Do you guys wear your jeans more than once before washing? Well I do because I am just sitting in an office all day not getting dirty or anything. Plus I only wore them until 5:30 then changed.
So, anyway I went to the gym on Monday and when I changed clothes I put my underwear in the back pocket of my jeans (because they are very small and I didn't want to just have them floating around in the random locker).
So I wore the same pair of jeans today and just now realized that I have underwear in my back pocket. So then I had to walk back to my desk and casually take the underwear out of my pocket and put them in my bag in my desk.
Has this ever happened to you guys?

there was probably room in your shoes to hide them

I complained to a friend who had a premie that waiting for my kid to be born was taking too long. :facepalm:

sometimes i text people stuff not 100% true about my whereabouts and then see them 10 minutes later at a grocery store or something

my previous boss once said "when are you having the baby? you've been pregnant forever" to a woman who had a miscarriage like a week before. he didn't know, but still.

It's only awkward if someone says something about it because then you know for sure at least one person noticed, and it's also even more awkward for that person since they pretty much admitted to sneaking a peek at your junkzone.

came home hammered one night, and in one swift motion, I took my jeans and socks off at the same time, leaving a sock in my pant leg. just threw the same jeans on the next AM to go get breakfast, and about 2 hours later, look down, and there is a sock hanging out the bottom of my jeans. no idea how long it was there or many people saw this without saying anything.. very possibly they thought it was TP.

Boofed major stink fart in elevator when no one was on it, foolishly not realizing someone could get on at any time. Next floor elevator stopped where my suspect (now defendant) got on the elevator with his attorney.

You aren't supposed to wash jeans after 1 wearing. In fact, it's recommended to wash them as little as possible.

I got in a big hurry and I put some other dudes underwear on by accident. They were sitting next to mine at the gym locker room and they were fully engaged before he and I realized.

I get the not washing after one days worth of use, but back to back days?
Mix it up a lil.

I wore them on Monday and Wednesday. I don't know which schedule you adhere to, but in my week there is a day in between there.

Your first instinct was correct. Using passive voice, by definition, negates the need for reflexive pronouns. Mr Bread can co.

When guys are in the locker room, do they regularly just throw their underwear out on a bench so close to other men's underwear that they could get mixed up?

It was that era where all the girls were wearing shirts that made them look prego. You know the ones that are tight like right under the boobs but then are pretty loose and flow down? Like something the girls in Dazed and Confused wore? Kinda like this.

Your first instinct was correct. Using passive voice, by definition, negates the need for reflexive pronouns. Mr Bread can co.
The use of passive voice is irrelevant here. She was incorrect regardless. She had to have "you" as the agent with passive or active voice. The "yourself" could have been properly added as an emphatic/intensive pronoun.
Additionally, her stated intention of communicating that not only did she cause the awkward situation, but was also the recipient of the awkwardness failed even with proper you/yourself use for want of specificity. It is merely possible without being certain.

you: "You too!"

I do this all the time (and almost mentioned it). I'm sure I feel more awkward that the situation actually is.

Pro Tip: Don't talk to anyone under any circumstances about their pregnancy unless you hear someone else do it first. There is absolutely no situation where this is necessary. Best case scenario is that she is pregnant, though still probably won't care for your keen observations skills.

I'm always the last one in any group conversation to congratulate someone on their pregnancy, even then I still feel like it's a trap.

Guy: Well I had to go pick up a car in Virginia.
Emo: Oh ya, you bought a car huh?

Emo: What he can't sell it himself?
Guy: Well he just died.

When you text someone in the afternoon/early evening asking them if they want to drink that night and they don't respond. Then you run into them hours later at the bar. Even if they honestly forgot to respond it's still a little awkward.

When I went to the rec today(4:45ish) the lady said "Just fyi we close at 6 today"
All I said was "Thanks" instinctive because they normally say something else.
It felt weird leaving it at that, but I just walked away NGAF.

