baby pink pants (the early 80s), period, sitting cross-legged on the grass during lunch...that's all I'm gonna say (except it was a boy who told me which made it worse)

I heard one time that someone once, while wearing a skirt, ran out of a workplace bathroom with said skirt tucked into her underwear by accident. This person walked down a work hallway with her ass hanging out and didn't stop until someone (thankfully a woman) saw her and got her attention. I have no idea who this person is.

I was 19, walking down the street, wearing a cute little tank top I'd just bought. A car full of young men pulled up to the curb and the driver asked me for directions.

A full six months later I happened to be wearing the same top, bent over, glanced down, and realized that it gaped clear to my navel. Since I generally went braless at the time, it finally hit me that the nice young man hadn't actually been complimenting the top.

That was 20 years ago, and I still feel like an idiot.

If your audience was made up of geeky runts like me and my friends, I am going to say that you WERE.
