The Belt That Wouldn’t Buckle

So, a couple of weeks ago, I got a new belt for my uniform. The old one was getting frayed along the edges, and ok, it was getting a little small.  The first day I wore it, I was working out at the entrance station.

This is where I work

The entrance station is 12 miles from the fee office, out in the middle of nowhere. This building does not have a bathroom in it. To go to the bathroom, we have to run across the road:

We call it the space capsule

Yes, see that port-a-potty over there? That is where we have to go to use the bathroom. In order to go, you have to look down the road with a pair of binoculars, and if you can’t see a car coming, you have time to go.

Look down that road for cars coming

So, the day I wore my new belt to work for the first time, I looked down the road with the binoculars, no cars were coming, so I ran across the road to the space capsule.  I did my thing, and as I was starting to pull my pants back up, the buckle of belt fell off in the floor! I was like, WTF!!!

This is a re-enactment of the belt buckle incident

I was trying to hurry because I could hear cars coming down the road, but I just couldn’t figure out how to get that buckle back on the belt. So, when I got back over to the entrance station, and opened the door, this is how I greeted the visitor:

Of course, the buckle was not on the belt then

I was laughing, and the visitor was laughing, and I explained the situation. Soon after they left, I was able to get things under control. But man!  I was embarrassed!

    LOL! I had to read it twice because it was just too good. I think we’ve all had ‘fashion malfunctions’ and can TOTALLY relate!

    When I taught school, I had to train myself to “go” at certain times. But I can’t imagine having to fit bathroom breaks in between the traffic. Sometimes, I think, the cars would just have to wait!
