Your most embarrassing moment......

Madame Razz

I embarrass myself a lot......and I'm the gauchest person I know.......so that never a good combination!!!

I've fallen on my arse countless times, whether drunk or sober; and I turn on my ankle at least once a week.

I've backed into a wall with my boss in the car(i never saw the wall:o)

I fell over an Echoboys papers in Cork once, and sent them flying.....cue a torrent of abuse from him at the top of voice, much to the amusement of the rest of Patricks street, and a friend publicly humiliated me when I was in first year at college infront of a group of his engineering class mates.

At the races this year, a helicopter(well, its blades) sent my dress flying up over my head, exposing myself to half of ballybrit.

And that to name but a few episodes.............

In short, i mortify myself on a regular basis........anybody else got any more embarrassing tales to tell to make me feel a bit better about being so damn clumsy!!!

I threw up all over the dairy aisle in work, I fall a lot, I kissed some guy then got him and his brother mixed up then re-introduced myself to the one I kissed (messy messy messy) on more than one occasion.

I fell asleep while kissing one of my exes.

I broke two of my toes and had to wear ugg boots for a few weeks, got hammered while in the stupid things and slipped in a load of mud, got stuck in the puddle of mud (on my own after getting a taxi home from college) and woke up completely caked in it with my jeans left on the kitchen floor.

I fell in a club and pulled myself up with some guy's leg.

Many more to follow but I'll step down briefly.

One of my many embarrassing moments was when I was walking down Grafton street, which is always packed, with a friend of mine. I was wearing a short skirt and all of a sudden she pulls the skirt over my head..... :o
thankfully I wasn't going commando that day.....

I've also been knocked over countless time while in work by large hyper dogs, never looks sexy to fall on your arse.....

Rozabeez

Oh yeeeeeahhh I got hit by a car while talking to the brother (not the one I did actually hook up with) and his friends, well, I was crossing over to talk to them and a car backed into me. Now that was classy.

Oh god...things that happen to me most days:
Tripping over, walking into something (im very weary of running into poles when walking on a footpath), keeling over on my ankle, forgetting what I was going to say, walking upstairs to get something, and when i get there i cant remember what I was looking for.


I also have a lot of those 'where's my pen' moments.
Answer: 'in yer mouth'
Where are my glasses?
Answer: 'on my head, i thought i was still wearing my contacts'.


Biggest clumsy moment within the last month:
Jumping off a swing in VERY high heels cos I thought a guy was nicking my phone. Landed on my ankle, was on crutches for a while.

Biggest Embarrassing moment in general of the last month:
Was in a club with a friend of a girlfriend of mine....he bought me a sambuca and a jagerbomb (despite me telling him numerous times I felt sick as it is)
Few minutes later we were kissing, and I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom, and I said I would be back in 3 minutes.
I spent the next hour getting sick in the bathroom in the nightclub.....sexy!!!
The poor guy heard I got sick right after I was with him and he was mortified!

Oh god I've so many other ones, if I was writing about them I would be here till 2020

Nursy

Tripped on my trousers and miserably fell on the floor beside my boss's desk.
Played an entire rugby game with ripped shorts and mud in my knickers...

Loopy

I have a few too, the most embarrassing was (I have posted this story before).

I was 17 and at a funeral of a guy in our gang that had died tragically. Anyway, I was approaching his mother (very nervously) to offer my condolances and just as I got to her a bird shit all over my face. Mortified was not the word:eek: All my mates were in bits laughing and the poor woman just burst into tears...

kingtut

I'll add a male embarassing moment....

Went to my friend's new house....It was in a housing estate so all the houses were identical. Thought I saw my friend waving inside so I walked inside - no answer at door so walked straight in - a common practice in her old place).....turns out that I was in the wrong house and that she just looked like my friend.....walked out and went into the next house :mad: highly embarrasing!!

Oh I did something similar in a car once...was getting into what I thought was my parents car....turned out it was just identical to ours

JaneyMc

Was in work a few weeks ago and the girl sitting beside me had a weird Lucky Strike Cigarette box that opened on some weird hinge. In a very quiet office i announced "Aw there's nothing special about my box"!

molly(",)

i got sick in my friends handbag :( with her camera and purse n evertyhing in it :rolleyes:!! i was fairly drunk in my defence .........and was walking up a lader in work in front of every1 and stood on my tracksuit bottoms and they pulled down not all dat way to my anlkes but enough to make me go bright red !!

