Gee, I don't know if I have one to compete with that!

Okay, there was this guy I'd known forever and absolutely adored, but I was much too shy to tell him. We were going on a business trip, the two of us and a few other people, and during the course of the trip he bought me a beer and I got a hug. We got back and I emailed one of my friends to tell her about it.

Some two weeks later we're chatting and she says, "how come you never wrote and told me what happened with so and so?"

I said that I had and she said she never got it, so I went to find the letter and send it to her again.

You can see where this is going, can't you?

Yes, I sent it to HIM by mistake. I *wondered* why he was acting so weird and hinting like, did I want to tell him something.

Anyway, nothing ever came of it and he's married someone else now. Still get nauseous remembering that though.

OH! *gasp* I'm sorry, but that's FUNNY! I'm horrid, I know.

I once pretended i was in the olympics....i was a hurdler...and i saw my hurdle......it was a big, open, ground covering cactus.
I focused my energy on jumping clean over the top of it....i took a deep breath.....closed my eyes...imagined me jumping over it....and started to run....

*running noises...*
*jumping sound*
*the sound of my shoelace getting tagged onto one of the cactus' many arms*
*AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

yes, thats right people, I landed smack bang in the middle of the big, ground covering cactus...and because i was pretending to be a hurdler...i was practically doing the splits when i landed in the middle....
ouch...no further explanation needed.

indeed, not alot of fun

LOL! That sounds like something right out of a sitcom!!! That was good Anson Kail!

For me, it was when I got caught trying to use a calculator on the FCAT ...but let's not dwell on that, shall we?

Lesse...lesse...Hmm...
When I lived in Texas a few years back I had a goat named Oreo I would show. He was really big and strong, and tough to control. Anyway, In the middle of a show, he got loose and was running around the ring and everybody was trying to catch him. Man that was aqward.

Oreo was fun to ride. I was thrown off in a few seconds, but it was fun.

Most of my embarrasing moments include me running into things and I really dont want to recall all those moments!

I manage to embarass myself every day when I come onto these boards and see what I posted the night before when I was drunk

But honestly...nothing really embarasses me.

O.K. here is a couple of my embarassing moments...
I work in a pre-school, have to be there at 7:30 am and I am not a 'morning' person - so I get out of bed at 6:50, its takes me 10 minutes to get ready
So I'm at school and we are walking back from the gym and this boy asks me,
"Ms. Meagan why are you wearing two different shoes?"
Ohh gosh, we all laughed that whole day and they remembered that for the rest of the year.
*hopes they still remember, when they are all grown up !

And for the next one...
I'll get straight to the point...My b/f and I were 'doing it' in the woods...We turn around to leave afterwards and this family of deers, were sitting there, like they were watching the movies or something

hmmm...
walking friends + me running down the street + badly placed telephone pole = big bad boo boo

lol where do i start??? one was when i was having an x-ray of my back, the radiographer wrapped a lead belt around my waist so the radiation wont be harming the ovaries and what-not... i get my 'picture' taken, go to leave and the radiographer goes
"ahem, havent you forgotten something?"
me.. " umm....?"
he extends his hand, and i high five it...
"um no, i was actually after the lead belt"
me. "oh... bugger"

I've embarassed myself many times, in many different ways......

I have had many, in fact one day I shall write a book and sell it....but here is one....

I was 13, at camp and we were in a hall with the rest of our year level, about 100 kids or more.... Anyway i was mucking around with this girl, as kids do, and I flisked her on the arm in response to one to me. The teacher standing nearby caught me doing it, and had me stand up on stage with a microphone and apologise to her in front of everyone..... Man was i laughed at, as I went 4 shades of red as Im not the best public speaker in the world...lol

Wait a couple hours...gonna be there soon.

2 stories... I don't usually embarrass that easy, at least when I was younger I didn't... but...

1st one I was working as a telemarketer (was kinda a sweatshop outfit, owners/managers are all in jail now) and I was calling off my list (was like 16 yrs old) and one lady answered and I asked for Mr. Whatever his name was and she was all... "He's dead waaaa waaaa waaa how can you call me and ask for him waa waaa waaa" and I didn't know what to say. I just felt embarrassed.

2nd one takes a little setup I guess... I was either 16 or 17 I think...
A friend had an uncle with an ostrich ranch. He hired us to go collect the eggs. Easy right? Ha! I learned alot about ostrichs that day for sure.

There were I dunno... maybe 20 of them, and they were all in separate fenced in areas with about a 10 foot fence. The fences were made of wire, but were pretty shoddy with posts only at the corners and the "gates", so the middle of the fences sagged and were wobbly.


