I'll go first. I was still not used to all this and I'd went to work without an extra barrier and bag. So of course I'm moving around at work and lucky for me I'm constantly checking to make sure the barrier is stuck to my skin and it wasn't. Instantly panic. I grab a roll of that thick clear packing tape. I taped the hell out of the barrier and even though I crinkled when I bent over it saved the day.
