Throwaway account for obvious reasons

Some context: I had been re-using one outfit for the last couple of days, mostly because I have been staying home most of the day to avoid the heat wave. I'd go out for maybe 10-20 mins and change back to my PJs once I'm back home. It's just a jeans and t-shirt combo and I didn't deem the outfit dirty enough to change into anything else when going out.

Now, I have a habit of leaving my undies inside the pants when I take it off. Basically I just take them both off at the same time and leave it like that. But, every time I wear the jeans, I'd at least wear new underwear. I went out earlier today at noon and didn't notice anything strange at that point.

Went out again in the afternoon and I was walking the same path I walked earlier today. I noticed something lying down in the middle of the street, and once I got closer I realized it's someone's underwear. At first I was like, "Lol, people do weird things" and "Maybe it fell out of someone's laundry hamper?". But, as I was passing it, I realized it's MY UNDERWEAR!

It couldn't be, right? When I was walking back again, took another look at it, and yep it's distinct enough that I can't deny it's mine. My guess is that I forgot to remove the last pair of underwear that was inside the jeans, and slid down the pants legs without me noticing. How do I know that can happen? Because it had happened once before, though I caught it before I royally embarrassed myself.

I had contemplated picking it up and throwing it away, but I was too embarrassed in case some one saw me pick up strange underwear from the ground in broad daylight. Now it's just lying there, menacingly. And it is squarely in the middle of the road, maybe it'll get caught in someone's tire and go away 😬 My only consolation is that at least no one will know who it belongs to.

tldr; forgot undies inside my jeans, slid down the pants legs on to the road, I hate myself, down one pair of panties

Update: I went and got it back, put it in the trash straight away lol it was out there all day, I am never wearing it again. Thanks to everyone who was being nice and not mean/weird :) Surprised to see this is more common than I thought