After a couple attempts at running in and grabbing eggs without much success (they would charge at us... kinda scary)... we figured out... this is so wierd. Well, they make this funny noise, and I'm guessing it was their season or something, and they flap their wings and get on their knees and stuff... so... I immitated it on the far end of the fence, flapping my arms and making that noise back at them. That got them attracted to me and one of my other friends was able to run in and get the egg. We had fun teasing each other what the ostrich would do if it could get out of the fence...

There were 4 or 5 of us there. Well, me being the fastest, we got the larger of the group to make the flapping gestures and distract the ostrichs while I'd jump the fences and grab the eggs. I usually wear "normal" underware, and sometimes I wear boxers... that comes in to play later...

I think we had like 4 more eggs to collect... We start the procedure... Big guy flaps outside the far end of fence, Ostrich goes and does it's mating dance, I jump the fence, run to the egg... but this time, the ostrich spotted me and didn't like what I was doing...

It gets up, and starts running at me!!! OMG, if you've ever had an ostrich running at you, and you see those big powerful legs with those sharp claws... it's a scary thing. So I get the egg and take off to the fence. I do the hand off to the guy outside the fence, take a step back, and jump on top of the fence just as the ostrich is reaching me I spring from the fence and go flying through the air. See, I jumped on the fence in the middle of an area between posts... where the fence was sagging... and because of the play in the fence, and the ostrich hitting the fence just as the thing was swinging forward... I flew a good 20 feet further than I wanted to.

While flying through the air, I had time to reorient myself and look to see where I was going to land... I put my butt towards the ground and saw where I was fixing to land... smack dab in the middle of a huge about 15 foot radius patch of Texas cactus. Everything's bigger in Texas... especially cactus needles... in bad places...

It took a good 20 minutes for the guys to get through the cactus to get to me... I landed pretty much on my butt and my left hand... not many needles anywhere else... but dang... had the big long ones, and then those little red hair looking ones.... and my butt wasn't the only victim, but there were a few in front and some inbetween as well.

Well, they hacked their way to me, and picked me up, face down butt up, and carried me to the back of the truck. It hurt. So I layed there face down in the back of the truck while they drove around and finished getting the eggs... I couldn't move.

We get the eggs, I'm in the back of the truck face down, butt up with needles sticking out... oh and out of my hand too ouch. They were considering where to take me... I'm talking hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of needles... ok so I guess we decided to drive into town first and drop off the eggs... can't afford to break any for sure... then maybe take me to an emergency room...

Ok, so we drop off the eggs at his uncle's house... I'm still in the bed of the truck face down... and start heading towards an emergency room... and one of them said "taco bell" cause we were passing one... and I shouted "Get me a burrito!!!"... so they pull in and get me a burrito and get themselves some munch too... I eat it with my good hand, while face down in the bed of the truck.

Then I decide I'm too embarrassed to go to the emergency room... so... one of the guys takes me to his girlfriends house. Her mom was good to us kids heh. They carried me face down into the house and plopped me down on a couch and immediately began administering the Whiskey. That's when the jokes really started. I drank it like it was water... they also passed me a few doobies and after a while at least the pain wasn't bad anymore.

Then they were trying to figure out how to get all the needles from out my @$$... so... all the guys left and left me with the girlfriend, a friend of hers, and her mom. Very carefully, and very slowly, and every now and then a little painfully... they began to remove my clothes. One of them put my hand between her legs cause I kept flinching it, it hurt, and while she was pulling those out it helped keep my mind off the pain in my but as they were taking my pants off... the three of them were giggling like crazy the whole time... and it was the one day, I decided to wear, BRIGHT Yellow Speedo looking underwear!!! Arruuughhhh!!! noooo! Of all times I'd want to be nekkid with any of those 3... it has to be like this... ugh...

Took them a while to be able to get those off, and then they had to dig in very very private areas... there were sooooo many needles in me, the little red ones were the worst... They did a good job though, I was drunk and stoned by that time so wasn't TOO bad till they poured rubbing alcohol on my @$$, flipped me over, and then poured it on my front and the inbetweens...

Under almost any other circumstance I would have totally enjoyed it... but when cactus needles are involved... I still kinda flinch when I see them, and they're all over Texas... But so far, that has to be my most embarrassing moment ever.

Some other things I've done would be embarrassing to some, but not me, pretending to mate with an ostrich and having your friend's girlfriend's mom pull cactus needles off a bright yellow briefed butt was pretty embarrassing for me. heh.

Edit: I forgot to add... cactus needles are barbed. When they pulled them slow it would make my skin lift, so they started ripping them out quickly... leaving big holes in my hand... dunno what my @$$ looked like heh...

