Thanks for posting. I am enjoying reading these. Someone suggested I print them and mail them to DC. I may just do that, these are great. Maybe he'll make that same face he did when he mentioned the female fan who mentioned in a letter what his music does to her when she listens to it alone...

I'm really shy infront of people, and well, I have stage fright or many people looking at me anywhere fright, and I was in music class, it was in 6th grade, and we had this wierd teacher, Mr. Z, and he made us do wierd things, he got fired, anyway, and this girl Dierdre is a singer (she is okay, she wants to be on broadway, but she's not that good. Doesn't have the voice) anyway, she goes up and sings, and then he decided to pick another person, and since I was hiding behind my folder, he picked me. I cried, and everyone in my class stared at me. No noise, just stared. Then when we got back to the classroom everyone was like "Why the heck were you crying?" and to make things worse, when I got home, the teacher calls my house and tells my parents. Grr!


By chance, anyone here trip UP the stairs? I do all the time.

I can't write my most embarrassing moment. I would turn 7 shades of crimson red if David read it besides everyone else reading it.

oh my gosh! okay, i was in a school play, and i was backstage waiting. the director was backstage, too, along with everyone else. i remembered suddenly that i had a church thing going on in like ten minutes, so i asked mr. wartsbaugh (that was his (the directors) name) if i could go. he said sure. so i run onstage and jump off. i don't know how i managed to do this, but i tripped in midair and did a bellyflop onto the floor. unfortunatly, my best friend saw this and has never let me forget it to this day. i am sad now. 8 (

i do it all the time. it is very sad. this is why my friends always walk behind me in school, waiting for me to trip. i am used to it by now. i should be in the guiness book of world records!

Well, as young as I am (I'm eleven!), I had an embarrising moment too. I was in a play and this one kid forgot his like three words,(which is so dumb), and we looked at each other for like 2 minutes then the kid remembered his three words! I was in my mind like,''You moron! I can remember my words and you can't remember three lines.'' Ugh!


Also, in class, I had pictures of Dc and I kissed one pic! Well some kid saw me and gave me a look like,''What are you doing creep!'' Some people just don't know how much I love you dc! Teehee!!

XOXOXO!!(to davie)

YAY I'M NOT ALONE! My brother makes fun of me for falling. It's not my fault I trip easily and the stairs had it coming! D:




YAY SOMEONE YOUNG...

okay maybe im like 3 years older than you, but who cares? I don't bring pics of dc into school, people would steal them or go "Archie is sooo much betterrrr"

I have a few embarrassing moments but I'll share this one...

When I was in my freshman year in college, I went into my math class feeling queasy and nauseous. Being the good little girl that I am, I went to class anyway feeling miserable. I managed to make it through about 10 minutes of class. Then, I raised my hand and asked the professor if I could use the restroom. Being a freshman, I didn't know that you didn't need to ask if you need to leave the room. She looked at me very bothered and said "Don't ever interrupt my class again to ask me that!"

As if that wasn't bad enough (think Snickers commercial... "wanna get away?") I left the class because I was about to get sick and I barely made it into the bathroom. I didn't make it to the stall, so I ended up getting sick in the sink as soon as you walk in... amidst the looks of disgust and surprise of a few students. Yeah, it was a lovely day!

I'm embarrassed very easily. Being the only person in a fastfood restaurant embarrasses me. It's a little pathetic.

I have been fortunate enough to avoid the majority of embarrassments talked about on this thread though.

One of my worst moments was when my family went to Six Flags amusement park in Georgia on our way back from visiting family in Florida. This was probably 2 or 3 years ago. While we are eating lunch my parents suprise me saying that there is going to be a concert with Aaron Carter and Christy Carlson Romano. I'll admit I was an Aaron Carter fan... approximately 4 to 5 years before this event. I hadn't even thought about the guy in forever. I never really approved of Christy Carlson Romano switching from tv to music. Not that she couldn't sing, I just preferred her on the tv. So I was less than overjoyed at my parents pronouncement. I wasn't going to say anything cause I hate hurting their feelings. So we go, and let me make it clear that other than parents, I was the only person above 10 years old. At one point, Aaron says he wants a volunteer girl to come up and let him sing to her. Well, my dad gets all excited and starts pointing at me. I looked disapprovingly at him and told him to cool it. He then says "Ok, if you don't want to...", and begins to bouncing up and down in his seat waving his arms to get Aaron's attention. All the people around us certainly noticed. And to top it off there were cameras filming the whole thing. It was horrible.

