Okay, I'll bite.

I was living in a flat with a friend when I was in university. She left early one morning and I noticed a big pile of clothes in the living room that she was planning on getting rid of. I rooted through the clothes and found a really nice pair of trousers and knew I couldn't let them be chucked, I'd wear them myself if she didn't want them. It didn't occur to me to wonder why she was chucking them out seeing as how they looked pretty good.

So I put on the newly-acquired trousers and head into university. They feel grand and they look quite nice. I'm walking through Front Square of Trinity, which is packed full of camera-laden tourists, bustling commuters and students. One of my arms is loaded with books and the other hand is holding a smoothie, and suddenly I feel the trousers start slipping. Before I can stop the inevitable, the trousers completely come undone of their own accord and drop to my ankles. I flung all the books and the smoothie on the ground and try to pick my pants up quick enough that no one will see, but I reckon a good hundred or so tourists had a good look at my smalls. Yep, the reason my friend was getting rid of them is because these trousers had a serious case of 'falling-down-itis'; the clasp was useless.

The strangest part was the thought process I had right after; I was CONVINCED my friend left these trousers out for me to find them, knowing I would wear them into university and therefore flash my knickers at tourists. How the hell I convinced myself of this I don't know!

(Adding insult to injury, I might as well add I was wearing really awful leopard print knickers that day. THE SHAME.

Was out one night with the girlfriend, working next morning, woke up in her friends house late for work and still drunk. Threw my clothes on and legged it out on the street to get a taxi to work, all the while bemoaning the fact that i was getting fat cos my jeans were bet on to me. Getting out of the taxi the jeans basically disintegrated, forcing me to get back in and go home with my balls hanging out (i always go commando). Turns out in my drunken stupor, i had put on my girlfriends jeans, she rang me later in hysterics once her and the mate copped what i'd done! The worst part is I wasn't even wearing jeans out that night!:D

My Mate shat on this dudes car bonnet but it was raining so it skidded down the bonnet and onto the ground.

Queue him jumping off the bonnet slipping in said poo, skidded over his back.

I'd been going through a bean phase a few years ago and was teaching an English class here. Accidently let out a fairly audiable bum-toot in front of the whole class. Had to carry on with what I was doing, pretending nothing happened. One of the students the next day requested a transfer to another class and I never found out why. Twas my only ever complaint so I'm presuming it was because of my musical botty.

Yes. I'm a bird and I know women don't fart and shouldn't talk about these things according to some posters here but there ye go...the joys of being in your 30s.

Walking home from work one night,reading the paper as I walked,I heard two women having the mother of all arguments on the other side of the street.

Carried on walking and reading,and then as I got near them,looked up to see what was going on................walked into a lamp post,they stopped shouting at each other,started howling with laughter,called me all kinds of names.

Couldn't get home quick enough

Iarnrod Eireann train a few years ago.

One of those new fangled toilets with push button mechanisms.

Any way, I sit down to attend to my business and suddenly the door begins to slide open quickly.

There I am, sitting pokerfaced and in shock, as the guy just says "Oh Sorry" and hits the Close button.

Then I notice the 'Lock' door button.

For some reason I have loads... but one really cringe-worthy one was a night out with work back in 2007.

I'd gone through a really bad time around then and we were out on a work night out as the CEO was leaving. There was loads of wine and after one too many i was in floods being comfortedby all the sales girls who in their drunken states decided to look after me and assure me I was OK to go on with everyone to the VIP bar at Lillies Bordello.

The whole thing was hazy and apparently we had all been told we could come in at 11am the next morning. I woke up the following morning and had forgot about the late start and headed in to work texting everyone I don't remember what happened and I am sorry if I made a fool of myself.

No-one was answering so I started ringing everyone - no answer. I got to work at 9am and the place was all locked up. I was sitting on the step fighting abck tears trying to work out what I had done that no-one would want to speak to me for.

Finally someone called me back and explained the late start so I was OK... till people started arriving and asked 'so, what was Crowded House like?'

I had no idea what they were talking about. None. Till someone said, don't you remember, you went up to them, you were singing with them for 40mins.... I had LOVED them growing up and had met them and have no recollection at all.

Not my finest hour, but I was assured I did have a good time.

I have been the other person in this situation - door creeped open to reveal an old man stood up with his cacks around his ankles wiping his arse.

A few years back, my girlfriend went for a few drinks with work on Christmas Eve. A few lead to a lot, as it does. She eventually goes home, as her parents are onto her to go to Christmas mass with them, so she goes, whilst hammered.
The church is packed, and stuffy. She realises that she's going to get sick, but is in the middle of a pew, so picks up her handbag, and fills it with vomit, in the middle of Christmas mass!

