presentation I was giving. Didn't notice until it was pointed out to me. Removed jacket, froze in my shirtsleeves.

Foolish.

Got to the tube station and realised my polo shirt was on inside out...

Me too! I was on an appointment in Middlesbrough at a cement works and I squatted down to fix something and my trousers split at the seam. Back in the manager's office, when he went off to get coffee, I filched his stapler and nipped to the bog to 'sew' my arse closed - got back to his office before he'd got the coffee.

Done the odd shoe thing too, but both black.

I have done the wrong shoe thing before as well not even different colours different styles also arrived to work many times with things inside out.

[Matt Evans]

Not me personally, but one of the graphic designers I work with managed to drive to work in his slippers and not realise

[Pothole]

my Mum made us laugh by doing this a few months ago (the shoe thing). She's 80.

Dear reidy79,

one nearly and one definitely:
I got the car out of the garage one morning ready to go to work and realised I was still in slippers.
At work when I realised I had odd shoes. Nobody noticed as they were very similar. I have two pairs of black brogues, one well worn for work and one smart pair for, well, other times. I had picked one from each pair

regards,
Jet

I put my suit on once and realised at work the trousers were brown and my top was blue.

Tasteful.

[WorAl]

Wasn't there a thread on this a while back where someone put a shoe and a trainer on.

Custard isn't strictly necessary, a tea bag or similar will do

[Quaint]

I get around this by having 2 pairs of identical black Oxford caps for work. I'm not even sure any more which shoe is properly paired with which.

Apologies for the crappy pic it was on the iPhone but I think you can see the effect

No tea bag I am afraid I took the pic before reading this

Must be today, it's raining