New to this site. Love DC. Laughed my butt off reading a lot of these tonight. Senior year in high school (1983) taking final exams in current events class. Room nice and quiet and all of a sudden you hear "tweet". I tooted and didn't even feel it coming. The worse part of the whole thing was that I was sitting in the front of the class.

Okay. Embarrassing moments! Since it is on the request of David, I will be utterly honest. Uh oh.


Well, I used to go to Catholic school until about sixth grade. It's the setting of most of my discomfiture as a kid.

First real embarrassment was in second grade holy communion. We had to walk up first in front of the whole church. I was trying to get into the right frame of mine to receive the host and the sip of wine. I did okay with the host; but then with the wine I started coughing so hard that it looked like I was having a fit for about two minutes. Finally, the priest clapped me on the back and everything proceeded as normal.

Second one, my class was weeding on the grounds of a hill at school. Being my usual clumsy self, I grabbed onto a large weed that refused to come out, tugged at it and somehow fell and sent the trowel flying at the principal.
Since then, she would glower menacingly at me in the halls.

---
Nowadays, I still embarrass myself. Tripping in heels, dancing in restaurants with no music, running ninja style on the streets... the usual.
But I have a longstanding habit of walking too fast. This is bad because when I follow a waiter or waitress to a table and they stop abruptly, I end up treading on the back of their shoes. This happens with friends and family, too.

I sing at a cathedral choir now, so it's only logical that I have another embarrassing moment.
We sing in parts, I am a soprano, love the high parts, and tend to close my eyes [like archie] on notes I like. So, when I first started, in one of the songs- Hallelujah from the mount of olives I hit a high note and held it a bit too long, and my choir director was waving his hands madly to get me to stop (I am really, loud.). Oops!

And that's just the stuff I remember!

Question: Ouch, poor Madeen. This happened with my dad too at a gig with a local band. He also tries to set me up with every guy under 30 I meet. I think he scares them.

Man, some of these are hilarious... for me to read, that is, but most likely totally mortifying for everyone who's experienced.

Me? I say the wrong things, talk too loudly, fall/trip over things all the freaking time in public places, drop things, knock stuff off of shelves, etc, quite frequently.Walking into walls(I'm not talking glass doors, people, I'm talking the solid, opaque walls NEXT to the clear glass doors).

But here, I remember a BUNCH. Probably too many.

One time, I think it was in fourth or fifth grade we were having an 'international week' at my school. It was a really tiny private school, and one of the teachers was from Panama. So all of us girls were supposed to get those big huge skirts that swish out for Panama day, because she was teaching us a dance. Well, the day arrived and I had my skirt but apparently it wasn't flowy enough, because in this one part of the dance where you had to lift opposite ends of the skirt up, either I didn't lift it right or there wasn't enough fabric because I essentially just lifted my skirt so everyone could see my underwear. So, that was pretty embarassing...

Then there was another time, again with a skirt. I was going to a private school where we had to wear uniforms (seems like a lot of people went to private schools) and I was wearing the required plaid skirt. Well, it's either plaid, black, navy or khaki, but that's totally irrelevant. So I was wearing the skirt and it was a longer one, and I had just found out that when I twirled in a circle it spun out in a cool way. And we were outside at recess and it was windy and I twirled and there were guys standing around, and later my best friend tells me, 'Umm, you kinda... flashed them. The wind blew your skirt up."

So. I don't wear skirts like that anymore.

And then my freshman year of high school, I was on my schools' girls' basketball team. (We had like, five girls the ENTIRE SEASON.) And I fell. All. The. Time. I would trip over girls, laces come untied, besides the fact that the bball shoes I was wearing were super old and super crappy so I slipped all the time. So yeah, I was kissing the court a LOT. The team started calling me 'The Mop' and it was really embarassing...

And then this time I was on vacation, and my friend was with me, and we were walking around this shopping center and the sun was SOOOOOOO freaking bright and was reflecting off of all the windows and cars and the cement and everything, and of course I had forgotten my sunglasses, so I closed my eyes and latched on to her arm and was just like 'Lead me around, I cannot keep my eyes open' and then we went over this crosswalk and apparently she had told me to watch the step down onto the crosswalk but I didn't hear her and all of a sudden I'm on the ground.

