Wide load sign

I was squaring up my quilt on the living room floor, measuring across the top, middle, and bottom, and then down the right side, middle, and left side. As I measured, I wrote the measurements on a piece of painter's tape (e.g. left pointing arrow, 94" right pointing arrow) and then I stuck the tape in place. All that crawling around on the floor tuckered me out, and when I was done, I put the quilt away. Later that afternoon I did some shopping-- pharmacy, hardware store, farmer's market, grocery store. I met a quite a few people I know and had a visit with most of them. That night as I was getting ready for bed, I took off my jeans and tossed them on the bed. Right across the butt of my jeans was a crosswise piece of tape--left pointing arrow, 93 1/2", right pointing arrow. There's nothing like wearing a wide load sign!

Sorry, but that is sooooo funny!!! Thanks for the laugh. I've done things like that before and it always cracks me up. I'm glad you took it so well. Cute story!

Oh my! I'm lost as to why not one person that you talked to said anything to you. Of course, I'm also the person who would let a complete stranger know (in a tactful way) that his zipper is down! I'm reminded of the time when I worked at a bank downtown (80's-early 90's). I was crossing the street and a lady came up behind me and touched my back. I was wearing one of those blasted shirts that had the buttons all the way down the back. We stopped in the middle of the crosswalk and she buttoned the 3 buttons that had come undone! She said she just couldn't let me walk around with my camisole showing! I was appreciative!

Wonderful story, I am sure each one of us has done something similar......be it thread, or pins, or sewing needles, or a post it note......just think of all the people that you put a smile on their face....
