The one with the tangled Nike shorts

Embarrassing things happen to people. I get that. Really embarrassing things happen to me—all the time. It’s really out of hand. Here’s today’s moment.

So, I woke this morning (as I always do) for my 8 a.m. class in the t-shirt I slept in and also wore to class today. Classy, right? I ran downstairs and grabbed a pair of Nike shorts out of the dryer and there I was: in my school uniform and looking good. If you saw me today, I either hate you or love you.  I love you if you saw me and didn’t notice what was horribly wrong with my wardrobe, and I hate you if you noticed and let me go all day with this malfunction. Caleb Herod: Here's your shout out. You saw me today. Which was it?

And for the rest of you, what was wrong with my outfit (if a t-shirt and Nike shorts even counts as an "outfit")?

As you know (maybe), Nike shorts have built in lining. Well, when I pulled mine out of the dryer this morning, apparently a pair of my underwear were tangled in them.

To clarify, I had panties tangled in my shorts ALL DAY LONG.

It wasn’t until 2:30 this afternoon when I felt something tickling the back of my thigh (I thought it was a fabric softening sheet… which would have been embarrassing enough) that I reached behind me and grabbed my favorite pair of panties dangling from my shorts. I couldn’t speak for a solid 10 seconds.

Lesson learned: De-static Nike shorts and untangle any loose articles in them. And never go in public again.

  1. You were sitting down the entire time I saw you, so I wouldn't have noticed any hidden panties(although all panties are supposed to be hidden in outfits so...).