Ordered a drink last night, server did the old, "My name is blah blah, just holler if you need anything." I said, "thanks, blah blah." He then apparently made to shake my hand, but my head was turned. I saw a look of horror on my gf's face, and when he lowered his hand and walked away, she filled me in on my crime. Embarrassing, but probably even more embarrassing for himself.

How many drinks and/or food items did you order? I'd like to set the over/under on the number of times he licked, spit in or slurped your stuff.

No food items, I think like 4 drinks, but fortunately they have runners who deliver all the stuff, so he would have had to really go out of his way to intercept my drinks. It was an honest miscue. No malice.

Maybe he just went all in and gave you the tip once and was done with it.

Or ran his finger around the rim of his bad person and then around the rim of your glass.

skip the parts about asking how his family is doing.
-
I never ask anyone how they are doing or more specifically how their family is doing. I do not actually care in the vast majority of situations and also what if things are terrible for them and then there we are. I also tell everyone generic dumbfuck that asks me how I'm doing or extensions thereof fine or normal or medium, because they also do not care and I do not want to discuss it good or bad.

if you want to class up your response, try using the french term, comme ci comme ça, when asked how things are going.
a) sets your response apart from your peers. did mr.bread just return from a weekend junket in paris?
b) adds a classy french note to your conversation. pm me for more details
c) makes people proud that you talked to them in french. "hey cindy, did i tell you how mr.bread responded to me earlier? IN FRENCH!"
-
Sometimes if people ask me how I'm doing I repeat the question two times stressing different words each time and then I scream zut alors in their fat rough ridin' faces and say that's how I'm doing. Class. #swancityoverdrive

i forgot to mention that it's important to think about your response before answering in french. adds a signature "i care about this response" feel to the encounter. make your face look like you're doing a robert deniro impression and wave your so-so hand.
if i were to ask you, "how are you doing bread?" and you quickly snapped out an "ah bien et tu?" i would know you're full of crap and just handing out canned responses. i would then think less of you, because who does that?

I put my hands on my hips then take a deep nose breath inhale and then slowly look down at my shoes as I exhale through my mouth and then I raise my head up lips pursed and gently shake my head side to side and then chuckle slightly. Then I answer.
It gives the response the kind of gravity that makes the listener feel like they are being dragged to the ground. I do that and you will be sitting on your duff accepting my words. So deliberate, so considered you feel it in your body parts as a seemingly cosmic inner tugging.
Oh hey, is that Bread getting asked a question by clams? Looks like he's really thinking about that answer. Is clams sitting down on the ground Indian style? Wow!

that's a very intense approach you've adopted. kudos. i might borrow parts of it*.

I engage in conversation with others only so long as it provides me with actionable intelligence.

usually people ask me "whats up?" to which i would normally say "not much" but I began to get worried when people asked me this at work they might think i was really up to not much so i changed my response to "just gettin' stuff done"

I usually respond with, "Just livin the dream, man. Livin the dream.".

sometimes i say "just doin' my thing" or "Just Doin' It"

"What do you know?" people are just the best kind of people.

Every once in a while I throw out a "what's happening". Just keep ppl on their toes.
Also, "hey, there" works just fine in response to "what's up".

But you didn't really answer their question of "What is up?"

No one actually wants to know what is actually up. If they do, well, a good confusing reply will disarm those weirdos and send them packing while scratching their socially awkward heads.

sometimes i will just respond to a "what's up, name?" with a "what's up, name?" of my own. like good afternoon basically.
i certainly dont want to know what is actually up

We had a mandatory safety training session after work once. I didn't know it was mandatory until I had already spent an hour at the Marine bar (it's Ramadan, so almost everyone leaves at 3, including the guys I needed to talk to, so I had nothing to do).
The session included a lengthy segment on gas masks and how to use them, featuring a guest volunteer. At the end, when he was "safe," the guest volunteer dramatically ripped off his mask, revealing himself to be the #2 guy at the embassy, at which point I yelled out "Hey, it's Enrico Palazzo!"
Two guys laughed (but they laughed really hard).
