Embarrassing Moments

[Joker85]

Come on, we are all friends here right. What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I'll post mine after I decide which of the many I am going to post:D

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

Too many to list...I usually get embarrased AFTER the situation; as most were spur-o' the moment type stuff I look back and regret later...but here's one when I was humiliated immediantly...

I was messing around with some friends in a school lunch one day, we were flicking a little marble around one buddy had brought for fun. But when I flicked it, my elbow bumped my soda can and it spilled all throughout the table....and as my lunch class holds ALL the high school, it was embarrasing for everyone to see this...

....another food incident in school was when I had a mustard packet and when trying to get the condiment outta its pocket, some squirted onto my uniform. But no one saw it at the moment, an thank goodness my tie could cover up the mustard splotch on my shirt!:D

I got lots more, naturally....my username has a ring of truth to it...:p

Why would I want to dredge up and relive painfully embarrassing moments? Especially since I've had an extra 10 to 15 years more than most of you to accumulate them? :p

I have a few.....I'll start with this one:

One time when I was around 12, I was over at a friend's house playing basketball in his backyard on the court. Somehow the ball bounced over the fence behind the basket, so I decided to go over the fence to get to it. We were playing without our shirts on, and I jumped over the top of the fence, got the ball, threw it over, then headed back over.

Well as I got to the top of the fence, I tried to jump down, but I was stuck. This fence is right by a pretty busy street, so I wanted to get down before anyone saw me and started laughing. Well, I couldn't get down... My friend started laughing at me, a lot, and he eventually went in to get his mom. She tried to unhook my shorts from the fence, but no dice, they were stuck. So she went back in, and came out holding a towel. By this time a lot of cars had come through and they were all pointing and laughing :/ She said to me, "Take off your shorts, and I'll cover you with the towel." I thought, "Yeah...how about we don't do that?" So, I soon realized I was out of options, so I relented and took off my shorts while she covered me with the towel, naked as the day I was born, with a row of cars to have a chuckle at me. So I jumped down, and wrapped the towel tight around me, running into the house as fast as Hell.

Well, that's my story. Maybe I'll post some more later if you guys wanna hear them :|

I've never been so publicly humiliated. Don't think so anyway. But i do have this story:

One time, my brother and i were in the middle seats (this was a van) while my parents were driving us somewhere on a multi-lane, highway type road. So, bored as we were, we started making faces at the cars. It wasn't quite the traffic we were making faces at, but just seeing who could come up w/ the weirdest. The other cars couldn't really see us anyway. But then i reached under my seat and pulled out a drumstick (my dad's a drummer and always has a few hiding around somewhere). I then stuck it up my nose and made a really strange face out the window. It cracked my brother up, and that was all i was going for. But then a van came by on my side and started to pass us. No big deal though, they never saw us before. Except there was a woman in this van who had such a disgusted look on her face. And she was looking right at me the whole time like she was expecting it or something. What was i to do but hold my face and wait till they passed? So that's what i did.

So there's my sheltered life's embarrassing story.

Ohhh, I will have to come back to this thread when I have more time! This could be great fun! The first thing that pops into my head was in high school, I was already late for class, and I walked into the wrong class room. I swear, each floor looks exactly the same. I had the right area, just the wrong floor. That was rather embarassing, but when I start to think of it, I am sure I can come up with more!

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

Well, here's another:

I was at an awards ceremony, and please note that this was somewhat serious. When I learned I got an award, I actually did a little cheer that was plainly seen....while most people thought it was cute and I didn't mind this then; only later after this ceremony ended did I feel humiliated when I though over it...

....I walk into the wrong rooms all the time....it's embarrasing, all right...

