Cringe worthy moments.

Un Croissant

Is there any memory you have that causes you to absolutely cringe, or leads to a downward spiral or remember cringe moment after cringe moment?

1. I was trying some Caesar Milan sh*t on a strangers dog and he went for me.

2. As a child a friends mother said I had a nice jumper on. I said thanks and left, but a minute later I returned and said 'my mammy says blue is my colour'.

3. An A&E nurse calling me a f**king idiot for waiting nine months to admit a since diagnosed serious issue with my 'back passage'.

So AH, spill.

Went on a first date, for a few drinks.

Woke up in hospital the next morning, having stripped off and concussed myself

"Did you get my last text"?

Princess Peach

Somebody said happy birthday to me and then I said "Thanks, you too."

Haunts me!

Un Croissant

Also vomited all over my tuxedo at my debs because I got drunk over having to repeat my exams. I had never drank before so I wasn't ready for it. I was taken in a taxi to a house party where I spent the night asleep,naked on the sofa waking up in a drunken haze crying and everyone was there looking at me. My poor mother had to clean the tux and return it that day because it was a busy time for the shop.

Morto.

Someone text me once 'Can you hear your phone when I'm ringing it?' Cringed for them.

Jesus, I was at the GFs house for new years this year and her grandfather shook my hand and said 'Happy New Year Un Croissant' at 00.00

I replied 'Hi, how are you?'

I was visiting cousins one Xmas and a few of their married girls were home. 2 were pregnant...

...of course I congratulated the not pregnant fat one 

There's a poor fella beside me that's a bit socially awkward too.

Me: 'Happy New Year Neighbour' (not his real name)
Him: 'That's the main thing'

In all my years of wondering how to improve one's memory, I have yet to discover anything which comes even close to the brain's capability for recalling one's cringe-worthy moments.

Friend of mine, let's call him John, was buying some "goods" off some 50 cent looking son of a gun whilst on holidays. After the transaction your man went for the first bump, John went for the handshake. So there's John, the whitest man I know, standing there awkwardly shaking this mans fist!

Sir Osis of Liver.

Im constantly doing this.

Colleague:Good morning Osis.

Me:Morning Osis....

followed by awkward silence.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper style.

youtube!

So used to receiving 20 or more texts from Mrs youtube on a daily basis. Just out of sheer habit and a little affection for one another we would often sign off with "see ya later xx" or " I will pick it up in the garage on the way home xx", you get the drift.

A few weeks ago I was selling a drill on adverts when a guy rings me up and asks to see it, when he was close to my place he sends a text....

Him " Is that your house with the red car in the drive?"

Me "Yep tha'ts the one alright xx"


He thought it was hilarious though and paid the full price,me not so much.

Many a cringe worthy moment recalled just as falling asleep.

^^^^Just RTE in general tbh.

Two store related ones: Walked into a full length mirror and apologised profusely to my reflection. Much hilarity around me.

On a separate occasion I stumbled into a shop dummy, apologised profusely and set it steady again, adding 'Hope I didn't hurt you' for good measure. Should have gone to SpecSavers.

Also walked into a lampost once, too busy chatting to the person beside me to notice it looming. Apologised to the lampost.

Often thank the ATM when it spits out the money, cringeworthy when someone overhears.

Oh good Jaysus :eek:

Muise...

Got a taxi home one night, very stoned, drifted off into a daydream and forgot what a taxi actually is. When we got to my house I undid my seatbelt, leaned over, kissed the driver on the cheek, said 'thank you' and got out.

Oh god I don't believe I'm posting this .... I once had a vibrator dusted for fingerprints ... Beat that for cringe worthy!

Ha ha!!! I really don't want to explain the full story but it really is true! I was horrified ! But I still have it with the iron filings still attached just to prove to people that it really did happen. I'm blushing just thinking about it!

I'm sure I've done plenty of cringeworthy things, I just can't remember any right now.

I did something similar in a pub. The back had a mirror going right the way across. I hadn't been in there for years and forgot where the toilets were so I asked my friend. "Right down the back" said he. So, I went straight down the back of the pub and saw some eejit coming right towards me. The last thought I had before I hit was "Why won't he get out of my way? And why does he look a lot like me?" I was okay but a bunch of couples at the table next to me were in hysterics. The next time I went to the toilet they were 'helpfully' reminding me to turn right before I hurt myself.

The most memorable one of mine happened in Grafton Street in the morning of a weekday. Approached collector with Threshold charity box.......couldn't get any money out of my pocket......fiddled with pocket a bit harder.......keys....coins.....notes...spilled out everywhere. I picked everything off the street......gave donation to collector....

You were burgled and noticed that the vibrator had been moved, so they dusted it to see if they could find any fingerprints?

I have to know the crime story involving the dildo!!

There is a saying for moments like this, it's something along the lines of 'How are you?'.


I love this thread BTW

Got a new car. At the train station the following week, I was cursing the fact my key wouldn't work in the door. Then a lady said "I think this is me".

Wrong car.

yawhat!

No I was burgled, the drawer with the sex toys was upended so I took them all and hid them in the attic all except for one tiny little one all packaged nicely in its box noticed it before the Garda arrived so threw it into the boot of the car and forgot about it. A friend noticed it in my boot and said "what the **** you doing with a vibrator in your boot" and we were joking the embarrassment if it was stolen as well.

A few weeks later yep! You guessed it the car was stolen with the spare key taken in the burglary which I'd never noticed. Anyways car was recovered and had to be dusted for prints by csi and when I got it back there was the vibrator still in its box with iron filings over a finger print!!! So not only do they know I travel around in my car all vibed up now they have my finger prints too. Now if that's not cringeworthy I don't know what is! Fortunately I have a sex toy free house after that embarrassment ha ha. I can imagine the talk in the staff room the next day!

That's terrible. Getting burgled is awful but to give up your **** bank as a result? I feel for you.

I thought Muise kissing the cab driver was funny, but you've elevated the thread to a whole new level of cringe! I think this might be my favourite story ever!

Ha ha thanks! To make it worse I'm single now and I could do with my little "friends" more than ever!!!

Thinking somebody is waving, not wanting to be a dick thinking you might know them and waving back, followed by somebody walking up from behind and greeting said waver while you stand there. The longest 4 seconds in life.

That's not even a made up one.

Years ago I was hitching out of Sligo just past the shop at the traffic lights, a car pulls in and I run up and jumped in the back. Parents and daughter all looked at me with mouths wide open 😦, I say "how are Ye" and "thanks for stopping" father says "we're only going at the shop". So I apologise and they see the funny side of it.

Week and half ago I was waiting for a bus eireann bus from Ballina to Dublin. I was the only person there waiting. Wondered why until bus eireann driver came up to me saying last bus from ballina station had left for the day. I had gotten bad info off a certain website. Won't mention website here but such websites seem to be like certain smartphone phone 'repair' outlets here. That'll be all.

A few years ago, I was waiting for a bus home, minding my own business listening to a few tunes on the MP3 player to pass the time. Suddenly out of nowhere some lad walks full stride into the back of me, in a rage I turned to him and shouted "watch where the f**k you're going, you f**king sap!" It was only at that point I realised the lad had a guide stick in his hand and was clearly blind. There was probably 15+ people at the bus stop, some of the looks I was getting. It was another 35 mins before the bus arrived...
