Don’t even think about denying that this has never happened to you.
With the cold weather coming in, I purchased a new jacket. And, as with every new clothing item, tags are omnipresent throughout the article – including stickers. (You know where I’m going, don’t you?)
Well, it has been about three weeks since my purchase and I just noticed something…
Yep! I’ve been walking around with a nice little “M” sticker on my chest. And, I never noticed it until today!

This is a somewhat “gross” story, but still funny in the re-telling:
A few years ago we had a receptionist, a very attractive lady, dressed nicely and always well presented. She was a gracious and kind lady, clients liked her and she enjoyed interacting with our clients but she was not well liked by her immediate co-workers. (I worked in a different department, and she and I got along just fine)
One morning the receptionist was not feeling well and had made several visits to the ladies room.
Her co-workers (mostly males between the ages of 25 – 48) began snickering and trying to hold back laughter.
Feeling better, the receptionist agreed to run an errand for her co-workers, thinking that a bit of fresh air would do her some good.
She returned to the office less than 20 minutes later in full hysterics, crying, and totally mortified…..
She had been walking around with the back of her shirt tucked into the back of her skirt which had somehow became lodged into an akward position of the hem of the skirt being tucked into the back of her waistband, and she was “flashing” as she was walking.
Not only that, but she had a trail of toilet tissue dangling from places that it is not supposed to be dangling …….
Her co-workers had sent her out like that!!!!
So – that little “M” tag, NO problem!!!
My guess is, no one even noticed. Either that, or maybe they thought that one of your kids put it on your jacket. My youngest daughter “gifts” me with stickers on my clothes all the time (and of course, half the time I forget they’re on there, and walk around like a dolt with Dora stuck to my hips!
It’s a good thing you realized it before you washed it. Once you wash an article of clothing with a sticker on it, forget about it. It’s a permanent resident then!
Ha, just this morning I noticed that my co-worker had an S sticker adorning her top (don’t worry, I told her so that she could remove it). I think I was more embarrassed for noticing it than she was for leaving it on. I hate those stickers!!!
You were just letting people know what size you wore, in case they were too embarrassed to ask. Right?
You know….for Christmas presents and such.
So, now that I know….where should I send my gift.
Don. I didn’t know you were that small.
Anyway. OMG, Don. That’s so bad, but sooooo funny. I think that has happened to me.
I think that has happened to a lot of people. Don’t feel bad. It could had been worse. A hole in your shirt or. Nevermind. LOL
Too funny, maybe they just thought it was part of the shirt and that’s why they didn’t tell you. You know a new look…..or something. Don’t feel bad, I have been striken with walking around with the sales tag still on, but yet again it was on the bottom of my shoe. Ha
Don, check your fly…..
What DID cause you to notice it?
Could be “M” for “Mum” because I’m sure she’d find it when washing..!
It could have been worse, what if it was one of those electronic barcodes buried within the jacket, you would have been activating the scanners at the shops.
That’s because you are M-arvelous! hee hee
