So, do you have an ****embarrassing****moment you'd like to share?

Here's mine (well one of many of mine):

It was last fall, and I had just picked up my son, daughter, and her friend who spends afternoons with us during the school year. MrG had just replaced all of the windows in the house. It being a warm Indian summer kind of day, I decided to open the windows and paint the moldings. The kids were settled with a snack, so I grabbed the paint and headed for the bathroom to do that one first. Using the toilet as a stepladder, I began painting the moldings. Of course, with my hands full, this was the perfect opportunity for my son and daughter to start the age old sibling bicker, squabble, wrestling match. I ignored it for as long as I could and then hollered, "DON'T MAKE ME GET OFF THIS TOILET!!!!!!"

Dead silence...

and then...."Nobody laugh!" Me, withholding a giggle myself. And then I looked out the bathroom window and saw the neighbor, who was outside playing with her sons, staring up at our bathroom window. I didn't even try to explain...

Do you have a moment...or many...like this??? Share!!! :hi:

proceeded to make a Xerox copy of something I was going to fax, so that I would still have the original after I faxed the copy. My supervisor and some co-workers stared in disbelief as I did this.

I have posted this before; it is one of many public blunders I have made.

:hi:

I could bore you to tears with my embarrassing moments.

...as a Network Engineer, I got a call to fix network connections in the "Phone Room" (where people call in to ask questions).
Anyway, I was lost deep in my thoughts concerning IP addresses, Sub-masks, Gateways and other IT stuff.
One of the Woman during this time was telling the room how her Dear Mother had died the day before.
Brilliant me, still lost in thought, said: "Yeah, there's a lot of that going around" ....
I then realize what I had just said and looked up to face 12 Horrified faces staring at me!

I took another 10 minutes to explain my insensitive words...Geez...

coming home one day and as I got to my driveway a dog was walking on the sidewalk in front on my house, I turned on my signal to let the dog know I was turning. Reflex I guess. Dog wasn't impressed.

I'll bet it was a "Rover"....Yeck, Yeck. :)

I'll get stuck on saying no to everything, and then when they ask a question with an obvious yes answer such as,"Don't you care about us?" I'll end up saying no...Bad Mommy. At least the 14 year old knows by now that I wasn't listening. :hi:

I hope your co worker forgave you. :hi:

because the lid was stuck. Then right as a bunch of people walk into the room the box opens and thumbtacks fly all over the floor where they are walking. A few of them wore sandals, they were not amused.

:hi:

The most memorable one I have is where I was in class, and everyone was leaving. There was a girl seated behind me, and my backpack was rather heavy. I swung the backpack onto my back and the momentum was so great that it carried ME over the seat and onto the girl's lap! That was very embarassing!

The visual on that is hysterical. Thanks slink!!

:hi:

I was going to mention in my cover letter that some copy I had written was being taught at a college as an example of 'innovative marketing technique'. Instead I wrote that a college was teaching my 'innovative sexual technique'.

And I still didn't get the job.

I don't see how you couldn't have gotten the job. So far, you win. :hi:

That I'd at least have gotten an interview.

;)

a rejection letter saying "we think you're full of shit"

and happily concluded that my sub-concious felt that it was worth an entry on my resume.

I was drunk Friday night with some co-workers in the bar's Lounge. They started talking about sex. They were all women, but I chimed "Now all we need are some male hookers!" (they do know I'm gay, so who I ultimately insulted is something I'll never know. Actually, self-denigrating as I am, I naturally targeted me. After all, I know they've all got men of their own. Besides, there was uproarious laughter when I made the comment so, yup, I was out to make more jokes at my own expense as usual. :-) )

Obviously, I'm never going to get drunk again.

:) That's funny. But you're not responsible for anything you may say to incriminate yourself while drinking. That's gotten me through many a scrape. :hi:

Picture skiing at Whisler on a morning after a huge party with much beer and chile and trying to find a place to go to the bathroom quickly (!) without everyone else on the hill seeing me. Trees that high up don't have foliage down near the bottom. Got myself ensconced behind one large fir tree thinking that I was hidden. Then pulling my pants up and turning around I saw a whole group of people skiing by. Apparently, you could see me from behind AND you could see my behind. Pierre Trudeau was on the mountain that day - don't know if he saw me or not - but you never know. My friends still remind me of this when we get together and they all have another good laugh at my expense. Oh well.