[sun]

In 1984 I was teaching a course in Early World History, and had been transferred to a new school. I had a recommendation from a friend to teach this novel, "The Once and Future King, to my honors student. I had not read it.....I was way ahaed of the class, a good 100 pages, when, I asked this gal(someone I had dated for over a year) , to merry me. She turned me down, and I got stuck in my reading. So one day, one of the brightest, and most motivated students, (Her name was Lana Samolovitch (are you out there?yes that is correct) asked a question on what was the meaning of a section I had not read. OK, what do you do?........Well, I told them the truth, I hadn't read it yet....I turned every color you could think of.,and begged the class for understanding. ..The next day, I had the answer, older, but wiser in the ways of teaching highschool. It did not happen again, and don't really know why I am telling you this now.....Best of luck to all, we are all human.

[Nightflower]

This happened just recently....

*turns red*

I was with my boyfriend when his roommate's dad walked in...and I wasn't wearing a shirt. (Still got my bra on)

Worse thing was, it wasn't even because we were doing.... you know. The room was incredibly hot, and I didn't see any shame of stripping in front of my boyfriend. Ugh.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

I barfed on a security guard once. The End.

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

Jojo's gets my vote for most embarrasing! ;) Were any other people there...?
Still, most of these I guiltily admit gave me a chuckle....sorry....

Actually, I would not think ill of a teacher if he/she did not read the whole thing yet if it helps, oldtoonguy....my teachers are like that, actually! Read the book along with the students! :eek:

[Calhoun07]

One time, in college, I had some of that "magic" powder that turns liquids into a solid (well, ok, it jells it) and I had put some in the bottom of a styrofoam cup and filled it with water and then I asked a teacher if he wanted a drink of water. I "tripped" so the glass tipped forward, only the water wasn't completely jelled yet, and just this glob of a mess that went everywhere. The only real problem? He was working hard on a nice display for a convention that was going to promote the school. I have to say he took it all in very good stride!

[Jowy Blight]

Nothing bad ever happens to me.........no really...........ok, I lied. I guess I'll tell my story......

A few days after I had pulled that prank on my brother with his girlfriend, he decided to get me back. So when I went to school, I opened my backpack in my class and this HUGE spider popped out of my backpack and I screamed like a little girl as I threw it to the floor, but it turned out it was fake. The class laughed loudly for a while, then we moved on. The bell rang for lunch, and I went to my locker and opened it, a huge amount of Jello came flying out of the locker and landed on my NEW clothes. I had to change into my gym clothes for the rest of the day, but the worst thing happened at lunch, as I walked out of the lunch line, somebody ran out and pulled my pants and underwear down!

I gotta stop, I really want to block what happened next out of my mind.

[DR. BELCH]

...my most uncomfortable moment involves food. At a friend's barbecue some months past I dished up a plateful of mashed poatoes from a pot on the stove. I found them tasteless and watery but I managed to politely eat most of what I took. I warned my brother when he came into the kitchen not to try the potatoes because they were terrible.
"What potatoes?" he says.
It turns out the hostess wasn't serving any mashed potatoes. What I'd been eating from was a potful of cooking grease.

[Govan]

One time when I was 4, I was on an airplane. When they brought around the food, needless to say all of it looked like crap. So for some reason I ate a whole stick of butter from the tray in one sitting on its own, and threw up on the woman sitting next to me. The End... :|

[Calhoun07]

If it's puke stories you want...

When I was a kid, I used to get these incredibly bad headaches all the time. Almost daily. And they often made me sick. There are a couple stories I have about this. I will tell one that's not an embarassment to me, but I sure hope it is an embarassment to the teacher involved! I went up to my teacher one day asking to go to the nurses office. I had this hell of a head ache and it was making me ill and all I wanted was some asprin and a chance to lay down. She didn't take my request all too seriously and made me sit back down. Well, she certainly acted quick when I got sick all over my desk! But like I said, that wasn't embrassing to me cuz the class knew I was bugging her to get out of there...and for a reason!

