How many people do you know who can say they lost their underwear at the grocery store? Yep, underpants lost at my local Kroger. Now before you start to think that I was getting hinky with the frozen foods guy, let me explain.
I had errands to run so I had to put on real clothes. For those of you who don't know me in person this means actual pants (not sweats or jammie type pants), shirts with no holes & the appropriate undergarments. If I'm at home all day, I cannot vouch for what you will see if you come knocking on my door unexpectedly, but I can assure you that it isn't pretty.
I was at Target looking for some of those new empire-waisted baby doll type tops that are in style right now & flatter my type of figure. You know the body type with extra rolls of fat around the middle & rear, (sorry to have to leave that image in your head.) When I was reaching in my jeans pocket to get out my car keys I thought I felt something in there besides my keys. I dug around & alas, nothing but keys. I hopped in my Mom-mobile (teal colored Ford Windstar mini-van) & ran off to the grocery store.
I got some lettuce from the produce department, started to move on & realized that I needed some fruit so I circled back. Then I saw them. Laying on the tile in the produce department was a pair of my underwear.
You may wonder how I knew they were mine, but I knew it as well as I know my name. Those were my underpants...laying on the floor...in the middle of the produce department...at my local Kroger. They must have been stuck inside my jeans from the dryer. I quickly walked over to the bread aisle & weighed my choices. These were a favorite pair of mine. The kind that don't wedge into inappropriate places, don't droop, sag or show visible panty lines. I needed to get these underwear back!
I casually walked back to produce noticed that there were several people around, but none of them were near my unders. Luckily I was able to kick them into the organic food department & pick them up without anyone noticing. I hope.

OH.MY.GAWD!!!
Thomas always knew, but now the cat does as well....Mommy is crazy! I've been laughing like a crazed hyena for several minutes now!!!
That is sooooo beyond funny and something that could soooo happen to me and I'm soooo glad it didn't! I can picture the whole thing!!! Pam, seriously, you have to write a book with all this stuff in it. You'll be a gazillionaire and then move next door to me! (all gazillionaires want to, don't cha know!)
Love you, you silly woman!
Too funny! I'm not sure exactly what I would think if I saw a pair of panties in the produce department.
When my family and I get together we share stories about most embarassing moments. This would fit right in with the rest of the stories told. HE! HE! Thanks for sharing. Debbi
Now that is just funny. If my husband wasn't sleeping next to me I would be laughing out loud...I am busting a gut. Thanks for the way early morning laugh.
I will be back to your blog again. Laughter is good medicine.
Oh my God! That is hilarious. It's good that you were able to pick them up though!
Mimi! LOL
The security people behind the camera's must have had a great day! ;-)
I am so excited to see you on here Pam! I hope this completely makes your day being featured on SITS!!!
hahaha,... I would have left them,...
Happy SITs day!
I am here from SITS. Congrats on being the FB. Great story and I am sure embarrasing at the time. You can probably laugh about it now. : )
Congrats on FB Mimi! This is a hilarious post - I LOLd! I've only been here a couple of times to say thanks for visiting my blog. I can't for the life of me figure out why I haven't stopped by more often - you're hilarious girl. I'm following now! Thanks for the laugh!
You have some guts Sitsta! I would have left them right there!
congrats on your SITS day :)
i like how you write. very entertaining. :)
Oh man oh man that can only happen to the best of us! LOVE IT. congrats on your feature... found you via sits.. happy day-maryrc
http://marymaryrc.blogspot.com
Oh MY GOODNESS!! This was hilarious!! I bet you were mortified. Great story, SITSta!
That is hilarious! OMG! I would just die. Good for you having the courage to get them back!
THAT my fellow sweat pant, pj wearin' Mama is hilarious. I am chuckling OUT LOUD! I can see it all happening.
Congrats on your feature.
I JUST HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS. VERY FUNNY POST, AND IF I'D HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE PRODUCE SECTION, I'D HAVE COVERED FOR YA! GLAD TO FIND YOUR BLOG THROUGH SITS!
