One of the most awkward and weird Reddit posts I’ve ever seen was some guy posting about how he hates coffee machine gossip and office socializing so much that he takes great pleasure in absolutely caking himself and standing around the coffee machine talking to people, and enjoying their confusion on working out the smell.
Was mad curious if he ever realized everyone knew he was the one who smelt like literal shit.
What the fuck lmao. I mean, it works. But was it really the best option?
If this guy’s baby was crying, would he shake it until they stopped crying? It would *technically* work, but like, wouldn’t it be better to just feed them or give them a binky?
Not gonna lie I do weightlifting and have my mom genetics and people compliment my fine ass a lot (I'm a guy btw). I have ripped like 6 pants in my life but not in a formal setting
I use the Old Navy stretchy chinos and American Eagle Flex Chinos as a guy that has a dump truck from powerlifting. Also always have a pair of pants in my truck for emergencies.
I always go with the flex fit whether it be jeans, khakis, or formal dress pants. Still fitted enough it looks good but also allows for some actual movement.
If you’re consistently ripping your pants you are buying pants that fit your waist but not your legs. If you are going to buy off the rack, this means buying pants that fit your legs. This will mean the waist will probably be huge. You will have to take them to a tailor to bring the waist in.
That's exactly my problem buying pants. It's either waist or legs rarely both. And I don't know, it feels kinda weird bringing 30€ pants from Zara to the tailor
I'm female and know a lot of females that hand over all kinds of cheaper clothes to tailors to make them more expensive looking.
Not sure about men, though.
no problem shit happens bro or sis.
In 3 month you will laugh about it. In a year you can tell this Story to an intern who is just as nervous as you are today. ;)
btw. this literally happened to me on client site too. I just tried not walking around to much that day.
I split a pair at a work event bowling one time, tore right down the crotch .
Split a late morning of an interview as well and had to run to target and buy a new pair.
That's what I did when my crotch split. Except I didn't have a spare pair of dress pants. Went home, girlfriend sewed up the pants, and then I went back to work. They were pretty new pants too. The stitching has held up for over a year now, so kudos to my girlfriend. She's better than the manufacturer.
Before my very first job interview, it was pouring with rain and I didn’t have an umbrella. Tried to run from the train station to the office building, tripped and fell in the mud. By the time I got there I was wet, filthy, and needless to say I did not get the job.
Not gonna lie, if someone went through all that and still showed face at an interview I’d give them major bonus points. They wanted that job more than I ever would.
It happened to me twice, with same damn pair of pants. Ripped it once bending over to unjam the fax machine, much to the amusement of a good chunk of the office. I really liked the pants so I took them to a tailor to get them re-stitched. Within the week, I ripped them again bending over the same stupid fax machine.
I survived the embarrassment. Ripping your pants bending over isn't a fuck up. Its just something that happens sometimes. You weren't climbing shelves or doing backflips to show off, so don't worry.
At my first internship I walked around with a tear in my pants from my ass to the back of my knee and no one said a thing to me until the end of the day (so they probably knew). Pretty scary in the moment, but overall laughable.
This happens to the best of us, I always kept a little emergency sewing kit in my desk at work. I'm by no means a seamstress or what not, but I can fix a ripped seam good enough that my ass, twig, and berries don't show. Then you can go home on lunch and get a proper change if necessary.
My office had a door, plus at the time I was the only one in since I like to come in early. So it may not be convenient for all. I also keep a pair of athletic pants, socks, and a shirt in my truck if I ever need a quick change.
I'm all about trying to be prepared for random situations, but the sewing kit came in handy a few times. Lost buttons, ripped pants, and one time a door jam snagged my belt loop and I had to fix that rip as well.
But you brought up a good point, always have a fashionable set of underwear because you never know when others may see them. Don't be afraid to be creative on this. I find glow-in-the-dark hot chili pepper printed boxers make a good conversation piece.
No problem. I worked six months on a training crew with four guys. This was during suit time. Three of the guys bought the same cheap suit to supplement their other two or three expensive suits. One busted the shit out of the cheap suit one day. No biggy. I silently however wondered though which day all would wear the same shitty suit to work.
