Horrifically embarrassing things that have happened to you

    A couple of months ago, I was listening to music on Bluetooth headphones I had in the living room with my family. These headphones are really loud so if you turn the volume up its like they're speakers.

    So of course I thought I would go have a ****, and I immediately got very frustrated that I couldn't seem to find any porn video with audio on it, despite me turning the volume up to the very very max on my phone. At this point I saw the little Bluetooth icon and had realised the volume was still going through the headphones, in the living room where my parents and two little sisters are......

    I went into my room and buried my head in my pillow for the rest of the evening and breakfast the next morning was very awkward indeed.

    What are your stories?

    Yeah, this didn't happen.

    The ol "bluetooth story" is getting as oul as the hills now.

    I wish that were true but it genuinely did.

    I believe it. Something similar happened to me last week. The sound on my tablet wasn't working and I eventually realised that it was still connected to a bluetooth speaker in the other room, which was blaring away. Except I was watching the Vincent Browne Show and not porn.

    Worst **** ever.

    I accidentally casted 'It's raining again' by Supertramp to the tv in the living room of me Dad's house.

    *I have it set up for him to watch the snooker in case you think he's a tech genius

    Better than 'It's raining men'.

    The cheap tracksuit bottoms I bought from primark for running have expanded or broken or some ****, cos when I last went on Thursday, they fell down to my ankles about 5 times before I gave up the ghost and walked home holding the waistband up. On a busy road and all, I was mortified.

    Do not think too much happened to me worth mentioning - except that time of giving slightly wrong directions in my house to a drawer to my girlfriends mother - and realising too late that one error in the directions was going to lead her to a drawer chock full of sex toys rather than the drawer with the thing she actually had to find.

    Vicariously though one of the more embarrassing things to happen to a close friend was related to how you can set up a "Google+ event" on your Google Account. And google software automatically uploads any photos your phone takes during the duration of the event to this public space for all to see. However if you forget to put - or put the wrong one - a time and date where the event ends the pictures continued to upload to that public space long after you thought they would.

    Perhaps they have fixed that issue now - but at the time lets just say he engaged in some photo taking in the privacy of his own home some time later which he was led to regret greatly.

    I was deadlifting in the gym the other day and the sheer strain of it caused me to nearly cack myself, fart sounded like a slap of thunder, dreading going back :(

    Also a friend of mine's mother needed a torch for the attic and grabbed what she thought was a nice sturdy torch only for it to be his fleshlight... We've only recently started to ease up on him for it.

    I was at a water park in Spain a few years back and went on the scariest ride there, the Kamikaze, a narrow steep slide with hardly any water on it. I was terrified on it and it was painful going down, every bump felt like I was going to tip off it. Got to the end and wobbled over to my family waiting nearby. Orange watery scutter started to come out of me. I made a run for the toilets (a good 2 mins away) holding my arse but it was diarrhoea I had never experienced before. It was like Fanta coming out of my bikini bottoms and down my legs as I ran by loads of people. Cringe.

    Whilst I can't verify the legit nature of the OP's story, I can confirm it did happen to a friend of mine. It played out exactly like the OP (I'm not related to him ... I think).

    Most of my embarrassing stories involve me getting sick.

    Many years ago now, I was in my second week of secondary school in first year, so I was still getting used to the school and the teachers. Well I had this one teacher who had a reputation for being hard case so sure enough I got on the wrong side of him. Apparently he had given us homework which I forgot to do, and he started shouting at me. My nerves got the better of me and I got sick all over the floor right in front of the whole class. Was really embarrassing and my classmate never let me forget it. Even when I was in 6th year, people would still bring the story up and have a good laugh about it.

    Another time I was on Holidays in Lanzarote with my family. It was our last day there and we were getting ready to leave for the airport. I had already been sick that day so I wasn't the best, but I thought I had gotten better later on. The bus came to pick us up to drive us to the airport, and we took our seats. I sat beside my dad near the front of the bus, and sure enough began feeling sick again. I didn't want to cause any disturbance so I tried to hold it in until I got the the airport, but couldn't. I got sick all over myself in front of the entire bus, and they had to stop the bus and let me out. Eventually I returned to my seat, but it was a pretty embarrassing experience.

    I also got sick a second time while i was on holidays. I was in Florida a few years ago, and I was at Bush Gardens. I was queuing to get on one of the roller coasters when I started feeling sick. Similar to what happened in Lanzarote years before, I thought I could hold it in until I got off the roller coaster. Well, I got to the front of the line, and was taking my seat on the coaster when I puked all over myself. I had to get off the ride and go home after all that waiting. Turns out I got heatstroke that day.

    Happens more often than you'd think.

    I was out shopping with my mam and my sister and the children. We decided to get something to eat and headed to McDonald's. We were walking in and I didn't see the two glass doors at the entrance. I head butted the door and the pain was horrific. I was in so much pain and really shocked and most of the people sitting inside eating were staring at me. Of course my family thought it was hilarious and were laughing their heads off at me. I was so mortified that I walked away from them and went up to the counter and ordered our food. Then while I was being served the counter staff were asking me if I was ok and then purple with embarrassment I had to walk back to our table with everyone staring again and my family were still laughing at me.
    That evening I'd a massive lump on my forehead that went a lovely shade of black and purple and took ages to fade away. Then everyone asking what happened. The worst part is that it's not the first time it's happened to me so everyone had a great laugh while I was mortified.
