Crap Weather, 'Waterproofs', and an all-round rubbish day.

[nowhere.elysium]

Just thought I'd share this little wondrous escapade:
I went out to Maplins, to pick up a lead that was needed for work. Got utterly drenched on the way, so I thought "I know, I only live down the road, so I'll go get changed into some waterproofs". Off I toddle, get home, get changed, and think that it'll be a nice (ish) short ride back to work.
Not only had the rain gotten a whole shedload heavier, and the van drivers a whole load more mental, but I discovered that my waterproofs aren't as waterproof as all that. Actually, they leak like a complete mofo around the crotch, making it look like I've got no bladder control, and have been on a crash course of diuretics for the past four days.
So. I get to my office, reach for the spare pair of £3 tesco uber-cheapy el-crapola jeans that I bought for just such an event. However, as I'm taking the label off, I notice something.
Where I thought it said 38, it actually says 'Size 18'. This can, of course, only mean one thing. I'm now wearing a pair of women's jeans, have slightly damp boxers (oo-er), and am in a foul mood, with an office full of dripping clothes.
I'm supposed to be picking my Mrs up from work a bit later on, but I'm honestly considering telling her that the train would be the best idea.

Anyone else having a bit of a futile day?

I wouldn't get too excited, you folks with your dry weather: the rain is heading northwest, and you're gonna get it. The worst thing is that it's dirty French rain, too.
For the meantime, though, you're all gits.

Hmm, does mine compare? Nope. I'm having a bad day but nothing compares to wearing women's jeans. Just be grateful they weren't size 12, then you'd be screwed

Cheers

To be honest, I'm surprised that they're not more uncomfortable. I tihnk there's lot to be said for the fact since they cost £3, the 'designers' were aiming more for the "well, it's for a biped" than "ladies taper in here, and curve out here".

As for being a tubby so and so, yep, you're totally right. It's mainly due to riding motorbikes, and leaving the pushbikes be. I need to get back on the pushbike, if I'm to be slim and beautiful again...

Arrived home soaking wet to my very skin from the waist down as I was stupid enough to wear jeans on the ride in to work, my penis was considerably reduced in stature by this ordeal.

Plus, it is really hooning it down...but then we have had the sun when all others have have the wet stuff...(last time it rained for a bit was 2nd September!!!!)

Getting out of London on the A13 was a royal pain this evening. Tailbacks for a good few miles so nice wet sloppy filtering fun to be had. All ended with some guy who was with the police in the middle of the road for some unknown reason, so everything was being diverted around him. Not to mention the sheer amount of spilt fuel all over the road for miles. Big rivers of it, I kid you not.

And because it's raining, everyone had to drive fart-sniffingly close to each other, of course, as well as change lane for no reason and with no indication in gridlocked traffic, right into the path of filtering riders. I'm starting to remember what riding in winter is like... traffic jams, driver lunacy increasing by a factor of 100, fuel all over the wet roads, being blinded by rain all over your visor (thank God for Pinlock), having umpteen pairs of gloves on and gay bar muffs and trying to find the controls by feel, looking even more like the Michelin Man due to the amount of layers that must be worn... BRING IT ON.
