Have you made a fool of yourself in public? I do frequently.

Most recently I was unfortunate enough to be forced to rely upon the public amenities. As I approached my stall I noticed someone entering behind me. Once I had entered the unpleasant cubicle and seated myself upon a questionable throne I was suddenly stunned by a booming voice from the next stall; "Hello?" I was silent and hoped I had imagined the unwelcome greeting.
"Hello? Can you hear me?" Well, I couldn't pretend it didn't happen now, and I felt I should answer because the poor guy might just be after a bit of toilet paper. "Umm, hi." I quietly answered.
"Yeah mate, how are ya?"
"Umm, I'm fine, thankyou."
"So what are you up to?"
"Err, a quick poo. What about you?" I asked, fearful and concerned about where this conversation was headed.
"Oh, ya know. Same old shit, ya know. Anyway mate, I gotta go. Some fuckwit in the next stall is answering all my questions. I'll phone you back when I get home."

So, when have you made a fool of yourself?

Serves him right for talking on the phone while on the crapper :D

Still as funny as it was all those months ago when I heard it from a guy on the Aces High forums :D.

Wow, that sucks!

I'm not sure if I'm pleased or not to know that I am the only one who has encountered this incident...

lol (new to me at least)

I've heard stories like this before. It is fairly common.

While that's never happened to me, I embarass myself in public all the time. Once I purposefully fell in a parking lot to see if I could people to react. Someone called an ambulance and that embarassed more than my own antics.

LOL :D

Who phones someone while taking a shit, anyway?

Mmmkay, story of mine...

A couple of months ago, I got out of work late (because I finished on peak hour, it was too busy to leave on time), and I had to quickly make my way to the bus. I got held up at a pedestrian crossing for about 5 minutes (peak hour traffic, you see), and saw my bus come. After waiting another 30 seconds, and thinking the bus was ready to leave, I quickly decided to run across the road, as there was a gap in the traffic and the crossing light was still adamantly refusing to change...stupid thing to do as it was raining quite heavily.

Just as I got to the bus, I slipped, skidded, rolled, and landed on my arse in front of the bus door. The bus driver looked at me, then pulled out and drove off, leaving me to wait for an hour in the rain, bruised and bleeding in some spots...not to mention with a hurt ego. To add insult to injury, some kids took the opportunity to laugh at me.

drunk people?

Can't say I ever have.

Same thing happened to me over the weekend. My friend Willie has a bluetooth headset for his phone, so he can talk without holding the phone up to his ear. I heard him talking and assumed he was talking to me, so I responded to him. Went on for nearly a minute unill I realized he was on a phone call.

Would you injure me if I decided to laugh?

:p

I've told you that before anyway.

When was this!?

When was this!?

It was about 2 months ago. I was quite pissed off when it happened, the end of a bad day.

...Oh yeah. I wonder how I forgot about that...

I was almost as embarassed as the 'Vascia incident.'


I picked up one night, some years ago. So we get a taxi to his granny flat that is attached to his parent's house. @@Random Name@@ has a cat named Vascia (emphasis on the 'S' not the 'C') who is huge and insane. I go off to the bathroom and I'm standing there urinating when suddenly I hear the door slide open, it's Vascia. Damn cat has managed to slide open the door with her mammoth paws. It seems Vascia has not seem many men urinate in the standing position, for she jumped onto the rim of the bowl and stared at the stream into the bowl. I knew this was not good, especially when Vascia started to swipe at the urine stream, but I wasn't sure what to do. Vascia then decided to walk in front of the urine stream which hit her square in the head. This seemed to piss her off "Pun intended" so she jumped for my mid-region, something I am very protective about. Instinctivly I shove the cat back from me and I manage to urinate on the wall...

It went downhill from there...

It seems when shoving the cat back I had pushed it into the airspace above the toilet bowl. Due to the fundamental laws of physics and cats Vascia fell into the toilet bowl. Staggering forward I grabbed onto the water tank for support, accidentually pressing the flush button with Vascia the cat still remaining inside the toilet bowl. Vascia tore up my sleeve ruining a new black shirt and landed on the floor behind me with an undignified SPLAT. This left me with a huge mess, a torn clothing, a urine smell, a large pissed off cat in a confined area with me and a drunkRussian who was starting to loose a not so solid grasp on the English language.

Yes, it gets worse!

Woken by the noise, Daddy dearest, a large, large, angry Russian man (who I think is named Mitya) came to see what the noise was. Mitya has even less english, he burst in to find his first born passed out, a urine soaked cat tearing along the carpet between his legs and I in the bathroom in it's present state. Mitya looked at me, I looked at Mitya. Then I used the only Russian word I know; "vodka." Mitya seemed to accept this as a reasonable response and left. While complaining loudly in Russian about what I can only assume was the noise and the mess. It's as Mitya leaves that wakes up my companion and I get to explain what happened. "I pissed on your pussy."

I have never made a fool of myself in public.

*to Kanabia and Jordaxia* Stop laughing!
