I've had quite a few in my lifetime, but the two that comes to mind right off of the bat are:

In 10th grade, I was playing volleyball for our team against our biggest rivals. We were SO CLOSE to winning, and we rotated positions, putting me right up at the net. The ball comes right up to the net, I jump up to spike it, my team and coach are cheering me on and....

....God knows why, but I CAUGHT the ball. WHY DID I DO THAT?!?! Ugh! My coach literally fell onto the floor, hitting the floor with his hand screaming, "WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!?!" I was pretty dang embarrassed, especially because we lost.



About 2 years ago, my now bf was making fun of me for being from Daytona Beach, and I had a country twang to my voice. He kept calling me a redneck. I put my hands on my hips, and snarled, "I'm not a REDNECK!" Well, of course, my voice decided to be it's country twang-iest so it came out really thick and funny sounding. He fell onto the floor laughing and still teases me to this day about it.

Well here's my story (one of the many):

When I was 14, I was living in Sicily. I met this really nice girl who just so happened to be the military base commander's daughter. I figured if I "hooked up" with her, not only would I be happy, but might get my dad a promotion or two

Well, I was talking to her one night while we were both by her front door. I had 2 friends with me, who thought it would be funny to "pants" me; in other words, pulls my pants down showing my boxers I was wearing.

When they went to pants me from behind (I didn't know they were coming) one of them grabbed a little bit of my boxers as well and when just my pants were supposed to come down, my boxers came down too! And to top it off, the window in their living room was open while we were talking and her mother walked right by as it happened!

Let's just say I felt a cold breeze that night!

This thread just makes my day! (Except now I'm kind of wondering why I find other people's pain and embarrassment so darn funny!) And no, MICKEY88, I'm not feeling less stupid to the point of telling the toe story!

one time my girlfriends and I were at a bar and one of my friends got up to use the ladies room. (This friend in particular is extremly stylish and always put together VERY nicely. This night in particular she was wearing a beautiful sleeveless top, jeans and high heels)

Well, she comes back from the bathroom and I get up off her stool that I stole while she was gone - I look her up and down and I double over in laughter.

She's all like "what? what? what's wrong?"

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.

yes - some stranger (a man of course) had to tell her she had toilet paper stuck to the heel of her shoe.

My friend must be cursed - because this happened TWICE in the same evening...luckily the second time I was able to POINT and laugh...saving her the embarassment of having another stranger tell her that she had TP going from her heel back to the ladies room.

luckily - we're still friends and still laugh about it.

 

[airhead]

I love this thread! This is a story I tell everybody cuz its so funny! Of course my friend would love me to "let it go" and stop repeating it,but I can't!!! Actually,after 25 or so years,she's finally able to laugh about it too.
We were at a friend's outdoor wedding on the beach(awesome time!)and everyone was celebrating quite a bit. At the time we both were very into weight lifting and being strong women. Well,my friend Bette had a few too many brews and started to show off her strength by lifting people at the party. People started to gather around to watch and cheer. She was so proud of herself! This one guy who was hitting on her the whole afternoon comes up to her and challenges her to lift him(he was a little chubby and very annoying...). So Bette proceeds to lift him and as she does,she lets out the loudest fart!!!!!! It was the funniest thing I ever witnessed!! I'm laughing so hard now just remembering the incident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! People were rolling in sand laughing! Bette was totally humiliated and left the beach!

I started dating this guy my first year of college, and he was a big music buff- knew everythinh about everything to do with bands, videos, etc. Well, I was trying to impress him by saying I was knowledgeable, too (which I totally wasn't). He asked me what my favorite Led Zeppelin song was... well, I know nothing about heavy metal/70's stuff. So I tell him, "Oh, they must be new! What do they sing?" He just looked at me like I was crazy! I turned about three shades of red when he told me that they are a legendary band- one of the best of all time. I learned a lesson that day- don't act like you know something when you don't!!!

JoNo, I feel your pain. 'nuff said.

Jolie, can I be your neighbor? (okay, Knight, stop stalking Jolie before she calls the cops)

Alright...I'm finally feeling brave enough to relate one of my most embarrassing moments.

When I was around 7 1/2 mos pregnant, DH and I arrange to have a day off together and we spend the day at the Dallas Zoo. While exploring the petting zoo, I manage to trip over a tree stump and flatten a baby goat. Not only that...but later on that night after we get home, I am in the bathroom getting ready for bed and realize that my left shin is one big scrape/bruise.

[Jolie C]

Hey, TOV, maybe that experience is also the baby goat's embarrassing moment... "Yeah, there was this time when I was totally flattened by a human. Right in front of my friends! So humiliating!"

Hey, are there any cops on here? I want to report a stalker...

My most embarrassing moment was when I went to a fine winery in Napa Valley. I was trying to act like I really knew what I was doing. The gentleman pouring the wine was very distinguished and probably in his late sixties (BTW, he KNEW what he was doing!) and I was determined to make a good impression. I sniffed the wine before I drank it, I cleaned my palate afterwards, yada, yada, yada.

Well, here is the good part. Mr. Distinguished gentleman asks me if there is anything else on the menu I would like to sample. I see a wine that seems interesting named Foch. So, I tell Mr. Distinguished gentleman that I want to try the Foch ( I pronounced it FOCK). Mr. Distinguished gentleman stared at me in horror and disbelief and then in a very calm and anguished voice he explained to me that it was pronounced FOSH, with a long O.

