Oh Jazzman, thanks for linking to that one. That poor woman -- it was good of her to share that hilarious (mortifying) story and as a post after her pointed out, she's also a really good storyteller.

My dh, dd, and I were at Typhoon Lagoon last summer. Dh and dd were waaay, waiting for the huge wave to come. Not me, don't like that huge wave. So, I'm standing in water up to my waist. Pretty safe, right? I thought so. The horn sounds, the wave materializes. My dd and dh go up about 15' in the air on the wave...I wave....I go bum over head, so to speak, hold my arm out straight to balance myself and ........shove my hand right up some poor unsuspecting gentlyman's bathing suit!! Yep, right up his leg, practically to his waist!! So, how long can a woman stay under water before drowning?? I just wanted to die, right there on the spot. He just looked at me and shook his head.

OH my goodness! That's hilarious!

That's funny you posted that! I thought of that thread when I saw this one here.

That's one of the funniest things I've heard.

The Hall of Presidents seems to be a popular place for embarassing moments.

Then suddenly my daughter jumps up and down, pointing at the stage and hollers in a VERY VERY loud voice ...."MOM that is the man that LIED and did BAD things!" This was right after the Clinton debaucle. I yanked her down quickly and crawled as invisibly as possible into the back of my seat...while the entire theatre burst out laughing!!

The joys of children!

My 6 year old did the same thing in 2002. God she's a smart kid!

Oh my god, I was literally turning red while reading that story! She must have been so embarrassed! What a good sport!

Seriously the most embarrassing thing I've ever heard happen to anyone, period!

My most embarrassing moment at Disney occcurred in 1986 at my grad night. No alcohol etc was involved. But I was so excited at being a senior and at Disney . You know I was cool. So my group of friends all decide to go on the carousel. We are all dressed up skirts, dresses. I am in a skirt so it is side saddle on the horse. The cute guy from school walks by and we are all trying to be sooo cool. (Oh, No we are not really dorky kids who still love the carousel.) Well I, the klutz of all time, in twisting around as we went around so I could maintain a good look at him to see if he was watching us.... I fell off the horse. And of course everyone was watching. Soooo embarrassing!

 

[all4fun]

These stories are so funny...Thanks for sharing.

I also had a truly embarrassing moment on our last trip to WDW. I hope I don't get flamed for this one...it was an honest mistake by the mother bear in me.

DH and I were at MK with my ds and MIL. MIL was watching ds while DH and I went on Splash Mtn. She saw a shady spot with some free bench space and moved the stroller there. Well after we got off the ride, we went to where she was waiting and this woman sat down on the curb a couple of feet from us and lit up a cigarette. I immediately advised her (stern but polite) that she should find a designated smoking area. She pointed at the sign (under an ash tray ) about 5 feet from where I was standing. I must have been so red. I immediately appologized as I scooted away with ds in his stroller.

Please don't flame me! My ds has chronic lung disease due to prematurity, which is the only reason I reacted so strongly. I asked my MIL why she was in that area and she just hadn't realized what it was until that particular person lit up, otherwise, she would have moved away sooner. OOPS! So if that person happens to be reading, I truly appologize.

My embarrasing moment took place in August of 2000. My bf (now fiance) took me to the World for a vacation. I had never been there before. Our first day, we had priority seating at Donald's Breakfasosaurus at AK. Oh my gosh, everything was perfect and the food was awesome. He's teasing me about getting pics with all the characters and what not. (I was in my late 20's at the time.)

The waitress comes up to me and squeezes the fake ketchup bottle thing in my face and it blows air all over me. I completely freak out and have a panic attack. I'm crying, hyperventilating and acting like a complete loony bird. She's over apologizing. The supervisor comes over. I'm crying and trying to calm down.

My fiance is explaining that I was attacked several months before that and I freak out when things are pushed into my face and startle me. (Stress trauma or something)

The whole thing was awful. I was so embarrased. All those poor little kids around us. They are probably scarred for life. The waitress-- oh I have no idea what her name was, that poor woman. I just wanted to get out of there.

My most embarrassing moment at WDW would have to be when I was walking down Main Street right before the parade, when my ankle twisted in the indentations in the pavement where the trolley track is. I then proceeded to do a fall, catch myself, fall, catch myself routine halfway down Main Street before finally falling on my face. I think the people were taking bets on whether I'd save myself or not. I half expected signs with 5.0 for score.

My other embarrassing moments are trying to get the ECV on the busses.

Heres some pretty embarrasing moments..
we were at MGM eating at Prime Time (1950s theme)...well as you know, you arent allowed to put your elbows on the table...Well of course, i did, and the waitress caught me THREE times...so she made me get up and do "Im a little tea pot" in front of the WHOLE resteraunt! My family was laughing so hard!

Not only is my tale embarrasing, but also self-inflicted. I only share it as a cautionary tale for other scardy-cats. This story has been posted before.

