Clothing disasters...
On my first trip off IOE as a new hire, I squatted to check tire pressure and <riiiip> goes the seat of my pants. My tighty whiteys are blazing forth in glory.
With thirty minutes to go, I mooched one of those hotel sewing kits off the #1 and locked myself in the lav. I sewed frantically while people were boarding 12 inches away on the other side of the lav door.
Total success... except for the scrunched seam with black thread over blue in a hideous frankenstein pattern on my rear. Fortunately, my jacket tails were long enough to hide it.
I never fly without all those hotel freebies, like the sewing kit. Plus, I have a mini first aid kit and OTC drug store in my suitcase. Nothing like a nasty splinter, a cut, muscle spasms, congestion, etc to wreck a layover.