Thats hilarious! Love it! I don't get dressed either, glad I'm not alone!
Holy Shit Mimi that's so funny!
Oh man that is tooo funny!
Funny, funny, funny! What a great story! You are just lucky that someone didn't see you drop them and say "I think you dropped something."
Haha, hilarious. Nice work on the covert rescue mission =]
My husband did the same thing, but it was just at his parents house and not the grocery store :)
Life is certainly stranger than fiction, you couldn't have made up a funnier story! :)
Here you are! I hate when I lose track of a good blogger! Recently my whole blogroll got deleted when my layout changed over and I'm rebuilding all my favorite blogs! Definitely love yours!
LOL to 'flatter my figure'!
Ha!! Knowing me, I would have run away and pretended they weren't mine!! Enjoy the sits love today!
Great Post! Happy SITS day!
I love that you got them back. I think I would have left them there and just bought a new pair.
Great story! A Mommy needs to protect & cherish her favorite undies cuz on some days, those are the ONLY things that are not irritating and annoying. My fav pair had to be laid to rest a few years ago. I was a sad day. They Faded Glory brand but were so ratty my hubby called them Farted Gory. I didn't care. I loved 'em. *sigh*. Sorry if that was TMI. Love your blog!
LOL...too funny
Good morning, I am stopping by from SITS to say hello! Congrats on being the featured blogger :-)
That is worse than the random pair of socks falling out of the bottom of one's pants. Oh well, at least you got them back. Fun post!
I love that you picked them up in the organic section. Too funny!
So funny. I love a girl who can pick up her undies in the grocery store with pride :) Did I just say that?
Ha ha ha ha! That is just too funny! Thanks for the laugh! :)
happy sits day!
I don't know if I would've had the nerve or not. Kudos to you Pam for putting shame in its place! LOL
great post....
Very Funny and glad to know I'm not the only one this has happened to. It happened to me in 7th grade! 7th grade - the height of self-consciousness. Only mine were laying on the floor right in front of my locker. YIKES! Glad you got yours back.
A good pair of undies that don't have wedgies built right in them is worth a little humiliation in the grocery aisle! Glad you got 'em back!
I would have been mortified!
too funny!! Happy SITS day!
I love that blogger instinct to take the most embarrassing moment and share it with the world. Too funny!
Lol
can't believe you actually picked them up!!
Congrats on being featured on SITS!
xx
LOL
Happy SITS day!
Ha! Well, I was standing in the kitchen with my brother as my mom cooked Easter dinner this year and while we were talking I felt a lump on my butt. So I reached in and pulled out some underpants! My brother was shocked and horrified that I could just pull off my underpants in some sort of super wedgie! I waited a bit before telling him they must have been folded into the jeans. Good times....
Happy sits ;)
I would have stopped by victoria secret on the way home. Good for you!
oh my gosh that is so funny. there's nothing better than your favorite pair of underwear. good for you for braving it! :)
Hilarious! Well, glad you were able to retrieve them, but me, I think you shoulda made a production out of it just to get a rise out of other folks in the produce department! Can you imagine how many stories would have gone home across your town??
Happy SITS Day!
Nice! good job being smooth about it.
The underwear from the dryer has been a problem for me twice.
Husband found a pair of little boy's stuck inside his pant leg AT WORK and I had a thong hanging around my ankle while giving a presentation once!
Lol, too funny!
Nice. Can't waste good panties.
OMG!!!!
Hysterically funny!
LOL! you are toooo smoothe! I love it!
Congrats on being the FB on SITS today! You more than deserve it!
lol. too funny
Too Funny! Have a Happy Day!
I think I would have just died right there! LOL
What a great laugh for today...Thanks!
You're terribly brave. I would've sacrificed them to the Target gods, because there's no way I could've made myself do that. I commend you for a job well done!
