Stupid, Stupid Superstitions!

8 Mar 2005

Where on earth did the superstition originate from that says - 'if you mistakenly put an item of clothing on back to front, it is bad luck to take it off and put it back on the right way'??? confused

:?
I have spent the entire day in extreme discomfort, due to the stupid, vindictive person who 'invented' this superstition, and the fact that Kat's sleep patterns force me to get dressed in murky darkness every morning for fear of waking him from his slumbers mad

Somehow, in the murky twilight of the bedroom I managed to put my knickers on back to front this morning rolleyes

No problems, if said knickers were my 'comfy Bridget Jones' ones, but no; today I chose my bestest white lacey thong as I wanted to boost my self confidence and feel good cos I was giving a 45 minute presentation to a 50 strong conference :shock:
Jumped in the car, arrived with a few minutes to spare, nipped to the loo first and that was when I noticed :shock: :shock: :shock:
Now if any one has ever worn a thong back to front I am sure that they can appreciate my extreme discomfort being on stage for 45 minutes with 50 people focussing directly on me, trying to be sooooooo professional and calm whilst all I can think about is the bloomin thong splitting me bloomin difference redface

ops: :oops:
I held tight onto my marker pen, I swapped it from hand to hand, I gesticulated and indicated profusely at various points during the presentation, willing my hands to resist making the necessary crucial adjustments needed. :oops: :roll:
I walked up and down and wiggled a bit, wriggled and tried shifting my weight from one foot to the other, I clenched and unclenched, but the bloomin lacey stuff would not budge, it just got tighter and tighter around me bits :shock: I looked for a chair, I could feel beads of perspiration beginning to break out on my temples, no chair - panic!
I now confess, that in sheer desperation, I purposely dropped my marker pen and ever so slooooooowly bent down to retrieve it, allowing the necessary adjustments to take place naturally :twisted:
I finished the presentation and made to head for the loo when some smartarse decided to ask a question :doh: Needless to say I passed the lovely, lovely person's question to my colleague to answer and bolt

to the loo to make the crucial adjustments to get me through the remainder of the day lol

:lol:
Relaying this tale to Kat made me wonder just how many others are a slave to stupid, stupid superstitions?

Kit, hoping she is not alone and who is now going commando when presenting at conferences

Oh Kit!!! worship

Just be grateful you were in discomfort and not extreme comfort ......... could've been a gentler pair of knickers, strategically settled and had you cumming every 10 minutes in front of 50 people :shock:

I learnt this one from my mother.
However I got my wires twisted - I had mistakenly thought that it was putting clothes on inside out and its bad luck to put it right - but that it was ok to take it off.
I recently confronted her about this and she told me that it was actually if the clothes were on back to front and taking the offending iten was bad luck.
So....
Have I been invoking the bad luck spirits with my actions????

An absolutely splitting tale Kit.
Sounds as though the lacey bit enjoyed itself though - getting stuck in like that!!

Superstitions don't bother me as I have a lucky charm which I twirl around my head three times before bedtime to protect me from their effects.

Oh Kit. After a hard day of installing, re-installing, uninstalling, reinstalling and eventually shouting at my computer ('cos it does work - I promise) - that has just made me laugh for the first time lol
