Most embarrassing moments.....

[Flybye]

I need a good laugh now and then as do we all. I found a thread about embarrassing moments related to riding, but none for just everyday ordinary embarrassing moments. I know that is a Q on the getting to know you page, but this will be a little more compact! If you don't want to share your own, share someone else's "moment"
Now, let's see who is brave enough to go first? Bwhahahaha!!!!

OK, you said we could share someone else's moment, so here is our all-time family story about embarrassment.

My oldest brother and his high school sweetheart got married when they were 20. They had abstained before marriage, and were the picture of a young, blushing couple.

The reception was at our house, and as they made their way to the car for the big farewell, my Dad felt compelled to say some parting words. Being an old B-17 pilot, he was from a different era, and had some older-fashioned vocabulary.

The young couple was off to the wet, windy, rainy coast for their honeymoon, and my Dad innocently called out to have a good time and "Don't forget your rubbers!"

He meant rubbers like galoshes...for the rain...the kind people used to wear over their shoes.

Fortunately, someone snapped pictures of my brother's face...BEET RED and disbelieving. His wife later told me that he spent the first hour in the car ranting about my Dad's cruelty...but it was just a mistake.

There is also a snapshot of the local judge's wife literally falling over into the bushes in all-out laughter.

My third year teaching, I came out of the ladies room with my dress tucked up in my panty hose, right when the bell rang. OH BOY.......

My sophomore year in college, I drove back from break and forgot to call my parents when I got there so that they would know I got back OK. This was not something I would normally do, so I was in my room hanging out with some of my friends who also lived on my floor and all of a sudden a campus police officer showed up at the door and asked for me. It turns out my parents were worried enough that they actually called the cops and sent them to check on me!!! This would be embarrassing no matter what, but it was even worse since I knew all the cops on campus because I was on the student EMS squad and we worked closely with the campus police. Then to top it off, I got a huge earful when I did call my parents--they were mad!!! I never again forgot to call.

When I was 2 weeks into my 16th year, I was backing up on the street next to my high school in my brand new Camaro.

I sideswiped a parked car. I needed to find the owner of the car I hit. There was some sort of elementary school bee at the school that weekend and since I didn't recognize the car, I figured its owner was part of that group.

There were 400 people in the school cafeteria waiting for the results of the bee. I walked in and everyone got quiet in expectation of receiving the results.

I asked if there was the owner of a XXXX with license ##### in the room. A woman timidly raised her hand as I announced to 400 people that I had hit her car.

Of course, I had also accidentally left the keys in my car, locked, with the engine running. That was an interesting call to my parents.

The cop was just couldn't stop shaking his head...

LOL - in Aust we call erasers rubbers. So you can imagine the shock when my husband offers to lend a girl at work his rubber.

25 years ago I was in Orlando Florida for software training. The class lasted two weeks so we were all well acquainted. One day during break I announced I was going downstairs for a pop, would anyone like to join me?
Silence.
Thinking the chatter in the class had drowned out my offer, I repeated it.
Stoney silence.

Finally the instructor said, "In Nebraska where she comes from, they call soda 'pop'".

Then I learned that in Florida, pop was slang for drugs. My face was red!
Now I say soda even in Nebraska.

"I came out of the ladies room with my dress tucked up in my panty hose"

I did that once, too. Made me paranoid for years. Up till then it was my favorite dress. I don't think I ever wore it again.

I can honestly say this has not, nor will it ever, happen to me

A few years ago, I was crossing a road and managed to trip over the kerb and fall flat on my face... right in front of a busload of seniors on a day trip! I was a bit dazed and had a few small cuts, but was well looked after by seniors saying "now you just sit there and recover, young man", "have some tea", "would you like a lift back your hotel" etc.

I was at the cottage with my inlaws, and i the little composting toilet, is well little, and i guess, i missed the toilet and the paper landed in my undies, with a little sticking out my shorts. My niece caught it before anyone else saw...

and then just yesterday...i fainted just as i finished a lovely lunch with my hubby. I started to feel dizzy and the next thing i knew i was staring up at half the restaurant, with this nice lady putting a wet towel on my forehead. I was actually quite relaxed as i came to, i thought i was in my bed! So when i opened my eyes and saw all these people, i couldn't understand why everyone was in my bedroom then i remembered i was in the restaurant, and then i couldn't understand what i was doing on the floor. I went to the hospital. the doctors figured out i had vasovago syncope (not Hincapie hahahah, although that might be much better hahaha) which mean....wait for it...i fainted . I love the medical profession.

Funny part, is the firemen showed up first, and my husband announces
" hannah here are a bunch of hot firemen to help you know, that should make you feel better".

I had just graduated from high school and me and my family moved to a new town for dad's job. Well, I was grocery shopping one day and one of the stockers saw me and started to flirt.

He stood on one side of the aisle while I was facing him on the opposite side. He had his back to the feminine products.

He asked several times if he could help me locate something and finally I told him, "Uh, could you hand me the Kotex". His face turned beet red, and then his expression changed to horror as he realized his zipper was down!

Thanks so much for the laughs...keep them coming. Oh, the humanity of it all

I am especially thankful for the laughs this week because my youngest (a daughter) went to first grade this week and the house has been quiet and lonely. Waaa..... All three kids are in school now and it is time for a change around here. Fall of 2008 I am going to get my masters degree in counseling.

Well, I can't start a thread like this without sharing my own most embarrassing moment, can I now?

It was that awkward age, you know the one? Pimples.....chubby...... little hairs sprouting in unwanted places..........barbies hidden away and played with only in secret........ look at boys out of the corner of your eye and hope no one notices that you are interested. That age.

Well,my mom had purchased a swimsuit for me that had drawstrings running from the armpit down to the hip. I thought that it looked "hot" (okay, getting a little red in the face just mentioning the word "hot") when I cinched the drawstring up pretty tight so the swimsuit looked like it had french hips. My mother would have been mortified if she knew I did this, by the way. Anyhow the only problem with cinching the hips up was that it pulled the top down too far, exposing my, um, er, "bumps" (whew, hotter, redder ) My solution to this was to put a crop top t-shirt on over the top. Fantastic!

Well, a friend and I were swimming, me all decked out in my "hot" swimsuit and some boys were following us around. My friend and I were going on a waterslide that emptied into a small pool surrounded by windows. On the other side of the windows was the mall. Onlookers. The aforementioned boys.

We got off the slide and stopped in the pool for a second and I decided to take off my shirt and wring it out and forgot that I was exposed up top. I thought it would look cool because I remembered seeing a commercial where a woman did the same thing. i thought it would impress the boys - was I ever wrong. They started laughing. We didn't see them the rest of the afternoon.

I never cinched my swimsuit up again, and you can bet that my daughters will never own swimsuits such as this.

Oh yeah? Just wait 'til you start wearing a kilt! Never say never... (Edited to add, well maybe not the pantyhose part!)
