I think that's hilarious!
I have a dream book here somewhere.
i should look it up about what dreaming about puppies means!

Oh, I have a similar one! I was working at a resort and was in charge of the snack bar. I had been cleaning it up, getting ready for opening day and was using a lot of bleach, leaning in and scrubbing coolers, that sort of thing, and was wearing a black tank top. I thought people were looking at me funny, but didn't realize why until I got home. Yep, two big, round, white circles on the front of the tank top!!

ummm i`m trying to think i`m only 12 soo i don`t have a lot.....ok i have one this just happen 3 days ago at my school BBQ. OK at the BBQ they ran out of water and i really needed some and my friends house was right beside the school so a couple of my friends,her and I went over and we could n`t open the door (the key was brand new)and there were 3 HOT guys next door looking at us (more like checking us out)so we were trying to open it like for 10 minutes and finally we got it open and my friend flung open the door and i fell face first in the house and the boys could n`t stop laughing ...so not cool

Apparently I get embarrassed quite easily because none of my stories are nearly as horrifying as some of the ones that have been listed here. Thankfully, both my stories contain neither clothing-related malfunctions or heels...

First one: This happened about three weeks ago. I was supposed to meet one of my friends at The Melting Pot for her birthday. She was running a little behind {And lives on the other side of town}, so she gave me a call saying that she would be there soon and that she was picking someone else up on the way. I go in and give her name, assuming the reservation would be for her. I had to call her back, she hadn't made one, apparently, so I was able to get us a table. They offered for me to sit at the bar while I waited {not quite 21 yet, so that was the only plus, I looked older than I actually am, instead of looking like I'm still a fourteen year old -.-;}, and I declined. After drinking two glasses of water over half an hour, I decided to give her a call and check in. She gave me cross streets to where she was {which was still half an hour away}. Another twenty minutes pass and I call to make sure she didn't miss the turn. Somehow she ended up extremely far south {and I still can't figure out how she got to those streets without making an absurd amount of turns 56th doesn't even go that far south from Bell...}. I had to get directions from the server, and she was again about thirty minutes away. So, a ridiculously long story in a Readers Digest version: I was sitting in an extremely expensive restaurant for over an hour and a half, right next to the kitchen, so all seven of the servers were asking me if I need anything to drink and if I was OK. Completely humiliating and all I could say was that they had gotten lost, and the servers were probably thinking I had a serious case of denial...

Second: This happened when I was still in high school. I made the mistake of trying to Rollerblade after my spinal infection {which in itself is a long story, basically I had temporary paralysis in my left leg as well as extreme weakness through the rest of my body, had to re-learn how to walk, and still can't run and have a slight problem with coordination and a drop ankle, making tripping now oh-so very easy...} with my friend. We were going down to the Circle K by her house and she's an interesting character. She found a hurt pigeon and decided that she wanted to take it to the animal hospital that was right next to where we were going, and there was an inch difference in the curb from the street. Well I made my right leg over it, which I was thrilled about, and called out to her, but completely forgot that I had to pick up my left leg as well. The front wheel caught, and with the level of momentum I had I flew over the sidewalk and slid across the parking lot, and getting road rash all down the outside of my right leg--hip to the top of where the blades met my skin--and the inside of my left calf. It was so humiliating that I was laughing too hard to cry {Though, her literally smacking into the glass window of the Circle K made me feel slightly better}.

Yeah, that's about the most entertaining of my stories. Although falling for my the senior prank {which I knew what it was because of my class} made me feel rather stupid. Invisible ink is one of the banes of my existence. Completely destroyed my favorite jeans...

I think I have tons of these but atm these are the only ones that I can think of:

1.) This is not only me being embarrassed, but I think I made someone else pretty embarrassed too So, I was on a plane going to Vienna, Austria. At one point during the flight, I needed to go to the bathroom and bravely walked the aisle and grabbed the door handle trying to open the door. I pushed the door, pulled it, first gently and after a few tries not so gently - it and pretty much tried everything to open it. I even tried some storage locker handles next to the bathroom door which I thought might do the trick and miraculously open the door, didn't work, duh. After a good few minutes of trying a lady sitting nearby said to me "It's occupied". The second she said that and I stopped yanking the door handle, a very embarrassed and red-as-a-beetroot flight attendant dude stumbled out the door and I just stared at him for a second and didn't even realize I should move out of the way and apologize I wasn't even particularly embarrassed at this point but then I started to think what it must have looked like: that flight attendant goes to the bathroom (I had missed that, obviously, as I missed the "occupied" sign too..) and a moment later I follow, trying desperately to get into the same toilet :'D When I returned to my seat my mom who sat next to me had a horrified expression on her face and she asked me "How dare you to even try something like that?" I didn't understand what exactly was she referring to at first, but then I remembered I had mentioned earlier that I thought the flight attendant was kinda cute - and my mom was just as quick to jump into conclusions about my "intentions" to get inside the toilet with him as the rest of the passengers witnessing the whole scenario and giving me strange looks because of it Oops.

