Commuting - One of the dangers of commuting...

You might forget to pack your belt and have to walk around all day holding your pants up!

I have forgotten socks before. My smiley face DeFeet socks give casual business attire a whole new meaning.

I once forgot my work socks and was forced to wear bright yellow DeFeet cycling socks with Hula-Girls on them for the day. I was amazed how many folks pay attention to socks.

At least you remembered the pants/trousers! You would've looked even stranger walking around just wearing a belt... ;)

Same boat here. Forgot my belt, walked around the office like those kids with their pants half ass.

You could always wear your cycling shorts/pants!!!

I did that for halloween, but then I'm an engineer, I can probably get away with wearing cycling attire cause all I do is sit in front of a PC all day.. :)

I hope you had underwear cool enough for that level of exposure. ;)

Ive learnt my lesson the hard way, and keep a spare set of socks and undies at work.

No, I just exposed my butt crack so proudly ;)

That happened to me once; I tied an audio patch cable through my belt loops.

Nowadays I keep a belt, shoes, street outerware, and a complete extra change of clothes in my office. So all I have to transport are underwear, socks, shirt, and pants as needed.

Oh, yes. No belt, no tie, no socks (white gym socks an interesting style choice with a suit). How about this -- no towel. Try drying off with your sweaty t shirt. That was a fun day. Or, how about this -- first chilly day, so wore my skull cap but, oops, no helmet. So, now I follow Rich Clark's advice -- works for all except the helmet. :D

I forgot a belt and underwear once. Went to the nearby Banana Republic & bought one of each. The perky young sales clerk commented. "Oh, stocking up on accessories today?" I spared her the detail that I was going Commando at that very moment and waould soon be putting on what she was bagging.

I once forgot to turn left at the roundabout & had rode about a K before I realized I was suposed to be going to work .I was late but no body noticed ! What a dumb arse :lol:

I forgot my pants one day and had to sprint home to get 'em, and then get back by the time class started. Just did. I now keep pants, shoes, socks, and a shirt at work.

I've forgotten just about every article of clothing there is at least once or twice. The strangest thing for me was when I mistakenly picked up my wife's biking shorts and packed them instead of my own!!

I accidentally packed a pair of my wifes pants once. They looked just like mine except were a little wider in the hips and had the zipper open on the other side. Couldn't figure out why the zipper was backwards, then it hit me what I had done. Luckily nobody noticed it.

Good timing from whoever started this thread. I forgot my change of underwear this morning. I'm also terrible when it comes to forgetting my tie.

This begs a question. If you pack your biking shorts in your bag (or hers in this case) when you ride to work what do you wear while riding? Seems like the might be a bit drafty. ;)

I once packed one of my black T - shirts only to find later it was my wife's. The bra tucked inside it kind of gave it away.

I don't forget things. What happens is that I pack my stuff and then our Hungarian Vizsla pup (now 1 y.o) raids the bag and steals one sock or my underwear and i don't notice when I close up.

i ne er fo get an thing! I ju t don t reme ber som tim s.

I forgot my belt once, too. Bad part was that I had also chosen a pair of pants that was missing the button, which is fine, if you're wearing a belt...
luckily, I had a strap from a reflective triangle that I used instead.

ROFLOL, this stuff is good! I get caught wearing my defeet all the time, and the clients always ask to see what I am wearing today. They like the coffee cups and the penguins (linux rocks). I learned at my last job I commuted to and fro, to always pack the night before, pack in ziplock bags, double bag, and find a place to store it, if you can, so you don't ever forget.

I once rode into work and forgot that it was a public holiday.

It's puzzling, isn't it, when you arrive at work and everythings locked up?

I have forgotten my Belt and socks before. The worst was the day I
forgot my laptop. I turned around and worked from home that day.

Yeah, I grabbed what I thought was one of my white dress shirts only to dress at work and realize it was one of my daughters blouses. I just rolled up the sleaves, although it was pretty tight and it buttoned the opposite way (I don't think anyone noticed).

I got about 18 minutes into my 22 minute ride last summer and realized I didn't have my truck keys with me to get the other 35 kilometres to work. I had to ride back home, then back to the yard again. It upped my mileage for the day, but didn't do much for the productivity at work!
Now I always make sure I have keys before I leave!

naisme has the solution, I always pack and lay everything out the night before. I hate looking for things when I am trying to leave. It saves on stress and means I can roll out the door 30 min after I wake up. I even get to sit at the breakfast table with my wife for 15min and drink my coffee.

Most of my defeet socks are dark so they can be dress socks in disguise. Make sure you turn them inside out. I had a colleague ask me why I had a big red "S" (for Specialized) on my black dress socks.

I have used that trick too. My orange, yellow and black Test Dummy socks just draw too much attention.

Ah, the ol' 'dog stole my undies' excuse. ;)

That excuse didn't work in high school either (with homework, not undies).

No, really, I believe you.

I've forgotten socks, undies, belt, wallet, but the worst one was when I forgot my glasses (I have separate prescription sunnies) and had to ride all the way home to get them.