Whispered

When I met my OH, DVD players were not too long out, so I was sitting with his friends, they were all talking about their dvd players and I piped up from the corner telling them that I had a "normal black bush"

Oh, and in my old job we didn't get overtime we got "days in Lieu", which was shortened to DIL on the holiday board. So I had a day off, and the accountant took it as a holiday. He wouldn't listen to me, I got very annoyed and said, probably too loud "yes I was off on friday, it was a dil though"

Raze_them_all

Back in school we used to all go down town for lunch (100 or so more kids) anyway this one day there was a bus load of girls stopped on the square... so i turned around walking backwards to point them out to my cousin...fell over a sign...in the middle of town. EVERYBODY SAW:(
Also flailing my legs like i was trying to swim while being choked for something going on tv was fairly embarrassing:o

Creamy Goodness

was fairly drunk at a house party and was falling asleep on the couch, woke up to the guys watching one of those tv shows where you call the girls up and they like take their clothes off.

when i woke up they changed the channel and one of the guys said "are you ok?" to me as i feeling sick a bit, and i said "awwh but boobies make me feel better". it's been my quote ever since

another one was in a mates house and fell asleep in his bathtub, whilst locking the door behind me. woke up with smashed glass over me as they thought i was drunk. but the bath tub looked comfortable.

JaneyMc

Walking out of school. I was lighting a smoke (my school were cool about these things) in front of 30 or so more people the wind blew, my fringe blew straight into the flame and caught fire.


I also woke up one morning really late, ran down for the bus, sat on the bus for 30 mins and as I walked in, some little gimp from first year roared "Young Wan, you've got your jumper's on inside out". 40 mins I'd had the thing on in public.

Zaph

When I was 18 I was in a pub close to home and met a guy I'd gone to school with. Got chatting with him and his mate and the subject of jobs came up. I'd just got my first bank job and the mate asked me if I'd been working up to then. I told him I'd been working in the local Dunnes, at which point he asked "Do you know Mick Brady*, the fruit and veg manager?". I answered "Oh yeah, dopey Mick, everyone takes the píss out of him because he's so brain dead. Did you work in Dunnes too?". "No", the guy answered, "He's my father".



* Not real name, not to protect the innocent, I just forget his real name.

Kya1976

so keep in mind that I'm not a native speaker, I was sitting in a car and we had the ac on and I went oh it's nice and fanny in here.....

I was walking up Henry/Mary st. a few years ago when I guy tapped me on the shoulder, I thought it was one of those 'have you got a quick moment for a survey' guys so when he said "Sorry love, but your showing your pant's" it took a few seconds to cop what he was on about...I was wearing a pair of nice cream slacks which had somehow split in the ar$e and I was displaying my red thong to all and sundry *cringe*

Messing with a (now ex) a few years ago, I was trying to dance all sexy for him as you do, but somehow managed to catch the heel of my metal spike heel boots just behind the knee of his suit trousers and ripped them to his ankle on one side.
It was a brand new suit he'd bought the day previous. V embarressing!

sam34

i had hooked up with this guy i had been wanting for ages, finally got together on a drunken night out. i had high hopes for this one, but i drank waaay too much and conked out asleep while giving him a blowjob . things between us have never been quite the same since!

good god woman, what were you doing wearing a red thong under cream trousers??!

sam34

just remembered another one, not my fault but v embarrassing- i was standing in the corridor talking to my cute male boss, whom i kinda fancied, when a patient walked past. the patient was high and disinhibited, and as he passed he made a very rude comment about my (big) boobs. morto!!

LolaDub

Ah the cringe moments. I was on my way to a fancy dress party dressed as a schoolgirl, coming down the connolly station ramp a good old gust of wind comes along and blows up my skirt, was wearing hold up stockings and a thong underneath, the poor grandad behind me nearly died! The major embarrassment was a rugby team at the bottom of the ramp 'praising' me for my choice in clothing and undergarments:o

Futurecrook

Im not the only one! At last. I mortify myself on a regular basis. Some of my worst ones however....

Ringing the hairdressers to book an appointment and instead of asking for a "wash cut and blowdry" I of course ask for a "wash, cut and blowjob". I was so embarassed I didnt turn up for the appointment...

Walking through town one day, about ten minutes after getting off the bus, when a woman comes up to me and goes "sorry love, your dress is caught up at the back." My dress was caught in my bag and my ass was on show for all to see. Thank god I was wearing tights, it made it slightly less mortifying.

