When you get to work and realized that you forgot to put deoderant on!!! UGH...I should really keep a spare here just in case!!
DH messed with my morning schedule and work up early and get in the shower, and so I had to switch around my routine, and of course I just realized that I forgot deoderant....:-(
Has this happened to you? What do you normally do??

I bought a little travel-sized deodorant and kept it in my desk drawer. I had it happen to me twice so I thought...hmm, I better be prepared

Do you have lotion or antibacterial hand gel?
I used to slap some antibacterial on when I stunk

@sweetooth: Good idea......I think I will make sure to keep one on hand now

definitely has happened to me - love the desk deodorant - also for the occasional late-in-the-day boost if I've been extra stressed (And hence extra sweaty)

I hate that! I usually don't sweat that bad but really hate that sticky feeling! The time I did I ran up to the dollar store on my break and bought a travel size!

@chopsuey119: Yes!! I have both at my desk, plus the antibacterial is a little scented....Now I just have to figure out how to do it without being too noticable LOL

I have a travel size one at my desk because it happened 1 too many times. I'm glad I'm not the only one whose been wearing deodorant for almost 20 years and still forgets some days!

@Foodnerd81: Definitely not the only one....
@mrs. wagon: I think that is what a lot of people do! I need to start that now!!

@MrsBrewer: the two things I always forget to do is 1) deoderant and 2) draw in the ends of my eyebrows. When I forget the second one it's even worse. Ugh.

haha I do this on occassion too. I started keeping an extra stick in my purse. Only problem now is that I am now carrying a diaper bag all the time and not my purse lol. I also used to keep an extra in the car.

I keep a makeup bag at work with deodorant, a travel toothbrush/toothpaste, a couple perfume samples (birchbox for the win), a powder foundation compact and a tube of lipstick. I brought it in after a friend invited me to a Mavs game last minute and I walked over from the office without going home. I've used it TONS of times since then.

Ha, yep. I have a spare in our office bathroom (super small office, so it works).

Yup! I kept a stick in my car, and now it's in the diaper bag. I am so paranoid that I stink all the time because it makes me gag when others smell like BO.
After having LO I have to buy secret clinical..she made me so stinky!!

I used to keep a shoebox sized "personal" box at my last job that had a spare deodorant, some snacks, a few hair ties, random things like that in it.

@mrbee: hahhahahahhahahah. This reminds me of those commercials where you check yourself for smells without being noticed lol.

I carry so much crap in my work tote. Deodorant, toothbrush, Vaseline, lotion, nail strips, treats, gum, crystal light, water, paper, pens, markers, books, sewing, iPad, chargers, money, baby soap, tums, children's chewable Tylenol, mints, hair bands, bobby pins, safety pins, cat treats, flashlight.

Oh, that's the worst! Once I was watching Oprah and in the middle of the show she said "OMG I forgot to wear deodorant!" and put tissues under her armpits. Maybe that would help?

@anonysquire: I think I would have to call your tote....the Barney bag!!
grapefruit / 4703 posts
Just don't leave your spare in the car! I did that once and it melted all over the inside of the center console

I keep a stick in my gym bag, which i always keep in my car. I also keep baby powder at work (mostly for sticky feet on hot days, but it works!)

@anonysquire: I personlly like "Mary p Popping" better, sounds more.....hip? LOL

Aaaaand guess who forgot to put on deodorant today. And I'm at my 3-hour glucose screening so no desk deodorant to save me. At least it's really cold in here so hopefully I won't smell like a sewer once I get to work.

@ladyfingers: Oh nooo!!! I remembered today thankfully! lol are you just going home after your test?

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever forgotten to put on deoderant! Weird! I have forgotten to brush my teeth several times before leaving for work, though (gross, gross, gross!!) Good thing I always carry gum on me!!

@MrsBrewer: no, I have no more PTO so they're cool w my doctor appointments but I can't take the full day off I already kinda feel like puking and haven't even had my second draw yet.

@ladyfingers: Stop at Walgreens quick on the way to work! Could you take a sick day if you arent feeling well?
pomelo / 5331 posts
@MrsBrewer: oh I have deodorant at work! Just hope it isn't too late by then 
I am out of sick days too. I had 2 days of the stomach flu at then pregnancy related stuff gave me 3 more sick days. I already used yet another one a few weeks ago they didn't dock me for, so I don't want to push it! At least it's kind of like a half day for me