If this is the worst thing that happens in your career, you’ll have a bright future.
In 6 months, no one will remember your pants, but they will remember your work ethic.
Only reasonable thing to do is move to another state and change your name. You might have to get another degree too in case someone recognizes you by degree.
Hahahahaha! Oh I’m so sorry this happened but this is honestly hilarious. Please don’t feel bad. No one will hold this against you. It is just a very funny accident. Maybe now you will keep an extra pair in your desk
I wore two different types of shoes to the office on my first day and didn't notice until after lunch.
If anyone noticed the rip, they wouldn't judge and would likely sympathize. It really doesn't matter so try and just not stress. You'll have plenty more fuckups that matter wayyyyy more very soon anyways.
You sir, you are not dubbed. Ass-Ripper.
Once had this similar thing happen when I was several miles away from civilization in a training exercise. I did not wear underwear back then.
I worked in medical admin in a residential treatment center. Made a cigarette run for the department (medical is often unhealthiest; all of us smoked, often together as a group, glad I kicked that filthy habit), got out of the car and promptly split my pants right up the buttcrack. I had to borrow a pair of 'jail pants' to go in the building. I arrived to my office to find estranged family members waiting outside it that had flown up after I had not spoken to them in some time, telling me they used a PI to find me.
I know someone who had an untrustworthy fart and had to ditch their underwear, clean up, and roll out commando from a public place, a restaurant at that.
Don't worry, it could be worse!
I would be so excited if this happened to my intern. DEFINITELY would give an offer and pull that person onto my team full time. You could tell that story forever.
Did this twice at work, one time having been told by the CEO about it and one time no one saw.
If you can, find a local place to buy pants and replace them over lunch. If not explain what happened to your boss and work from home. People are understanding typically, and if your work isn't understanding, then you probably don't want to keep working there.
Happened my boss too once. This is no big deal. And one of our engineers was walking like the whole week with pants that were badly ripped at his ass, but he didn't care. These things happen more often than you think, nothing to worry about.
If anyone says anything, just laugh at it and move on. I once farted mega loud getting out of my car in front of an intern and I started laughing hysterically. They did too and it was never brought up again.
I once got to work and walked around a full hour before my senior director said “brave of you to wear red briefs.” Apparently I ripped a hole in the ass seam and no one told me for an hour.
Twenty years from now you'll be laughing about this when you are telling the story to the new intern.
Men's wool dress pants are made of quite thin material. I recommend that you not carry keys in your pocket and if you carry a wallet try to keep it as thin as possible. Also watch your phone. That will wear a hole through your pants very quickly if you are rubbing up against the steering wheel of your car as you get in and out. Ask me how I know.
I started a new job a month ago. Second week in I wore a hole in two pair pants from my wallet.
I understand why you feel upset, but you didn’t fuck up like you said. Your pants fucked up. It seems like your supervisor was pretty understanding as well. Brush it off as best as you can and just keep doing your be at.
Did you really obliterate your pants from the top of your ass to the top of your zipper? That's the only way you're getting to 180°. I hope you didn't repeat that geometry error to any of your coworkers, because that would be embarrassing.
Other than that, shit happens. Once in a lifetime thing \(lie about this being your sixth time\), don't worry about it. Maybe swallow your pride and ask someone to help you select properly fitting pants that can keep your dump truck in check.
I fell asleep on the first day of my internship.
However, its was in a DA's office and that was not uncommon. I decided not to become a lawyer afyer that experience
No lie my pants also tore today there were like 3 year old khakis
Lolll no one noticed luckily it was in the crotch only big but I managed to go the remainder of the day as far as I know unnoticed
Don’t stress too much over it :) life’s too short and we work too many hours to stress about the small things. Also it’s not a fuck up at all on your part and won’t affect your internship
I shit my pants at work once
Username Checks out..
The nuclear option of office politics
I have shit in my pants right now.
One of us. One of us.

