What was the most embarrassing thing to happen to you in a church?

As kids we had a family dog that followed us into the church without us knowing and then went on up cock his leg and piddle on the alter while the priest was doing the offering. He then looked down the aisle and when he saw us he came wagging his tail, everyone in the church started laughing. My parents were mortified.

My most embarrassing moment was when I got into a fit of coughing and nearly choked trying to stop!

Fainted. Although wasn't in a church but a graveyard, one minute I was standing the next the next I was picking myself up off the ground.

I was about eight years of age when I dropped the host on the ground, the place came to a standstill, the priest came down and picked it up. My face was as red as a beetroot.

Good Friday mass, stomach wasn't the best and as soon as the mass was over I walked outside and vomited in front of everyone.

It didn't happen actually 'inside' the Church, but just after Mass, I got into a car I presumed was my boyfriends parked in the car park ( it looked the same ) - just opened the door and hopped in announcing that 'Gosh, that was great...you should come with me sometime' (speaking about the Mass)
- when I looked around I looked into an astonished face of some guy I don't know, and his wife was sitting in the backseat hooking in their toddler -

A few profuse apologies through a beetroot coloured face and eventually I found the right car, with a highly amused boyfriend who apparently saw my mistake in the mirror.

Alter server fainted twice, on one occassion was off school all week with a bad flu but the ole doll made me serve on saturday mornin, wasn feelin well, ran out to the room in which the alter servers got changed & woke up to the whole congregation in front of me (roughly 10 people).

The next time was when there was an old irish missonary priest visiting saying mass, he went as white&the sweat was pissing from him, made my stomach turn, ended up i fainted, this time with about 100 people there, the priest ended up fainting too!!

But probably thee most embarrassing thing was when I was about 6, we arrived late into mass&i ended up sitting in the row in front of my family, sitting beside a really old woman, about 80/90 odd years old, i cant remember if i went up for communion or stayed there but the old woman did anyway coz when she came back down, she sat on my knee & stayed there til the end of mass, all the while i could see all these heads boppin up and down in hysterics!!! I tried to let her know but she must of been deaf!!!! & i was a scrawny little **** so i doubt she was too comfy either!!!

Not me, but my daughter. At her conformation she held the lighted candle too close to the miselete and.... yep up in flames. The bishop said something about the fire of the holy spirit and stuff but we were too embarrassed to even hear him.

I split my trousers when preaching once. That was embarrassing.

Getting tongue-tied on a bible reading which completely reversed the meaning of the passage - It was quite a while before I was asked to read again, but at least it proved the minister was listening!