2.) I work in a small office once a week where I use someone else's desk since I don't have my own. That "someone else" is actually the sales manager of the place, and being the busy man he is, I decided to help him out a little one day and clean the desk for him. There's always been a coffee mug on the table that he keeps his pens in, now there were two so after I had gathered all the pens, markers etc lying on the desk and I put them in the empty mug since the other was almost full. I heard a splash and realized that mug wasn't for keeping pens - it was in fact a coffee mug with some coffee still in it! Panicking cos I had soaked everything in coffee I pushed the mug to the farthest corner of the desk hoping he wouldn't use those until they had dried out and I'd be off the hook. I quickly moved to another room behind a glass wall to take some photocopies when this sales manager walked to his desk with some important-looking people about to sign a contract. At this point I was just waiting for the disaster to happen - he sat down, turned to say something to the men in suits and reached for the WRONG mug, took a pen before I managed to yell "NO!" He looked at me like I'd gone crazy and asked if I had something against him signing it - I managed to say "no, but-" when he saw the pen dripping coffee all over the whatever document it was in front of him. My face went through every shade of red when everyone's eyes were glued on me like I had been caught red-handed doing something very, very wrong. The sales manager gave me a rather murderous look and muttered something about being glad that he had a copy of the document... Oops, again

OMG - 48 years of living = plenty of embarrassing moments! More than I can (or care to) remember! But here's some:

1. Spewing orange soda through my nose when somebody said something funny.

2. Stepping off the curb, falling, and spraining my ankle (alcohol involved). This put me on crutches one week before I graduated from college.

3. Being asked on the spot to stand up and say a few words at a banquet, and babbling on like an idiot because I had no idea what to say.

4. Not getting to the ladies room in time - full bladder as well as during that time of the month.

5. Breaking wind at inopportune times - the worst was just after having sex with my then best friend. We decided to remain best friends and not be boyfriend/girlfriend.

6. Pulling into the parking lot on my motorcycle, catching both legs of my jeans on the foot pegs, and then falling over (bike and all) to one side - just like the guy on the trike on Laugh In (now I'm really dating myself!).

7. Falling off a horse because the girth came loose and the saddle rotated 180 degrees.

8. Not being able to zip my ski pants in the ladies room after I broke my hand on the slopes. I had to call a friend into my stall to help me.

9. Walking into the wrong restroom by mistake (scared the guy at the urinal).

10. Acting like a fangirl, crushing all over David Cook when I'm old enough to be his mother.

I have a few embarassing moments.

1. I accidentally opened the stall in the lavatory with someone in it. It's actually not my fault since the girl using it didn't lock the door.

2. I accidentally slipped of the stairs in the mall thankfully I'm holding on to the railings. The salesmen/women saw my slip....

3. I used to bump into mirrors a lot when I was younger

There's more let me think of it

Ok... so here it goes....

My sister bought tickets to see Creed sometime back (2002), Prior to the show we stopped and had maybe one to many Magaritas at the very close by Casa's. Anywooooo.... We had floor seats and @ the ScottTrade Center (then it was called the Savvis Center) to get to the floor there's about a million steps.... I was walking just fine, however not realizing there was landing coming up, I tripped and rolled across the landing down 5 stairs and landed spreadeagle admiring the very far away ceiling, mind you the stands where full. And all my sister could do was laugh... (if it would have been her I would have too)

With this being said I have floor tickets at the very same venue for AI.... I don't think I will be stopping for Margaritas before that show...

First I have this little story: When my son was about 3, I worked nights and I would occasionally bring him home some Tootsie Rolls from a vending machine. Now the way these Tootsie Rolls were wrapped inside the package, they were about 6 inches long, 1/2 inch in diameter and wrapped in a plain white wrapper. Well one day I went into my bathroom and found my son there on the floor with a box of tampons strewn all about. He looked up at me and beamed, "Look, mommy! Tootsie Rolls!" Guess he thought he had hit the jackpot! (BTW, my son is now 18 and I think he would be mortified at that story!)

