Its only me, isn't it

I've lost some weight - nothing dramatic - but progress is being made, and, all of a sudden, my bras have got loose (well the ones that haven't been through the dryer).  Today I was wearing a particularly annoying one, and the strap kept falling down on one side, which kept leading to OMG THERE'S A SPIDER ON ME moments.

So there I am, driving along in heavy traffic just about to fetch the screamies, and I feel the strap start to slide.  Well I hoick it back into place, and...

No there wasn't really a spider
No I didn't drive into a tree/lamp post/ idiot driving that stupid SAAB
No I wasn't stopped by the police

My hand slipped off the strap as I pulled upwards and I punched myself in the jaw, snapping my own teeth shut and leaving a perfect imprint of all of the back ones in my tongue.

Drew blood.  Really really hurt.

I was just wondering to hubs earlier, is it only me that these kinds of things happen to?

I have a nasty feeling that it is.

sigh.

Despite this I had a good days editing today and got down some new words for Boys of Summer. Hurray.

:)

If anyone knows how to stop bra straps sliding off the shoulder .... please let me know. Mine are forever around the top of my arm.
Had a chuckle at your story Caitlyn, I can picture it happening, sorry.

No, not just you. I know exactly what you mean by the OMG Spider!!! moments, my bra strap gave me one while I was driving, causing me to swerve madly, skid out on the gravel shoulder, narrowly miss a fence, end up facing the opposite way to where I should be and do the frantic monkey-dance on the side of the road to get the imaginary spider off!!

If it was only you, I wouldn't have a 5cm scar gouged into my forehead - self-inflicted by my thumbnail over 10 years ago when I was putting on a jumper and apparently didn't know where my head was.

And I'm with Olive: I want someone to get a grant into working out how to keep the freaking bra strap ON the shoulder. Not embracing it from the side.
