Most Embarrassing Moments!!

Most Embarrassing Moments!!

So how long do we have to wait for the new season to begin? I was trying to think of something to pass the time and get a few laughs at the same time. We did this at a party and everyone had such a good time with it. What we did was tell a story about a really embarrassing moment. I will start with one of my many embarrassing moments (I have many to choose from).:lol: :lol: :lol:

There is a place in Omaha called the Old Market. It is filled with quaint shops, French, Greek, Mexican, Indian, etc. restaurants. You can see people in a horse and carriage, as well as stretch limos. I love to go shopping there. It’s quite an experience. One day while shopping I went to the restroom, used a seat cover, being the ever so conscious person that I am. After using the restroom, I continued to the next shop I wanted to visit. I was having a good time. About an hour later, I ended up in a shop owned by a friend (male). He was standing at the register and when I came in he said look over at the wall, pointing to something new he got in. I turned around and he was around that corner in a flash. He put his arm around me and said, “Dee, do you always wear toilet seat covers?” He told me that I had one hanging out of my slacks. Oh my God, I was so embarrassed!! I had walked around and went into different shops wearing that seat cover. Don’t ask me how I managed to get it caught in the waist of my slacks. All I know is that I make sure I check myself over before leaving a restroom now.:lol: :lol: :lol:

Would you like to share a story with us?

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

I had approximately the same thing happen to me but no one else saw it but my daughter. We were laughing so hard. We went into a restaurant and were sitting there still laughing and the waitress wanted to know what was so funny but we wouldn't tell her.
Another time, we were at the rock shows in Quartzsite, AZ and someone had dumped a whole bunch of glass beads on the path in front of the booths and my friends and I were busy picking them up and putting them in our pockets. Then we went into a shop in town that sells beads, etc. and I whispered to the girls "I just had a thought, what if they think we were shoplifting and we'd be in trouble". We all were laughing a lot and the clerk came over and wanted to know what was so funny and I told her we couldn't tell her. She got really mad. I still laugh about it.
Luckily, I can't remember most of them. One I do remember I was in a declamatory contest when I was a junior in high school and got in the middle of my piece and went blank. The teacher was supposed to be prompting me and wasn't paying attention. It seemed like forever before I started to remember. The judges told me I would have won if that hadn't happened. What a disappointment. But, I did get out of going to my great grandmother's funeral. It was the same day and mother let me go to school instead because of the contest. I was supposed to stop on the way to school and visit her - but I didn't. Have you ever smelled when they had all that formaldehyde? YUK To top it off that was the only time I got to wear my new blue dress. My little brother got into the navy blue dye and tried to eat it and spit it out all over my new dress. I had to wear the same green one for several years every Sunday. Isn't it funny what you remember.

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

I know I can always count on you Granny to share a laugh. Thanks for sharing your stories. I'm just happy you didn't get picked up for shoplifting!! I just can't think of you being a jailbird. :lol: :lol:

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

That Old Market in Omaha sure sounds like fun. Maybe, I can get there some time. But, it won't be until the weather cools down. It was 109.2 here Monday and 102 today. And I've had to be out in it every day. And Monday was the day my daughter and I had decided to go to the outlet mall in Newton. Miserable!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

OK...in college the laundromat that my roomates and I used was conveniently located beside one of our favorite bars. We would take turns running back and forth transferring from washer to dryer, folding you get the idea. On a particular tequila night (25 cents a shot...it was the 70's), when it came my turn to remove a load from the dryer and fold I was going about my task when a guy who was a total stranger came over and said ..."excuse me, I believe that's MY underwear you're folding".

I remember a long time ago eating and drinking in a Mexican resturant. I had a few margaritas and needed to use the little girls room, but because I was a little drunk and couldn't read the spanish on the bathroom doors I walk very boldly into the mens room and proceeded into one of the stalls until I realized I was in the wrong restroom

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

Just remember another one. I was 17 and was walking in front of the YMCA (where I later met my husband) and the wind blew my dress up. I was so embarrassed. Sure got the whistles. There were a whole bunch of guys out there. Most of the ones that lived there were university students. It was at 11th & P. And boy did they like to say I need to go to 11th & P.:lol:

GrGranny.........you and Marilyn Monroe.....