Out on a work night out, got pretty drunk. So after the pub in the business park closes, me and another guy decide to go to the local to keep drinking. Problem being, at this stage were both more than a little drunk and the local pub happens to be a pretty classy establishment. Anyway, we somehow manage to get in and get a table. I go off to the bathroom and on my way back I had to walk up two steps but instead I tripped and fell flat on my face. The pub was really quiet that night and everyone saw. It was so embarassing. Especially as I liked the guy I was out with....

There are more. Even more embarassing. I shall try to remember them.

jagabomb

most embarrasing moment has to be when i was about 12 or 13...
was doing an irish dancing show in the everyman palace in cork... the place was full btw.. the performance ended with the dancers standing in a V shape-me being at the front ...anyways, the curtains closed....BEHIND ME.:o:o!
i was left standing out there scurrying around (looking for a gap in the ridiculously heavy curtain) in my hideous dress and wig with the whole theatre laughing at me... ohhhh the shame ill never forget it ! had to run off the side of the stage in a tizzy! hahaha....

The Bollox

was at <snip> on Sunday and out in the beer garden (if you could call it that) I heard a very unnerving tearing sound as I stepped up on the right hand side (there's a large step there). the tear went right across my crotch, from front to back.

It wasn't that big a deal in the ambassador but I was staying in town that night as I had work the following day. oh the shame of walking around the office with a gaping hole on the arse and front of my pants. the roars of laughter whenever someone walked behind me up the stairs will stay with me for a good long while.

Thank **** I didn't wear my Sponge-bob boxers that day, that's all I can say

Futurecrook

Oh god, I just remembered it. The memory I've been trying to repress for about 8 years. When I was younger I was in a stageschool. So we were doing one of our annual productions and I had a solo. Im there belting out the song and having a great time when, coming to the end, I somehow look down and realise that the zip on my trousers is open (in a very obvious way) and there are about a hundred people in the audience... The embarassment!

chickenhawk

In a pub in america. Big group of about 15 girls were standing around and no guys had made a move yet. So I decide i'll give it a go. Walk up and start talking to two of them with another six or so listening in.

As an opener I was asking what background they came from. I explained that since I came to america everyone told me they had Irish relations.

One of the girls told me she had a German-Italian background. I said that means she is a sleazy b1tch (it was a joke that worked at the time).

The next girl said she was Indian-American. So I start telling her how none of us could find a place to buy a good curry sauce or powder and we were all missing curry. I went on for a good while about it (seemed like a good idea at the time).

She is looking confused and says "what's a curry?"

I say "What kind of Indian are you that doesn't know what a curry is!?"

Her "Eh, I'm a native American Indian!!!"



Que all her friends laughing and me just burning with embarrassment. No redemption from that. When they seen me leaving later on they asked me to stay cause they hadn't laughed that hard in ages.

Way way too many list but heres a couple:

• Started a new job that required on the job training, so I was out visiting customers with a brand new collegue in the UK, I was holding 2 folders his and mine crossing a busy street, suddenly a bus came out of nowhere and I had to run to get across the road. My high heel on my left leg got caught in the hem of my left trouser leg and I landed on my face on the asphalt, I didn't have any hands free to put out, so my cheek, teeth and forehead stopped me, I jumped up realising the bus and everyone else on the road had stopped to see how I was. Collegue was a bit of a knob and rushed me into the customer, and I had to give a presentation with a thick lip, grazed face, when I finally finished I sat down and lifted up my trouser leg, to see blood dripping from my ankle, all over their office.
  
  
• Working in a call centre, had a tight white sleeveless vest on with a white bra, I leaned back and stretched and snapped the front fasting of my bra, had to sit stratigically all day.
  
• Call centre again, was working the night shift, the usual Pervy bloke kept smiling at me all night, I finally mentioned it to a collegue, who said "Ah yeah its probably cause your flys been undone for ages, and you can see your red thong"!.
  
• Being a senior member of a gymnastics squad, doing a floor show for the parents, I fall doing a very basic move and break some toes, never went back as I was so embarassed.

I really am day to day the clumsiest person alive, I astound myself sometimes.

Nice guy.:rolleyes:

Embarassing moment eh......probably when I was reporting on my schools football matches and I was in the dressing room after the match. I was about to ask the thoughts of a player(incidently the local nutjob) and he screamed at me "what are you looking at you ****ing ******?" Highly embarassing as my best mates were on the team and a teacher that I shared mutual respect with was the coach.:(

I'm allergic to nutjobs.

Did you interview him after that, or run out mortified?

