Ever Show Up To Work With The Wrong Colored Fingers?

[Rachel]

Have you ever shown up to work with the wrong colored fingers?
No?
Hmmmm, I just wonder if that has happened to anyone other than me! Thursday we were filming and I was about to go on set when I noticed my thumbs and pointers were ORANGE and the rest were BLUE.

I had no one to blame but myself.... How odd though! Really!

[Kei_as_in_K]

happened to me. Funny though! :D

Oh Rachel, too funny! Nope hasn't happened to me, good thing I work as a SAHM and have no boss!!!

[Admin]

I once showed up to work with my husband's name tag (we worked at the same company) and wore it all day long...until a senior vp pointed it out to me....in the hallway...in front of a bunch of other folks....

Hey, we have the same LAST name...that should've been close enough...right?

[amiller]

It's a sign (ha ha) that you've been working too hard!

Not that we don't appreciate it...

[earthdaymommy]

I think it would have been interesting to see if anyone would ever notice...Oh or maybe to teach oppistes(sp?)

[colleencondon]

No, but I have shown up wearing 2 different color shoes! (one brown and one black)

[MomofJBN]

Now that I have my DD I end up walking to the car that way...then when I sit in the car I notice and have to run back in... :rolleyes:

but once I went to work with my shirt inside out.

[eyeteachpreskool]

My dh wears his shirt wrongside out at least once every few months. I don't typically have the wrong colored fingers, but I have been known to walk out of work with miniature handprints on my butt, usually all made of boogers. Oh, how I love teaching pre-school...

Many, many years ago, I was teaching head start and the mayor came to visit my class. Unfortunately, my kids were finger painting at the time. I'm sure the newspaper photographer was enjoying himself (and I'm sure the mayor's drycleaner had fun later!).

With a baby at home, I just figure I'm lucky if I'm completely dressed, let alone neatly so! (Hey, I only greeted the UPS man with my blouse unbuttoned and the flap down on my nursing bra once...)

LOL! That certainly tops any of my 'oops' nursing stories!

[aligreat]

Before the babies came, I used to be an Ordinance Worker in the Oakland Temple. (For the non-LDS people out there, in the temple we wear all white.) At the time I was also working in a hospital emergency room, and I had just purchased some new purple scrubs that I just loved. I had my nails done to match the scrubs, and when I got to the dressing room inside of the temple my supervisor came up to me and asked, "Sister Greathouse, is that appropriate?" pointing at my hands. I think that my face turned as bright a red as my fingertips were purple. :eek:

I want to hear the rest of the story! That's too funnny. I wonder if they keep nail polish remover handy?

No colored fingers here (well, maybe fingerpainted or stampered or markered or glittered), but I can relate to the nursing story. Once while shopping in the mall and in the same area for quite awhile, my son look down and shouted, "Mom, your breastpad is right there on the floor!!!" for all to hear. Luckily, the department was filled with mostly moms. Unluckily, my son or I have found my breastpads on floors all throughout Sacramento.

Even more fun, just recently, I was at a relative's house and had been nursing my daughter while she was in the sling. She was getting active, so I had put her down to play and picked her back up to nurse several times. I didn't worry too much about fixing my shirt, since I had my sling on and it covers everything. Well, my daughter headed for my brand new niece so I reached down to scoop her up. When I did, apparently the sling hitched up and my entire breast showed itself to a roomful of relatives and even in-laws of relatives who were all watching the commotion surrounding the new baby and my daughter. Needless to say, I had not intended to share so much with the extended family!!

I have lost many breast pads in public places. The most memorable being a very crowded amusiment park.

I have also had accidental exposure problems which included flashing my mother in law and my oldest sons best friend.

Then there are the people who do not realize what it means when you have a blanket draped over the baby. Ya gotta love it when someone comes up unexpectedly and lifts the blanket so they can see the cute baby and they get to see a little more than they barganed for.

Ahh the joys of breast feeding!

My Best friend's MIL did this to her, and my friend was mortified! It was worse because the MIL did not understand why my friend was upset when she bent down to kiss the baby's head! She was so freaked out - "My MIL's lips were centimeters from my breast!" she cried later.

People often try to get a peek into my sling at the little eyes peeking out as I'm walking through a store shopping. And, just like you said, they often see a little more than they planned to!!

