Did you ever have one of those days you knew you shouldn't get out of bed [modified]
-
I'm walking back to my office this morning and I notice my left foot feels different than my right. I look down to see what is stuck in my shoe and notice that it's the shoe itself. I have on two different shoes. :doh: FWIW, it was dark in the garage and I was very tired this morning. I think I'm going to sit at my desk the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I have to go out into the public for a few minutes to fix a machine. We also have customers here today. Maybe I can tell them I kicked so much *rear-end* this morning I wore out my shoe and had to get another. :laugh: Only 8 more hours to go... :( [UPDATE] So I go to the one machine I had to fix and as I'm leaving someone tells me my shoe is untied. So much for not being noticed. Luckily I work in a small shop so hopefully everyone is done saying what they need to say by lunch. It gets better, I did some minor damage to the machine while I was fixing it. It's going to be a long day... [\UPDATE]

Damn now that's funny! I've worn different socks, but never quite managed the different shoe trick. Good job on that!

Try the back to front jumper trick, wore a crew neck in the office the other day only for my MD/CEO to point out it was on back to front :doh:

Hmm, I'll have to remember that. I have worn a shirt inside out once or twice before, does that count? :)

I have a solution... Only one pair of work shoes. If only they'd let me wear sneakers to work... And jeans... And a tasteful black T-shirt... Man, I'd even take a pay cut if I could do that every day. On a side note, though... I had a more annoying situation a couple weeks ago... Somehow I had managed to get a minor cut in the middle of my back, but hadn't noticed it before. About an hour before lunch, at the office, the friction from my shirt somehow opened it up, and it started to bleed... Nothing serious, but the back of my white shirt had blood stains on it... Spent the rest of the day trying not to leave my chair, until my boss called me into an office for a quick chat (Unrelated)... He never said anything about it...

Of course not, if it was a work related injury he might have had to do paperwork. Better to be quiet and hope the programmer bleeds out away from his cubicle.

I had a semi-related experience (i.e., shoes feeling funny) about a year ago with a pair of new shoes. My wife had purchased me a new pair of high-dollar Carolina work boots from a garage sale for a $10 bill (I found out only later that the shoes were at least five years old given the model/style). They lived in the closet until my then-current shoes were no longer acceptable to wear to work. When I finally got around to wearing them, they felt great. About a week later I was out at lunch. Walking back to my truck the shoes felt funny, sort of floppy/loose. I looked down and the sole had come nearly completely off! I kept wondering how I was going to get back to my office with my shoes sounding like I had on an extra-large, heavy pair of flip-flops. I stopped by the store and picked up a tube of quick-dry glue. When I got to my desk, I emptied the glue into both shoes, and rubber-banded them for the balance of the afternoon. I'm not sure how much longer they would have lasted but I wanted to let the company know of their inferior product. One of their reps called me back later that afternoon and said if I'd send them the faulty shoes, they'd replace them with a new pair. About two weeks later they arrived. The shoes retail for about $110.

I packed the left shoe from both my old and my new pair of dress shoes for my last job interview. I didn't realize the fact until about 30 minutes beforehand and ended up doing it in jacket, tie, and scuffed sneakers. :sigh: No one said a word; and at least one of the interviewers either never noticed or forgot because he didn't remember my oops when I mentioned it after pointing out that he made your mistake.

I'm in sneakers and jeans. Button up shirt though. If it's any consolation, both shoes are Puma.

Grrr... I work for a hedge fund, so jeans and sneakers are a big no-no... Dress pants and work shoes are so uncomfortable...

I did this just last week. I found a nice pair of comfortable shoes for work so I bought a pair in black and a pair in brown (I am female and yes I needed both colors. :) ) I have walked out of the house at least 3 times now wearing one black shoe and one brown shoe but last week I didn't catch it and ended up at work like that. :doh: It made my shopping easier but I have to double-check my shoes every single morning now!

Years ago, I started a new job, and since it was only one and a half miles from home and summery, I decided to cycle in on the first day. Got up, put on the suit and tie, got on the bike, and realized I had no cycle clips - no problem, string will do. At the end of a busy day (mostly trying to remember some of the names of the multitude I was introduced to) I went to leave to go home - and realized I still had the bright green nylon garden string tied round both trouser legs... :doh:

I've worked in places where I've worn tshirt and jeans before. Comfortable: yes. Idiot-proof: No. My PM came into my office to check up on status and I noticed he was looking quizically at my leg, but said nothing. After he left I noticed I still had the tags on my new jeans.
