Speaking purely hypothetically here, if you were in the bathroom at your office and the button which holds up your pants flew off your pants and into the toilet, would you go after it?

May or may not describe my morning thus far.

Yes, unless there was something horrifying in the toilet already.

Is your shirt tucked in or can you hide the fact you’re missing a button?

Yes. I had a similar situation with my favorite pen a few years ago. I retrieved it, ran it under scalding water for 10 minutes, then continued to use it right up until one of my coworkers stole it (but she was a notorious pen chewer so it all worked out).

oh dear. hee. oh my. not laughing. NOT LAUGHING.
i.. well, goodness. i don’t know. if it was LITERALLY the only thing holding up my pants.. well.. i suppose i wouldn’t have much choice. unless i knew someone in the office might have a safety pin.
hee. what was the outcome??

Absolutely not. !!!!!
I would sooner run to the Gap and buy a belt or big sweater or new pair of pants than reach my hand into toilet water.
Excuse me, I have this urge to go wash my hands now…

nope, I would construct a pants-holder-upper contraption out of a paper clip and call it a day

I have to agree with Hillary. I’d find either a safety pin or rig up a paper clip or one of those paper clamp things to hold it up. Until I could get out to the local Walgreen’s at lunch for a sewing kit!!
No toilet water here. Although I did fish my cell phone out of a toilet once…

Nope, unless you’re going to bust out a needle and thread right then and there (but, now that I think about it, you probably would because you’re crafty like that). I would suggest you using your MacGyver skillz to remedy the situation. But that’s just me.

Good God no! That is what staplers are for. 😉 Or find the knitting/sewing colleague (bound to have a safety pin).

Totally would. Even if I couldn’t sew it back on that day. It’s easy to wash your hands; much harder to find matching buttons.

Umm, NO. Are you kidding me? Unless my pants were going to completely fall off of me on my way out of the restroom, there is no way I’m sticking my hand in there!