------------------------------------------------
Um, guys, well, you see, I have to admit here that *I* actually got off Splash Mountain mid-ride once. Not my finest moment, but I'll share here to serve as a public service.......

First of all, it did *not* cause them to evacute the ride (maybe that's a post-9/11 thing?) and I was not the only one to do it that day (in fact, I was not the only one to do it that *hour*).

See, I don't like heights, drops, rollercoasts, etc.. That should have been enough reason to not go anywhere near it, right? Well, a combination of reports from people who described it as a 'must see', guidebooks that said it was not a big deal, and the general WDW "high" I was convinced to give it a go.

We left the kids with MIL at Country Bear Jamboree, and DH and I boarded Splash. Throughout the ride, I tried to enjoy the entertainment, but found my anxiety increasing exponentially with every little drop--each of which I was *certain* was the big one. By the time we stopped, queued up for the big hill, I was out of my mind.

We were just sitting there--and there was a large, flat (safe-looking) area right next to our vehicle. Right at the end of this large area was a DOOR. This door beckoned to me--imagine it illuminated in the darkness with bright lights.

I still would have not gotten out, but DH says to me, "Go ahead--that's what the door is for--for those people that don't want to go down the big hill!" Now, I'm an educated woman, not naive, but at that point he was telling me what I really wanted to hear, and I chose to believe him. I've never asked if he was joking on me or really thought that was true. Of course, the peals of laughter when I bring up the subject are enough for me to drop the subject.......

So I get out of the d@mn log. It barely takes a second for the intercom to pipe in,

"MA'AM, STAY WHERE YOU ARE. A CAST MEMBER WILL BE THERE TO ASSIST YOU MOMENTARILY."

Remember--there are a line of logs waiting in this little area--all eyes on me now. I go to the door and try to hide in the corner until the CM shows up.

My lovely DH *then* decides that since I'm not going down the hill, I should perhaps take his hat. So he throws it down onto the flat area and asks me to grab it for him. This leads to,

"MA'AM, STAY WHERE YOU ARE. A CAST MEMBER WILL BE THERE TO ASSIST YOU MOMENTARILY."

So I go back and hide in the corner again.

About a lifetime later, CM shows up. Nice young man asks if I could just sit tight for a minute while he goes to talk to the other riders. He then proceeds to make fun of me to everyone lined up in the ride........

Finally he comes back and takes me out. I had a nice little backstage tour, which I might have enjoyed if I did not want kill myself about then.

As we go back, he asks me if I want to wait for DH outside, or at the exit area so I could meet with him right as he got off. I decided to wait near the exit area (third or fouth mistake of the hour). He sits me down on the bench with an eight-year-old, who proceeds to sidle up to me and ask if I got off the ride too. He then began to talk at high speed about his experience, which was more than I could take.

I quickly got up and left, proceeded out the exit, and *blatently* smoked in the not-designated-for-smoking area.

Oh, michygoomy! That is so funny, if only I had seen that door the one and only time I rode SM.
I had a slightly embarassing situation when I unexplainably developed an uncontrollable "potty mouth" (I normally don't use swear words, unless I really hurt myself or something) when riding BTM for the one and only time. I quit doing roller coasters of any kind when I was very young. I hate that feeling in my stomach. But my sis talked me into it, saying it doesn't go fast and it's just like the way I drive. Well, I knew I was in for it when a gentleman waiting in line motioned for me to turn my hat around backwards. My little nephew was sitting with my sister in the seat in front of me, and a friend was seated next to me (btw, the friend and I are now married, but at the time he was just along on the trip staying in the room next door as my best friend). It was during an e-night and I remember going up the hill and telling my sister "you know I hate heights!" then burying my face in my friends arm and saying the "F" work over and over until the ride ended, uncontrollably! BTMRR is the ride my nephew now refers to as "The ride that makes Aunt Lori cuss!" It was a shocking experience for us all.

I hope you dont mind me bumping this up, but this is a wonderful thread!

I don't know if this counts, but while staying at BWV I flushed the toilet as I was changing the toilet paper. The holder (which has a very springy spring) soared into the toilet. I was mortified, called maintenance and about 6 hours later we were able to use the toilet again. I was told that at the BW the toilets aren't gravity flow toilets and although we were on the 2nd floor this thing made it's way up to the 4th floor before they could correct the problem. Can't believe they still allow me to be a DVC member!!!
Thank you Mickey!

Easy. You should have said "Well mine doesn't give a ****."

okay here goes..... My story also takes place at TL and includes loosing my bathing suit. My DH and I were on our honeymoon in 1993 and while in the wave pool a man next to me apparently thought I was drowning after a large wave sucked me under. So he lifted me out of the water but my top had been pulled off and his hands took its place!!! That poor man turned about 12 shades of red! LOL