When I was a young girl and a new driver, I took my parent's car to the drive through car wash. My car wheel didn't trip the rinse cycle lever, so I drove out of the car wash with my car covered in soap bubbles. I had to drive around the block and drive through the rinse cycle. (Of course the five other cars in line had to back out to make room for me.) I was so embarrassed....... 42

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

My most embarrassing moment? I guess it was while on a date - eating at a Chinese restaurant. I was so nervous, that I took a bite of a fortune cookie and forgot to take the fortune out beforehand! Realizing what I had done, I just continued to chew - my fortune! I don't think the guy knew what I had done (maybe he was too polite to say anything). Anyway, "that's the way the cookie crumbles!"

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

Another one, I was on a date and didn't usually take a purse, had my date keep my lipstick in his pocket. Went to the bathroom and my lipstick fell in the toilet. I was too embarassed to tell him what happened and when we got to my door he couldn't find the lipstick and just apologized and apologized for losing it.

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

I was at a family reunion last summer in the Poconos, which is located in northern Pennsylvania. I went horseback riding with my cousin and her friend, and then proceeded to fall off the horse. I was SO embarrassed. I felt so stupid!! My aunt told me not to be, but I couldn't help it. Not to mention I always felt a little intimidated around my cousin, because she's older and used to have this thing with making fun of me, especially when I was around other members of the family. Plus, I sprained my wrist. So that was not a fun experience for me.

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

<span style="color:blue;font-family:comic sans ms;font-size:small;">I was in my first trimester of pregnancy and not feeling well at all. Why we went out for lunch is beyond me. Anyhow, I went into what I thought was the ladies' room and remember saying, "How odd that there is a urinal in here." I went into the stall then heard a guy come in and do his business! I nearly fainted! After he finished, I called out, "I think you're in the ladies' room" to which he replied "I think you're in the mens' room". Then he left and suddenly that whole urinal thing made sense! Of course I looked on the door when I left and it was, in fact, the mens' room. I attributed my complete air headed behavior to my pregnancy.</span>

We must have thing for the men's room:lol:

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

Of course I’ve had more than two embarrassing moments in my life but these two just popped into my head.

When I was in high school I was in The Ballet. This was not the ’local dancing school’, this was the six hours a day, seven days a week, 50 weeks a year study of dance providing the basics and foundation for what was yet to come in my life. But I digress.

Each spring we would have a Gala Performance just like the professional traditional companies. (Madame studied under Fokine so almost everything we did was traditional.) For the dress rehearsal Madame would invite the school board/district ‘higher mucky mucks’ so actually this was a performance since it was up to them to continue the Ballet program funding.

There I was waiting for my entrance music; we were doing Rachmaninov’s Concerto #2 that year (5 . I heard my music, took a deep breath and entered doing a pas de bourree couru, en pointe. (For the uninitiated, ABT defines pas de bourree couru as a progression on the points or demi-pointes by a series of small, even steps with the feet close together or in layman’s terms, teeny tiny running steps on pointe shoes.)

I was doing okay until I hit approximately center stage and for some reason I tripped over my own foot, fell and went rolling over, and over, and over. I was so embarrassed but in the dance tradition, I stood up, faced the audience and asked, “Would anyone mind if I started over?” (Had it been the middle, I would have just kept going.) Madame was purple and the ‘dignitaries’ were smiling, so I just walked to stage left, took my entrance pose and waited for my entrance music. Needless to say, I caught hell, had a lot of teasing from troupe members and classmates but let me say that the actual performances were perfect. “I were good.”

Later the same year we were practicing for the annual Choir/Ballet show when the next moment happened.
We were doing a jazz routine to Steam Heat from The Pajama Game and the choir was in the orchestra pit. Because the combined Ballet/Choir rehearsals were in the morning before school we didn’t wear our practice clothes, we were allowed to wear shorts and tops. So there I was, in the front row, dancing my little heart out and really getting into the music when I noticed the choir members in the pit were laughing like all get out. Then I felt it. The zipper on my shorts broke and the shorts were staring to come down. Well this time it was the middle of the routine so I smiled harder, kicked higher, shimmied like my sister Kate and finally got my shorts down to the point where I could just step out of them. Not only did I step out of them, I kicked them out into the orchestra pit and kept on dancing. Did I catch hell from Madame, you bet your life I did. But it went something like, you know why you have twill tape on your laces, perhaps your mother could sew something on your shorts zippers that would have the same effect?