What could I do? I went red and shuffled my way out of the dressing room. I'm not the type for a witty comeback and furthermore the guy was too unstable to insult.:pac: But it was widely accepted in my school that he was disturbed(too bad he was a good player) so no-one thought anything less of me for not saying anything back to him.:)

good god woman, what were you doing wearing a red thong under cream trousers??!

They were heavy cotton type slacks so except for the gaping hole in the slacks they wouldnt've been visible otherwise!:o

Had another 'moment' when visiting a now ex's family for the first time.

The mammy had kindly given me a cup of tea, I went to take a sup of it as you do, but my hair got in my face so I went to flick it out of my face.
Only I did too energetic a flick and ended up spilling half a cup of scalding hot tea on my thighs.
It was a painfully clumsy maneouvre & I'm sure the poor woman must've thought I was having a fit between the head flicking/tea spilling/lepping up with the scalded thighs.
Needless to say I didn't visit his family again in a hurry :rolleyes::o

Stheno

I'd a terrible habit of asking the blokes in work if I could grab them later if they/I were busy at something and I needed to talk to them.

I also regularly fall over my own feet, just last week I managed to fall up some steps in work, land on my knees at the door to reception and spill and entire cup of coffee all over the steps

The entire afternoon everyone coming in was giving out about the state of the steps, after I'd spent twenty minutes mopping up

Also have a regular habit of doing the chair balancing act and leaning back as far as possible whilst not losing balance, am not very good at it and have landed on my arse in said chair on several occasions

pretty-in-pink

Slipped on some wet stairs in a pub, went down them on my bum. Was the only sober person there. Not fun. Oh no.

Sending a text for my fella to my brother by mistake, and his friends reading it before him cause it was only from me, and they thought it would be nothing much, just "where are you" (the joys of getting lost at ******), instead they got a big string of filth. That was *very* embarassing

Crash

Meeting group of the girlfriends friends for the first time. Went to charlies after a few beers, stood up to go to the bathroom, twisted slightly too fast, chair and me both go back. Lay on the floor for a minute just going "ffs" to myself.

on top of this, I haven't been to the gym since an "incident" last year.

Imagine the scenario, I feel like going for a bit of a jog after some other cardio exercises. Right says me, time to hop onto the ole running machine. Dum dee dum, jogging for about 5 minutes, thinking about all the stuff I have to get done, when I lapse just a tiny bit too much and my left toe catches my right heel.

I stumble, end up right at the end of the running strip, desperately trying to run faster, needing to hit the button, and failing simultaneously to do both. My feet shoot out from under me, my body follows, and I hit the ground behind, where once again I lie there going "....ffs". Cute woman nearby asks if i'm ok, I claim i'm grand. I stand up, glad that the place is half empty. and I look up.

And realise the only security camera in the entire place is pointed directly at that single treadmill. and I hear the laughs from the desk upstairs.

Smart Bug

Great thread so I gotta share:

Meeting an ex-es folks for the first time, along with my ex-es (much) younger sister in their gaff. Anywho, we were chatting away when the subject of snoring came up. Little sis says:

"Mary* snores all the time. I bet Smart Bug knows that."

Deathly silence ensues and Mary flees from the room, leaving me glowing red under the (in fairness, quite amused) gazes of her folks.

And being caught by another ex-es oul fella when I was catching a nice grope of her boobies in their living room.

*name changed

This thread is full of win and awesome! What could be my most embarassing moment is actually one I'm very proud of (the context makes the difference).

So, I was about 12 months old (there's the context). Old enough that my father was happy to be throwing me up and down without fear of me breaking. But, as he found out to his detriment, young enough to vomit without hint or warning

On one occasion he was lifting me up and juat having a general laugh. I was apparently delighted. So he lifts me up above his head and does that kinda smiley type thing you do when you lift a baby above your head. Big mistake. Bang! Vomit. Straight. Into. His. Mouth.

Nice!!!!

Cathmandooo

Walking home down my road I saw a car pulled up outside my driveway and someone getting in. From afar it looked like my brother getting in and the car was similar to his mates. Car pulled away and was driving by me, I was standing on the kerb ready to cross the road so I was literally right beside the car and gave them the biggest wave ever. Turned out the car was just full of random blokes who happened to spot their mate walking up my road and picked him up :o:o morto!

Oh and I called my boss dad one day!

not morto for me more so for my parents....
Anyway ya know when you start school(back in the non pc days) and they tell you in about africa and how the blacks were dirt poor living in poverty and what not???
So we were out shopping one day and lil 5 or 6 year old me see's a black couple and announces to my mother " look mammy look at the poor people" while standing there pointing.

