Do you have to check for threads hanging on your clothes before leaving the house?

Between my daughter's golden retriever and my sewing threads I never look completely put togeter right. No matter how much I use a lint roller I still have stuff hanging all over me. In fact, when we needed new living room carpet my husband and I went shopping. When looking at colors he came over to me, picked a bit of dog hair off of me and put it on the carpet sample. When he found one that it didn't stand out on he declared that that was the only choice.

Yes, I have threads on everything...and today I had my quilting club after school and when I went back to my classroom one of the teachers politely pointed out that I had a needle stuck in my top...habit my mother and grandmother had...I have even gone to bed with pins stuck in my chest...and threads in my sheets...
