Did you know that military uniforms don’t have zipper flies? They’re buttons. And when you deploy for over a year and wear nothing for elastic-band shorts or button flies, you eventually get out of the habit of zipping anything.
On my army pants, my hands would go button-button-button-belt. So when I put on jeans, I went button-belt. Repeatedly. For months. Every time. It’s been five years since then, and I still routinely forget to zip up. :smack:
After I had gained some weight I had to buy a new suit for an interview and did not get all the tags off. They hired me anyway. (Even though the interviewer noticed - he was courteous though, he never mentioned it until he knew me well.)
Time of completion of dress: 7:30 AM Time of discovery of unzip: 9:15 AM Number of people encountered in the interim: Several hundred, via my daily public transportation commute.
First one to invent some sort of zipper alarm for me wins a prize.*
*The prize is NOT a free show.
