Embarassing Moments in your Life

[Uncle Scar]

Everyone has them. What was one of your most embarassing moments that you're willing to share?

Mine happened at Disney. We were staying at CR and were going to catch the first monorail of the morning. It was already sitting there and seeing the counter at the end of the track, we knew it would be leaving soon. We took off jogging to get on board.

I had new athletic shoes on, and didn't realize the tread wrapped up over the toe. While jogging, I dragged my right foot and the tread on the toe caught on the carpet and I started going down.

This, of course, happened right in front of the monorail so the CMs and passengers saw everything. I started to fall flat on my face, the carpet rushing at me in slow motion.

Two things went through me head. One, this is going to hurt. Two, I must do something to save my pride. I tucked down into my shoulder and rolled through the fall, amazingly coming back up on my feet still jogging along. The CMs looks went from shock, to rushing to my aid, to surprise in seeing me back up and still jogging along.

I boarded the monorail to laughter and applause from everyone already there. The only things damaged were my ego, dignity and pride......and pride means a lot to lions.

My family dubbed me creator of the "Tuck N Roll" and it always comes up as a story they tell.

Anyone else have a red-faced moment?

Ugh...I try to forget my embarrassing moments they are too numerous to count!

LOL! That's a good one! Glad you weren't physically hurt.

Mine wasn't at Disney, but when I was in junior high, I was in the spelling bee. I was up on stage and had one of those combs in the back pocket of my jeans (it was cool to have one ) that had a long handle.

EVERY time I got up to take my place at the mic, my comb would go up against the back rest of the metal chair, therefore carrying it with me looking like it was glued to me. The entire auditorium were in hysterics and I can remember the people giving out the words having to wipe the tears away before they could continue.

I placed 2nd though!

I'm not a small guy, so I was stunned I recovered the way I did. It was definitely an E-ticket attraction.

When I got on board the monorail I heard "Mommy, did you see what the funny man did?".

Alright, I haven't ever told anyone outside of my family this story.

First, let me preface this by saying that I was only 10 years old at the time and really didn't know any better. Well, we had just moved to Las Vegas a couple of months before and it was Halloween. When my mom asked me what I was going to be, I told her a hooker! I had no idea what a hooker was, but to this day, my mother still brings that up every chance she gets. Just last weekend, my sister came up for a Mary Kay party at mom's and when it came time to put on makeup, I told her that I wanted the hooker look since mom wouldn't let me be one when I was ten!

I still have my comb! and yes, I still use it, although I don't keep it in my back pocket anymore

UncleScar that is not an embarassing moment, that is awesome! What a recovery.


Okay, 8th grade. Summer Camp.

I had just gone swimming in the creek and I put my shorts back on over my swimsuit which had dried. What I forgot, was that when I took my shorts off, I took my underwear off at the same time, so that when I put my shorts back on, my underwear was still inside.

So, anyway, I was walking along the trail, a group of six CUTE guys behind me, when my underwear decide to fall out of my shorts

I just about died.

At least they were my cute underwear.

When I was 11, my extended family gathered after my uncle's funeral. I had not seen many of these relatives since I was around 4, so they were strangers to me. I went to the restroom and when I finished the back of my dress got tucked into my pantyhose. Someone kindly told me, but only after I had paraded through the whole house. I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide. I can even remember the dress I was wearing at the time. Now I think it's funny, but at the time I was mortified.

Thanks for those that shared. Glad to see I'm not alone...although mine only happened two years ago.
