Worse than having your fly open in public, but less conspicious

So, I was walking home today, and noticed what felt like my sock becoming "extra raggedy." I look down to investigate, and I notice a pair of boxer shorts in the pant leg. Apparently, after I took my jeans out, I managed to put them on without noticing my boxer shorts becoming wedged against my sock and leg. I guess this happened with stuff mixing up with static electricity in my laundry hamper, and persisted because I have horrible sensory abilities and don't notice these things until it's too late. While this incident was funny and innocuous, I do worry that these sorts of faux pas might occur in a more sensitive/problematic scenario some day.