I was not going to post on this thread but I gave in. If my wife reads this I am a dead man.
My wife and I were involved in the swinging lifestyle prior to the birth of our son. On the way to the first party we ever attended we stopped for a quick bite to eat. My wife ordered sensibly, a salad, I on the other hand ordered 2 bean burritos. Well we got to the party and found it to be a lot like a scene from a porn movie. Naked people, over 20 people, everywhere doing........., well you get the point. After overcoming some initial shyness and getting involved we started to relax and have a great time. First and the least embarrassing moment came when a video crew showed up to film the action for an adult porn site and to be in the film you had to have identification to prove your age and sign a release, my wife's and mine were out in the car. Had to get dressed, go to the car, get ID and return to the party. The most embarrassing moment came at a very inopportune time to say the least. Remember the 2 bean burritos!!!! 4 couples in a room doing, you know what, and I could not refrain any longer, the pressure in my lower belly had built up to the danger point. I tried to be discrete but given the circumstances it was all but impossible. The mood went from lust to escape mode in about 3 seconds. I could have never been more embarrassed but I do believe my wife was even more embarrassed than I was.

^ Omg! that's funny!

here's mine:

It was the last day of the fifth grade and i wanted to look pretty. So I wore a dress and panty hose. I had totally forgotten that we were going to the skating rink across the street that day! so i went skating despite the fact that i was wearing a dress. I could never resist the fast skate and was enjoying the fact that i was amongst the fasted skaters! but during one of my turns, i slammed into one of the slower skaters. When i realized what had happened, I was lying in the middle of the rink with the skirt of my dress up and over me. i pull it down at look at the shocked crowd of fifth graders. and who is the first face i am to look upon....a wide eyed, open-mouthed crush i had. when he saw me look at him, he turned away embarassed. i had to pull every inch of strngth not to cry! It was sooo embarrassing.

wow that really embarassing but funny

ohmigosh! These ARE hilarious! Okay, I have another one. It's nothing to compare with SOME people's (no naked, kinky sex involved) but, here goes:

Years ago I was walking along a sidewalk in Columbia, Missouri, and I had to pass a fast food restaurant (Hardee's, I think). It was summer and they had a sprinkler set up so that it was oscillating across the walk. I took a minute to watch it and get my timing down, then made a run at it and got past the sprinkler without getting soaked. Feeling jubilant, I turned back, put my thumbs in my ears, waggled my fingers and stuck my tongue out at the sprinkler.

And then I saw, parked just beyond it, a station wagon packed with about fourteen people, all staring at me and laughing and pointing me out to their children!

My most embarrasing moment can not be posted here...but my second one can.

I went through 11 years of having my ex husband beat me up at least once a day...I finally plucked up the courage to tell people(my best mate most of all)

The embarrasing bit was I thought I'd hidden it from them but they had noticed most of the marks I had...it was really bad thinking that I could have talked to them before as they already knew...was my face red

I don't want to talk about it

Bless you, thats not embarrassing to me, thats strength, it takes a strong women to come out and tell of what was happening to you behind closed doors, even though others may have already of had a clue. You done something about it, and that's what count's..But i guess to you it was a little ebarrassing...

My embarrassing moment, tripping over the cat in front of a load of firemen out side, i was to busy being nosey and to know what was going on to see the cat...

Hope i didnt offend you in any way ACG by saying what i did..

The first one cracks me up! There was a blooper show on tv (it was either bloopers or funny videos.. can't remember exactly) but the husband was video taping himself driving to his wife's work, with a matching shoe b/c she had on two different. She didn't look happy about him filming it.

I was talking to my carpool gals, before christmas, and they were giving me gift ideas for my secret pal (my secret pal is a guy) and one of the gals said you could get him towels with the word face and butt on them and I said, oh my god I don't know him well enough to call him a butt face! She didn't even get was I was saying for a few minutes and then said... no... one end is for your face - the other end for your butt. I hated the idea

When I was in my mid, 20s I worked for a delivery service that handled anything small. I was talking some Hospital x-rays in to a Medical Center one morning, and as I walked in the door a young women asked me to pick-up her purse that was near her feet. In a rather flippant way I asked" Whats the matter, You BLIND".
She said very nicely " Yes I am"

I am 50 years old now and that one incident still makes me think before I speak. Or write I hope.

Once, I walked into Starbucks and layed-out, with total confidence in my voice, my father's whole drink request. Problem was that I had just ordered an: Original sized, Orange Dream Smoothie with a immunity boost. Ihad ordered a Jamba Juice drink at Starbucks......Well, atleast it was the same company...

Gosh, ACG! I'm so glad you finally stood up and did something about it!

{{{{{hugs}}}}}

I've had a few experiences with depression and some other medical problems that I thought I was successfully hiding from my friends and family until after I finally fessed up and found out they knew all along, so I know what you mean about feeling a bit foolish. It's just good that you finally took that step. It had to take a helluva lot of courage!

Okay, now, since I'm posting in this topic, I need another embarrassing story.