OMGosh!!! How hilarious and then you even wanted to pick them up! I totally would've walked away and tried actively to forget that!! hehehehe!
hilarious. i'm notorious for walking around with size stickers on my shirts all day and not noticing.
If you've gotta lose them then that's definitely the best way to recover them. Stopping by from SITS!
HILARIOUS! Guess we shouldn't tell you about the security people that watch the store constantly huh? Happy SITS day!
haha how cute! I would do the same for my favorite pair! I think many of us SITS girls would :) Happy SITS Day!!!
Happy SITS day!! I think I've dropped by before, I love your sense of humor. I think I would have been way more mortified, and I'm not sure I could have retrieved my dropped panties so slyly...........but good for you girl! Where do you grocery shop now? LOL.
ROFL! Now that was really, really funny. I know it wasn't funny at the time...but just think, it gave you a GREAT post for your blog. I probably would have just died...and left them there. hehe...probably no one saw on the floor, but they may be replaying the tape over and over again upstairs. hehe
That's too funny.
Happy SITS day! FUNNY story!!! :) I don't that I would have thought to kick them to the next dept. I would have just picked them up with my shame-filled face. ;)
Great and funny post!I can so see this happening to me too.
Too funny!
Have a great SITs feature day!
Julie
Hilarious! Visiting from SITS...
those types of undies are keepers, so glad you didn't really lose them :)
That is so funny! It's almost as bad as when you walk around with undies stuck to the back of your clothes!
You know the security people were probably watching you on their surveillance cameras laughing their butts off. I would have just left them there!
Came from SITS. Love your blog!
BAAAAA! That is so hilarious! So glad you got them back!
Happy SITS Day!
uh uh... not the panties!
Oh my... too funny. :) I am forever having socks stuck to my clothes and not noticing which is embarrasing enough - I couldn't imagine it being my underwear! Lol.
Stopping by from SITS... :)
lol! happy sits day!
Don't ya hate it when that happens? LOL
Saying hello from SITS!
That is too funny. I don't think I would've had the nerve to retrieve them, LOL!
Wow! This is hilarious! I am not sure I would have been able to pick them up...good for you!
I want to laugh so badly, but I fear karma too much!
I think I now know where my odd socks are. And that helps explain some other missing laundry.
Love your story. I know this to be true, accept my panties were not from the dryer.
My husband says he can not believe how fast I can peel out of my clothes. Well there are advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes you forget to check the panties or pantyhose (I know you do not wear these, this shows my age), they cling to the jeans.
Just as in your tale, these undies come out at the most awful times, mine was at a mall. Another little kid was pointing down at my leg. Once again, will all the calm manners I could pull together, I pulled the panties rest of the way out of my pant leg. I am sure, my face was blood red with embarassment.
Its these little moments that make life worth laughing through!!! I'd have died--- you handled things very well!
That would so happen to me! Embarrassing moments happen to me like flies happen to poop. Thanks for sharing and happy SITS day.
This is so funny. I love stopping by here. I am so happy your are featured today. I went to click on your first button on the site that talks about you and I could not get it to work. Have a great day.
Oh my goodness!! I'm so glad you got them!! hahaha, hilarious!
Happy SITS day to you!
Too hilarious! I could definitely see this happening to me too. Now I'll double check all my pants before going out :)
Also - hey! I recognize that house in your Etsy mini in your sidebar. I live in Savannah - Mercer House is one of my favorite buildings.
Aaaand, Happy SITS day to ya!

I would have retrieved them too. Underwear that fits well is a big priority of mine since I can't STAND those little rolls that elastics make (I actually buy a size up to avoid that).
I something like this has happened to me before. But it was a sock - so far more PG-13.
This was just the thing I needed to get my day started off good!!! Thanks for the laugh :)
I needed a good laugh-Thanks!
Happy Sits Day!
That's hysterical! Happy SITS day to you!
HA!!! I would have done the same thing!!
Happy SITS day!