Okay, that was just a cute story, here's my embarrassing story which happened in front of several thousand people:

It was a bit over 20 years ago and I had only been working professionally as a radio news reporter for a few months. I was at an event (some famous athletes and coaches were holding a cancer awareness and fundraising rally) at a football stadium which was just starting to fill up for the event. I was out on the field on the 50-yard line up on a stage putting my microphone up on the podium and taping it down. I was talking to a friend of mine who was a newspaper reporter who was standing on the ground (this friend is now a writer for Billboard magazine), so I had to talk a bit loud so he could hear me from where he was standing several feet away. What I didn't realize was that the other microphone already on the podium which was for the stadium's Public Address System was ON and everyone in the stadium could hear me talking. Which is embarrassing enough, but I was talking about one of our city's most prominent citizens (and later a nationally known figure) and he was in attendance! In fact, just as I realized that what I was saying about him was now echoing throughout the stadium, I looked up and there was the man in question standing there in the front row of the stands looking at me! As were the other two or three thousand people in attendance.

But now, to this day, I make sure that I never talk when I'm up on a podium setting up my microphone.

Oh and one time on the radio during a live newscast instead of "nuclear power plants" I said "nuclear power pants."

David, I think it is a brilliant question to ask us, to surreptitiously remind us what it's like being put out in the spotlight for all to see. A gentle reminder, and as it has turned out, a really funny one as well, since some of these moments are stitch-inducing entries. So without further ado, here's mine:

I was 13 and was getting ready for my Tae Kwan Do assessment. (It's where you move up belts) Anyway, my uniform was worn out; as I used it often and it got washed without starch far too many times than healthy. (The uniforms must be washed with starch so they don't become soft). Anyhow, I was warming up, and as I did my split, it wasn't just my legs. My pants split. In a knee-crotch-knee split. In an utterly humiliating split. Needless to say, I did not take the assessment that day and high-tailed out of the place as fast as possible when ones legs is glued together in an effort to not have the pants flap about when I walked. Yeah, it was a loooong, slow walk.


WORD NERD 2008

I had to laugh when I heard DC talk about doing a heel spin and biting it...soooo been there. My 21st birthday...went to the local country bar (where I was already a regular) and the bartenders decided to get me beyond FUBAR'd...try line dancing to TROUBLE by Travis Tritt in leather-soled cowboy boots on a hardwood floor when you've had one too many tequila shots. I busted my ass in the middle of the floor...everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, stopped and stared...why? Because the DJ decided to point out my graceful fall to the ENTIRE CLUB. Frakkin' brilliant! But oh...not done yet...later that very same evening, I managed to trip UP the stairs leading to the pool tables. I had bruises on my shins for 2 weeks and tore out the knee in one leg of my brand new jeans.

I just remembered another quite embarrassing moment...once again being drunk (wow...that's when all of mine happen...I think I need to stop drinking!)

I was in Atlantic City for a show...and I went on the escalator (the down one), with my at the time friend, and she decided to stop at the top cause someone called her. I was already on the escalator at that point and realized she wasn't near me, so I turned around and went running up the down escalator. I ended up tripping over the step and falling...up a down escalator. That's not the worst part. Once I got to the bottom, I get off and go to a wall and slide down, laughing my ass off. When I laugh, I cry...a lot. It's really bad...I get that from my mom. So I'm sitting against a wall laughing my ass off, tears falling down, face beet red, and the drummer of the band I was seeing runs up to me going "OH MY GOD ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" and I'm like "Yep! Good!" and he goes "ARE YOU CRYING DID YOU GET SERIOUSLY HURT??" and I was like "No, I'm laughing!" and he goes "Oh, okay, good! Cause I was at the bar and all I saw was red and black go flying!" (My hair was black on top and fuschia at the bottom at that time). Yea...that was pretty embarassing...

mine was like, when i was a sophomore, i was walking along the corridor of our high school and i had in my pocket a spare sanitary napkin. the napkin was supposed to be used by me cause i was heading to the girls bathroom and then VOILA!! it fell from my pocket and worse! there are senior guys along the corridor... Duh!!! Yikes!!! Embarrassing!!!

Mines really bad lol

I was at my karate camp which happens twice a year. I was really tired and It was about 1am in the morning. I was walking back to my cabin which had CLEAR sliding glass doors, I was so tired I smacked straight into them. That not being bad enough half the dojo was inside watching OMG. Most of them actually fell over laughing literally. I wanted to sink into the floor.

A few years ago I was getting ready to leave the house. Our glass door was locked, which is rare, so I went to open it like any other day. When I tried to open it I realized it was locked but for some reason I just kept on walking. So yeah, I pretty much bashed my whole body into the door. My mom saw the whole thing, and I didn't think she would ever quit laughing at me. I honestly couldn't quit laughinh at myself. It's just the whole fact that I knew it was locked, but I never stopped walking.

