guess what i forgot to bring today...
 
underpants!

so here i sit in my office, jeans, t-shirt, and spandex underneath. nobody will ever suspect! i guess in all my preparation this morning i left out a rather important piece. oddly enough, the chamois feels kinda nice on my crappy ikea chair. first commute of the year so i was bound to forget something. but it was a gorgeous morning in seattle today; so i guess that makes up for it.

what did you forget today?

Well atleast you didnt forget to bring your underpands AND pants...

jeff-o 04-30-07 09:19 AM

I never forget anything.

But I should bring more food than I usually do.

So you're gonna wear your bike shorts all day? Dude, you got jeans - go commando and hang them shorts so you don't have stuff growing down there by the time you get home.

I agree with Chipcom!

that is a very good point, but i do have rather loose pants... i'll figure something out. i probably head out to a place downtown at lunch and just get some underpants for the rest of the day.

Let Mr. Winky Go Free!!!! :D

I did the same thing on Friday. I rode in with full-length spandex over my bike shorts, and reluctantly used the spandex as my drawers. It was hot, but I went to the Mariner's game that night...it was a little chilly by then, and things balanced out nicely :) This morning I brought in an extra set for if (when, probably) it happens again.

I did the same thing last Friday, went commando until lunch, and then ran over to a nearby dept store. I left one pair in my locker as an emergency pair if I forget again some day.

I agree with just going commando, but I have forgotten basically everything at one time or another: helmet, headlight battery, gun, uniform, socks, underwear, phone, keys, etc.

chipcom 04-30-07 09:45 AM

I keep one complete set of clothing at work - for emergency use only.

You forgot your 'gun'? How did it become detachable - barbed wire accident? :eek: :D :p

I knew the answer before I looked. It's happened to me also. Thought I had some at work when I didn't.

Freeeeeeee Ballin...

FWIW I keep an entire spare change of clothes at work. I rarely touch it, but it's there if I forget anything. Most-used item? Socks. If it rains, my feet get totally drenched, so I pull out a nice pair of dry socks from my emergency stash. I just have to remember to bring another backup pair with me the next day.

My belt... :( and between the U-District Street Scramble yesterday and the ride in this morning, my pants are just loose enough that I have to keep hitching them up like I'm trying to be the most hip-hop gangsta engineer ever.

Engineers represent, yo. *hitches up pants*

Me too, plus other spares too like light batties, tubes, and wipes. So far I've had to use my spare belt and wipes.

I forgot my detachable front blinky light this morning.

I also forgot my gun. Today I will have to do all my battles with my bare hands (lethal weapons).

Another one with a detachable 'gun', has the CDC gotten involved in what must be a huge barbed wire accident trend in this country? Screw the helmet, I'm gonna start wearing a cup! :eek:

I'm still getting flak about the day I forgot my office shoes and had to run around in my sneakers instead... last June :rolleyes:
