morning meeting

There’s nothing worse than showing up for the daily huddle with your fly undone.
You could show up with some funky bedhead and it wouldn’t be as bad as arriving with your fly undone.
You could come with a button unbuttoned and folks would just think oh you know he fumbled and it wouldn’t be as obliviously embarrassing as showing up with your fly undone.
You could come with an untied shoe and your boss would point it out without a problem because it’s not as delicate a matter as having your fly undone.
You could arrive with poppy seeds and cream cheese between all your teeth and it wouldn’t be as bad as huddling with your fly undone.
Ok wait yes it would be as bad it would be worse because coming with your fly undone is human but coming with poppy seeds and cream cheese between all your teeth is inhuman.
And if you came with your shirt on inside-out it would indicate there’s something seriously wrong, not just rampant neglect or a simple hurry but something worse than blowing off brushing your teeth or arriving with your silly fly undone.

Let me guess. You recently spotted an open fly? Had one?

Whenever I find that my fly is open I wonder how it's possible to have missed that detail. Was I that in a rush to leave the last place I put on my pants?

i had a stretch of time, a few months, where i regularly found my fly undone. this was often at work. i run a children's bookstore. not a good place to be having that particular brain malfunction. thankfully i seem to have solved whatever was going on with my brain.

The kids probably had a good laugh about it! XYZ

in all the times i've found my fly to be unzipped no one has ever alerted me to the matter. this has always surprised me, as i have alerted other people about their xyz situations multiple times.

I don't know that I'd brag about that. Maybe they just found it uninteresting?
