I'd like to, unfortunately it's 0900 here and I have a meeting with one of the kid's teachers in an hour. Wouldn't do to roll up in the school reeking like a boozehound, covered in breadstick crumbs. Afterward, all bets are off!

Maybe they'll overlook the crumbs and breath if you show up in uniform, helmet and all;)

There's already too many alcoholic teachers running around. I wouldn't want to be an enabler.

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.

I recently broke my zipper mid trip. The zipper first got jammed, so I pulled it and it broke. While walking around with my fly down all day was somewhat unsettling, the extra ventilating breeze was surprisingly refreshing. I mean its no Gold Bond, but refreshing none the less.

Haha, you sound like me. Everyone calls me Mother Hen as I have just about everything one would need in an emergency (or wardrobe malfunction ;) etc.) It's nice to be able to handle just about anything Murphy's Law throws at you and help a fellow crew member out...

Had something similar happen. 15 minutes before van time at 5:00 am, I tore the inseam to my pants from about 3 or so inches above the knee to about 3 above the ankle. I ran downstairs and got a sewing kit and did a crummy patch job. I didn't move out of the seat pretty much all day for fear I'd rip the patch job. I now fly with a spare pair of pants.
