Office conundrum / happy Friday!

buffalo

I was going to post in PI, but hopefully some posters here can advise.

Every Monday evening I do some gym classes very close to where I work. There are no changing rooms at the venue, just a toilet.

So before I leave the office, I put on some shorts underneath my jeans, and then just strip off my jeans when I get there.

However, this process involves me leaving my desk with my shorts, going to the changing rooms and then swapping my shorts for my boxers.

Inevitably, I am left walking back to my desk with my underpants in my hand. This is clearly unprofessional, and I am very self-conscious of the fact that if any senior manager were to stop me for a chat, it would look more than a bit creepy and disturbing to be hanging around the office with underwear.

What should I do, dear Boardsies?

Put them on your head instead.

Clearly you need to ditch the boxers

Bring your bag to the toilet & Put them in your bag.

Shove your boxers down your shorts.
That way you won't have to carry them, and you'll look like you have a more impressive... ahem... package. It's win-win.

Clearly you need to stock up on these, and flush them each Monday :pac:

You could get one of these and just say i'm going for a dump to read my copy of Eat, Pray, Love.

That way you impress the ladies and you have a place to stash your skiddies

At least we now know what the OP looks like

What do you need underpants for anyway? It's not the Antarctic.

As every cyclist knows....its a layers issue! Shorts, underpants then jeans.

when you get to the Gym, remove your Jeans, then your underpants and your good to go!

Ziplock bag. Secret stash of underwear hidden away in the cistern. That's where I keep my naggins.

Is there anything to be said for trying to burn down your office again to avoid appearing unprofessional?

When you're walking back to your desk put your underpants on your head and stick two pencils up your nose and you might get a half day out of it

How about this, I know it's crazy and completely off the wall but just hear me out....take a small, and this is the crazy part, plastic bag with you and your gym shorts in it. Remove your boxers, put them in the small plastic bag that you had your gym shorts in. Put on your gym shorts and trousers and return to your desk carrying a plastic bag. If anyone asks about it, politely tell them to fcuk off and mind their own bloody business. Crazy, I know but it might just work.

Nice plan.


Needs more fire though.

or just for the first week, put boxers and trousers in the bag, if anyone asks, say accident, and i guarantee they won't ask again.

I change when I get into the office and again before I leave each day. I carry my unmentionables casually in a bag to and from the changing room. You could track my progression through the social ranks by the bag I use, many years ago it would have been a Roches Stores plastic bag, these days it’s a neat little outdoor/camping clothes bag with a roll-top closure on it, I aspire to a Brown Thomas bag with handles.

It has served me well. Except for that time I got chatting to one of the women in the office on my way to the changing room, and my unmentionables flung themselves from the un-closed bag and sprawled on the floor between us with a wordless but very blatant “HOWYA!”. I’m just grateful it wasn’t thong day that day.
