Newbie mistake, fair enough. I was fairly amused to say the least, but my S.O. has a kind soul, so she headed over to make him aware of his mistake. Just before she reached him, she abruptly turned and started walking back. I swear she was quivering.
When she got back I asked her what was up and she told me he also had his shorts on backwards!
Reminds me of the time, a thousand years ago, on our first day of high school freshmen football practice, a guy was late for practice and suited up for the first time - all alone. He put his hip pads on backwards. He thought the pad that protected one's tailbone was to be worn in front. He didn't hear the end of that for a long, long time!
