What's your most embarassing moment?
There was a random poll on another board, and one of the questions was for your most embarrassing moment... And a few of the answers were really funny.
So... What's your most embarrassing moment?
Re: What's your most embarassing moment?
I can't narrow it down... I have hundreds.
One that tops the list is when I was working with a trainer (a very cute trainer) at the gym... I was doing a plank or something and... farted... it was horrific. It wasn't something I could pretend someone else did or ignore.
Here's mine (sorry it's long):
I went to a concert with DH 6 years ago, and it was The Ben Taylor Band at the Paradise. There is a little restaurant type area at the Paradise, up a flight of stairs, where you can look over the balcony at the stage. So DH and I went up there to sit at the end because I wore heels and my feet were killing me, but my sister and SIL wanted to watch the rest of the show.
There were only 3 other people up there, and one of them was an older woman who was wearing this ridiculously ugly skirt. It was full length, patchwork awfulness. So I turn to DH and yell (because it's a concert) "Oh my god, look at what she's wearing. It is soooooo ugly" right as the song was ending, and she had gotten up to walk past us. She definitely heard me, and I was horrified, but glad she had left.
The band left the stage and a couple of minutes later, the crowd started FREAKING out. And we see the lady with the ugly skirt is on stage! Turns out it was Carly Simon. And I made fun of her. To her face. Woops!
This made me LOL
Oh gosh I have had a few when I was super drunk that I would love to forget.
My SIL is constantly buying me ridiculous gifts. When DH and I were recently married she got me "liquid virgin" for my birthday which I opened in front of his parents. It was pretty awful. Now I don't care because I am much more comfortable with his family, but then I was horrified.
Only a hand full of people know this but here we go...
Back in high school a few close friends and myself went sledding. We were having a blast, when I decided it would be a great idea to put some more candle wax on the bottom of my sled. Well, I went down the hill SO fast that I ended up flying over a huge mound of snow and flipping over and face planted in the snow. While this was happening, I was so scared (you have to understand I was going so incredibly fast that I couldn't stop myself from flying down the hill...) that I pee'd my pants. Yes, I was 15 and I pee'd myself. My friends came running (more like rolling) down the hill to make sure I was okay, at this time I was cracking up and was SO mortified that I didn't know what to do. One of my friends screamed, "Oh my god, Jill you landed in dog pee!" I played it off and said, "Oh gross!" jumped up and went on my way. To this day, they still think I landed in dog pee.
and that is my most embarassing moment...ever.
pp: all great stories!
I'm a huge klutz, there's an embarrassing story of the week! it usually involves my head smacking against something@ work, and naturally there's a dozen witnesses!
I was in college and a group of my friends and I were going out to the club for my birthday. We were all dancing and having a great time when all of a sudden, my friend and I do this 'booty to the ground' move and riiiiiiip! My pants split - not just a tiny rip, but literally from the top of my butt all the way down. So here I am, in the middle of the club and can feel the breeze on my rear. I sprint to the bathroom to game plan. Luckily, one of our guy friends was with us so I grabbed his button down shirt, tied it around my waist, ran back to my dorm to change and came back to get my dance on.
The next day one of my friends held up my pants and I could see his entire head through the hole.
Mine also involves a club, my friends pushing too many birthday drinks on me too fast, not making it to bathroom in time, and then BF/now DH quickly hobbling me out of the club before I got kicked out. Klassy.
The next day I heard all about what a great party it was and how all my friends had fun, got phone numbers, etc. I was in bed by midnight. I'm still bitter about it!
oh god.. there are so many. i'm pretty much a walking joke... but i think there are two that are pretty tied.
back in high school (way back in the day!) i was obsessed with getting into college, so I joined pretty much every club and team I could. Well, I'm not terribly gifted athletically, but I joined the javelin team on our track team... and believe me, I wasn't very good. One day, I got up in front of everyone at the meet to throw my jav, and i don't know what happened, but I must of twisted my wrist weird as I was throwing and managed to smack myself in the back of the head with the end of the jav. If that wasn't bad enough, it made this wicked loud clattering, rattling noise and literally everyone looked. i wanted to die.
the second one is just stupid. my senior year of college, i was walking out of the science building (which was under construction) and i slid on some gravel. all of my things went flying and i completely cut up my knee and hand. after a second, i got up, tried walking to the campus center to clean up and get a band aid, but semi-fainted and had to lay down on the grass right outside, all the while bleeding everywhere. i got the weirdest looks, haha.

Wow, like others so many to chose from.
My #1....a friend and I worked out at the work gym...and I realized I forgot to pack heels for my work outfit. No way could I wear work out shoes with these dressy capri pants so we swaped pants( she had jeans). Well....these jeans weren't like normal jeans...they were like freakin zip around jeans!!! She forgot to mention there was this little hook at the top to keep the zipper up.
So here I am....walking up the stairs from the lobby of this huge 6000+employee company..with customers in the lobby...when I start to feel "air". Each step I took...another little inch of the zipper of this damn pair of jeans went down. After about 10 steps.....I realized my ENTIRE backend was exposed...wearing a thong...and men behind me. I stopped...pressed myself against the wall for them to pass.....and saw the customers down below in the lobby laughing. MORTIFIED.
I forever am feeling my ass now.....to make sure my pants are up as I am forever scarred.