Around January my sister and her kids were staying the weekend. I was trying to get my niece asleep, so we were in the bed in my room. The phone started ringing in the living room so I went to get it. As soon as I stepped onto the floor in the living room I started sliding. I have no idea how or why because the floor wasn't wet and I didn't have socks on. There was a cooler sitting in the floor, a wooden chair, and a bar stool near the hallway I was sliding through. I went down, hit got my arm hung in the bar stool, my head bounced off the cooler onto the chair, and my leg bent behind me. No one even seemed to notice except for my oldest nephew, and he just looked down at me and went "well" and turned back to the tv. I was finally able to get up what seemed liked minutes later, and I just walked back to my room. When the kids finally fell asleep I went back out into the living room. I wasn't going to say anything, but my mom came out of her room, and asked my sister and I what that loud noise was earlier. My sister had no idea, she was sitting on the couch during the whole incident! I told them, and my sister was like "oh I wondered what you were doing on the floor." I had to reenact it for them, but with less pain. I don't guess it was really embarrassing, but we sure did get a huge laugh fest out of it. And to top it all off I lost a two pieces of candy that I don't get to have much because it is expensive! haha My mom and my sister still bring it up every now and then, and there we go into hysterics again.

Ok, I'm not exactly known for being graceful in general, so I've probably embarrassed myself plenty of times by tripping, slipping, etc. in front of people, but here's one that really stands out in my mind. I was in high school, but I wasn't driving age yet, so I'll guess and say 14? I don't really remember that detail. Anyway, at the house I grew up in, our front yard didn't have a lot of grass - it was mostly sand/dirt. So when it rained, our yard got very muddy. Well, one morning it was raining and my brother and I were rushing to catch the bus, and we were going around the very edge of the yard where there *was* some grass (avoiding the mud). Except...I guess I was in too big of a hurry, because I slipped on the wet grass and fell in the mud in front of everybody on the bus! I was so embarrassed, plus I was covered in mud. I don't remember if my brother went ahead and got on the bus (probably so) but I turned right around and went back in the house! (I was gonna have to change anyway, and I'm sure my face was red. I was 14, and a lot of my classmates saw it happen.)

Oh, and about falling up stairs? Yeah, I've done that too. I did it to our front steps when I lived at home. And they're cement. Three big cement steps, and I didn't pick my feet up high enough. I ended up with some lovely scrapes from my knees down and on my hands from when I went to catch myself.

I have embarrassing moments all the time, I'm awful.

My most recent one...and I think my most embarrassing to date is when I was talking about something I was passionate about in church, and I let the word 'hell' slip. My friends all gave me crap for it afterwards, but I was so mortified

My 21st birthday, my cousin and her friends took me out and I got hammered. We went to all of these different bars and drank all different kinds of stuff. Well, at the last bar, I did a shot and as soon as I did it, the shot and everything else in my stomach came up, right there at the bar. Luckily for me it was dark but found out later that they do a live web cam!! Never had the nerve to find out if it made it on.

Awwww man that must have been horrible!!!
I wouldn't have had the nerve to see if i made the webcam either. that would have been weird.


In canada, well ontario the legal age is 19... when i turned 19 my entire family (needless to say im part italian so my family is huge!) all bought me drinks, well one drink per family i guess i should say. which im 5'3 and i weigh about 115 and i had nothing to eat that day and they brought the drinks out before dinner. After a few drinks my mom brought out the "party hats" which i hate but she was trying to embarass me... but i ended up embarassing myself. Someone told me to be madonna so i put the hats over my boobs and thats when everyone in the restaurant (the waiters) came out to sing happy birthday and well, the whole restaurant was staring at me not knowing i was impersonating Madonna

When i was 13 years old , i lived in Singapore for 3 years.

In school: Every friday, the entire school would gather for an assembly to the main gym. Every friday, a class puts on a performance for the entire school to show them what they have learned in class.

Well, one fine friday after the show, the vice principle was giving out awards to some of the few students.

The chairs in the main gym was given only to the principle, vice principle, teachers and parents. The students on the other hand, sat on the hard wood floor.

Long story short, my name was called out for an award and i had a bad case of pines and needles. I was walking so awkwardly that i wanted the ground to swallow me whole. To top that off, the school that i went to, has a special ed class. I respect these kids so for me to have had the bad case of pines and needles was very very very humiliating and mortifying!!!!

On the upside, nobody said anything in class and my pines and needles stopped.