Thank you so much for this laugh, I totally needed it today!! I really like your blog so far, too. Happy featured blog day!
that's so funny! congrats on being queen SITSa!
That's hysterical! Thanks for the laugh!
oh no you didn't! you claimed them. they probably have your security tape on youtube!
Remind me to shake my clothes out when I take them out of the dryer. Hilarious!
So Funny!
Too funny.
I'm glad you got them back, I'd hate to loose a favourite pair - so hard to come by. ;)
That's Hilarious! Sounds like something that would happen to me!
Nice save on your undies!
Yep, I had underwear on thee back of my sweatshirt - almost going into a bank - I said almost.
Hilarious story!
Happy day - being FB. You have a great looking blog.
what a great story... too funny!
happy sits day, girlie :)
That is just hysterical! Thanks for starting my day off with a good laugh!
I can't stop giggling...that's hilarious!!!!!!!!
Stopping by from SITS...congrats on your SITS day!
HA HA HA HA Ha....hugs rozzi
So very funny! I laughed through the whole post.
too funny! I've had this happen with dryer sheets and socks, but never undies! LOL
Absolutely a great story. You write beautifully!
LOL!!!! I would have grabbed my favorite pair too BUT you know deep down inside they have you on camera and are showing it to everyone!
YOU GO GIRL!
:)Lisa
So those where your undies....
That was really funny! At least you got them back!! I'm proud of you, I probably would have left them there. {Brave Woman!!}
I HOPE THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!!!
Congratulations on being the SITS Featured Blogger today. This post cracked me up!! Oh man, I don't know what I would have done!!
with my luck my son woulda yelled really loud.."hey ma, aren't those thongs your's?!?!??!" just dropping by from SITs! hi!
Oh my goodness! That is hilarious! TFS! Happy SITS day!
Man I really needed a laugh today. Thank you for providing that AND a few snorts.
:-)
This is seriously a laugh.out.loud post!!!
Unfortunately, I had a similar thing happen to me, but I was a teenager. eating at the pizza place where the cutest guy ever worked at so naturally I needed to impress him...as I am walking, no I mean Struting my stuff a pair of underwear falls out of the pant leg (Stuck in there from the dryer!) . I was HORRIFIED!!! LOL
How funny! Blasted underwear! If commando were a better option, I think we'd ALL do it!
It could have been worse... you could have lost them in the meat department.
Hysterical!
Happy SITS Day.
Oh my gosh! That is so funny!
Thanks for sharing and happy SITS day!
Congrats on being featured.
I LOVE this post...it totally had me cracking up...here in my pj pants and mussed up hair at the kitchen table.
I have a total fear of that happening!
that.is.awesome...
Too Funny. Glad you got them back! :)
Popping over from SITS! Okay, you are too funny!
You are definitely braver than me. I totally would have left them there!
Visiting from SITS!
That is too funny! I have done the same thing but not dropped them at the grocery store. When I go on vacation, sometimes I put my underwear in the back pocket of my jeans. One time I forgot to remove them before I washed the jeans and I discovered they were still in my pocket when I got to work. Luckily I didn't pull them out. I went to bathroom and put them in my purse! I got lucky on that one!!! Happy SITS day!
HA! Great story. That happened to me once but I pretended I did not know anything and left them there. But it happned at work...
Great story. I think I would have had to leave the panties there though. Happy SITS!
how funny! and somewhat embarrassing...kinda.
have a fun sits day!!
your freekin hillarious
I subscribe to your blog now.
I saw you on sits, actually I always see you on sits.

I bet there was some security guy watching on a hidden camera laughing hysterically! That is a cute story. Lanie
That reminds me of when I was in 7th grade and a pad I had in my pocket fell out during social studies. Ironic? I think so.
That is a classic story!!!!
Girl, for my favorite underwear? I would have done exactly the same thing! Good underwear are too hard to find to just leave lying there! :)
Enjoy your comment overload. :)
See it's so much easier just to go Commando! Then you will never have to worry about what falls out of your pants!
