Let's talk about embarrassing moments!

[Aurora63]

I have a new one!

A friend and I went to see Narnia last weekend. We wound up at a theater with non-stadium seating, the type where the aisle runs right through the middle of the seating. We were towards the middle of the theater, and there wasn't a huge crowd. Everyone else there was seated somewhere behind us.

Anyway, about halfway through the film, I had to go to the bathroom, as usual. So I whisper to my friend, and get up to go. I was wearing these wedge heal shoes, and for some reason, as I'm getting out of our row, I step wrong, and wind up falling in the middle of the aisle! Everyone in the theater had a clear view of me, and I heard a few people snicker. I was not hurt, but fairly embarrassed. All I could do was pick myself up and walk out to the restroom. Then, I spent the rest of the film trying not to laugh about it!

What's your most embarrassing moment?

My most embarrassng moment was when a friend of mine played a trick on me at work, and had another friend call me and tell me that I had won a car for this contest I had entered. I was sitting in a large open bay of about sixty co-workers at the time, and I stand up and start yelling "I won a car, oh my god, I won a car!" The crowd starts cheering with me. Then the guy on the other end of the phone, says "This is a joke." Then I have to turn to everyone and tell them "This is a joke."

Let's just say, paybacks are **** and this friend of mine had a little visitor with a long spirally tail and beedy red eyes to greet him in his wardrobe closet that afternoon.

Me and DH were going to a house-warming party. We didn't know the people well because they were actually my mom's friends but invited us as well. DS was napping so I told my mom to go ahead without us and we would meet her there.

So we get closer to the area and I ask DH what the address is. He says he forgot to bring it.We were way too far to go get it. So we have no idea where we're going but are on the right street-we just have to pick the right house.

Well we see a house with a lot of cars outside and think that's the house because we knew lots of people were going to be there. We knock on the door. A man opens the door, looks at us strangly, and lets us in. We don't know him but we figure the hosts are busy and this guest is letting us in.

So me, DH, and DS are sitting in this living room for a while before we realize we don't know ANYBODY. Could we possibly be sitting in a strangers house?

Well the host came up to us, we explained what happened. They were also having a house-warming party!!! Thank God she had a sense of humor. I was so embarrased but me and DH still laugh about it till this day

This happened almost 25 years ago and it still embarrases me. I was just out of college and working at a department store in Olympia. There was this cute manager who used to come over to my department and flirt with me, I had a little crush. Anyway, one day I'm heading into work and he's standing outside just about to go in. We start talking and as we're standing there MY SLIP FALLS DOWN AROUND MY ANKLES!! I was struggling financially at the time and had this dingy old half slip, I think I got it from my mother, the elastic had finally given out and whoosh - there it was on the ground. I could have died! I bent down and picked it up and said, "ever have one of those days?" then headed into the building. He never flirted with me after that...
Fast forward to 18 months ago. My DH and I have bought a new house and we're furniture shopping in this upscale furniture store in Bellevue. This gentlman is helping us, looking through some catalogues. He looks at me and asks if I've ever worked for The Bon Marche in Olympia. I was stunned! He left the room to get some more catalogues and I started laughing hysterically, tears and everything. I told my hubbie, that's the guy, the guy where my slip fell down!! My husband couldn't believe it, he's heard the story a million times. The poor guy comes back in, I tell him how embarassed I am about the incident and he swears he doesn't remember it ever happening! Yeah right!

One of mine was fairly recent and still can't believe I did this.

I was xmas shopping and in my own world looking at toys. I had been humming the theme from the Muppets I think, you know "ma na ma na, beep beep bi dideep" and then started singing it pretty low to myself over and over, but apparently loud enough to catch the attention of a very handsome man standing at the end of the aisle watching me and smiling. I about died. He laughed, I laughed and apologized and he said "don't apologize, I was silently mouthing it with you" LOL!!

In 7th grade, I was in a spelling bee and back then, combs with the long handle sticking out of you're back pocket was cool and a girl thing. Every time I stood up to go to the microphone, my steel chair's back rest got lifted up by the comb handle underneath it and I took the whole chair across the stage dangling behind me. I can still see Mr. McCarthy's laughing hysterically and turning beat red with laughter. I earned runner up though

My last pelvic exam. You know where the doc presses on your tummy and places a finger where no finger is supposed to be and your just praying you don't fart??

JerryMo - I LOVE that, good one

 

[lillygator]

JerryMo - OMG - I am a redhead and have dealt with that question ALL my life...what a great comeback! I am going to have to use it!!