Walking into the men's bathroom because I was distracted, talking to my sister, and then standing there in shock for a full 8 seconds because there was a guy at the urinal, before cracking up and running full speed out of there, leaving my sister to trail behind a couple seconds later. She still hates me for that one (she's three years older)

Then at my high school's old building, the main stairway was really small. And in between classes it's PACKED, right? So, naturally, I trip UP the stairs and stop traffic for like 30 seconds, and then I'm laughing so hard I have to go slowly up the rest of the stairs, and people were looking at me weird.

One time when I was probably eight or nine my family and I went out to eat, and I had just gotten my drink (some soda, probably Coke or something, of course it couldn't have been Sprite or water) and somehow dumped the entire thing in my lap, and I was wearing white and khaki. And we had just gotten there and hadn't eaten so I had to stay in the restaurant, soaking wet with Coke. Fun times.

When I turned 10 we were flying to New Mexico to visit some family, and my mom made me wear this 'Happy Birthday' pin even though I told her over and over and over I didn't want to. So of course I got beeped at security and then had to stand off to the side and the place was so crowded so of course I felt like every single person was watching me.

When I was five or six we were at Worlds of Fun for my sister's birthday, and we went to one of their shows, and I think it was like a 60s show or something like that. And then there were looking for an audience member because this guy was singing this song, and he comes all the way back to where me and my family are sitting (we were probably about halfway back) and takes me up on stage, and sings to me, and I'm totally beet red and stiff, just sitting there staring at my shoes. And then finally the song was over and he gave me this little Worlds of Fun pin that I probably still have somewhere. But man, I was really embarassed. When I was a kid, I hated audience participation, because I was always afraid it was gonna be me

The one time I had a skirt problem. I was standing in the hall just waiting,(I was in 3rd grade). Then I felt something on my foot. I looked down and there was my skirt on the floor! I was like,''OMG! I hope no-one saw that! I still don't know. (It's almost 3 years later)!

Oh! I was in the GIRLS locker room,(which women gymteachers watch us), and I saw the BOYS gymteacher! I said to the girls,''Hey, what's (I can't remember his name), doing here!'' And we're all like,''What a perv! Omg!'' So that means that he saw us in our braseir and underwear! (Which some girls don't wear brasiers!)

Oh! The one time this catchy song came on in my house and the next door neibhor drove by and I was doing this redicoulous dance! Ugh that's so embarrissing!

Then the one time I was destracted and allmost walked in the boys bathroom. I was allmost in and was like,''Omg!" Then I ran out laughing.

The one time I was like 7 I was talking to this stupid kid into those microphones at the playground and I raised my head too fast and too hard and I hit the mic lining! Then I covered my nose with my hand. And then took my hand away. I looked at my hand and it was covered in red! Which means blood! I started crieng and the stupid teacher was like,''What's wrong!'' Well lady Mcdewfus look at my bleeding nose! Then she took me to the nerse.

Well, the one time, they had this stupid rewards 'ceremoney' in the auditorium. (I had my Dc shirt on of course!) And I thought I was getting a lot of money and I got up and was really happy. Then I opened the darn thing and it was like 15$. I am still mad!
That's all the ones I could think of!Bye!

XOXOXO!!(to davie)

I am 63 crazy for David. Well about four years ago I rode my bike (men's) to the beach about two miles away. When I was ready to come home, I went to throw my leg over the bar to get on the bike and lost my balance and fell backwards and knocked myself out! Was OK, felt like a jerk. Rode home, have not been on a bike since!

I got one that happened to me yesterday at the idol concert.

I went to the concert in St. Louis yesterday and my seats turned out to be two rows back from the stage so I was super excited at how close I was. It was before the show started so I decided I wanted a picture of my friend and myself next to the stage. So in my delirious excitement I tried to hop the row of chairs in front of me. The seat ended up folding up when I put my foot on it and trapped my leg. I flew over the chair - one leg going one direction and the other going the other direction... which wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't in a SKIRT. I ended up being stuck in that position for several seconds until my friend could stop laughing and help me up. Needless to say it was a packed house so the thousands of people that sat in the rows behind me saw my underwear.

To make things worse I did the same thing a few minutes later when I tried to sit down. XD
