The car park at the back of my work was being renovated and was basically just a vast sea of mud. The builders had placed a large wooden plank across it so we could walk from the back door to the gate, safely across the mud. One day, when we closed up, I was last out and my colleagues had removed the "bridge" for a joke. I couldn't go back in as I didn't have a key and I'd already slammed the door. I was wearing skinny black trousers, ballet pumps and black socks. My heart was racing as I stepped from safety into the mud. My shoes disappeared into it immediately, it came up to my ankles! I could feel it oozing into my shoes and making my socks all slimy! As I tried to take a step I realised that my shoe was stuck as if it was in glue. It was only a little slip on number, I just couldn't get it out so had to leave it behind and to the joy of my colleagues, put my sock down into the mud. This then happened to the other foot so I was actually almost up to my knees in it, in my socks! I managed to pull my shoes out but got even filthier in the process. Now that my socks were smothered in a layer of thick mud, I didn't see any point putting them back on, so I squelched, mud filled shoes in hand, across the ooze. Then it got even deeper and I sank right up to my knees! I got really dirty, and my shoes were ruined! But you know what? It was a really hot day so I found it very refreshing! What a great way to cool down! You've got to take a positive!

@Chrissquish You've got to laugh and embrace the madness at my workplace! Someone getting cast into the mud in nice clothes is really quite normal! The good natured humiliation is the name of the game. Imagine a colleague of yours struggling through the mud in socks. I bet you'd laugh!
@Chrissquish Yes, I know what you mean! I know it's weird, but I loved this experience, being all mucky and just in my socks, while people laughed at me....
@Lauren19 yeah it happened to me recently, I was out in the countryside on a walk and it was almost as if the signpost had been changed but it sent me up this incredibly muddy hill which was so steep that I ended up falling back down and into really deep mud at the bottom! I was so embarrassed!
@Lauren19 yeah, quite a few people saw me, but it felt kinda good. Really embarrassing as some girls I liked were there but I'm kind of glad it happened.
@Chrissquish Same for me when this prank happened! I felt so happy to be splodging through knee deep mud in my socks! It felt silly, but strangely liberating!
Yeah, to be honest, I sometimes go out now hoping it'll happen, like maybe I'll take the sketchy route over the log that goes over the mud and maybe it'll roll and I'll fall?
