Most embarrassing moment of your life?
Comments

Haha, I started blushing when I read the second one, dont know which position is more embarassing, his or yoursI wouldn't tell my most embarrassing moment here because they're all pretty tame here but I had a few when I worked in a cinema years ago.
1. A kid puked all over the lobby and in my rush to put down a wet floor sign I slipped on the puke and tried grabbing for my colleague to save me, caught him by the bollix and both of us ended up on the floor in the puke with him in agony.
2. When standing on what we called the dropbox you constantly said "can I take your tickets off you there please?" in auto pilot. There was an absolutely drop dead gorgeous fella coming towards me and my filthy mind obviously wandered because instead I said "can I take your clothes off you there please?" 30 years later I'm still remembered for that. About 50 people pissing themselves laughing and this poor fella going redder by the minute.

I was crossing a major intersection on a windy day and my dress blew up around my head and I couldn't get it down. I was wearing cartoon drawers too. I could hear people laughing in their cars.
I called my old boss Dad in a very big and very serious meeting. I call my dad by name so I don't know where that came from.
I greeted someone I knew in a crowded shop but it was my own reflection in a mirror and loads of people overheard.
Not that long ago, I saw my OH coming down an escalator towards me in a shop while I was waiting for him, and I gave him the finger-guns-of-love to the heart, did a little 3 part panto of holstering the imaginary guns, then realised it wasn't him. The shame.
Should have gone to SpecSavers.
So, so many more.
This thread made me laugh so much!
Candie, I can relate, I'm always doing stupid stuff like this regularly. My speciality is waving back at people who are waving (at the person walking behind me). Or waving and calling someone who is not the person I thought it was....

Since it was my first one, I was a bit perplexed by it all especially the contrast between my glowing body and the pasty white butt part where I had left the paper knickers on.:D
That reminds me, a friend works in beauty giving spray tans. She's had a few women put the paper thong on the wrong way around - they put the 'thong' part to the front leaving everything hanging out!0 -
Shortly after I moved into my house, my parents were dropping off a desk they were getting rid of.
I was just lazing around the house wearing harem pants (big wide legged drapey hippie things). And no underwear.
My housemate knows my parents so he came out to say hi then offered to help me carry the disassembled desk up the stairs.
Argh. I was walking a few steps ahead of him, carrying one of the panels of the desk which was very wide, so I couldn't really turn, and very heavy. As we're going up the stairs, with my arse RIGHT at his eye level, I just walk the pants right off myself. Couldn't turn, couldn't just drop the panel, trying frantically to balance the panel on the next step with one hand, grab my pants from around my ankles with the other, he's stood there with his eyes screwed shut, laughing his head off going "I saw nothing, I swear!" which was a very gentlemanly lie.
Every time he saw me for the next few days he'd start laughing again.
Oh, and on the bus theme. Last year I started to walk into work one morning then thought feckit I'll stop and hop on a bus, I was tired and a wee bit hungover. So waited at the next stop I passed, not my usual stop. Bus comes, driver opens the door, looks at me uncertainly and asks if I'm waiting for a bus. Eejit thinks I, why else would I be standing there?
He kindly pointed out that I was in fact standing beside an ESB pole about 15 feet away from the stop
I muttered something about how I can see the road better from this angle (ugh) and sat my dumb ass down. 0 -

Brilliant story about the trousers falling down.:D:D
When I was heavily pregnant I had resorted to wearing one elasticated maxi skirt that was all I had left that fit me. I stood on it in Tescos and the whole thing came down, I reefed it up really quickly convinced no-one saw me but I'm sure someone did on the CCTV.:D 0 -
Okay, another one that is actually making me blush thinking of it.
First romantic weekend away with a new Beau, hotel room in Paris, really small (as they all are) so the ensuite was within touching distance of the bed so I took immodium all weekend to make sure I didn't do a stinker.
Come Sunday the cramps were something else and I got up in the middle of the night to do a fart in the bathroom.
Well it reverberated off every wall in the toilet, hit the bowl and it was like thunder.:D:D:D
Woke him up, and he's knocking on the door going "are you okay love?"
I'd say it woke the room next door.
I swear to god I just wanted to drown myself in the loo.0 -

Yup, that was me once upon a time!:o (not for a spray tan, for a bikini wax - I guess I had the idea it was supposed to make things easier!)
You only make that mistake the once, though - I learned then.
I am also a professional in mistaking people for greeting me when they are waving to someone behind me, I always wave back and greet them enthusiastically as well. Just happened there a few days ago again.
And the vice versa thing - when they are greeting me, I usually think they are saying hi to someone behind me and so I do the Taxi Driver routine, while they laugh at me - morto!
Btw, only yesterday I was reading up on psychopaths, as you do, and an article said that if you wanted to test if someone is a psychopath, ask them the OP's question. If they don't have an example or they take a long time to think of a story, it is an indication, as psychopaths tend to blank out embarrassement from their memory, it is too hurtful to their precious ego, but they will usually cook up a story after a while. May be hokum, dunno.
ETA: oh, there was also that time when half the city saw my butt, similar to Candie's experience, but what the heck, that's more funny than embarrassing to think of it now. I posted about it here a couple of years ago!0 -

When i was young around 10 maybe my mother sent me to pay for some bottled gas , as i went into the shop i notice a wire rack with books about cookers etc, on the way out when passing said rack the toggle of my coat [which had a hood] went in someway to the wire rack, and for the life of me i could'nt get it out, so i'm at the door pulling rack and hood while the assistant is standing at the counter looking down at me she must have thought i was having a fit of some sort, have e never forgot that day all those years ago.
And even though it probably felt like two mortifying hours of embarrassment to you, the shop assistant probably barely registered a kiddy getting in a fumble and probably never thought about it again.
It's funny how things that feel huge to us are probably barely notable to an observer.0 -
