Did a search, and appparently this hasn't been done, so:

What're some embarrasing things that've happened to you in the past? We've all got 'em! ;)

I'll share some of mine later (I've got more than a few, hehe), but let's hear yours first. :D

No comment!

No comment!


I'm guessing you've had a few then, Phil? ;D

How 'bout if I tell one of mine, you tell one of yours, LOL!

I usually take forever with telling "stories" (I edit alot 'cause I like to get everything just right - maybe that's the writer in me trying to break out of his shell!) and I'm off to bed in a second. But tomorrow, I promise I'll tell a couple! ;)

Hey Marty, I was a waitress in a steakhouse years ago - I was only about 19 or something, anyways I was so nervous I kept going to ask people if their food was OK and stuff, generally making sure they were fine.
I still cringe about this now because  I must have gone and checked with the same crowd about 9 times or a lot more actually  cos' I couldn't distinguish who were my customers and who were another girls. Goddd sooo embarrassing  :-They seemed pretty sick of me by the end of the night   ;D ;D

At a colorguard meet many moons ago, I ate the follower immediately following our performance. It wasn't the fall that embarassed me it was what happened when I got up.

I stand up -->Pants leg get caught on shoe -->flowing pants w/ flimsy elastic waist gets caught on underwear -->Everything gets pulled down

For what seemed like the longest minute in my life I stood in a packed New Jersey HS gym exposed to the masses. :-[

I didn't make it to the bathroom in time while I was running so I crapped my pants :P  ;D

I heard that happened to a lady marathon runner. She couldn't stop to use the restroom and had to soil herself and kept RUNNING. That is a dedicated athelete.

I can't think of any, off hand....


...I run into a lot of doors...

I was in middle school and it was my "time of the month"....I was just finishing up a class and I got up to walk out....a friend of mine grabbed me and pulled me aside and informed me that it had gone through my pants....I had to call my mom to bring in new clothes for me....that was soooo embarrassing to me!!!!

I had the same thing happen to me in about 6th grade.  My mom picked me up to take me home.  Unfortunately, she had a couple of her and my dad's friends over (a husband and wife).  My mom told them I had an 'accident', and the husband assumed it was something else, and started telling a story about it happening to him.  I thought he was nuts until I figured out what he was talking about.  I was so angry at my mother for letting him think that, I yelled at her when he left.  She said she thought I'd be less embarrassed that way. ???

^ Hehe.

I can identify with almost all of these (I work in retail, AND I'm kinda clumsy!).

I just have to say, for those talking about "accidents" - I might be able to get into the Guiness Book of World Records as the only one who didn't use the school's bathroom all through high school. No joke. I took one look and saw how "nasty" the guys' restroom was and swore it would be "for emergencies only!" ;D

Of course, this meant ALOT of close calls.

(I live only a mile from my old HS, so I walked to and from everyday - there were a few places along the way that I'd often have to book it for, LOL!)

Sounds like Paul Finch, aka "sh*t-Break" from American Pie!  ;)

Another of my several embarrassing moments:
I fell asleep during a date.  And, no, it was not during a movie or anything dark.  It was in the car on the way there and back.  It's also possible that I dozed asleep during dinner... :o  Not Narcolepsy either.  Just staying awake too long... :D :D

I grew up in East Texas where most people talk kinda funny. The principal of my Junior High had a particularly nasty draaaawl. At the final award assembly for the eighth grade, he was announcing the awards for honor roll. My best friend was called - always the A student. And I heard my name called. I left my seat and walked out into the gym/auditorium. My friend was looking at me in shock. I knew that some mistake had been made because I was fortunate to even pass that year. Turns out my name was not called but someone else's. I was mortified.

There is an embarrassing follow up to this.

Seven years later during my second attempt at Junior College, I walked into the room assignment for my English class. There I found the same friend (no longer best having drifted apart - but we are together again now - another story...) sitting in the classroom. She was so happy to see me and I was shocked to see her in my (dip-sh**) English class. She asked me how I was doing and did I like the teacher (who was very good and much in demand). I was confused and told her I must've lucked out and gotten the hot teacher without knowing it. Then she mentioned that it was an Honors class...the classrooms were re-assigned and I did not know.