So the school nurse got to know my patterns of sickenss, I guess, and would give me these barf bags just in case for the bus ride home, and we lived out in the country so we were usually one of the last ones to be dropped off, so we had quite a journey to endure on that bus! Well, one winter day, we got stuck at somebody's house in their driveway and waiting for a new bus to come out and get us. I was sick as ever, and I had to use my bag. I didn't know what to do with it, so I asked my sister discreetly and she told me just to take it outside, so I did, and left it under this tree. To this day, I wonder what the parents of those kids at that house thought when they went out to do some yard work and found this bag with sick in it under a tree!

I don't think there's much of anyway to save face when you get sick like that on a bus, tho!

[Joker85]

I think that I would have to say that the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was when I was 14, I went over to my friends house to go swimming. She had just built a pool and had invited several people over. As it turns out, the swimsuit was way to big on me. Now you figure out what happened when I dove in. It was SO EMBARRASSING!!!

[Trent Lane]

Not really an embarrassing moment as compared to the rest, but here goes...

A new Taco Bell had opened up down the street so we went to eat. During the meal I had to, how do you say, relieve myself. I went to the restrooms and proceeded in. It didn't hit me till I was "going" that I was in the woman's restroom. I had to wait until the woman in the restroom left, then I sneaked out best I could, and I think I got out with anyone seeing me, but still, I really was embarrassed by the whole thing...

[optimal321]

That reminds me of a not so embarrassing story involving myself in the girls bathroom.

It was the week before school, and the Student Council (which i'm a member of) was passing out schedules. This was a very slow day, so some people when out and brought back Burger King to eat. Then when we were done, no one but me was willing to throw the trash away. And since we were set up right outside the girls' restroom, and since i wouldn't pass up the chance to go in the girl's bathroom, and since no one was in there anyway, i decided to be funny and go in there to throw it away. But then as i was leaving, a teacher was walking by, so one of my fellow Student Councilwomen pushed me back in and hid me in a stall. So there i waited until it was safe to get out. Luckily no one came in.

My stories aren't nearly as embarrassing as some others i've read. I don't know if that's good or bad :p

[sun]

I wonder how may times in a lifetime, a man or woman, as an adult, or near adult, goes into the wrong washroom? I'm 55, and have done it only twice, but I remember them well..Good luck to all to avoid this one...

[Calhoun07]

I can honestly say I've never gone into the wrong rest room, but from time to time, I would personally witness it myself at the grocery store I'd work at. I'd be standing there, doing my thing, the next thing I know, here comes this woman walking out of the stall. Makes me kinda wonder...didn't they see the up right unit in there on the way to that stall and put two and two together? Sometimes, it takes all kinds to make this world go around.

Are you sure that was a woman? :p

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

I accidently, when nausous, went into the girls' bathroom once! But no one saw me, fortunalty....never saw anyone else do it, though.
....Actually, I puked once at a school spaghetti dinner....embarassing...but I NEVER puked on anyone. ALWAYSC managed to avoid it! :D

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

They have these open washrooms in the Paramount Theatre in Toronto--there are no doors. You have to go by signs in the hallway. The hallway ends on a T-junction with signs pointing left or right for whatever sex you are. Well, I once finished doing my thing in the men's washroom and walked TOO FAR OUT. So I ended up in the women's washroom.

You people might laugh, but this happens at my grocery store too. Except I've got the real reason why it happens. See, women don't keep the restrooms clean as the men do, believe it or not. So one woman, so disgusted with the condition of the woman's bathroom decided to go use the men's. Her daughter stood guard as she went in. Whatever. I just laughed about it...

That is true. I had the op to go into the ladies room at the grocery store after one woman came out complaining about it. Honestly, it was pretty nasty. And on the seat too. So that's probably what that one woman was doing in our bathroom that one time. I forgot about that second story until you mentioned it!

