Today, I gave a presentation to a class of 70+ people. No one bothered to tell me my fly was unzipped. No wonder they were all smiling. FML

This is all wrong, you were supposed to envision the crowd in THEIR underwear.

I know those feels OP. I know those feels. Happened to me 5 times when I was in college. Of course, the last time it happened I also had a chubby.

It's like everyone's classic worst nightmare

Hmm... I'm curious OP. Do you think you would have been able to continue your presentation had someone pointed it out? Or would you have become flustered and nervous out of embarrassment? Do you think it possible that some of the class was affording you some type of courtesy by not telling you and making you fail your presentation?

I woulda just turned, zipped, and continued. Would have definitely appreciated knowing and fixing it rather than be laughed at for an hour.

oh that sucks! hope you did well though!

I guess the audience liked what they saw ;)

At least they weren't bored

I feel your pain. I used to have this one pair of jeans that apparently has a fly that's afraid of heights. I had 3 identical pairs with that one acrophobic zipper being a triplet, so post-laundry day, there was no telling until I was wearing them. I'd pull that sucker all the way up to the very top of the fly, just to be sure, but the rest of the day it would yo-yo. It'd be fine from anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour, then it'd just quietly decide "nope...I don't like it up here" and descend without my knowledge. I later discovered, what I believed, to be an ingenious solution; I discreetly threaded a safety pin into the eye of the zipper tag, keeping the shiniest part out of view under the denim flaps. It worked phenomenally well, until I'd discovered the one critical flaw in the system. You know those times when you have to pee so badly that you sway from side to side like Stevie wonder? Those times of urgency so powerful that the rest of your body won't cooperate as you fight tooth and nail to retain continence? Try dealing with a fiddly and delicate locking system on your fly then. It ended up being a case of it being quicker and easier to undo your belt and go up and over the waistline, which, might I add, looks incredibly awkward to people that pass by the urinal. FYL, op...been there in many ways because of those faulty jeans. It always sucks.

Been there myself. I use a paperclip. You put it around the button, under the flap, so the big, outside loop is hanging down (pull it open a hair). Then you string the loop on the end of your zipper pull over it. Fast to take on and off; yet secure! :)

#44, I believe you may be a genius!