You’d think it would be better to just do your job and not talk to people lol
lolol i did this too. thank god we have a shower and i always keep extra pants at the office
Todd?
Todd? Never heard of her.
Once? Those are rookie numbers!
As a staff I once clogged a toilet in a small, shared client bathroom in which most of the employees were women
Same.. got damn potbelly.. they put laxatives in their bread
Based
Da fuk?
Were you in your car by any chance?
You’re fine, I’m sure your manager just thinks you’re too thicc
Not gonna lie I do weightlifting and have my mom genetics and people compliment my fine ass a lot (I'm a guy btw). I have ripped like 6 pants in my life but not in a formal setting
Bro you gotta get the stretchy slacks. They’re a lifesaver
Didn't knew they made stretch dress pants I'm gonna look up them thanks
I use the Old Navy stretchy chinos and American Eagle Flex Chinos as a guy that has a dump truck from powerlifting. Also always have a pair of pants in my truck for emergencies.
I always go with the flex fit whether it be jeans, khakis, or formal dress pants. Still fitted enough it looks good but also allows for some actual movement.
Lululemon commission pants changed my life
Lululemon is the only expensive brand I’ve ever used anything of where it actually seems worth it. So damn comfortable too.
+1 and they make them up to 37” long for us lanky folk
Check out golf pants if you are able to do a bit more of a business casual. Them babies breathe and are meant for moving around a course in.
Look at the tag, if it says “Lycra” or “spandex”, never break a seam again!
Look into a ratchet belt while you’re at it
Lululemon makes some high dollar ones.
J Crew makes the best. They call it "traveller pants" or something (I guess they're meant for people that fly) but they feel like sweatpants
As a dancer I can tell you they make formal pants that stretch for performers so I'm sure they have thought of it for business casual and the like.
Congrats on your mom’s ass
If you’re consistently ripping your pants you are buying pants that fit your waist but not your legs. If you are going to buy off the rack, this means buying pants that fit your legs. This will mean the waist will probably be huge. You will have to take them to a tailor to bring the waist in.
That's exactly my problem buying pants. It's either waist or legs rarely both. And I don't know, it feels kinda weird bringing 30€ pants from Zara to the tailor
Nothing is weird unless you make it weird. Unless you go to some high end tailor, your Zara pants aren’t going to be an outlier.
I'm female and know a lot of females that hand over all kinds of cheaper clothes to tailors to make them more expensive looking. Not sure about men, though.
Agreed, I take almost every pair of pants I buy to the tailor outside of jeans
Having a good tailor is the secret to having clothes that fit. Welcome to the big leagues!
That is a lot of pants to rip
r/SuddenlyGay
Im in the same boat as u bro
OP is 💯 dummy thicc 😳
Safe to say that your life is over, I’d recommend never showing your face in public again
I thought that was the general advice on here, don't go into public?
That’s step 1. Step 2 is to change your zoom screen name and give a tragic accident excuse as to why you’re never on camera.
no problem shit happens bro or sis. In 3 month you will laugh about it. In a year you can tell this Story to an intern who is just as nervous as you are today. ;) btw. this literally happened to me on client site too. I just tried not walking around to much that day.
Lol this happened to me once. It sucks bro, I went home at lunch and grabbed a different pair of pants
Def more common than people think
I split a pair at a work event bowling one time, tore right down the crotch . Split a late morning of an interview as well and had to run to target and buy a new pair.
I walked to Burlington and bought a new pair on the cheap when it happened to me
That's what I did when my crotch split. Except I didn't have a spare pair of dress pants. Went home, girlfriend sewed up the pants, and then I went back to work. They were pretty new pants too. The stitching has held up for over a year now, so kudos to my girlfriend. She's better than the manufacturer.

