TIFU by trying to fix a wedgie in public and locking eyes with a stranger mid-adjust

This happened yesterday and I still wanna melt into the sidewalk

I was walking home from work and it was hot as hell. My boxers were basically glued to me and every step felt like punishment. I was doing that awkward stiff walk trying to fix it without actually reaching back like some stealthy wedgie ninja

I get to a red light and I’m standing there waiting. Only one other person nearby, some lady across the street. I think alright cool now’s the moment. So I go for it. Quick lil yank to fix the situation

Except it wasn’t quick or subtle. My hand got stuck on my belt loop or something and I ended up fully yanking my pants up like I was giving myself an atomic wedgie in broad daylight

And the worst part… I look up mid-adjust and make eye contact with the lady. She looked straight-up traumatized. Like I’d just done something illegal

We just stood there like that. Me holding my waistband. Her frozen with horror. Then the light changed and I basically ran across the street like I was fleeing a crime scene

Haven’t walked that way since. Might never again

TLDR tried to fix a wedgie in public and ended up assaulting my dignity and a stranger’s eyeballs all at once
