When Twitter User, Adrian Harewood, showed up to work wearing mismatched shoes, and lived to tweet about it; the rest of Twitter stepped forward to offer up their own experiences not being able to show up with their sh*t fully put together. The resulting thread is brimming with panicked moments that we all might (unfortunately) be able to relate to, when we weren't having our best days.

    work fail - Text - Adrian Harewood Follow @CBCAdrianH Clearly I can't trust my @CBCOttawa newsroom colleagues. Unbeknownst to me I walked around the office all day wearing this "pair" of shoes. Only noticed it at day's end. No one said a word. Ridiculous...