And dlksk8fan and RealtorGal; I too walked into a men’s room. This was during a college basketball game and had I had my wits about me I would have just backed out. Not me though, I let out a yell that made every one in the room turn around and look at me; then I backed out of the door.
I think that the designation should be Men and not Gentlemen or the noun in another language.

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

When I was 16, I was invited over to dinner at my first (serious) boyfriend's Dad and Stepmom's house. I was, to say the least, a tad nervous, wanting to make a good impression.

Everything was going great until we sat down to eat. J- passed me the butter dish, and when I went to slice a pat to put on my plate, I, not realizing the butter was still hard as a rock, flipped the entire stick of butter onto my chest (while wearing a blue, shetland wool sweater, no less). I was at a complete loss, and J- was of no help whatsoever as he was convulsing with laughter in his chair.

I got through it, but learned to always test the softness of the butter before taking some. :rollin:

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

All of your stories are just too good. Thank God, we can laugh at ourselves. I had to make sure I set my drink aside for fear of spewing the monitor and keyboard.:lol: :lol:

I love the men restroom stories and have one to add. While traveling by car to the east coast, I stopped at a rest stop to use the restroom. It must have been a popular rest area because there was a line. I just walked up to get in line noticing the beautiful long hair on this women (I thought). It was strawberry blonde with lots of curls. I stood there for a little while, sneezed, and when I did this person (man with a moustache) turned around and said----lady, I think you're in the wrong line. I said thanks and I think I crawled away. I was just so embarrassed!!

Speaking of restrooms, when I was about ten years old my mother and I were at a park. I dashed in to use a restroom and when I came out my mother informed me I had just used the mens! Thank goodness no one was in there!

Re: Most Embarrassing Moments!!

In grade ten we had to get booster shots at school. I don't like needles very much, but I was being tough that day. So I got the needle and it was no problem, I felt fine. I went back to history class, sat down, and started taking notes. a few minutes later I found myself on the floor. I had passed out, fell out of the chair, hit my head and somehow ripped my favorite pair of jeans.
But the story gets better.
Somehow I felt I had to get out of the classroom so I got up and walked to the door where I fainted again. By this time a nurse had been summoned somehow she got me to the library where they were giving out the shots and I fainted again!!!!
So for the next 2 years of high school, I was known as the girl who feel asleep in history class (it was a really boring class)

Re: most embarrassing moments

Well, my whole life is pretty much one long, continuous embarrassing moment, so it's hard to find just one that tops them all. Here's one that comes to mind - it's kinda gross, but everyone seems ok with the bathroom stories...

A few years a go, I had borrowed a leotard from another dancer for a costume in a show we were doing. On the last night of the 1st weekend, she had requested the leotard back at the end of the show. I asked if I could possibly wash it first, as I didn't really want to hand her a sweaty leotard, but she said she was going out of town early the next day, and really wanted to take that leotard with her (whatever!). I tossed her the leotard as soon as the piece was over - I was in several other pieces that night, and this was in the middle of a 7-person quick costume change in a 4' x 8' dressing room. The rest of the evening this dancer seemed to be acting pretty aloof toward me. I thought, ok, maybe the leotard doesn't smell too fresh, but she's the one who insisted I give it to her! After the show, the first opportunity I had to go to the restroom, I realized in absolute horror that I had gotten my period while I was performing!!!

<strong>I. Just. Wanted. To. Die.</strong>

But wait, it gets better!

The other dancer had already left, and I spent all week wondering how I was going to face her at the next performance. I mean, how could I just not say anything? Especially since she had to give me the leotard back? So, as she hands it over on the following Friday, I stammer out to her that I think I know why she wasn't too thrilled about getting her leotard, and that I realized after the fact what had happened, and that I was soooo sorry. She looks at me very strangely and says that there was nothing wrong with the leotard when she got it (other than having been performed in). <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=""> I pretty much could not look her in the eye for the rest of the run.
