Have you ever worn 2 different shoes?

[CathyCanada]

One of my more embarassing moments was a day that I wore 2 different running shoes to my job at a drug store. It was dark in the closet when I pulled them out and they were very similar. Fortunately I worked behind a counter and not many people saw (other than my co-workers who pointed it out!)

LOL I have done that!! I wore two different white sneakers to work but I lucked out and got through the day without anyone noticing!

I was a senior camp counsellor one summer and I stayed, um, rather late at another counsellor's cabin. I had snuck out in the dark, not to disturb anyone, and when I got up the next day in my own cabin, I had two different shoes. My roomie never let me forget it.

I wore a cotton top inside out. I was at MGM solo. Didn't realize I had done it for a few hours. When I washed my hands I saw the silly tag in the reflection in mirror.

No excuse except that I am blonde.

I split my pants and no one told me.

i always have matching shoes on, so i must have it together, right? WRONG! just recently, i went to work, only to be told, after a few hours there, and by the maintanance (sp?) man, that i had my shirt on inside out! i had to act cool, when i just wanted to run screaming out the door; not because i had my shirt on inside-out, but because the size tag (gasp!) was in plain view! several people noticed and i eventually slipped into the restroom to fix it.

now and then, i ask the maintanance man if my clothes are all on in proper order and he gets more embarrassed than i do! all in a day's work!

No, but my boss did! ROFL! She wore one black and one brown in the same style.

This story took place about 12 years ago.

The Place: My Aunt Judi's House
The Time: Thanksgiving

My whole family got together for Thanksgiving (around 25 people at the time). We had two youngins at the time, both under the age of two years old. My cousin had bought a new toy for her son, who was sitting in a high chair for dinner, and I happened to be sitting next to him. The toy was called "Stand Up Man", and it was the most stupid toy ever manufactured.

The toy was a baseball player, made out of plastic. It was in a batting pose. And on the bottom of the toy was a huge suction cup, so that you could stick it to the tray of a baby high chair. My nephew and I were having a grand time playing; I would lick the bottom of the suction cup to get it wet, then I would jam it onto the tray, and he would spend 3-4 minutes taking it off. Great game, right???

Well, this was Thanksgiving, and there had been two football games earlier in the day, and I had a few drinks in me. And after 30 or 40 times, the "stick 'Stand Up Man' on the tray, take it off, and have Uncle Brian put it back on" game was getting a little old. So came up with a<b><i>brilliant</B></i> idea!!!! I licked the suction cup on the bottom of "Stand Up Man", moved my hair out of the way (no flat top at that time ), and stuck him on my forehead. Man, did my nephew love it!!!! And I had my entire family in stitches!!!! "Crazy Uncle Brian...Look What He Did!!!" One of my finest comedic moments!!!!!

Well, after a few minutes, the laughter died down. It was time to take "Stand Up Man" off my forehead, and get down to some serous Thanksgiving Dinner!!! I grabbed the suction cup at the top and peeled it down my forehead. My brother John glanced at me and then busted out laughing at me, even harder than before. Then everyone starts laughing hysterically. I didn't know what was so funny.

My mother finally blurts out, (between laughs), "Go look in the mirror!"

I run into the bathroom, move my hair out of the way and cannot believe what I am staring at. A two inch round HICKEY on my for head. That's right, a TWO INCH ROUND HICKEY, ON MY FOREHEAD!!

I trudged back to the table, my head hung in shame, looking like a giant lamprey was attached to my head. The family gets another round of laughs, at my expense, and my Dad mutters....

"Crazy Uncle Brian"

Not to me, but to DH just recently.

About 2 weeks ago, I was at the pediatrician's office with DD for her yearly check-up and my cell phone started ringing. I was in the room waiting for the doctor to come in, so I answered the call. It was DH and his voice was low and sounded somewhat alarmed. He tells that we HAVE to meet for lunch, I ask what's going on. He is whispering and says he can't tell me what it is about, but we absolutely have to meet for lunch. I ask if it has anything to do with the boys, he says, "No".

The doctor comes in and DD has her check-up, then it's "shot time" so we waited for the nurse to come in with them. I was really concerned by DH's secrecy, so I called him back and told him that he has to tell me what all this urgency is about. Then he sends me a text-message on my cell phone. BTW, I saved it and it said, "I'm wearing two different shoes!!! You have to bring one of them when we meet for lunch".

At this point, the nurse comes in and I'm laughing my head off. She just gives me a strange look and I told her what happened. Now, she starts laughing. So, I met DH for lunch and gave him his shoe in the parking lot of McDonald's.

He didn't want anyone at work to notice, I can't really understand why. He told me that during one of our calls, there was someone in his office and the guy kept walking away when he heard DH whispering. So, he had to tell the guy about his shoe problem!

We went out to eat one night and I grabbed 2 different tennis shoes. I didn't even notice it until right before I got out of the truck. One shoe was totally white, the other was white with navy blue. One was flatter heeled than the other too. I walked lopsided.

Another blonde here who wore 2 different shoes to work once, of course a co worker had to inform the whole building and i hadn't even noticed yet!

Once, i had a pair of black pants on that didn't have a real secure zipper, of course I was in front of a crowd of people doing a presentation and a co worker pointed to my zipper (of course i had on white panties, so it was very noticable ) I didn't want to just pull it up and bring more attention to my problem, so I put the papers i was reading from, in front of my fly, so between being VERY embaressed, I forgot what i wanted to say, and didn't dare raise the paper from in front of my wide open door! .

[doxdogy]

I haven't , but my mother did once. I think she was taking me to test for my learner's permit. She had dressed in the dark to keep from waking up my father. We were standing there in line and this gentleman turned around and asked her if she knew that she had to different color shoes on. Sure enough, she looked down and had on one white shoe and one bone shoe.

 

[Kermit]

DH did it once when we were engaged. They were both brown hiking-type shoes, but different brands and different looks. I haven't made fun of him about it in a while. Thanks for reminding me.

It happened to me at the funeral visitation for my grandmother about 9 years ago. I found a great deal on Bandelino dress heels, so I bought them in 4 different colors. At the funeral home, I looked down when I got out of the car and had one black and one navy! I had a black print dress on. It wasn't real noticable because the one was dark navy but I slipped away between the afternoon and evening visitations to run home and get the right one! My cousin kept asking me where I went, so I told him, he razed me about it for some time!

A couple of years ago, on New Year's Day, I took the kids shopping with their Christmas gift certificates to Bob's Store, and as I wandered around by myself, I noticed I had two different sneakers on. Probably no one would have noticed...what I'm sure they did notice was the crazy lady having a massive fit of hysterical laughter and snorting, hiding behind clothing racks. They probably thought I had had a rough New Year's Eve.

 

[Jeafl]

Yes! My first day back to work after maternity leave right after my oldest DD was born. I was running late because I didn't know how involved it would be to get DD and myself ready in the morning, and I accidentally grabbed 2 different navy pumps. They were about the same heel height, but the styles were completely different. I lived too far from work to go home and change, so I had to endure the ridicule all day.

These are too funny!

When you wear two different color shoes just tell everyone that you must have gone color blind over night!
