I was at work one day a few years ago, I had a rather important sales meeting/pitch to do in about an hour and I was preparing and getting ready to leave the office to go to our clients office when one of the girls working in the office looks and me and says, 'You're fly is open.' Embarrassed I quickly duck back to my desk and go to do it up, but it wasn't just open, it was BROKEN. And not just off the teeth, but literally broken.
I had to leave the office in about 15 minutes with 30 mins of travel time ahead of me, I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything about it before the meeting, and it would have been rather hard and ultimately pointless for me to reschedule the meeting.
Long story short I rigged it shut with some staples and string, although I think I may have looked a little funny in the meeting as I was making sure I wasn't stretching or moving quickly as I didn't want it to pop open again.
