Most mortifying moment:
In 2000, I lived in an apartment in a very small town that had only one fire department. My dryer was way too hot: but no smoke or flames were visible. I debated not calling, then finally called the station, to see if one would just come check it, in a car.
A minute later, I heard the sirens...the entire fire department was in two trucks, three firefighters in each. Full coats, boots, helmets, hose, and tools. They yanked my dryer out onto the sidewalk and opened the door, whereupon the smoldering clothes inside burst into flames. They start yanking them out with tongs and squirting water...on my load of panties and bras! Plus, it was December and bitter cold, so the clothes were freezing to the sidewalk.
Then they LEFT...dryer and burned, frozen underwear. I had to scrape it up with a putty knife, lol, while my neighbors watched. Sadly, the earth did NOT open up and swallow me. At work the next day, the joke was: how many —-city firemen does it take to put out the fire in Beth’s underwear? ALL OF THEM. ?
Ya’ll got a story?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.When I was a waitress, I waited on two young sailors. One man asked about me.
"I just graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelor degree," I replied. "I moved West to climb mountains. I'm taking classes in economics and statistics to prepare for graduate school at the University of Washington."
"Wow, you've really got your shit together!" he replied admiringly.
"No she doesn't," his companion replied. "She works here, doesn't she?"
His mean words stung. I felt like pouring hot coffee in his lap. But I needed the tip, so I walked away without a word.

Damn. What an ass!
He was a cruel person, too.
Got my car stuck on a back road and I wrenched my ankle... I hiked two hours out of the woods on game trails into a nudist camp. The entire volunteer fire dept. showed up to get me to the hospital.
That was in 2002. I bet they still talk about me.

You gotta love the pure enthusiasm of volunteer firefighters! I bet they wanted to see the nudist camp, too. That’s a great story: best of all, you survived the adventure and have the story to tell?.
@CarolinaGirl60 !hey immobilized my entire leg with their new air splint too!
I figured out they had always wanted to get into the camp - just like every other human being. I'm still grateful it is was Fall.
After graduating with honors from the University of Michigan, in a recession, the only job I could find was as a waitress at the Ribber Restaurant in Tacoma, WA.
We had to wear Bavarian whore uniforms: a low cut bodice- lots of white ruffles- on a short red dress with the back of the skirt cut out. Underneath, we wore white panties with horizontal layers of ruffles on the butt. It looked like a diaper. For modesty, I added white lace to the chest area.
You can imagine the comments from male customers.
The Puerto Rican manager (I called him Ricky Ricardo) tried to motivate us at staff meetings.
"And when you're a-leanin' over the table, you're a sellin' a-that, too!" he told us. The feminist in me was screaming.
"How badly do I need this job?" I thought, weighing my options. It took enormous self-control to keep my mouth shut.
One day, stepping out of the car at the restaurant, I felt a breeze. I forgot the ruffled panties! Thank goodness I was early. Ran home to get them.
After a year of humiliation at the restaurant, I was hired as a program director at the Tacoma YMCA.
Shortly thereafter, the Ribber Restaurant went out of business.
