Panties and Post it Notes.

We had a much needed laugh at work today.  A couple girlfriends of mine came over to the group that I work with and had a tale to tell.  Have you ever had a day when you were walking along and looked down and, hey, low and behold, there is a quarter or a penny facing heads up?  That’s always fun right?  Oh, no, not today.  Today these girls stumbled upon a pair of purple thong panties lying on the floor in the hallway of our office building.  Oh, and apparently, they weren’t exactly little panties either.  Which, and I’m not sure why, makes it seem even more odd and creepy than if they were petite little ones. 

I’m sure your thought is the same as ours was.  How will the company wide email read, that states there is a lost and found item, just waiting to be claimed at the front desk? 

“Attention all employees, a pair of purple thong panties, size medium, slightly warn, have been found in the east hallway on the 2nd floor.  If you think they are yours, please come to the reception desk and describe them.”

It’s not like a bracelet or some car keys.  It’s panties for heavens sake!  Did the person who owns them wear a skirt and just didn’t notice them sliding down with each step until they were off all together and just kept walking?  Did someone intend to be sexy and hand them to their co-worker, whom they are having a sultry affair with and, oops, they didn’t realize they had dropped them, only to be too embarrassed to retrace their steps and grab them?   How do panties end up in a hallway of an office building in the middle of the day?

Surely there is a rational explanation.  It is at least grounds for everyone to realize that a dryer sheet helps cut down on static cling, therefore discouraging your un-mentionables from catching a ride on the back of your sweater to work.   Anyhow, it was a fun thing for a Friday.