Don't write them off-much can be said for getting hinky with the grocery guy. [Hubby's worked grocery for 4 years!] Though I don't recommend doing anything in the store (undercover security and all).
This post was hilarious!
That is hilarious!! *wipes eyes* I'm laughing so hard! That is a good one, can I FWD it in Facebook? lol
Happy SITS day to you!! =)
OH. MY. This is like the mega load for blogging!
At least they were clean! LOL!
Pantastic!
Happy Sits Day!
Are they now organic?
Happy SITS day!
Yes I most definitely understand that, it seems that stuff like that always happens to me. :) Luckily you were able to retrieve them without incident.
Saying hi from SITS! Oh, lord that was too funny! I can totally see you in the organic product aisle kicking around your undies surreptitiously. Now you can say you have organic undies! :) Great story.
he he, here's hoping that security didn't post this on youtube!
HIlarious! I was laughing so hard my husband came in my office to see what the hell was so funny..
Too funny! That happened to me back in high school where I had my undies stuck in my sweatshirt sleeve. A fun surprise!
Cute blog!

Oh.My.Gosh. It sounds like something I would do! I bet your face was redder than red!
Coming over from SITS!
Holy crap. That's hilarious! I'd of just left them & kept walking so fabulous that you were cool enough to go get them back! Stopping by from SITS. Have a great day!
whew! what a relief.
Happy SITS Day!
OH MY SIDE!! Girl you are a HOOT! I can only imagine your face upon first seeing your panteez laying there. I'm going to have to share this with my other blogger friends.
Thanks for the belly aching laughter today.
Hugs,
Debbie
That's hilarious! Happy SITS day!
Oh my, that was funny! I laughed out loud, that was great!
ROTFL... that sounds like something that I would do! ha ha ha
happy SITS day! :)
LMAO! Hilarious!
LOL! That is a good story, one to share regularly so I can get my daily dose of laughter.
How hilarious, totally sounds like something I would do!
too funny!
Happy SITS Day!
You are just too funny!!
What a great story!! I think you are safe to go back to this Kroger again. Can't wait to read more on your blog!
Something similar happened to my grandmother. During WWII, there was an elastic shortage and they used buttons on their underwear. When she was crossing the street carrying a bag of groceries one day, the button popped and her drawers fell into the street. Being a quick thinker, she did the only thing she could do. She stepped out of them and kept right on walking!
LOLOL Three things:
1)Thank everything good they were a clean pair.
2)I can soo see this happening to me.
3)You are to be congratulated on your quick thinking re: kicking into organic foods. Nobody is ever in there. Nice one.
(I wonder if they got you on camera? You should check youtube)
HILARIOUS! I love it!
Oh my....you know there are cameras everywhere these days! Someone had a good laugh at the underwear saga.
Someone saw you. They were just laughing to themselves. Oh that is hysterical.
Awesome!!
Coming over from SITS!
That is so funny! I'm glad it turned out well!! Came from SITS to say Hi. Thanks for the laugh. Have a great day being featured!
oh, the joys of being a woman! lol.. you poor girl. When I was in the first few lines of this post I was trying to understand how one looses thier undies whislt wearing pants (laughs) now it's very clear.
I went to a bar once and had a pair of undies stuck to the back of my skirt.. my friends all knew it and not one of em told me. I kept getting looks from the men in the bar .. My ego was quite uplifted until I got home and realized just why that was lol ..
You have my deepest condolences my dear!
take care,
Bettie
I totally thought you were going to say you were wearing a crazy stringy thong and a skirt and they snapped and dropped to the floor lol! At least they were clean, just imagine if they were dirty...oh the shame!
T.
and to think i thought i was the only one this happened to except my embarrassment happened when my underwear which had somehow gotten lodged in pants in the dryer fell out as i working as a waitress on my way to a table.
That is just too funny!!!!