I feel like this is a good group counseling moment.

And with age, comes the grace to hold your head high and speak fondly of these memories! LMAO You Go Girl!





LMAO that's a good one!




Sometimes "the girls" just get us in all sorts of trouble don't they?

That is a rough one. I bet that was a tough one to live down.


oh, walking into glass doors, vomitting at the bar.... you guys are great for sharing. LOL thanks.

ahhh its too embarasing!!! *ooh the shame**

well 2 years ago, im was on my summer holiday in Cyprus. I went to a waterpark and my mates dared me to go on the tallest water ride, which was a straight drop down...
I was nervous but i thought it would be okay... anyway i climbed all the way to the top and it was my turn to go down the slide... i was too scared and in the end my mate pushed me down. It was horrible! my stomach was doing flips and i felt rlly light headed.. althought it was over pretty quick.. when i stood up there was a bunch of lads near me and they all started laughing their heads off! i look down and.. Yep.. You guessed it! My bikini top had fallen off and was hanging around my waist... ahh the shame...

my mates wont let me live it down....

How funny! That reminded me of something I'd totally forgotten about. I was a newlywed and we were at my inlaws. You know how you try to make a good impression on the good ol' inlaws! Well, my husband grabbed me when no one was around and got a little frisky with me. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that he'd been helping his father work on something greasy - his hands were greasy - and now the front of my white top had two greasy handprints where I really didn't want my inlaws to see handprints!! I was walking around in front of them for a little while before my husband pulled me aside to inform me that I'd better go try and get the grease off! I could have killed him!

On a different note, we were at a bank in London that had a revolving door - a SMALL revolving door. As we were leaving, I wasn't paying attention and managed to get into the same little section of the door that my husband was in - a little section that was only meant for one person. Add to that the big bag full of camera equipment he had with him and the bottom line is that we were totally stuck. I kept pushing him and telling him to move but the more I pushed, the more stuck we became. I was so embarrassed. I knew the bank employees were probably thinking - "Look at those stupid Americans!" Somehow we finally got out and we hurried away without turning around! We didn't want to know how many had witnessed the whole fiasco and who were probably laughing hysterically at us.

So, this is sorta gross, but to this day it is my most embarassing moment...

Last year I went to the beach with a good friend of mine. For lunch we ate at a fast food restaurant and then went back to lay out some more. Well, later both of our stomachs fel rotten so we decided to call it a day and drive back to town. Which is about a 45 minute drive. Well down the road I pulled over and had to throw up. She did too. Well we felt better and decided to get back to driving. About 10 minutes later I had to pull over again, and then I threw up and this time I couldn't stop. My friend call my house and told my mom we needed someone to pick us up. She was throwing up too, but not quite as uncontrollably. A few minutes later a cop pulls up behind us with his lights on....my friend immediately jumos out of the car and screams, "WE AREN'T DRUNK!"

She tells him our story and calls an ambulance. He asks me out of the car and I couldn't move. He continues to ask me questions as I am throwing up at his feet. FINALLY they get me on a stretcher and on some oxygen b/c I wasn't breathing. Anyway, longer story short, when we reached the hospital, I had begun to have diarrhea, uncontrollably and I was so dehydrated they had about 15 different nurses come in to try and give me and IV. So they all so my nasty self, which I am sure they are used to, but hey, I'm 25, I'm still a little vain! It was so sad, b/c half of the male nurses were my age or younger....I was soooo glad when I left about 10 hours later!

Wow, I hope you were okay after.
was it food poisioning?!!!

LOL - both good ones. Reminds me of how embarrassed I was when I thought the kids were asleep and my husband and I were being quiet, but my 12 year old daughter comes to our locked door and tells her father and I through it that we are gross and how she is not sharing her room if we have another kid! (Needless to say I had to re-explain some of the facts of life points after that...)

Yeah, no kid wants to think of (let alone hear them!) her parents doing THAT!

Lmao oh I've done that a few times!
I was in a club with my friends and it has sorta glass panels and lights and fountains and the like around, it's supposed to look like a winterwonderland. So I'm dancing and decide I want to sit down for a while. I turn around and walked smack into this clear glass panel, thinking no one had really took much notice I turn to walk away and walk smack into another one. Oh I wanted the ground to swallow me up! And the worst thing was I can't blame it on alchohol because I wasn't even drunk!