Oh, another one. I was at the airport one day flying to meet then-bf in London. I HATE flying so always have a few glasses of wine before I get on.

So anyway, this one evening, the flight was delayed hours so I was sitting in the bar chatting to people getting slowly tanked. Finally we were told we were boarding. I picked up my bag and walked to the end of the winding queue and plopped my bag down.

I was all smiles by now, no bother on me, and looked at the guy next to me who was staring at me wide-eyed and said 'well, about time, eh' I noticed his wife glaring at me but dismissed her and kept banging on about how happy I was we were finally going to actually take off blah blah and then it dawned on me... I was at the FRONT of the queue, not the back.

i stopped mid-sentence and said 'OMG, this is the front of the queue, isn't it' the wife screeched 'yes IT IS' and I apologised profusely as I started picking up the bag. The guy started chuckling and said 'it's OK, stay there' and the wife said 'NO SHE WILL NOT'

Cue me legging it back to the queue. Worst bit was I was the LAST person to get on and had to walk past all of the people that had been at the front of the queue glaring at me.

I then got stuck behind the drinks trolley on board and had to spend half the flight trying to stand upright until we got back to my seat where I could sit down again

Good times!!!!

In school, I auditioned for some crappy talent show without my shoes because I was self conscious about being tall and thought going shoeless would make me more confident (and the socks slid really well over the polished floor to "help with the moves") haha

At a family christening, they had a Karaoke set up.
It was coming up to Christmas and I put my name down after having browsed the catalogue, I decided to wow the assembly with my honed rendition of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas, War is Over"

But.......

After being called up, the MC said he didn't have that one with him :mad:
So, panicking I chose the first one I see that I remotely recognise.

"I just called to Say I Love You".

I now hate that song with a passion. It resulted in me singing for what seemed like an eternity the same lyrics over and over.

"I just called to Say I Love You, I just called to say how much I care"
"I just called to Say I Love You, I just called to say how much I care"
"I just called to say I loooooooove you"
"And I mean it from the bottom of my heart"

Ad nauesem.

I was riding someone on the living room sofa and my ma came down, she opened the door and closed it again. I was only 19 so I carried on, I was still a bit drunk, I called a taxi for her and went to bed.

The next morning I awoke got out of bed and I remembered. I got back into bed and I stayed there never wanting to get up. I eventually came down, with my eyes to the ground and I poured some cornflakes.

Then the questions began, who was that girl, I muttered a name, when did you meet her, "last night", did you wear protection, then a primal scream erupted "MAHHHHH stop asking me about this". My red face could be seen from space and it omitted so much heat it was interfering with the tele.

My da then made me clean the sofa and gave me a stern talking to about respect for women. The girl rang me about 4 to 5 times after that, she was nice and we did relate at the party and I did like her, but no-way was it going any further.

It was the worse most cringe worthy day i ever had.

Right, hold on here now. You're like, at least 44, and this all happened when you were 19. Like that was……back in friggin 1987?? :eek:

Your poor poor mother

Yeah and as much as I would like to, I can't forget that day. As embarrassment goes I have never surpassed that day.

Was bowling years ago with the football team, but on one of my throws my front foot got caught on the floor instead of sliding.

Cue me falling face first onto the bowling alley, with ball still in hand, and 20 lads behind me goes nuts. The whole place was laughing at me.

One time I was walking to school and I had a mad rip in my trousers,
felt a bit of chill so I looked down to see my flute hanging out!
I moved so fast to hide my shame I hit myself in the bag,
Pain and shame,very funny

i was on a bus going home from work sitting at the back of the bus with two young guys beside me and an older man about 70yrs in front of me. What ever happened but i either fell asleep or had a blackout but my head went right down on the old fellas groin area and i woke up all of a sudden and smiled and all that was going on my mind for the rest of the 20min journey was to ask him if he had enjoyed it as im a lady

smurgen

wasn't there for this event but it involved some of my best friends.... anyway my buddies were down the lough in Cork playing football,not a match just passing the ball and stuff. next thing the ball landed in a big dirty liquidy dog sh1te and was thick in it on one side.one of my buddies then crossed the ball in high to my other friend who hadn't seen it landing in the ****e. The buddie headed the ball perfectly leaving his whole head covered in the smelly,runny sh1te.He had to wash his face in the lough and run home

hahaha always do that

i tripped and fell onto the priest when i was younger on my way to communion
ive also fell walking back to my seat coming back from communion hahaha

Years ago my sister who was about 10 years of age went up for Communion and then came back and got the seats mixed up and went and sat on the lap of a complete stranger who was wearing a similar jacket to that of my Dad.

We were sitting about 4 seats back and i nearly got sick with laughter when she looked back to see us all laughing away at her.

The look on her face when she realised what she had done was priceless.