This CRACKED. ME. UP! And I totally would have gone after a good pair of undies...Those things aren't cheap!! :)
That's hilarious!
And you have a gorgeous blog.
I can honestly say that I would be mortified to see something so intimate of mine in the produce aisle. Especially if it was a favorite garment. But I have to say I give you big props for thinking it through, collecting your thoughts and not jumping to rash decisions. I now feel prepared and well equipped to handle such an incident! Haha Thanks!
Stopping by from SITS
I would have been mortified and would have had to leave them right there in the produce dept. and go buy a new pair. You are braver than I would have been.
Hope you have a great SITS day.
I can out do this. I was at work and I really had to pee..but I needed to take a picture of an RV...well....I went to step out but forgot the electronic step was shut off...I fell right onto the pavement...it hurt so bad I forgot to hold my pee...so there it went. I had to do some sneaking around..had a friend help me..luckily we had a dryer on premises...but OMG it was mortifying. Nobody knew thank God...except for me and my friend!
Too funny, Too cute, too you!!!
ha ha ha he he he tee hee hee ...
Happy SITS day!!!
What a story! At least you were able to retrieve them. The thought of a lone pair of panties left behind for the stock boys to clean up, is too sad for words.
Oh my gosh, that's absolutely hysterical!
Happy SITS Day!
I hear you on the "good underwear" thing. My brand quit making the kind I have worn since high school. I only have a few pairs left and they are prized like gold!
LOL Just glad you got them back!
OMG! Hi. la. ri. ous!!!!
Too mcuh! But I definitely hear you on the favorite panties.
Happy SITS Day to you!!!
That is SO funny! I love the title/subtitle of your blog, too. That's awesome. Happy SITS day to you!
Happy SITS day!!
That is so funny. I would grab them too, even if it wasn't my favorite pair.
I completely understand. You just can't abandon a good pair of panties!
Happy SITS Day!
Too funny! Pick in aisle 12!
If someone did see you, I don't know what would be worse, that they thought they were your undies and ask all the questions of why your undies would be on the ground, or that they were someone else's and you thought that you'd take them home anyway. Very funny.
Hee Hee that story's a hoot!
Oh my lord! I had the same thing happen to me in junior high. There I was in math class first period- I had been running late and was still asleep when I felt something in the leg of my pants as I sat down...yup panties! I wish I could say they had come out of the dryer, but I know better. Those were the same jeans I had thrown on the floor the day before! Dirty 8th grader with yesterday's undies in her pant leg! Oh the horror!
Halarious!!! Holy Crap that was funny. And here I thought pulling out a dryer sheet was bad. You total have me beat!
Stopping in from Sits, but think I will definitely be back!
Well, I give you a ton of credit for picking them up. If it had been me, my next stop after the grocery store would have been to replace that underwear, because on the floor of the produce section they would have stayed!
Happy SITS day!
Here (although quite late) from SITS! Hope you enjoyed your day!
Over from SITS... sorry I am so late.
This post is way funny. You left me with a wonderful picture.
Hope your day was great!
Oh I love it! You know they had to have caught it on video and that you're famous on YouTube somewhere ;)
Thanks for a good laugh. That was great.
What's funny beyond words is that you kicked it and I'm sure that you will be on some NBC special with your face blurred out (of course) and them saying something like "Now watch this woman. No explanation necessary." :o) It's a hard thing to find undies with a perfect fit. Brava for you that you reclaimed your property!
My best, Lynn
Jeannie sent me the link to this post because I just did a post on the evolution of underwear.
This was too funny. I would be mortified. When I was a kid, though, I accidentally flushed my underwear down the toilet inside Wards. They were my favorite pair. :(
By the way, what font do you use for your post titles? I like it. :)
Too funny! I saw this on the Girl Next Door Grows Up writing contest and the title caught my eye!
Coming from the Girl Next Door Link up...
This would totally happen to me. I've lost socks like this but never panties. OMG. I would have died!
