I walked around all day yesterday with my fly down, got called on it at church. Eek.

Also, tuesday, I woke up late and ran to class, but I walked into the wrong class, and I was like, "uh, what class is this" and someone said math, and I said "Oh...wrong class", turned bright red and walked out of there. As i proceeded to the right classroom(which was a floor above) I tripped up the stairs.


What embarrassing things have happened to you lately?

Have you ever walked out your house with no pants in front of your neighbors because you are to hungover to notice. This has to be the most embarasing thing ever to happen to me.

No, but the other day i ran into a locked door at full speed. I left a smudge mark on it even, from my face. :p

I don't usually get embarassed...I'll think it over.

Today, while waiting for my dinner at a restaurant and chatting with a friend on the phone, I ignored the guy who was aksing me if my order was the lasagne, cos it was ready. He asked me 3 times, and I wasn't aware. When I finally realized he was addressing me, there were two other people staring at me. I turned bright red and hanged on my friend.

A few days ago I was wearing some new boots that were just a little bit too big. As I was walking slightly uphill, my foot slipped a tiny bit to the back. I tried to move my foot back to the front, but because of my awful coordination it went a bit to the side, I trod on the side of my boot, lost my balance and fell over into some grass.

I uhmm... well I... you know I can't really remember? At least not something appropriate for NS General.

I've been pretty good lately - the most embaressing thing was asking someone for their money instead of giving them change at work... :eek:

I tried to dance sober

I presume these feet are new or something :p

I was listening to a Robin Williams CD and laughing out loud. when it was over, I looked around and everyone at the bus stop had shuffled away from me and were giving me strange looks.

I had to show the CD case and the hidden earphones and cd player to prove that they didn't need to call for the police.

which is why i never go to church...wont let you have your fly down, wtf??!!

Walked in to my door cause it was dark out. (15th time this month)

I managed to ride my bike into my grandparents' pond. (One of them, anyway.) :)
But I managed to save the bike! :D

I remembered one. I was at a party over the summer, walking out, making fun of a friend...turned around, and walked face first into a stop sign. Only one person saw me.

I know! The last time I was publicly embarrassed I was em-bare-assed when my pants fell down at the grocery store while shopping... I had groceries under both arms....

Got home from a festival on a Sunday afternoon, exhausted.
Went to sleep.
Woke up, still pretty tired, looked at the clock, thought 'Oh hell, it's 8 o'clock - got to go to work.'
Went to work, with the vague feeling that something wasn't quite right. Even the daylight seemed to be a bit odd.
Unlocked the building (I'm often the first one in on a Monday morning), switched off the intruder alarm, turned all the lights on, sat down at my desk, switched the computer on, and got working.
Ten minutes later, started to wonder why everyone else was late.
Realised that it was Sunday evening.
Switched everything off and left.

Yeah, so nobody witnessed it, but I was pretty damn embarrassed anyway.

I've done similar things! Especially this time of the year when 6am and 6pm are just as dark and such. Ill take a nap and see barely any light out and see that it is about 6:30 and I get up and start getting ready for school. :-p

I presume these feet are new or something :p

Yes. Yes they are. Lets just say P.E. at school was fun with my amazing coordination. I think in the ten or so hours we were forced to do tennis I hit myself in the face with the racquet more times than I hit the ball:p Actually, thats not a joke.

I was giving a friend a hi-five (I give very intense hi fives), and the momentum of my fiving slapped his hand aside and I punched his girlfriend in the eye.

Walked into a pole in NYC while looking at the Empire State Building. (Doesn't show I'm a tourist at all, does it?)

Made a jew joke in front of my friend's girlfriend... She's Jewish, obviously.

Made an abortion joke in front of a pregnant woman... that wasn't embarrassing so much as priceless, but I felt a little twinge at the time, right next to my spleen.

My question to people is... how do you know when you're embarrassed? I feel it in my gut, right by my spleen.

My brain shuts down and I go into panic mode... then I giggle uncontrolably. Yes, I GIGGLE. A 6'4" 245 lbs man giggling...

Does that generally help or hinder the embarrassing situation?

Exactly my problem too.

Walking into the pole was pretty bad for me...it wasn't so much embarassing as just stupid, and I immediatly laughed about it.

I can't honestly say I was "embarassed", but it qualifies as a "did you ride the short bus" moment, which I figure is close enough for the purposes of this thread.

It's a rare day that I don't do something embarrassing--usually walking into a stationary object or tripping. It happens so much that I'm not really embarrassed anymore, though, so maybe that doesn't count.

The other day I wore strappy cork wedges to school and fell down in front of my kids. They were entertained.

That was the Gods of Fashion punishing you. Strappy cork wedges? What were you thinking?

I got hit in the face by a fish.

do elaborate.

I was talking to some friends and mentioned a mutual acquaintance who annoys all of us. I was highlighting one of her current stupidities, with appropriate commentary, and when I turned around, she was standing behind me.

Posted in general at school, and got a detention for it. :cool:

Hinders... definatly hinders.

What embarrassing things have happened to you lately?I tend to repress those kinds of things immediately, or i would be simpering puddle in the corner of my condo if i really had any recall.

I probably felt similarly at the last Mud Bowl CHampionships when I broke my wrist in the first five minutes of the first game(the cast just came off).

Damn. That sucks. Alot.

I've yet to make it up for mud bowl, but I can imagine such and injury so early on is not a good time.

Fell up the stairs. Which is pretty retarded.

Falling down the stairs is easy, but falling up them? That's a feat worthy of praise.

I do that all the time.

I was late for work on thursday, so I was running down the road...got halfway up the steps to my building (still running), my shoe fell off, my foot didn't know what to do so decided to give up and make me fall over...my bag etc went flying everywhere, and the security guys watched it all on the cctv and found it hilarious :(

Did that thing, descending a staircase, where you think there's a step remaining when there isn't one. You know the thing - dunno if anyone saw, but it's silly either way. :)

Your school sucks. :D

Your school sucks. :DNO, really?
I just, sort of, kinda, you know, happen to go to it. :D

Hot off the press!

Today on my way (back) into work I realized that I will have three days worth of dishes to do at home because Its been my turn for three days and nobody saw fit to do them in my absence even though I work a combined total of 36 hours in this time frame. Out of frustration I punched the passenger side of the dashboard... and set off the damn airbag! :mad::$


:D Its really funny 2 hours afterward...

I'm sort of glad nobody has read this.