I don't get embarrassed very easily. I'm a huge goofball and total clutz, but there is one moment that's sure to never be forgotten. I was at the Indianapolis Children's Museum with my 2 boys (my 16 month old daughter was with my mom and dad) and my husband. They have this slide that goes from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. Of course the boys both wanted to go down, but were to short to go by themselves. My husband took Hans (4 yrs old) and I took Aidan (2.5 yrs). I sat him down on my lap. I noticed that the slide was a little narrow, but didn't think anything of it. I am not morbidly obese, but my tush is nice and full. Let's just say that I didn't glide down. I literally had to pull me and Aidan down the slide by my heels. Of course, I blamed it on the fact that Aidan wouldn't pick up his feet, and that's what caused us to go so slow. I am so horrible! I have never felt more fat in my entire life, but it is a funny story. So, there, that's my most embarrassing moment.

I was walking out of piano lessons to my mom's car, and turns out, somebody else had the same car. I opened the door and sat down, and when I looked over, it wasn't my mom! I apologized and got out

this one isn't really embarrassing, it just sucks!

My 21st bithday my friends and I went to a bar where a friend of mines band was playing. I got carded and checked going in, no big deal. Well many drinks and hours of hoopla later, we get up from our booth and put on our jackets to leave and one of the bouncers comes over to me and asks, if he could see my ID. I'm like are you f*cking kidding me! I've been there drinking and partying for HOURS and now that I'm drunk and about to leave you ask for my ID?? He wouldn't let me leave without seeing it!! That my friends is the horror of being in your 20's and looking like your 16, which is why I've never shown anyone my pic on this site

LOL
That's a new one we haven't seen yet. I love it. Too funny, still LOL...



Thanks for sharing, especially to make this one topic one of your first two posts, that's brave.... David would be proud !!!

haha, mines kind of the same.
i was in lifegaurding class, and we were practicing rescues.
I jumped in, i came up,
and there's my boobies o_0

Most of my "most embarrassing moments" have been caused by my kids, but this one was all me.

A couple weeks ago my daughter, Heidi (19) and her boyfriend, Travis, left on their 4-wheelers to ride on the logging trails behind our house. They weren't gone 2 minutes when I got a phone call. I thought it was my daughter's boyfriend calling from his cell phone. I was immediately alarmed, thinking there had been an accident.

Him: Is Dave there? (My husband is Dave and my son is David)
Me: (in a demanding voice) What happened.
Him: Nothing. I just wondered if I could talk to Dave.
Me: He's not here. He just walked up to Grampa's. What happened!
Him: Really, nothing happened. I just saw Dave in town the other day and he asked me to give him a call.
Me: Oh! This is Chris! I'm sorry! I thought you were Travis....

I can't believe he didn't say to me, "Are you nuts?"

Sadly, less than a week later Chris severed his spinal cord in a diving accident, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Accidents happen so fast! See, mothers aren't crazy!


You know, this was bad, but it could have been worse. At least you didn't defecate!

seriously... don't even feel bad about that. you had just turned 21!

i've been carded at movie theaters at 26 and earlier this year i was given a hard time about my id at a bar because it was from out of state they made me give them a second form of ID. i'm 28 years old.

here's a good story from when i was younger and a little less patient:

it was spring break and i went down to orlando with a friend of mine for a few days. we went to disney and universal studios... etc. well one night we went to Downtown Disney. There is a part where you need to be 21 to get over this bridge into Paradise Island where all the nightclubs are. Well I was almost 22 at the time and when I handed the guy my ID he told me that it was fake. I was like EXUUUUUUUUSE me? This was before NJ had caught up with the rest of the world and they still had these old style laminated driver's licenses and mine was kinda falling apart a little.

My friend who was about 2 and half years older then me had no problems with his ID and it was made the same exact way. I about flipped out. I was like, "you are telling me that my nj state issued ID that I use to drive my car every day is FAKE?" keep in mind this guy looked like he was about 16. I'm like, "how is mine any different than his," referring to my friend. So i make a HUGE scene and i'm sure I embarrass the crap out of my friend. I refuse to leave until they let me in and they ask me something like, "if they call the sheriff and he runs my id if it would come up real." And i was like, "Yes, please call him now and get him over here, this is ridiculous!"

So eventually they let us through and give us our wristbands. At some point a little later we end up outside of that area and we needed to walk back through the checkpoint. As we walk through, I hold up my wristband or something and they are like. "We know, we know... you're from Jersey."

I'm pretty much doing stupid things all the time, but one for starters.