[DR. BELCH]

--because one would think the ladies' room would be cleaner than the men's, all things considered. I recall once at the Indian Mall my brother and I discovered that someone had--ahem--embarassed themselves all over one poor stall. Seat, floor, walls, everything. It's as if they decided inches from the finish line to just throw in the towel. :eek:
Speaking of my brother, in the days before he was a happily married man (and I think I've told this before) he and his buddy were about to approach a lovely woman standing with her nice-looking jean-clad bum to them at a Wal-Mart snack bar. The figure then turned--and it was a guy! :o

I'm guessing this rule doesn't apply to high school bathrooms. I go to a school that it a bit overcrowded, and the men's room doesn't have enough urinals (2-3, depending on the bathroom), so people have to go in the stall, or wait. Well, these people don't put the seat up when they go, don't flush the toilet, and sometimes they throw trash in the toilet, like bottles/cans/bloody objects. This really sucks because sometimes I have to go number 2, and well, eeeew...

There is an addition to the school that has a gigantic bathroom, but it is so far out of the way that it really can't be used unless you are on the way to gym class (It's always clean).

I've never walked into the wrong bathroom, but I did once meet a girl (who was in high school, BTW) that didn't know boys could pee standing up without urinals. She thought that guys sat down when urinals weren't arround.

My embarrasing moment involves me helping backstage for a play . I was talking to some people, and the orchestra was still playing the entrance music/overature, so we all had to talk sort of loud to hear eachother. I was talking about another embarrasing moment, and when I said a certain word relating to that, the orchestra sort of stopped. I think the audience heard me say it...

wow. And this is THAT girl's most embarassing moment, right? Again, wow.

As for school bathrooms....geez, I've seen too much gross stuff to mention. Grossest ever...kids who do the #2 in the urinal. I am sure school janitors are underpaid by a long shot.

I've seen that before too, but it isn't as bad as this one scene I saw outside school...


Jack:eek:

[DR. BELCH]

--another area of the dorms the guys would foul up were the elevators. I'd see soda cans, whiskey bottles, paperballs, gumwads, spilled beer and things I don't even want to know about on the floors of the cars. A guy told me he saw a big wad of #2 in an elevator once. That and the pokiness of the bloody things is why I often opted for the back stairs....

Any embarassing stories involving public flatulence? In the campus library is an archives room where I had a research project back in fall 1996. It was just me and a secretary in the room that day. What I thought would be a silent and unremarkable indiscretion sounded like the opening shot of WWIII. The lass at the front desk didn't say anything, but she'd have to have been deaf not to hear it.... :o :(

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

Eew....what's with all the instances of #2 being done OUTSIDE the toilet...? It makes you think humanity is becoming more barbaric...(pukes over railing) At least every elevator I've been on has been clean...

I never did public flatulence, but most guys in my class are not afraid of doing it in public, no matte what the place...it gets to you after a while. It's gotten to the point where calling it "embarassing" is embarrasing!

[Trent Lane]

Yeah, the #2 outside the toliet has happened to me, too. Being a bagger at the time, I had to clean the restrooms, one of the perks of the job I guess. I walk into the back stall, look at the ground, and about puked right there. I live around a bunch of redneck hillbillies, so I guess the concept of a toliet is foreign to them...

As for public flatulence, I can go back to my middle school years and recount a tale. As if middle school isn't humiliating enough, right? Anyway, I'm sitting in Algebra I, doodling in the margins, bored as usual. All the sudden, it slips our and breaks the overall silence in the room. IT was a pretty durn loud one, too. The class erupts with laughter, as I laugh along and do the "Who did that? Not me!" look around the area. My teacher, all four and a half feet, jumps down from here stool and yells "WHO DID THAT?" She forgot she had her pen in her mouth and chomped down on it, coating her mouth with blue ink. She runs out of the room brushing her tongue with her hands, and the laughing grows some more, while the fart goes forgotten... Like I said, middle school years shouldn't be required by kids. Too much trauma...

[Jack]

I was in English class and really reallly really really really really had to pass gas, but I held it in. Then then someone said something funny, and when I laughed, my concentration was broken and I let it out. It was short, but LOUD!

When I was in middle school, this one guy had such a gas problem that teachers gave him permission to leave the class whenever a fart came on, it stank so much.
