Oh Sparkplug!!
Sorry to laugh at your troubles!! I too have had those days where everything that can go wrong does, and you just have to have a good cry!!
I'll share a top story with you. I had to go for a group interview for my Employment Insurance last year. There were about 20 of us in the room. I was running late and grabbed a white shirt from my closet. When I was doing up the buttons it seemed strange, but I was rushing. Went to the interview, sat in this room with the 20 other people, went out to lunch with my mom. She came back to my house for a visit and I was sitting on the chair talking to her. I turned my head to look over my shoulder and noticed my top. I had it on INSIDE OUT!! Here I was for most of the day wearing my shirt inside out!! Thankfully my hair is long enough to cover the tag!! Or there was the time I could't decide what to wear to work. I had first decided on a black top - so naturally put on a black bra. Took that off and tried on a few other tops, finally deciding on a white blouse. Only thing is I forgot to change my bra!! Got to work and took off my coat and hung it up. The closet doors are mirrors. I took one look in the mirror and gasp!! White blouse - black bra!! Grabbed my coat and told my boss I had to run home would be back in a few! I've seen people do that (black bra, white top), but not exactly proper attire in my office!! lol
And washers!! I went through several used ones until we finally broke down and bought a new one. I was tired of having the darn things break down by not draining the water. I can't tell you how many times I had to wring out soaking wet clothes and haul them down the street to the laundrymat!!