TheBrig

Cycling past two arch-enemies I was in school with on our way back to school from lunch...I whizzed past them going "don't be late for school girls ha ha ha" - crashed into railings and they both climbed over me tangled up in my bike going "don't be late for school now...."

Wearing a wonderbra in work under a tshirt - boss runs up behind me to say "I think you've dropped your shoulderpad" - yes, pad from my bra, he was just far too polite.

Turned up at identical twins birthday party with a present for just one of them. My face when the penny dropped...ugh and the pathetic attempts at trying to "explain"....

Falling down the stairs from the top deck of a double decker to land on my face.

Sitting in Connolly waiting for a train, a drunk came up singing at the top of his voice, whole station looking, he sat down beside me, started singing to me much to the amusement of everyone, then stopped suddenly, leaned over and puked all over my legs and shoes.

Stayed over with my new boyfriend on our first date (yeah I know but hey its still going strong!) - walking around his house just wearing knickers and his t-shirt, doorbell rings, he goes out and I hear mumbling...he comes in and says "go up and put more clothes on, its my mam" - she was told to stand outside while HEATHEN SLUT here runs up to clothe myself, sweating, then had to sit and have polite conversation for the next half hour -the top I had been wearing the night before was not the type you could wear a bra with, so I was Radio Moscow while trying to discuss the weather with her. (she loves me now though )

There's more but I just can't think of anymore at the moment...:o

paperclip2

An early one but I still cringe.

Aged 11. Summer camp, art lesson. I get up to get more paint, sit back in my seat, SQUELCH! Some effer had left the brown poster paint on my chair. Big dirty brown mark on the back of my white shorts. Had to spend the rest of the day looking like I couldn't use the bathroom properly.

God.. There's too many to remember I think but I'll try.. The most recent one would be walking up the steps of the Curragh at the Dubai Derby trying to look all cool and sophistacated in my glad rags and sunglasses and missing the step and going on my face infront of my OH and an entire stand full of people

When I was a kid and had just gotten my Communion School photo taken, you know when everyone gets to wear their dress to school about a week after the event.. Anyway.. Everyone else got to keep there's on for the day, but my mother insisted on coming up to my school and plucking me from my class to change my clothes so the dress wouldn't get dirty... I was so mortified.. She actually came into the room and asked could she take me to the loo to "change me".. Needless to say I never lived it down..

Lets see, what else.. Oh yeah I was walking down the quays one day with an ex of mine and we were crossing the road and the drawstring from my jeacket got caught onto the back of a truck and I was pulled a few feet, was heavy traffic thank God and he managed to untangle me but there was a group of lads standing watching the whole thing and laughing their asses off

There's loads more.. I'll come back when I've thought of them..

When I was in second year I used to meet a big group of friends every morning and walk to school, one Monday morning we were walking through the field we normally walked through and I felt something down the leg of my trousers. I proceeded to put my hand down the leg of my trousers to retrieve what ever it was to the amusement of all the lads.
When I pulled it out I nearly died, its was a pair of my Mothers knickers!
Obviously got in there in the wash, I got slaughtered in school for ages and even now when I met them 15 years later they still bring it up.

We lived in Latin America for a couple of years. One year we went to a parent teacher meeting which lasted a couple of hours, half way through the meeting they paused for coffee and snacks. We got talking to a couple who told us they owned a large coffee plantation and grew organic coffee, I looked down at the coffee I was drinking and told them to bring some of their coffee for the next meeting as this coffee tasted like sh!te, I didn't know where to turn when he told me "That is my coffee".

I've had more than a few embarrassing moments, including falling flat on my face while trying to run to catch the T in a very crowded Harvard Station in Cambridge a few years ago, and having to recite the Preamble to the Constitution for my entire primary school and completely blanking on the words.
But one of the most was on senior prom night. The prom dress is probably the biggest part of prom, and I spent months finding mine. It's was a really nice white gown - vintage, Audrey Hepburnesque. So the big day rolls around, and I get my hair and make up done. My boyfriend had made dinner arrangements beforehand for us and another couple, so we went to dinner, and when the waiter brought out the food, he slipped and it ended up all over me and my white prom dress. So I had the choice of showing up to my senior prom wearing my formerly white dress and that evening's dinner or going home and wearing my mother's old wedding dress - which was a 1970's disco gown with giant red polka dots. Giant red polka dots prevailed, and I went to senior prom looking like a groovy extra from the movie Carrie.

There are dozens if not hundreds of coffee plantations in this area, the chances were slim.