That is hysterical!!!!

By the way, we were watching BST! at my sister's today and my son kept exclaiming, that's the little girl on our computer!!! whenever your daughter came on!!

I'd say it's their own fault, then! You know, technically you could charge them for that in most states LOL

Aww, that is so sweet! Anyka has her favorites too - Jomas is one for sure, and Brady, and there are a couple of others she likes. But mostly just herself!

[fia's mom]

but once I went to work with my shirt inside out.

I did the same thing. One of my coworkers asked me what was wrong with my shirt. They said it looked a litle strange. That's when I realized. Thank goodness my hair was long enough to cover the tag in back. How embarrassing for me though! :p

Aly,

Your BF definitely wins this one! But I think we have all lost sight of a very important fact here....Rachel was on set...this means another edition of ST is coming. Yippee!!!! I can hardly stand the excitement! :)

I've done the inside out thing too! LOL Funny thing is my son caught it and he gave me SUCH a hard time because I get on his case for putting his shirts on backwards! That'll teach me! LOL

No finger painted story here but a really funny pumping story!

I used to teach at an elementary school and my school was mostly suportive about finding me a place to pump 3 times a day (it was a supply closet but at least not a bathroom-like principal suggested at first). Anyway, I was given the key to the science storage closet/teacher phone room (and a electric heater since there was no heating in that room-yes cold on the naked boobies) and told that this would be the best place they could work out for me. I had not made any official notice to the staff since it was not really appropiate or needed (I thought). But in the 2nd week back after summer I was doing my thing and heard a jiggle of the door knob. I was not for sure that it was really someone trying to get in since kids touch everything when walking down the hall. So I kept on doing my pumping (double cow) thing. I was soon done and putting myself and pumping things away when I heard the knob jiggle again and then this time actually open!!!!! :eek:

I was covered, but had all the parts to my pump including full milk bottles with cone boobie suckers still attached all on the table still. The male 4th grade teacher took one look at me and my "supplies" and said "oh Sorry " and ducked back out the door!

I later discoved that he was the one to try the door only 3 or 4 mins before. He had been surprised to have it locked, so he went to the library across the hall and got the key from the librarian (who also I guess did not know my uses of the supply closet). He was then using the key to get in, just thinking it was strange that it was locked! He quickly figured out why it was locked!!!! :p

In less than one day from that surprise, I was making a staff meeting announcement of my use of the room, was asked to send out a note to all staff of when I would most likely be "in the room" and was asked to post a sign on the door that the room was "in use"!!! In all it was very funny to me but I'm afraid that Mr. 50something 4th grade teacher was not as ammused!!!!

Hope you all got a kick out of my story-if you made it through it! Sorry it was so long!

When I read that post, I told my DH "Look at this, I think Rachel is drunk!" :p - just kidding, but it's so funny.

I think showing up at work with wrong colored fingers is Rock'n'Roll :D - I mess such a lot these days at work. Perhaps I should show up with wrong colored fingers, have a look what my boss will say...

Becky, I love your pumping story! Think of it as an educational experience for your co-workers! Helping them to appreciate and support breastfeeding and all of its benefits! We have a 'special room' in my company -- it's a private office that our HR department set up with a glider rocker, sofa, and coffee table with magazines for us pumping moms. It got the nickname 'special room' from the 'guys' who couldn't get themselves to refer to it as the 'pumping' room! ;)
At one point there were 3 of us using it, so we made a doornob hanger (like in hotels) that said 'in use'. Once the sign was missing (the cleaning people kept throwing it away!) and I walked in on a co-worker who was still pumping. I felt so bad! Thankfully we were all friends!

Last week I was bf the baby and my older son’s bus came home early. I put the baby down and ran out to get him. Got him off the bus and at the same time our mail man pulled up in our driveway. He gets out and we were chit-chatting when I realize he keeps looking at my breasts. I ignored it at first then finally decide to look down hoping he would get the hint. Turns out I was in such a rush to get my little one off the bus I forgot to button my shirt. It was open down to my navel! :eek: Talk about embarrassing! I was horrified. Did I mention my mail man is a 27 year old hotty? At least the bus driver was a woman. This one was by far my worst oops story yet (at least in the last 20 years). I’m sure they will be talking about that one down at the post office for a while. :o I’m glad it didn’t happen at work though.