I was 15, and it was my second musical performance at my school. I had this MAJOR crush on this singer called Steve so asked if I could do a song with his band. I was really good friends with the guitarist so they said yes and we agreed we'd sing 'beetlebum' by Blur.
Anyways the day of the gig I decide I'm gonna have to really go for it and rock out, because I had heard Steve say he loved rock chicks..
So I do my hair all emo and all over my face etc, and we get up to sing...I can't see a thing because of the hair but figure just rock it out...
During the guitar solo I am properly hair banging, and jumping around...and I fell off the stage! It was a five foot stage...and I went striaght off the edge, landed in a heap on the floor AND flashed my underwear to the ENTIRE school...

That'd be the most memorable one..Needless to say Steve and I never went out!

LOL! I know exactly how you feel. I still have a hard time getting into places because I still look so young. I'm 25 now and still look like I'm 18. Some say that its a good thing, that we're lucky, well its hard to get dates with guys your age when you still look like your a teenager

I have a new embarrassing moment! Though it's not as bad as the one I previously shared, it's still pretty bad. I was walking to work today and a beetle flew right at me. At first I thought it was a bee, so I kind of freak out when it went down my shirt. I literally had to stop the pick the bug out of my bra. This is at lunch time by the government centers, so I seemed to have a small audience. I didn't care at the moment because I was not leaving a beetle in my bra. Now, though, I knew I must've looked like a complete idiot.

There's way too many! But this one was pretty funny!
Well my mother is a hairdresser for these people and they have a really hot son, but he's like 27 and i'm only 16, so it'd be illegal, but still he's hot. Anyway, so he was walking down the steps and my mom goes "Hey Michael, how are you?" and i respond with a hey.
Then, a few minutes later, my mom is cutting the dad's hair and she says to me.
"There, you got a good look at him, are you happy?"
I was so embarassed. My face turned many shades of red. Then the dad says,
"He's taking a shower downstairs right now, you could run in and take a peek if you wanted."
That was even more embarassing!

Well, it was mortifying that time when some random guards find me hiding inside a closet with my ex, in a not very innocent situation.

Dreadful

Ok. Let's see. I have had so many embarrassing moments, that I am not sure where to start.

The first one that sticks out in my head was back when I was a senior in high school. I always hated getting up for school in the morning, so one of my parents would always wind up dragging me out of bed. Either way, I must have had a really bad nightmare and in my sleep I took everything off my bed and it was on the other side of the room. My dad came to wake me up and I was naked and had nothing to grab!!! We could barely look at one another for the next few days.

The other one that comes to mind was when I also when I was a teenager. It was spring break and I was learning how to boogie board. Did I mention that I was terrible at it?...LOL. Either way, I got caught up in this crazy wave and i washed up hard on the beach. I stood up and my top had broken and I didn't realize it until I stood up and realized that everyone was staring at me. It was pretty bad.

So there are the two at the top of my list. I hope you enjoyed.

LOL Those darn bees - and other misc. flying creatures! This reminded me of the time I went to a lake near my sister's house. We didn't realize it at the time, but they were having a terrible bee problem there. As I was leaning down to arrange my towel, etc., a bee stings me on the bit o'buns that was not covered up by my swimsuit. As soon as I felt the pain, I grabbed my rear and start to jump up and down screeching! Then I came to my senses and realized the show I just put on for everyone else on the beach. Needless to say, we didn't stay there for long because those bees had it in for us. This is forever known as the Trible B incident - Bee Bite on Buns!

So did you???? Peek, I mean,,,, Huh... inquiring minds want to know.....

My most embarrassing moment is when my boyfriend (now my hubby) and I got caught getting hot and heavy in the bathroom of a movie theater! We were both in the Navy at the time so we didn't have a private place to go home to.
He's a pretty shy guy and I was really surprised (and happy!) when he grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom after making out for a while in the movie theater. I wasn't as quiet as I should have been and we got caught by a worker (we think that a customer alerted him). When he banged on he door of the stall, I stopped breathing and I felt all the blood drain from my face! We were SO busted! I laugh when I think about it now. I never told this story before and it is so much fun to be able to tell you guys anything!

OK, who's next? Time to spill your guts!

Nah! haha! It would have been WAY too weird. I mean we dont even know each other that well. It'd be awkward.

I am POSITIVE I've got quite a few moments from my college years at UMass Amherst, but my brain just doesn't want to cooperate with me, for some reason! The only substantial event I can think of that was QUITE unfortunate was when I was in kindergarten. I was so painfully shy that I would never ask the teacher if I could go to the bathroom (let alone where it was!!) Thus, I would always end up peeing in my pants. One day, some other kids came over to me and said, "Hey, what's that puddle under your chair?!" I replied, "Oh, it was there when I sat down!" lol Hard to mask wet pants, though!! My face was on fire!! The only recompense I got for that was that in 1st grade, I was one-upped when, while taking an "exam" (what kind of exams do you have when you're in 1st grade?!), a classmate named Janet "X" peed her pants and made a GIANT puddle that took up two aisles!! (If you're on this forum, Janet, fess up to that as your most embarrassing!!) Other students had to hop the puddle to bring their papers up to the teachers!! lol I still wonder to this day, though, whether those other kindergarteners in my class would remember such a thing; my son just graduated from kindergarten, and I'm SO glad that never happened to him!!!!

