This was somewhat embarrassing
Today I decided to wear a dress to work. I put it on, looked in the mirror and my pale white legs just look too white here in Florida, so I put on a pair of control top panty hose.
As it happens, I spent most of my day sitting down, setting up some software and teaching my client how to use it all.
When I finally stood up to leave (everyone else in the IT office was gone already), I could tell that my panty hose had slipped down a little - but not a lot, I was sure I could make it through the hospital and to the car with no problem.
Boy, was that a dumb thing to think.
This is a very large place - I was walking through the hallways and was nearly at the main lobby when I could tell my pany hose were slipping - quickly.
Every step I took forced the damned panty hose to fall down farther.
Before I knew it, they were at my knees.
Yes. At. My. Knees.
The waist of the pantyhose was at my knees.
Fortunately, I had a dress on that hits me at mid-calf.
I stopped walking - I looked around - the closest ladies room was about a block away from where I stood (told you this is a big, big place).
There was a chair about 10 feet away - I shuffled over to the chair - in the humongous lobby - and attempted to surreptitiously pull the panty hose up - but I realized that was impossible.
So I finally just took off my shoes and pulled them off.
In front of the world.
Fortunatly, no one said anything to me.
Geeze, I hate panty hose - especially the so-called Control Top types.

Twenty years ago I was walking through the grocery store with my girlfriend (18) and her mother (attractive 40). I was pushing the cart walking behind the ladies, and as mom walked along a pair of frilly panties appeared and fell out of her jeans pants leg.
She was mortified, and I laughed until I almost wet myself.
After that she learned to separate her clothes when she pealed them off at home. Since she claimed she still had on underwear, we determined that the offending clothing was inside the jeans after being washed and dried.
She did not claim the panties--we just walked away...

I am still laughing. I also have had pantyhose fall down around my knees, and panties fall out of my pant leg.

Damn, I hate when that happens.
Funny story.

I usually have the dryer sheets fall out of my pants leg, personally. And I also detest panty hose of any kind. Torture devices, if you ask me...

When Bryan and I got married, he wanted me to wear a garter belt with thigh-highs, so I obliged. However, the belt started to slip, and by the time I got to the reception it was down around my hips.
Knowing this just would not do, I went to the bathroom and removed the offending garments. I replaced them with with a pair of backup panty hose with this really pretty bell on the ankle. I bought them at a bridal shop about a year earlier. I pulled them out of the packaging, and started gathering them up in my fingers to put them on. I heard this crackling sound. It was very unusual. Like elastic breaking. DOH! I realized the crackling was the waisteband elastic! ARGGHHH!
But, it was my wedding, and I didn't want to be caught hose-less when we did the whole garter belt/bouquet toss deal, so I put them on anyway. I pulled them waaaaay up and tucked them in my panties, hoping beyond hope that my little lace number would hold up the hose.
It worked. For a while.
While dancing, half way through the reception, I felt them sliiiiiiip down my thighs. I was laughing so hard, and trying to tell my friends "My hose are falling down!" over the music. "WHAT???", they said. "MY HOSE! THEY'RE FALLING DOWN! SEE!!!!" I hiked up my dress just a little, and there, neatly pooled around my ankles, was my pantyhose.
Boy, I've never wanted an embarrassing photo taken before then, but I sure wish someone would have taken a picture of me with my hose around my ankles, laughing my ass off!

I'm still convinced that pantyhose were designed as a communist plot against women. I. Hate. Pantyhose.
