[Closed] When you ride to work and forget your underwear

Aye been there

Answer depends how warm the office is!

Been there too. Had no choice in my case, as it had been raining and my lycra was soaking wet.

One thing I will say is that if you do go commando, give the old fella an extra shake after you finish going for a wee. 😛

I now keep a spare pair of pants in my work drawer. 😀

[i] lycra shorts under clothes?[/i]

What? The ones you commuted in? Eew! Nasty.

commando ftw.

No one ever seems to forget their trousers and face a 'boxers or cycling shorts?' dilemma.

Commando*

*Unless you model underwear for a living.

Commando until I can acquire some when I've done that in the past!

and waswas, the only time I forgot my trousers I concluded my only option was to ride back for them - 3 x 7 mile commute that morning!

Commando every time for me I've done this.

I now keep a spare pair of pants in my work drawer

I have at least 3 pairs of Danger Pants in my drawers at work now as I'm so paranoid that I don't have a spare pair I keep bringing spare spare pairs in!

i'd take them off and go commando, unless you want some sort of nasty rash!

Commando. Not uncommon for people to spend most of the day here in their cycling clothes, "too busy to have a shower" 😕

On a related note, why do you only remember you've forgotten your towel after you have had a shower? Luckily I now leave one in the office but there is still the what should I wear dilemma to collect it.

Ive got spare drawers in my drawers now, been commando few times. took my shoes home Friday & obviously forgot them yesterday & had to wear socks and put my site boots on to go get lunch. Mens toilets in your socks is dangerous.

Ask around the office for a spare pair? You may be in luck if luscious Lisa has a spare, it may be traumatic if elderly Ethel offers up.

Commando

Lycra shorts weren't sweaty, it was chuffing cold this morning. They are also expensive (but old) ones so don't chafe or anything. However it does mean I'll have to strip off to go to the loo.

and people will think you've lederhosen on under your shirt and trousers.

I set fire to myself in a science lesson once doing a demo.

Spraying salt solutions in ethanol onto a flame to show colours of metal ions, it didn't work, spray clogged up, so in a moment of madness I decided to undo the top of the bottle and pour it on flame - a big woosh and burning green all around. No students on fire, so all good, and then it was pointed out that my leg was burning.

Big 10p and 50p holes up my trousers, had to wear them all day. Ever since I have kept spare cheap trousers in my desk drawer, even though I am now admin.

Not got an M&S nearby ?

^^ why does one remember to check for bog roll 30s after sitting down for a 1000wiper crap in a public toilet.

It's even worse on a day when you forgot your pants, Quirrel.

^ True, pants and if it is your socks as well, you are stuffed.

Forgot my shirt for the first time today, luckily not meeting anyone important and had an old T shirt in a draw, not as easy to hide as underwear!

Yep done the commando thing and using a merino top as a towel.

First thing I do when starting a new job is to bring in a full change of clothes including shoes, a towel, deodorant, mouthwash and a comb and stash it in my bottom drawer.

Always beware the fart that never was.

I've forgotten my trousers once... luckily I was wearing 3/4 length black humvees so I just slouched at my desk as much as I could and I think I got away with it... 🙂

sorry? underpants? sorry, no but I just dont understand the question?

a "fart" sufficiently bad you need a towel, a change of clothes, mouthwash and a comb? 😯

Best lesson ever.

Nip out to Asda for a replacement. With me, it's usually the bra I forget.

Sometimes I forget to roll my right trouser leg down for a few hours. does that count?

I think the mouthwash and comb are for those on the adjacent desks?

I assuming the mouthwash can be used for a multitude of disinfecting and cleaning duties.

The only thing the comb could be for after a bad bottom experience is to maybe comb the clagnuts out?

done this loads of times - you gotta go commando, it's no big deal

School boy error, spare pants, socks, towel and wash kit kept at work. Even try and leave a pair of trousers too, just in case. Always get my kit ready the night before.....proper boy scout me.

commando but remember to update you company email sig to reflect your undercracker status.

"stick around Bennett"

I recently cleared out my desk at work and found (similar to others above) that the emergency undercrackers and socks were in fact 3 pairs of each brought in at different times to be sure.

On a related note, why do you only remember you've forgotten your towel after you have had a shower?

Is that not what rubbing yourself all over the walls is for?

so anyway, ages ago I used to do a lot of meetings via video conference, where you're in a VC room with a camera and screen one end. Couldn't be arsed getting out of the lycra when they were only going to see my top half, like a newsreader, so just stuck a shirt and tie on. Get there a couple of minutes before the meeting connects, no one'll be any the wiser. I'd've got away with it too, had it not been for the fact that half of the people I was meeting had decided to do the London end, and so trooped into the room...

Cue very mild embarrassment and the now slowly dawning realisation I've taken rather a lot of time over an anecdote that turns out to be rather less entertaining written down than I thought it would be...

Spare pair of everything in my desk, and in locker upstairs. But, I can get away with wearing shorts and t-shirt at my desk.

Main reason for spare clothes is the non to common after effects of participants in a physiology lab - if it leaks out of people, I've had it on me :/

Bicarb loading and repeat sprints were probably the most ... splatter evoking.

I forgot my trousers once and ended up wearing my (thankfully baggy) shorts all day. The first person to ask about them I told it was "national wear shorts to work" day, and where were theirs? We get this sort of nonsense all the time so it was accepted without question and quite a few apologies of 'sorry I didn't realise what day it was'. Next year I fully expect that half the office will come into work in shorts for "national wear shorts to work day".

Change into boxers at work?

give the old fella an extra shake after you finish going for a wee.

i always do 🙂 😳

Mmmm this gonna lead into the do you shake or wipe discussion :-p

commandos great in summer..

I keep a spare change of clothes and whip up to Hollisters if i haven't got a t shirt..an keep one of those micro towel things in my drawer.
