hopefully you weren't giving a presentation that necessitated you turning your back on everyone at any point during the meeting?
Might explain some funny looks.
I am now wondering about the exact ratio of "laughs due to my great comic material" and "laughs due to not being able to dress myself".
I'd like to think that "the suits" attributed any scruffiness to being a real writer and therefore operating on a mysterious plane high above them. It probably reassures them that my mind is 100% devoted to writing instead of such mundane things as washing my clothes or remembering which door I entered the room by.
Next time I shall try wearing odd socks - that is surely the mark of a true creative genius.
(* None of whom were actually wearing suits.)
Excellent. Tick off another on the list of Things Only a Parent Would Do. Have you had an involved conversation yet about the texture and colour of a full nappy? (damn I'm good - nappy AND colour. Obama has me on quick dial for international relations issues) Have you asked an adult acquaintance if they need a pee? Or if they washed their hands thoroughly after? These are all vital milestones in your journey towards complete enlightenment - although sartorially I think you're already there.
Can we assume it wasn't a V-neck?
I think there is a definite inverse correlation between intelligence and the ability to dress yourself. I remember a tale about the cleverest person I ever met whilst at University and a job interview he attended at a top Pharmaceutical company. He crossed his legs mid-interview, and there, poking out the bottom of his trouser leg, were the pyjamas he'd forgotten to take off before dressing that morning.
Nice lad though.
Megan - Also saying "Look! A tractor!" when there is no one under 20 in the car.
Mr Angry - Yes, I am not an idiot.
*Checks jumper to make sure*
I worked with a guy years ago that accidentally wore his t-shirt back to front one day. We all knew it was back to front because it had a pocket over the right shoulder blade.
I saw him in the late afternoon and commented that he'd now got his shirt on the right way round and his reply was, "yeah, no bastard told me!"
If you always buy jumpers that look exactly the same back, front, inside and out, and remove the labels at once, you can get months of wear in between washes.
I'm surprised it's taken you so long to cotton on to odd socks. My son did that as soon as his first child was born and has never looked back. Or down.
Hello and welcome, Steve. Perhaps he was trying to give up smoking and had cunningly put his cigarettes out of reach.
Z - The only thing to look out for then would be rogue Fuzzy Felt sticking to your lower back.
Damn, Z beat me to it - I was going to suggest that back-to-front if not a cardigan or v-neck should be carry-off-able, but outside-in would be showing those lumpy seams which would be a dead giveaway.
Apparently Diana Vreeland, one-time Editor-in-Chief of Vogue said, "I always wear my sweater back-to-front; it is so much more flattering".
So there.