My embarrassing moment....we had been at the beach all day looking for sand dollars and I had a mask on most of the day....so I had mask face and didn't know and my dear husband never said anything and let me run into the store to pick up dinner!! I felt just like that Friend's episode.....

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

Let's see, I've done a lot of dumb things, but I don't really get too embarrassed for some reason. I usually just laugh right along with everyone.

There was the time we were having dinner for this couple at our house and I had these elastic waistband shorts on and as I got up to clear the table, DH points to my butt and says really loud, "What's that?" It seems I had my shorts on inside out and the tag on the back was very noticeable. Oops. I"m sure the other couple noticed, but they pretended like they didn't.

Last fall, I was with my DD3 in Michael's and for no reason (seriously-no reason) she yells out, "Pee You, Mom you farted!!" And of course the store was packed.

In college, I spent the entire morning walking around campus with a big rip in the butt of my pants without knowing it. Luckily my underwear were the same color as my pants so you'd have to be looking pretty close to notice it.

Was at a meeting at school where some other teachers and I were discussing a very sad, somber issue regarding one of our collegues who was dying of cancer. I was in my 8th month of pregnancy and this teacher points to my shirt right in front of everyone and says, "Is your shirt always wet like that??"

I got a million of 'em...

The most embarrasing one I can think of at the moment happened when I was about 6 mos pregnant with DS. I was alreayd out to here pregnant and unable to see past the giant belly. Anyway..on a day off when it was relatively nice out, DH decides to take me to the Dallas Zoo. We wander around a bit and end up going to the petting zoo portion of the zoo. I'm walking around, petting goats,sheeps,llamas..whatever. Scattered about are treestumps and various concrete thingies for the visitors to sit on/goats to jump all over. Somehow, I manage to NOT SEE a giant tree stump and trip over it. I end up scraping both of my legs from ankle to knee on the edge of the stump and looking like a pregnant

I was never so mortified in my entire life.

My most embarrassing recent moment was when we were going to dinner at Boma. My husband drove around to the front of AKL to let my son, niece and me off. The kids took off running toward the entrance. I tripped over the curb and hit my head on one of the pillars while trying to chase after them. I got up to look around to see who had witnessed my clumsiness. I was OK--I just bruised my knee, and my ear hurt for about an hour or so. I guess I'm not the only person to trip on the curb at Boma--when we returned about 4 mos later, the curb had been painted a contrasting color (I was also more carefull getting out of the car).

I was walking across a busy street when my slip fell off me... slid right down my legs to my ankles... Ijust stepped out of it and kept right on walking - I didn't even look back even though people were saying 'excuse me, excuse me... I think you dropped... umm.. something"

 

[GoofyDad869]

One of mine happened when me and KAMommy were dating, before we got married. For story set up, my name is Patrick (some people call me Pat).

We were going Christmas shopping with her mom & dad (my future in-laws). I was on my best behavior - opening doors for KAMommy & HLMIL (Hairy Legged Mother-in-Law), talking sports with BHFIL (Bald Headed Father-in-Law), just being an AWESOME potential son-in-law. We had been shopping for a long time in one store, and we had a lot of bags and packages. KAMommy asks where we're going to put everything, and BHFIL says "Pack it in the trunk" What I heard was "Pat, get in the trunk!" I said something like "I will NOT!" and he looked at me funny. I had to explain what I thought I heard.

That story is told every single Christmas in the extended family.

Driving home from a road trip. I had been on the road for a few hours and was in need of a rest stop very soon. Of course, the powers that be decided to give me a major traffic jam instead. We inched along, barely moving for the next hour until I finally had to give in and get out to take care of things on the side of the road. The only thing that slightly decreased my embarrasment was that shortly after a couple of other people did the same thing. I guess nobody wanted to be first.

These are all great stories but so far Shugardrawers wins first prize!

 

[luvsmickeymouse]

I have done many things over the years, but here are a couple.

When I was about 18 I took my sweater out of the dryer and threw it on in a hurry. I was walking downtown and when I got to where I was going, I took off the sweater and was horrified to see a pair of panty hose stuck to the back! STATIC CLING!!!!

I drive a school bus and one day there was a hornet on my windshield. I grabbed the broom to kill it, and cracked the windshield !!!

LOL !

My mom had that happen at the Train Station in the city - on a busy weekday morning. Everytime I think of her just stepping right out of it and continue walking it makes me laugh so hard - thanks for the memory!