OMG!! This story just reminded me of another M.E. moment!! One day, my older sister and I biked to the beach (we did a lot in the days BHAK--"Before Husbands and Kids"). We were laying out on our beach towels and decided to have our lunch. Suddenly, the seagulls began to swarm around us, so we figured we'd just take a walk to be rid of them. Well, when we finally got back to our beach towels, there was TONS of seagull cr*p all over our towels, completely covering them!!! My sister proceeds to pick up her towel and starts shaking it frantically, yelling, "SEAGULL SH*T!! SEAGULL SH*T!!" at the top of her lungs!! This was a very crowded beach on Cape Cod with a waiting line to get in, mind you, and all eyes were on us--I was SO humiliated!!! Needless to say, we packed up and biked on home after that!!!

Just wanted to add a link to the same topic on the AI board.

I'm not a big fan of bikini's, so I haven't lost my top at all recently. However, I've got so many embarassing stories, I could write a book on them, honestly. I'm outgoing, obnoxious and slightly clumpsy, so as you can imagine - the mixture is hilarious. A video camera should follow me around CONSTANTLY.

1) I've tripped in the movie theatre and got ridiculously bad rug burn on my chin, arms and knees.
2) Before my local mall did renovations all their walls were mirrors, and at one point, the two mirror walls came together in a corner and it looks like a door, so I walked full on into the corner and stumbled backwards, fell to the ground and uhm, spilled my soda all over myself?
3) I was rocking backless heels at a club and the place as packed and there was this tiny one person staircase that about thirty people were cramed in, I started pushing my way through the people and was very verbal about the lack of flow in the stairwell, somehow I was going to fast up the steps and I lost one of my heels, it flew off down the stairwell and hit some girl in the back of the head.

I'll add more as I think of them! I'm telling you, I'm a pro at this.

I really don't get embarrased easily, I mean my family and I have had, what I like to call "white tras\" moments, screaming at each other while the neighbors are listening, in parking lots with people staring, and I've always been like "who cares!" And for the most part I think I'm just able to laugh at myself, I think when enough embarrasing things happen to you, you can almost just go: "what else is new", but I can think of a couple that stick out in my mind. Last November I sat front row at a concert for the first time, I was seeing Clay Aiken's Christmas concert in Waukegan IL, and I've always been jealous of the great pictures other people can get from concerts, and even though I just had a cheep disposable camera, I thought now's my chance, I'm front row, I have to get at least one decent picture. I managed to snap a few, when security came over to me, I quickly tryed to slip my camera into my purse, hoping they wouldn't know who had done it, but they stopped right in front of me, and demanded my camera! I could feel the eyes of the women on either side of me, looking at me. It was pretty embarrasing, but a couple people I knew came over at intermission, and were shocked that had happened and agreed the "camera police" were being extra unreasonable that night. Then security must've took pity on how cheep my camera was, because they gave it back during intermission before the concert was even over! So I snapped away as the concert was ending...and not one single picture turned out!

The other one I can think of was when I was in first grade, I was called up to the backboard, and as I was walking, this boy stuck out his leg and tripped me. I was more angry and less embarrased about that one.

Edited to add: Just thought of another concert one. I went to see Bon Jovi in Chicago this February, and you know those impossibly small turn style things you have to go through to get into an arena? I got stuck in one. Yes, there I was, stuck in a turn style, one bar in front of me, another behind me, and one jammed into my leg, causeing the line behind me to come to a stand still. I began to panic, thinking the jaws of life were going to be needed, and my mom was disappering into the crowd, so I began to rock back and forth trying to free myself, and after hearing the bolts holding it to the floor groaning, seeing security with their mouths open, and almost wrenching it free from the floor, I was free.

Oh, and also, I have a terrible fear of heights, and escalators, and the last time I was at the mall, I stood at the top of one, which can be very high, started to get dizzy like I was going to fall, and was shaking and clinging to the rail, while moaning to my mom that I couldn't "do this" and was going to fall, and found out at the bottom, that a guy had been right behind me, the whole time, giving me filthly looks.
How's that for embarrasing moments?
