Desecration!

This happened while I was in college. I was going to class in the Life Sciences building. The building was eight stories tall and I had a class on the top floor. I walked up to the elevator. As I walked up the door opened and I jumped on. Several people were behind me and I held the door for them. There were several older people dressed nicely, probably instructors, myself and an Indian lady about 30 years old in the elevator. She was dressed in her traditional garb with a long headress on or whatever it is called.

As the door closed I noticed something. My fly was open. There was not much room to move in th elevator, but I was able to turn sideways just a little and zip the thing closed. I felt much better until........the elevator stopped on about the 5th floor and the Indian lady began to walk out of the elevator. Her head pulled back and I kind of moved forward. You guessed it. I had zipped up the end of her headwear in my fly. As she tried to walk out she pulled pretty hard. The head gear started to come off her head. She had to stop before that happened.

At this point several people, or maybe everyone, realized what was going on. They could see I had zipped up the garment in my fly. I was furiously trying to unzip my fly and get the thing uncaught. It would not come loose though. It was stuck. This poor lady made a last lunge and the whole deal fell off her head onto the floor with me standing right behind her with the other end stuck in my fly.

With a mighty tug I got the piece of fabric loose and my fly open. I grabbed the whole headress and tried to hand it to the poor Indian lady. She just looked at me with a sense of horror on her face. All she could keep saying was, “You have desecrated my garment. You have desecrated my garment.” One of the older ladies in the elevator hit me with her purse and hollered out, “Pervert”. What could I do?

Everybody was staring at me. I was standing in the middle of the 5th floor hallway with my fly open and a Gomer Pyle look on my face. Needless to say I did not go to class that day. I just went back home and went to sleep for a bit. This was one of the most embarassing moments in my entire life.
