As always to be on horseback, even if you just fell face down from it into the mud.

There is no such person who, at least once in his life, would not get into an absolutely stupid situation. We have collected the most common cases.

1. Came to visit in holey socks

Let's start with the hit of all seasons! Suddenly you were invited to visit, and your socks look like you are feeding moths with them at home. This happens more often with men, but women have the same problem with tights, and they can break at any time.

What to do

Remember the Japanese wisdom: "Even if you need a sword once in a lifetime, you should always wear it." You never know when whole socks will be needed. Therefore, always wear them! What if they broke literally on day X? If you have time, run into any major store.

If it is not possible to buy new socks, use the following samurai tricks: first pull the socks with holes down, and quickly ask for slippers when visiting. If there are no slippers, you can ask the owners if they mind if you walk barefoot. You can quickly and imperceptibly wash your feet in the bathroom, and many men do this.

2. Crashed into a transparent wall

Large glass walls and panoramic mirrors are beautiful, but sometimes painful.

What to do

Be more careful in shopping and business centers, especially if this is a new place for you. If the bruise is very painful, and the wall is really inconspicuous, you can complain to the administration: for sure, you are not the first one like that.

3. Broken heel

“It doesn't matter what the day is, you felt freshness” - if you are over 30, then you probably remember the commercial of the 90s, where a woman breaks a heel, and then, not at all upset, breaks off the second one and happily walks on. The bad news: tearing off the heel with your hands will be difficult even for a man, more likely the shoe will break. In general, now women do not wear heels so often, sneakers and boots are in fashion. But what if this is still your case?

What to do

Store a spare pair at work or in the car. If the trouble happened on the street, and you go to a meeting, take a taxi home to change your shoes. In the case when there is no time for this, and the meeting cannot be canceled, make a broken heel your trump card! So you can say: "Look how I was in a hurry to see you, I even suffered, but I came anyway!" The one who was waiting for you will probably sympathize with you and even feel a little obliged to you.

4. They spoke badly about a person who accidentally heard everything

The situation is definitely not pleasant. Especially if it was your boss or colleague.

What to do

Stop gossiping! About a person who is not around, you should only say what you could say to his face. Try to follow this principle, and you will understand that life has become easier and more pleasant for you.

5. Sent the message to the wrong place

Let's say a guy who has two girlfriends asks one of them out on a date. But the second also sympathizes. And so he writes to Masha: “Anya, are you free today? I want to invite you to the cinema. Somehow it turns out badly. How to get out if you have compromised yourself?

What to do

You can, of course, lie that Anya is a second cousin. You can tell the truth, and let Masha be jealous. Depends on the situation. In any case, ask yourself the question: why are there people in your life at all from whom you are hiding something? And why should you be ashamed of something? With regard to business information, financial matters, and so on, such things in correspondence should be discussed with great caution.

6. Forgot to fully dress or left home in slippers

It is surprising, but many women left the house at least once, forgetting to wear a skirt. Such situations include slippers instead of shoes, and shoe covers worn in the hospital, which they later forgot to take off.

What to do

We don't even know what else to advise in such situations, except how to treat them with humor. Remember: if all passers-by and colleagues are looking at you intently and smiling, then you may look great. Or maybe you walk half naked, and even in slippers. Be carefull.

7. We got into someone else's car

It is easy to confuse two cars if they are the same model and color. Someone sits next to someone else's driver, someone behind someone else's wheel. Also, people often leave in the wrong taxi.

What to do

More often than not, the problem is solved by itself, it is enough just to apologize and exit. In a taxi, always specify where the driver is going, because in case of confusion there is a risk of being late to the destination.

8. The skirt rose from the wind

The second item on this list is exclusively female (unless you are a Scotsman, of course).

What to do

Do not worry! If women become witnesses of the incident, they will understand you, and if men, then they certainly will not be upset.

9. Were caught while having sex

Kisses also count: who was not a schoolboy who was not afraid that during the first timid kissing, parents or a teacher would suddenly not appear behind their backs? With age, everything becomes more serious, and then one day you already worry that your own children would not catch you.

What to do

You better hide! Without knowing the exact situation, it is difficult to give advice. Parents caught - get dressed and introduce your partner to them (if he hasn't run away yet). Caught in adultery - our advice is unlikely to help here. And if the police caught it in a public place, they themselves are to blame, they knew what they were doing. But adrenaline and memories will be more than enough.

10. Gathered for work on the weekend

Or they gathered the children for school. Dressed, washed, had breakfast, started a marafet. Some also drive up to the office. And only then they realize that it was a day off.

What to do

If you confuse weekends with weekends, you may be overworking and too tired. Be sure to rest, come to your senses, sort out the schedule. Check your alarm settings to make sure it doesn't go off again.

In general, this situation is not so bad: it's early morning, and you are already awake, and there is a whole weekend ahead! Do something enjoyable (although you may just fall back into bed).