Double youch! Those are two embarrassing tales. I am NOT telling anything having to do with flatulence or sex!

Well, if the guy was boring/unintersting, that wouldn't be too far-fetched of a thing to happen!

Oh, I've almost fallen asleep in class before (say, if I didn't get enough sleep the night before). I'm VERY familiar with the "sitting at a desk with the eyes slowly closing and lurching forward" syndrome! Even more embarrasing when you're "caught". :D

NOTE: Trying to prop your head up doesn't work either!

I have a new embarassing moment - when I posted about an embarassing moment and no one read it!

I hang my head in shame :-\\

I love these commercials on TV that advertise these drugs and at the end during the quick talk they tell you the side effects and "diarrhea" is always a side effect, it's mentioned as if it's the most normal thing in the world   :D

It isn't? oh.

look up any medication online, then check the side effects   :o

Diarrhea is very common. I like the term "anal seepage" myself.

I read it, I just didn't have a comment on it at that moment... ;)

Wow, I have so many...

but since this one has affected me for months...

I am white.  My husband is Hispanic, therefore I have a hispanic last name.  Amazingly, people are so nosy that I am very used to people commenting on that.  ("You don't look Mexican!"  Is your husband Mexican?")

Anyways.. I have this male friend who also happens to be hispanic.  Sometimes we meet at Starbucks when one of us wants to b*tch about our significant others, or just talk about life in general.  So, awhile back, we had planned to meet there, but I got there early, so I ordered for both of us.  When I gave the lady my ATM card, she asked me "Does your husband speak Spanish?"  Thinking that she was yet another person questioning my last name, I said "yeah."

I was a bit shocked when she proceeded to say "Oh, because last time you guys were in here, he said 'Adios' when he left."  That was when I realized that she thought my friend was my husband.  I was really caught off guard, so like a dummy I didn't say anything, I just took the coffee and sat down.  When my friend got there, I decided to warn him, so I said "Don't bring your wife here, that lady thinks we're married."  I explained what happened, and he thought it was hilarious!  He started playing it big time, like yelling out "Come on honey, we have to go pick up the kids now" and stupid stuff like that. 

To make matters worse, my HUSBAND goes to that same Starbucks all the time, so when I'm with him and he wants to stop there, I have to wait in the car.

I suppose that's embarassing, but as long as your husband knows about it, who cares?  Let them think you're having an affair.  ;)  It's none of their business anyway, right?

um.  he doesn't know. :-[

Then that could cause a problem!  :D  I guess I wouldn't want to tell my husband that I didn't correct them, either.    :P

My faux pas tend to be verbal and at work, lol. Of the many I have had during my time there, the most embarrassing was a joke I had with friends at the lunch table.

The manager was often taking a certain beautiful young lady into the interview rooms and we got 'suspicious', lol. I said 'He's probably giving her a good one-to-one (work speak for colleague interview)' not realising he was sat at the table next to us, lol!!!!

That was pretty serious, lol, so I tested out whether he heard me by smiling and saying hello when I saw him next. Luckily, he was oblivious to it.  ;D

I used to work at a resort in Hilton Head Island, SC tending bar, after work one night instead of driving home 50 miles a friend invited me to stay at her place. The next morning when we got up she thought it would be a good idea to go swimming. I didn't have a swimsuit so she gave me a pair of white boxer shorts to use as a swimsuit. We get to the beach and start swimming, after I leave the water I notice that the boxer shorts once they became wet were almost 100% transparent, I quickly laid down on my towel until i dried off

Embarassing Moments:

When I had a car accident with somebody in High School that I knew. That was embarassing. Its always worse when you have a car accident and you know the person. Luckily this happened a week before I graduated high school so it wasn't that bad.

I had a group of friends back in High School and one of them claimed a wrote them a letter that I didnt like him or something. He then showed everybody the letter that I supposedly wrote and I was basically disbanded from that group of people there after. In truth he wrote the letter because I think he was jealous of me and that I was taking his group of friends away from him or something. That was mean as heck now that I think back on it. I was disgusted at the time because I was lonely for the rest of the year after that. Those people were not friends thats for sure.