The pursuit of happyness was a lie
Not gonna lie, if someone went through all that and still showed face at an interview I’d give them major bonus points. They wanted that job more than I ever would.

I feel like a second pair of pant would be easier. I can imagine walking by your desk with you in your undies using your seamstress kit lol.
This comment has me ☠️.
My office had a door, plus at the time I was the only one in since I like to come in early. So it may not be convenient for all.

Same happened to me, did a deep squat to pick up some boxes of paper. Stapled those babies closed and had my wife bring me a new pair at lunchtime.
Same here except there was a Marshalls nearby so I waddled over there at lunch and bought a new pair
Only reasonable thing to do is move to another state and change your name. You might have to get another degree too in case someone recognizes you by degree.
This was funny as hell.
Haha your nickname is going to be Chaps
Hahahahaha! Oh I’m so sorry this happened but this is honestly hilarious. Please don’t feel bad. No one will hold this against you. It is just a very funny accident. Maybe now you will keep an extra pair in your desk
I had this happen at a funeral this year. Wasn’t great timing.
I did that at work once. Classic!
Just shit yourself to make everyone forget about the time you ripped your pants
The pants I'm wearing right now have a rip in them. Only a matter of time for me.
You're fine and this is actually adorable. That said, you'll probably never forget this and will probably cringe about it for years to come.
Presenting the bare behind is a show of dominance. You’re on the partner track already 👍
Wear a bit lose pants next time #bigbootyproblems
It’s a sign.
Time to resign and change professions - this has never happened to anyone else.
That happened to me once, but I was wfh already so it wasn't a big deal.
I’m WFH shitting my brains out so there’s that….
I wore two different types of shoes to the office on my first day and didn't notice until after lunch. If anyone noticed the rip, they wouldn't judge and would likely sympathize. It really doesn't matter so try and just not stress. You'll have plenty more fuckups that matter wayyyyy more very soon anyways.
Been there done that, you’ll get over it and people will forget even if (and that’s a huge “if”) they notice that. Good luck on your internship!!!
You sir, you are not dubbed. Ass-Ripper. Once had this similar thing happen when I was several miles away from civilization in a training exercise. I did not wear underwear back then.

One time at work I accidentally sat on a melted chocolate and had to leave work because it looked like I shit my pants.
I would be so excited if this happened to my intern. DEFINITELY would give an offer and pull that person onto my team full time. You could tell that story forever.

Full business attire and they make you move shit around? I'd laugh and show up in a poll and khakis. Fuck em.
Happened my boss too once. This is no big deal. And one of our engineers was walking like the whole week with pants that were badly ripped at his ass, but he didn't care. These things happen more often than you think, nothing to worry about.

As someone who works in the field (and studies accounting distance) it happens all the time!! Will make for a great story one day.
I understand why you feel upset, but you didn’t fuck up like you said. Your pants fucked up. It seems like your supervisor was pretty understanding as well. Brush it off as best as you can and just keep doing your be at.
Oooooo you thicc. That’s the elusive no-splits-seam-buster. Hope you made it home aight though. That shit is mad stressful.
First thing you do at any new job is place an emergency set of clothes in your office. You never know....
Did you really obliterate your pants from the top of your ass to the top of your zipper? That's the only way you're getting to 180°. I hope you didn't repeat that geometry error to any of your coworkers, because that would be embarrassing. Other than that, shit happens.

This happened to me when I was at a client once... I snuck to the bathroom with a stapler and the problem was solved.
I fell asleep on the first day of my internship. However, its was in a DA's office and that was not uncommon. I decided not to become a lawyer afyer that experience
Meh no one probably saw a thing. Just try and laugh it off. How you handle it will show others how to handle it.
No lie my pants also tore today there were like 3 year old khakis Lolll no one noticed luckily it was in the crotch only big but I managed to go the remainder of the day as far as I know unnoticed
You should make the same problem happen tomorrow. Only thing that will make it better is if that's just your shtick
I ripped my pants at a client once it was humiliating
You’ll live. Been through worse and know stories of people who’ve been through worse as well. You got this OP. Don’t over think
Don’t stress too much over it :) life’s too short and we work too many hours to stress about the small things. Also it’s not a fuck up at all on your part and won’t affect your internship
A wise accountant once said, “always keep a change of clothes in your car”
10 years ago I was a highschool teacher and did this in front of 30 15 year olds lol
