Glad to see you were able to remedy the situation without too much complication. Just be careful, it is super easy to get a UTI or other infection from wearing tight, wet shorts for too long. The pH levels are super sensitive.

You know they say the smart person can learn from other's mistakes, which was never me, but come Monday I am bringing to my locker a spare set of underclothes that way I will never run into this issue. As yours was fairly easily remedied mine would not be. Thank-you for sharing and letting some of us learn the easy way.

lol I would have just gone barefoot if I forgot shoes... or maybe I would forget them on purpose

The worst for me probably would be forgetting pants, or a shirt. Or my belt since I've lost 20 lbs and most of my pants will fall down without one.

One time was enough to convince me to leave a spare at work also.

I always keep a full change of clothes, toothbrush, paste, a comb and a razor just in case. It comes in handy.
