Our casino had just opened with a strict dress code. We decided to have a date night at the Casino. So, I made the cutest little black dress with a matching coat/jacket, and hubby looked stunning in his dark grey suit. I felt a million dollars. At the casino we were walking about checking all the tables, pokies, food areas, etc. We walked over to buy some gambling chips. While waiting for hubby to return I could feel something on my legs, I looked down... it was my PINK petticoat which stood out against my cute little black dress, black stockings, black shoes. I was flabbergasted and at the same point hubby was coming back and he burst out laughing. How long had my petticoat wanted to see the casino, I have no idea.
 
I remember this vividly…I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me!!

At Brownies, I was in a jump rope skipping playoff….and yes the waist elastic in my knickers decided to give way…..and my knickers fell down my legs onto the ground…
I can laugh 🤭 about it now, but as eight or nine year old….it was embarrassing

As a student nurse I had to live in the nurses home, which was not that far from the army barracks and it was common for phone calls between the two looking for company for a night out. I took the call one evening and the serviceman said they were hoping six of us nurses could join them for a BBQ and music evening. We obliged and duly attended the venue. As we all piled out of the car the blokes started laughing uproariously, I had arrived, dressed neatly with hair and makeup done, and wearing………bright purple fluffy slippers! My embarrassment was complete when my slippers were removed and one of the blokes used them as puppets singing “Are you lonesome tonight?” I actually lost my slippers that night.
 
I drove my new car to the local shops. I was making every excuse to take it out, purely from the novelty point of view, as I'd never driven a car that did most of the driving for me before. I left the vehicle, pressing the 'one beeb, I'm locked' button on the door, and off I went, with a spring in my step, to the supermarket.
Returning with my purchases, I opened the driver's door, sat in the seat, ready to head for home, but when I pressed the 'go' button, all manner of lights flashed on the instrument panel.
Abject panic set in, and the only one I could interpret was the light telling me the battery was flat. I waited a while thinking it might just be a technical hiccup, but no, the battery light shone bright and there was no sign of life in the motor.
My next move was to phone my son, the mechanic, and in a state of fluster, I explained my predicament. After a short pause, he asked me where the key fob was and I answered that it was in the back pocket of my jeans. He said to take it out and, with it in my hand, to press the 'go' button again, when lo and behold the engine sprung into life.
Feeling extremely embarrassed, I realised that as much as modern technology is there to assist us, it can't operate when it's smothered by kilos of flesh.
