Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, during a family dinner, my favourite underwire bra got tired of its job and tried to shish-kebab my boobs. FML

Today, I was working the cash register. While helping a customer with her groceries, my bra snapped. I then had to ask my male boss if I could staple it back together. Thirty minutes later it snapped again. I then had to explain to my boss that I was too broke to buy a new one. FML

Today, my bra clasp broke in the middle of a job interview. I got the job on the spot. I'm scared to report into work. FML

Today, I was at work, and I had to tell my manager I was calling someone to bring me a bra as mine had broken mid-shift. I was the only woman on shift. It took them 30 minutes to show up and I still had to serve front of house while I waited. FML

Today, at work, my front-close bra popped open like an anime character, right in front of the two male coworkers I was talking to. My boobs flung around and I had to pretend nothing happened while subtly crossing my arms and waiting for them to leave so I could fix it. FML

Today, I was stabbed in the chest. Not with a knife though, the under-wire from my bra escaped and stabbed me in the boob. FML

Today, I woke up late for a very important presentation. I got dressed but forgot to wear a bra. During the presentation, I bent down to adjust a shoe strap. I rose to find that the thin straps of my blouse snapped and exposed my breasts. I gave a great presentation and a titty show. FML

Snap!
Today, I was so tired when I got home from work, I took off my bra without removing my shirt which I've done so often it is second nature. I successfully removed the bra, then snagged the clasp on a loose shirt thread, causing my bra to take on a life of its own and slap me in the face. FML

I would just remove both the underwires from your bra, may be less supportive but at least the wire isn't stabbing you

Shit like that will happen OP. One time I ripped my shorts but instead of carrying a negative aura I was able to make jokes and keep a good attitude about it. Hopefully your day went well and a manager let you go home to change.

The difference with this situation is that a snapped bra-wire constantly stabs you, which actively hurts. Good luck, OP, for me it helped to put a bandaid or some tape around the pointy end of the wire and try to make it stick to my bra instead of stabbing me

Hopefully your day doesn't get any worse than that.

Can you work some magic with paperclips and rubber bands or whatever laying around your workplace?

Hopefully you were able to get the wire out. But ugh what a waste of a bra

For a second I thought it said workout, not workday. xD That would REALLY suck.

You can leave a workout and come back whenever- you don't have to get permission to leave a workout. However, it's highly unlikely that that OP's employer would let her leave work to go home, take off the old one, put on a new one, and come all the way back to work. Especially if OP's manager or boss is a man- and before someone tries to jump down my throat about being sexist or whatever term you want to use, I'm saying this from first hand observation- because men without a wife/girlfriend, or a mother or sister they are very close to, don't quite understand that a snapped underwire isn't like, say, a broken zipper. It isn't a matter of it just being uncomfortable or increasing the risk of a wardrobe malfunction- snapped undersides can be flat out dangerous. They can cut the person the bra is on, or the wire can even act like a needle and thread and go in one spot, come out the other, and be laced under the person's skin and even muscle. It isn't likely, but it can happen, especially if the job is physical labor/movement intensive. (Which, yes, I have seen this in person. Not pleasant to look at, I don't want to think about how much less pleasant it was for the girl it happened to.) Note that I'm not saying that male employers with that view on them are being intentionally jerks about it, but that they don't know that broken wires are dangerous.