I have another one: one time I was with my Mom at a library and the librarin thought that my Mom was my girlfriend. Talk about embarassment.

Another one: whenever I liked a girl in high school rumors were always going around about it. I hate when people spread rumors about me and what my flavor of the month is(what girl I like.) Like its anybody;s business?

High School is the worst possible place for a teenager to spend their day.

Ok, maybe that's overstating a bit but to be around other toxic kids...yuck!

I was going to say that I am too embarrassed to say but I will tell THIS one.


When I was in high school, our cafeteria had about 5 or 6 steps leading down. It was the second day of classes and I was walking into the cafeteria and saw a friend of mine I hadn't seen since the school year before. I said really loud, "Hey, Curtis" and took one step and the heel of those "wonderful"  ::) platform shoes got caught on the first step and I went flying down and landed on my @$$. I started laughing out of embarrassment and knowing that it wouldn't had been so bad if I hadn't just "annouced" myself as I came in. But what really was the kicker was one of teachers came over to me and instead of asking me if I was ok, said, "Had a good fall? We will see you next spring" or something like that-only adding to my embarrassment. I refer that incident as my "Great entrence".  :D

I sort of agree with you.

In high school, I backed out of a friend's driveway, right smack into the car parked across the street.  Unfortunately, it was someone we went to school with, and every time I saw him, he had to bring it up.  Thank god I never see him anymore!  :P

Here is a MAJOR faux pas that I did while working at a movie theater's box office. Keep in mind that this was Post-9/11 so our theater adopted the policy of checking customers' bags.

Me: Welcome to Loews may I help you?

Male Guest: Yes can I have two tickets to blah blah blah

Me: Sure that will be $20.00. Sir, please aware that this theater does have a policy of checking patron's bags before entering--

he interrupts me
Male Guest: oh really...wow...why?

Me: jokingly Oh we just want to make sure that you don't bring any bombs into the theater

The guy then gives me a look I can barely describe. His female companion just stared at me with her jaw dropped. after about of minute of this the guy digs out his credit card and literally throws it through the slot. It is only when I go to check the card that I realized my error....The man's name was Mohammed Al Qarib or something like that. D'oh!!!

I would've apologized had he not stormed off and called me a "B--tch" under his breath, That was sooo bad :-[

I know the feeling when I came back to school the next week everybody was teasing me about it. What a horrible feeling!

I think I posted this in a similar thread on this board, but not to go into a lot of detail... if you have any photos on your digital camera that you don't want anyone else to see (besides your girlfriend) erase the card before letting your parents use it ;)  :-[  ;D

i put what i thought were my contact drops in my eye and it was super glue :o i snagged my contact just before my eye glued shut ::)

Or have more than one person done this?

i don't think i've ever posted about that so maybe someone out there is as dingy as me :o ;)

I didn't make it to the bathroom in time while I was running so I crapped my pants :P   ;D



you should keep a pair of "Oops I Crapped My Pants" handy. ;)

Oh man, that's hilarious ;D

The most ever embarrasing story i have was probably the day I accidentally fell asleep at work.  I was a shift-worker doing Data Entry, and it was around 10pm when i suddenly dozed off.  My boss noticed I was sleeping, so she came over and tapped me on the shoulder.  I was in such a deep sleep, that I awoke very suddenly, and the first thing that I said was "She was 18, I swear".  I don't know what I was dreaming, and/or why I said that, but it apparently became my catch phrase in the office.  Those were fun times there.  Me and my co-workers used to joke around constantly.  Since it was a night shift, we could get away with lots of stuff

I can't think of any. :/

I walked into a lampost once. That's the best I can think of.

How would like it if you couldn't think clearly and you kept holding your ass while running fast heading to the bathroom and you wind up not making it? ::) ;D

I would not like it one bit...that's why I was suggesting keeping a pair of "oops I crapped my pants' on hand. :) ;D

One day while on my work I noticed that I was wearing mismatched shoes! Thank God I was the only one who seemed to notice the entire day.
