Hey Pandas, Can You Tell Me About The Most Embarrassing Thing You’ve Ever Accidentally Done? (Closed)

i'm an old fart now - almost 66 - and this happened when i was in my 20s:

i was working at a military base at the enlisted servicemember's club. it was a large establishment that had a dining room, a game room, a casual bar and then a very large dance room. the casual bar was right next to the dining room. i worked as a server in the dining room during the dinner hours and then later in the dance room. when a customer wanted a drink you had to go to the casual bar for the order. also, we were trained that we had to use trays to carry all food and drink so i became very good at carrying the large trays of food at shoulder height with one hand and carry the tray stand in the other to use when presenting the plates to the customers.

fridays were always very busy in all areas of the club but especially in the dining room due to the all you can eat seafood buffet. while the establishment was designated for enlisted personnel it was not uncommon for officers to come in for the buffet. and, although there is the saying of commissioned officers were 'officers and gentlemen' this wasn't always the case as it seemed the officers were the ones that would be the most annoying with their sometimes very forward flirtations.

on this particular friday, which fell on a payday, the place was rocking in all the bars. the dining room was packed with not only military personnel but families as well. at the peak of the night

2 of 2 - i guess i can't leave you hanging just because i hit the wrong key!

as i was saying, it was the busiest part of the night when the ice had to be replenished at the server station. i went into the kitchen to get bucket of ice and while walking away my skirt got caught on the handle of the walk-in atthe seam and ripped. it was small hole and it could be covered by moving my
apron over a bit so i didn't think anything of it.

so here i am, back on the floor and needing to get a large order out to a group of young servicemen. i get my tray up to my shoulder with one hand and the tray table with the other and start for the customer's table. but, as i am walking i start to feel something move under my skirt. with each step i could feel my panties slipping and sliding down my legs until finally they just drop to my ankles. (to clarify, i was wearing string panties and apparently when the handle ripped my skirt it also managed to break the little string on my hip.) i am totally mortified but with no hands available to anything about it i just casually stepped out of them and very very quickly walk away while looking to see if anyone noticed anything. feeling relieved that there weren't any eyes on me, i deliver the order quickly and then retreated with the intent to nonchalantly scoop them up but they were no longer there!

i look around to see if anyone was close by and nope - it seemed that they just disappeared. while the experience was unnerving i really didn't feel too embarrassed at that moment and was just grateful that no one had witnessed the event and let it go. there was no way i was going to ask if anyone had seen a pair of panties on the floor.

after the dining room closed around 10pm i moved over to the dance bar to serve. that was when the embarrassment kicked in. because in the midst of the rock and roll music blaring and the dance floor being packed i see that my panties are now being tossed from one part of the dance floor to the the other. i did realize that no one knew they were mine but still it was so humiliating to see those cute chonies being passed about and used as a prop for jokes for the remainder of the night.

Might lose my job over this embarrassing thing I did only recently. Actually, I probably will know if I do tomorrow.

The embarrassing thing is, I should have known better. I just didn't think of it. After decades in this industry. I'm speechless about my own stupidity.