Oops! ;)

I don't mind - been the BUTT of many jokes hahahaha:D

;)

Skiing, had to pee really really bad. So, with my friends lolling around on the hardpack, I skied behind some trees and pulled down my outfit. But, with my skies on, I couldn't crouch enough (dang female equipment). So, I took my skies off. And immediately sank in the snow, up to my waist, with my pants down. And, then, another party of skiers came by. At this point, I had to slide my skies out onto the ski run, and belly-crawl my way out there.

My friends were rolling around, howling. The other group of skiers seemed also to be amused at my predicament. And they recognized me later in the bar.

That is so funny, so very funny.

:7...and funny.

lol:D

In the fifth grade!

:7 My husband did this in 1st grade except it was throw up. :hi:

(Hi Matt!) and would probably still prefer I maintain a five-foot distance! :P :hi:

I have been laughing this whole thread through. Keep it kicked!

We took my 13 year old niece along. The three of us went to a shopping center where they were demonstrating how to make fudge. The guy had a huge slab of fudge rolled out and there was a crowd of people around his table watching. I had lost track of Will and my niece and was polking around the store by myself. Then I spotted Will in the crowd watching the fudge demonstration and I walked up behind him, put my arms around his waist and while leaning into him and hugging his back, watched the demonstration. Two or three minutes later, my niece tapped me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear "That's not Will, Aunt Jane". I was out of the store and on the street in a flash. This kid who I had been hugging had never moved, had never looked around to see who was hugging him! He and Will were wearing the same T-shirt. I was mortified.

Can you imagine what that child was thinking? Thanks for sharing that Raven. I've got a good giggle going picturing that. :7

I got ropped into driving my Sister to a distant town to spend a week with her girlfriend. I didn't know the town at all except for the directions given to my sister.

I also did not know that the town had a local celebration going on that weekend.

On my way out of town I decided to follow my "instincts" instead of the map and found myself somewhere in the middle of downtown. I thought the streets were a little crowded for a Saturday and got a little impatient at what appeared to be a large group of pedestrians blocking the intersection. I beeped the horn and sort of bullied my way through. When the crowd parted, I noteded that across the intersection was a line of people maybe 5-6 people deep and they were allFACING ME! I looked to my left and saw a float, followed bya a band coming at me. I TURNED RIGHT and found myself in the middle of a frickin parade!

I paniced for a monent and then realized that I had to go with the gflow until I could find a way out. I turned on my flashers, rolled down the windows, smiled and waved to everybody. After about two block the route turned off to another street but I was able to go straight and depart the parade...

and as quietly as possible sneak out of town.

the bitch teacher doesnt let anyone go to the bathroom (at least, not until this time)... As I recall (I was really sick) I had been holding back gas for the whole period, almost done... but finally it overcame me and out came an earth shatterer the smell of which filled the entire room.... she let me go to the bathroom after that one.

Jesus Christ Superstar (hey, it was Catholic school!)

I was Pontius Pilate. We had a lot of short-haired girls playing guys' parts because not enough guys wanted to be in the play.

Everyone said I was so great-- so dramatic!

So during the 2nd performance, I was doing one of my super dramatic parts:

"DIE if you want to, you MISERABLE MARTYR!"

The director wanted me to make a huge arm gesture, then turn on my heel and stalk past the audience to the back of the church.

I did my arm gesture, turned on my heel, and promptly feel flat on my face when my Roman sandal caught on the carpet. I was mortified, especially since half the audience was right next to me as I fell!

Of course, that's not really big news for me.:D

For some reason, I am prone to always say or do the wrong thing. Its become a standing joke among friends and family, sit around and wait for me to do something foolish. I wake up in the morning and say to myself: today is the day you dont act the fool. By bedtime its: maybe tomorrow.

Last week was 'prolly the worst in awhile: when I tried to burn down the backyard *sigh*

It was all just a misunderstanding, really, I knew what I was doing.

I process the orders that come in at work. When it's done being processed, I fill out a form about whatever mistakes where made. So I'm filling the form out and talking...well cursing specifically. I finish filling out the form and hand it off to my manager. She looks at it, cracks up laughing, and hands it back to me. I wrote that we were one short on the case of pinto beans fucking. I scribbled out the fucking and handed it back to her.

the tears are rolling down my cheeks roflmao
