Wide load sign
 

I was squaring up my quilt on the living room floor, measuring across the top, middle, and bottom, and then down the right side, middle, and left side. As I measured, I wrote the measurements on a piece of painter's tape (e.g. left pointing arrow, 94" right pointing arrow) and then I stuck the tape in place. All that crawling around on the floor tuckered me out, and when I was done, I put the quilt away. Later that afternoon I did some shopping-- pharmacy, hardware store, farmer's market, grocery store. I met a quite a few people I know and had a visit with most of them. That night as I was getting ready for bed, I took off my jeans and tossed them on the bed. Right across the butt of my jeans was a crosswise piece of tape--left pointing arrow, 93 1/2", right pointing arrow. There's nothing like wearing a wide load sign!

ROTFLOL! At least I don't feel so bad about my rear having its own zip code... LOL!

Thanks for the belly laugh. Sounds like something I would do. joyce j

:D:D:D Made me laugh for the first time today! :D Thanks for posting!

Sorry, but that is sooooo funny!!! Thanks for the laugh. I've done things like that before and it always cracks me up. I'm glad you took it so well. Cute story!

That's so funny, still laughing, sounds like something that would happen to me. Have a joyous morning.

Oh my! I'm lost as to why not one person that you talked to said anything to you. Of course, I'm also the person who would let a complete stranger know (in a tactful way) that his zipper is down! I'm reminded of the time when I worked at a bank downtown (80's-early 90's). I was crossing the street and a lady came up behind me and touched my back. I was wearing one of those blasted shirts that had the buttons all the way down the back. We stopped in the middle of the crosswalk and she buttoned the 3 buttons that had come undone! She said she just couldn't let me walk around with my camisole showing! I was appreciative!

Wonderful story, I am sure each one of us has done something similar......be it thread, or pins, or sewing needles, or a post it note......just think of all the people that you put a smile on their face....

Sorry, but it is too funny!!!

Thanks so much for sharing -- great laugh for today!

Now that 's really funny! thanks for sharing this .. I will always remember ... Check my butt!

Hysterical! but better you than me :)

How funny!

Bless your heart! Thanks for letting us laugh with you! I now have tears running down my face, from laughing so hard! :D

Very funny, sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves and let it go.

FUNNY! My first laugh of the day.

So, did you laugh when you discovered it? I would have been ROTF if it happened to me.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D To funny!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Laughing with you not at you!

Kind of gloomy and overcast here today, so thank you for a great ray of sunshine and cheer:D

I got a big kick out of your story, couldn't stop laughing. It reminded me of when my agency was moving from one state building to another and my boss patted me on the back and ask me how it was going, needless to say he had put a lost sign on my back saying take me to room 143. The state prisoners really got a kick out of that one.

I also laughed for the first time today!!!!! Just yucky overcast weather here and I'm not feeling too well so just been reading the QB and cruising the internet. Needed a good laugh WITH you!!

Oh My...What a hoot! I can just imagine how the people that saw you giggled inside. At least the painters tape was hopefully blue as well as your jeans.

That's hilarious!

Not what I was expecting, ROFL.....how funny.
At least no one grabbed it to take it off for you. Jeesh......
My dh put on some new jeans and as we left the house I noticed the clear sixe strip running down his leg was still there. SO glad I saw it and pulled it off before we got too far.
Thanks for the giggles. Laughter is always good medicine....:)

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it!

ha,ha,ha, I'm sitting here at 11:30 P.M. This is so funny. You made my day too.

Your story cracked me up! If it makes you feel any better, I walked across a major bridge at rush hour with the back of my skirt tucked up into my waistband. I thought all the honking was because I was hot.

OMG! I once came out of the ladies' room at a large wedding reception with my dress tucked into my pantyhose in the back! (Remember pantyhose?) I was so embarassed! I walked halfway through the room before I felt something wrong, looked back and pulled it out. My behind was all out there!
I love the wide load story! That is hilarious! Ijust wonder what the people who saw it thought it was...

Thanks for sharing that. Sorry but I laughed.

F-u-n-n-y!!! Thanks for my 1st laugh of the day!!!! Life is wonderful, isn't it????
Bless your heart for sharing.....

So sorry you're not feeling well Nanamoms. Laughter has a way of shaking the blahs away. I had such a belly laugh yesterday that as I think about it, it brings a chuckle to my heart. I had been having heel pain for weeks, but thought it would eventually "go away." But yesterday morning it was so bad that I called the doc's office for an appt. I was amazed when she asked if I could be there by 10:15 (It was 9:30). I zipped over there and was called almost immediately. When the doc came in, he said: "Let me see, it must be your right heel giving you trouble." I said, "Yes, It surely is the right one." Nothing more was said, but in the back of my mind I kept wondering how he must have come up with that. When I walked to the xray machine, I asked him how in the world did you know that it was my right foot. He looked at me, like DUH, you had your right shoe OFF. I was so tickled for being so naive, so BLOND. (excuse me for stereotyping with a blond joke -- but this was no joke). Everytime I thought about that during the day (and still now), I chuckled. I asked him not to tell my sister who works in the office. Long story short, I received an injection and am walking easily now. I suppose the tape on the butt could be any of us. I tell on myself with all of the thread I carry around on my clothes. Friends have become accustomed to it. They will pick off the thread and say, you sewing on something red today.

Oh My Goodness.... what a funny story.....!!!! Sadly, if it had been my butt they would have asked it is was wishful thinking!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Hugs and thank you for a good morning laugh!

Isn't it great that we can laugh at ourselves. I'm sure some of the people you came in contact with were definitely puzzled as to why you were wearing that tape and wondering if they should tell you..

When I read the title, I was thinking, ' If she is making them, maybe I should order one for my backside'. The story is so cute.

Oh my goodness...what a fun thread to read!!! Got a good morning chuckle from these stories...many of which I could picture myself doing!! Thanks ladies for sharing your fun!!

You have started my Saturday off with a big smile. This sounds like something that would happen to me. Thanks for sharing.

That's hilarious!

Oh how funny. Isn't it great that we can laugh at ourselves?

Last month dh and I were at a rummage sale for our volunteer fire dept. We picked up several things and went to check out. Everything had the price sticker except one-somehow it had come off that item. He told the gals he didn't know what happened to the sticker, but that it had one that said 75 cents. They all looked at each other kind of funny and charged us that price. When we got in the car, I looked at dh and started laughing. The price sticker was stuck to the front of his jeans just below the zipper on his jeans!!

Thanks so much for the laugh of the day. I went to lunch the other day and noticed I had 2 different sandals on..