So, instead of coming off as the wordly intelligent young woman I wanted to portray, I came off as the backwoods hick from Georgia!


My husband and my Dad tell this story at EVERY get together and they think it is the funniest thing in the world!

The tampon stories reminded me of my “moment” this past fall when I was in Oman (in the Middle East) on business.

I was flying out of Muscat at about 10:30 PM. It appears that the vast majority of the flights leaving Muscat do so between the hours of 10 PM and 2 AM. I guess it allows for better connections out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Anyhow, the place was a madhouse! There were hundreds of Indian and other types of expats checking huge TV sized cardboard boxes wrapped in blankets and tied with rope or twine. Apparently, luggage is a luxury that they don’t imbibe in. They were even putting plastic jugs of liquid through the x-ray scanner! Oh my gosh! Gasoline or some other explosive! I was sure of it! I gulped hard, bit my tongue and said a prayer for my flight.

When I placed my suitcase and briefcase on the scanner, the security guard immediately pointed at my suitcase and demanded I open it. What?!? He allowed shady dressed men with huge nondescript boxes and bottles of liquid to slip right through, but he wanted to inspect the respectable suitcase of a white US woman? I unzipped the suitcase and he began to dig into one of the corners of my bag, truly on a mission to find my contraband. He was unconcerned about the obvious feminine clothing that he was coming into constant contact with. No, he knew what he was looking for. He pulled out a sandwich sized clear ziplock bag containing about a dozen unused applicator-free feminine products (OB type). He held them in the air, and with knowing conviction in his voice, he asked, “What ees these?!?” I leaned over my suitcase and in a low voice whispered the “T” word. That word that men worldwide run from, in fear of ever having to shop for and purchase, much less touch them! The guard dropped the little ziplock bag back into my suitcase as though he was holding uranium and may have to go for a hand amputation. He backed up, waived the suitcase zipped up immediately, and rushed off. I laughed out loud as I zipped, unconcerned about who may arrest me for insubordination in the security line with my white “bullet shaped” illegal imports.

You are a very funny writer, CALIFLADY!

Ok, I'm ready to share since I thought of a story that happened a LONG time ago. When I was in elementary school, I decided to wear my favorite slick-bottom sandals to school. After I got my lunch tray, I was walking to my seat when my feet slipped out from under me and I went face-down into my mashed potatoes! :space: Even the TEACHERS were laughing! Since I went to a small school, the ENTIRE school was in the lunchroom and saw this. You know, I still hate to wear sandals over 20 years later. Today I can look back & laugh, but I was MORTIFIED at the time!

ROTFLMAO*

You sound rather accident prone, like me. In the last week alone I have had two accidents. One last Weds night at the local Lowes. We were buying seeds for the garden and as we were checking out, the cashier noticed one of the packets had come open and told me to go get another one. So I run around the end of the counter and *BAM!*, I smash dead on into the metal plastic bag holder thingie on the end and ended up with a large, egg shaped bruise. Not to mention a knot the size of a golfball. Everybody stared at me and I turned so red. It was *sooo* embarrassing.

And then the other night (you may recall the thread I posted about this...I know Jolie will ), I was coming out of the bathroom in the middle of the night and I guess I wasn't too awake. I managed to smash my foot into the doorframe and either slightly break or just really badly jam/sprain (I'm still not sure which it was) one of my toes.

Until recently DH insisted on using bricks (they were leftovers from bricking our house) for doorstops. I can't count how many times I would trip over the stupid things and end up on my face, causing DH to laugh his butt off at me.

Oh, I've had this one, too. Nothing like parents.

I wonder if my bf would kill me for these two.


One was in the comfort of our own home last week. There's a British comedy that we love called "The Office". In one of the episodes, a coworker tortures a fellow coworker by calling him on his cell phone every hour or so and says, "****" (a male rooster). My bf found this extremely funny. After we watched all of the episodes, we were talking about what our favorite scenes were, and my bf yells out, "Well, I still love "****"!" and said nothing else after that. I about died laughing, and it took him a few minutes to realize what he said.


He does lots of funny things, but he was pretty dang embarrassed on our last day in Vegas this past January. We were eating breakfast at the Paris Buffet, and he was in the middle of his French Toast when he sneezed...hard. And loud. Everyone looked at him. French toast landed in his hair, on his ear, and on his forehead. He didn't notice. I was laughing too hard to tell him, and our friend had to. Hehehe.

 

[fluffernutter]

These have been pretty funny.

okay here goes my embarrassing moment. It was at my wedding.

We had a disney themed wedding in an indoor amusement park. Well the ceremony went off without a hitch but then we all went to ride the bumper cars, and I tripped getting in the car and BOOM fell down and over the car hitting my elbow on the metal bumper. I broke my arm that day and was so embarrassed I just laid there bent over the entire length of the car until I could stop crying/laughing. Everyone came running over,not knowing what to do, and of course what could they do but break down and laugh
I didnt know it was broken until the next morning when we were scheduled to go to Disney(it was my hubbys first time to WDW) and I couldnt bend my arm when I woke up. So upon landing in Orlando we had to go to emergency room where they did xrays,and put my arm in a cast/sling and gave me strict orders to not go on rides,etc,blah blah. Hubby was afraid to come close to me the entire honeymoon. Needless to say I made it up to him the following year when we went back to WDW and went on every ride
To this day people still talk about our wedding and laugh and say there would be no way possible we could ever forget that day even if we wanted to,lol
