I never imagined I would blog about it, until one open barn incident not long ago. I had been on a fairly serious interview with a County Commissioner, and discovered upon returning to the station that my pants were unzipped. I told Angela about it, and she said, "You have to blog about that!" Hence, I divulge.
I have, however, scrutinized my failure to zip and figured out why it is a recurring problem. Patterns. Yes, patterns. I am typically a slacks-wearer when at work, because it's easier to get around and shoot my own video in pants, rather than skirts. It also looks a little awkward for a skirt-clad reporter to shoot her own video. If you wear dress pants much, you should know that most of them have not one, but two fastens. This is often a button, clasp combination. Most other pants, for some reason, have but ONE fasten. This usually being a button. Due to the 1-2 pattern
(button, zip), I seem to leave out step 3 when wearing slacks with 3 steps (button, clasp, zip). Therefore, I subconsciously do the 1-2-out-the-door, rather than the necessary 1-2-3-out-the-door, LEAVING THE GATE WID
E OPEN FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!I hope it makes as much sense to you as it unfortunately does for me. This is just one of the
prices I pay for a fast-paced mind.This little celebrity montage of forgetful zippers makes me feel better. The yellow circle
s are a personal touch. I especially enjoy Susan Boyle wearing hers loud and proud. As you can see she's been doubly undone!Enjoy,

Thanks for sharing your embarrassment, Megan.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you're talking about. I, too, fail to zip 'er up when I'm wearing pants with more than one fastening mechanism.
ReplyDeleteI've also developed a habit of doing the "pinky check" every time I leave the bathroom. It's my discreet way of checking for full closure.
The pinky check--BRILLIANT!
