Post Embarassing Moments Here
Oh I had an embarassing moment yesterday.
Re: Post Embarassing Moments Here
You want me to share just one?
Ok, best one that comes to mind that is internet appropriate is:
In HS I had a big crush on this guy 2 grades above me. One day I was walking out of the gym and noticed him walking towards me so I did this little hair swish and smiled trying to look all sexy and missed the sidewalk with my next step (about a y inch drop to the grass) and totally had to save myself from falling. When I looked back up he was laughing at me.
Ouch to both of you ladies! That's rough.
I was at Stop&Shop the other day and totally crashed my cart into a cardboard display of craisins. Yup, it fell over.
I was grocery shopping recently. Got my cart, it was pulling funny and I was annoyed bc I always seem to get carts that never go straight.
Well, I'd been shopping for 5 or 10 minutes and I turned a corner, and a cart went flying off the end of my cart! I hadn't realized that I had 2 carts stuck together! The cart that was stuck to mine went flying and hit a shelf and people were totally judging me. I dk how I didn't notice! I just turned and walked away....
i have tears in my eyes from laughing!
haha carly
Poor Thor!
I'll share mine that is similar to Thor's.
I was a freshman in high school and had only recently started my period. I was in french class and I had been slouching in my seat. I got up for something, and when I came back to my seat a girl came up to me and whispered that I had a stain on the back of my jeans. Luckily a friend of mine had a sweatshirt that she let me borrow and I tied that around my waist for the rest of the school day. I definitely started wearing tampons after that.
My Profile
I am a walking ball of embarassment. Probably my latest was the other day at the mall when I was walking and got my purse snagged on a rack. I was literally stuck there b/c of the angle it snagged at and another shopper had to free me.
I am literally cracking up at the rest of you! ha!
this is a period story, not one that happened to me, but it happened to my mom. when she was going through menopause she had horribly heavy periods and basically it would be like a faucet without any warning whatsoever.
so she was at a restaurant sitting outside and they had those white plastic lawn chairs. her period started and it literally left a huge puddle on the chair. she tred to clean it and the waiter came up to help... she was so embarassed.
haha Thor, i didn't even notice or think about it! i was on my period as well. no worries.
mmm let's see. the best i have is in college my friend and i went to a random frat party...we didnt know anyone there i don't think. i had bought these black pants when i was in europe when i was 16 and they still fit but they were kinda tight (i mean that was the point, right?) and they were handmade. i was grinding on the dance floor and they split up the butt (must have been a classy/tricky maneuver). i mean, crotch to back...totally. i also must have thought that i was gonna get some that night bc i wore red lace thong underwear. i didnt know anyone to borrow anything from them, my friend didn't have any extra clothes. it was freezing out and i had to basically walk bare-assssed home.
another one...strangely also involving thong underwear....i was coming home from work the 1st year after college to my apt and i was on my cell with my friend. i stoped to get my mail at the box and when i got out of the car, i had a horrible stinging pain in my knee. i have a bad knee so i thought maybe it was just hurting. get back in my car. pain gets way worse and keeps coming. drive to my apt and realize the pain is a bee that is stuck in my pants and stinging my knee repeatedly. scream "oh my god" and hang up the phone (totally freaking my friend out). run in my apt, strip my pants off and ran outside bc the bee was still in them. i look up and my neighbor was walking his dog and totally laughing at me bc, again, i had thong underpants on that day.
and these are the 2 reason that i NEVER wear thongs anymore.
OMG!! These are great! I'm like Karebear in that I have so many embarrassing moments its hard to pick just one.
Most recently the worse is my shameful drunken behavior at that wedding this fall. Seriously I've yet to go to a family function where they aren't talking about it.
One time coming home from a bull roast with my parents I was really drunk. It was a long ride home and I had to pee so bad. I was practically crying I had to go so bad. So my step mom hands me an empty chick fila cup and told me to pee in it. Well as I am drunkenly trying to crouch in the back of a jeep cherokee and pee in this cup, the Styrofoam starts breaking a part. I'm getting pee every where and still filling the cup. So as we go into the harbor tunnel I decided to dump the contents of the cup out the window. I didnt know that the car behind us was my step mothers younger brother and his friend who I had a huge crush on. They were driving in a jeep wrangler with the top down!!! There were many golden shower jokes going around for a long time.
OMG this is too funny b/c something similar happened to me, kinda. The week before our wedding, we took our OOT friends to OC. My grandparents, dad, little brother and sister were in the car in front of us and me and my friends were behind them, then more friends behind us. All I remember was that my dad dumped what we thought was water out of a styrofoam cup and it came back onto our windshield and we had to use our wipers to get rid of it. We were like "That's weird and kinda rude, but whatever." Turns out he swore my siblings to secrecy but he had to pee super bad and his dad was driving like 2mph already and didn't want to stop again, he peed in the cup and dumped it out the window! Like two years later my brother finally spilled the beans to me. OMG, gross!!! But funny.
I have so many embarrassing moments. The two that come to mind are at my high school graduation party, everyone I knew was there, including DH's mom (then BF) who I was meeting for the first time. My little sister (18 months old at the time) was standing on the edge of some swamp at the end of my friend's backyard, where the party was. It would have been dangerous for her to go in, so I literally ran full speed after her to grab her, but fell flat on my face after running into something. I ran into the "invisible" string holding the badminton net up and took the whole net down with me, stopping the game and the entire party. My sister didn't keep going though, she came back to see what was up.
The summer after I graduated from high school, I did a lot of traveling with some friends. My parents were living in MD at the time, and one of my friend's had some good guy friends in WV. We took the train to and from to visit them, an on the way back I got my period. Before I went on the pill, I guess b/c of my PCOS, my periods were horribly heavy. I was wearing a bathing suit bottom as underwear b/c we'd been traveling so much I didn't have underwear and I don't know if I was using a tampon or a pad, but whatever it was, it leaked, and bathing suit material does not absorb or whatever they heck it is. I felt like there was blood everywhere, and it went through the back of my pants. We were getting to the end of the trip and I didn't have my bag with me to change in the train's bathroom. I walked w/ my bag covering my butt the whole way off the train and into the station's bathroom until I could change, trying to keep it from my friend and worrying about whether or not it was on the train seat too. It was horrible!
