Victoria's (disgusting) Secret

I'm so happy the Olympics are over and the folks at the Today Show are tackling the tough issues once again. Today, they shared an alarming report. They discovered that panties are being returned by customers and put back on the shelves. Um, gross. As the rest of the world is shocked by this revelation...I threw up in my mouth years ago when I had my own panty investigation.

The next part of the story was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. About 4 years ago, I purchased panties from Victoria's Secret. When I got home I noticed the underwear had been visibly worn. Disgusted, I threw them across the room...put on gloves, threw them in the bag and decided to return them. At Victoria's Secret, I began the exchange. I honestly can't remember if I returned them or had enough trust in VS at the time to exchange them for another pair. Anyways...I gave the sales associate the bag, she pulls out the panties and before I can warn her I blurt out, "They've been worn!" I didn't think my statement through. Before I knew it, everyone around me that heard my confession gasped in disgust. I tried to make it right...."No no no....not by me!!! When I bought them they had been worn!" No one was buying my story. My sister, standing beside me, began laughing uncontrollably and shared the same look of repulsion displayed by the other customers. It was horrible!

Word to my readers: always wash your wears before you wear them!
