Real Life vs. Sitcom Life

Situation: I realized midway through the day that I was wearing my underwear inside out.

How this was discovered - Sitcom version: While running errands in a large urban center, I run into a guy I went on a date with this past weekend! He walks with me to the next shop, but on the way there I walk over a subway grate and my skirt flies up, exposing my inside out panties to the WHOLE WORLD!! I run off, horribly embarrassed. Immediately cut to me in a bar with my friends lamenting how said guy will never ever call me again. My racy friend makes a predictably racy comment ("now you see why I never wear them.") while my sensible friend tries to console me while gently chastising me for my perpetual singleness. ("It's ok! You just need someone more special to really get you and you'll find him! Someday…") Just then the guy texts me to ask me why I ran off so suddenly and if my cute panties and I are free this weekend! I read it aloud to my friends who tell me to ignore it because he's obviously some kind of panty obsessed freak. Cue laugh track!

How this was discovered - Real world version: I went to pee, looked down and said "Huh, I put my panties on inside out. Go me." and went about my day.

Preferred outcome: Sitcom. Sure, everyone sees my underwear, but at least sitcom me has a social life.