One time, after I lost a contact lens, I had to wait about two weeks for new glasses to come in. I am literally blind without my glasses -- the last time they were able to measure my eyesight it was something like 20/1400. Did this stop me from riding my bicycle in downtown Columbia, Missouri? Of course not! Well, at least not until I'd gotten lost within a block of my house (yes, I had to stop and ask for directions. "Hi, I'm a blind chick on a bicycle. Can you tell me where I live? ) and discovered a construction site by riding straight into the orange netting around it. <g> (And yes, there were people watching.)

During this same time I also had a "near-embarrassment" experience. Having given up the wheels temporarily I was walking down the sidewalk when I saw a horse coming towards me on the other sidewalk, across the street. A lifelong animal lover, I was delighted. I'm thinking, "wow! A horse! You never see a horse in town!" So, I crossed the street to meet it, thinking someone was riding it. Fortunately I realized it was just a couple walking arm in arm before I asked if I could pet their nose.

Once I asked my (now, ex-) father-in-law how his mother was doing when I saw a picture of her on his wall. He very nicely said, " She passed away 2 years ago".

Aww! Don't feel bad, Joc! That happens a lot. After my mom died I had a lot of people over the next couple of years come up and go, "hey! So how's your mom doing?" I always hated having to tell them because I knew they'd feel stupid.

There have been so many! About 20 years, I lived with my x hippy mother. I was a teenager then, about 16. At that piont in time my mother was dating this man that would take her to a nudist camp. So, she was a nudist. Anyway, I came home one day with a boyfriend. There was my mother walking around the house stark-ass naked. YUCK! It was VERY EMBARRASSING!

Awww...you ok hun,you didn't offend me.

most embarassing moment: i got drunk when i was 12 and walked into the fridge
and also:
when i was 13 i decided it would be fun to attach my dog (a blue heeler X bull terrier) to the front of my bike cos i couldn't be bothered riding. then the dog saw a cat and ran after it, pulling my bike over in the middle of the road. i fell off the bike and hit my chin on the road. i was walking home when these guys stopped their car and asked me if i was ok. i said i was fine (they gave me a weird look as they drove off (i couldn't work out why at the time)) and continued walking home, rubbing my chin and the side of my face because it stung a bit. when i got home i went into the bathroom just to wash out any minor cuts i figured i'd have. i looked in the mirror and the was 2cm long cut on my chin which had been bleeding baldy. my mum came in and saw blood over a quarter of my face (i'd been rubbing it coz it had stung, thus getting blood on my face) and tried to take me to the hospital for stitches. i'd already had stitches so i ran like crazy. she caught me though. it was so embarrasing

Awwww god love ya Pyro Pheenix..

Mine is when people keep winding me up, and fall for it, and i look like a dim whit, thats embarrassing...

one of my best friends is a guy, age 15, we all were at a party, and got really drunk playing spin the bottle, anyway, we ended up kissing, and next morning stupid me, doesnt remember a thing, until he tells me he engineered the whole thing fortunatley we're still best mates

I am king of embarrassing moments....I could make my own thread.... In short.....

*I once played golf and hit a golf ball at full strength point blank into a steel pipe, which rebounded and hit my right in the stmoach, giving me a bruise the size of a football....

*I once was climbing a fence (which was built in the 70's and rotting) and was standing on top of it moving alog with my arms against my garage.... climbing over a giant blackberry bush when funnily enough the rotting fence gave way and I fell into the middle of the bush.... I spent the next 3 days puulling prickles out of my body.....

*I was once in a bike race around the block, and was distracted by what I thought was a friend calling my name, I turned backwards over my shoulder to find nothing...I turned back to see a car just in time to slam into it and demolish what was a collarbone....lol

*I took a girl on a first date, and on the way to a nice quiet spot to talk my car broke down in the middle of nowhere.... and I was forced to call my parents to come get us..... They never met her before, and that was really awkwad...

*I was once climging on a stone bird bath to try and get something off the roof of my house, and over balanced toppling the birdbath over and landing stomach first onto it....cutting myself open.....

*I once pulled a groin muscle playing mini golf....

I can go on forever, as I am about the saddest peron who ever lived....

Ouch! Subtemperate, your embarrassing moments sound painful!

I hadn't considered pratfalls. FWIW, when I worked fast food I fell off the prep line, the cattle rails (those are the bars that guide people up to the counter -- I was hanging Christmas ornaments), turned and stepped off a ladder thinking I was on the bottom rung when I was really on the third rung (twice), and fell out the drive-thru window headfirst. The window was the most embarrassing, because I was yelling, "help! I'm falling out the window! Help!" and my co-workers were standing around clapping and laughing at me.

lol elfstone.....

Man in drive through: They really are giving away great things with meals these days.....

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Yes yes yes, laugh it up.....

another one today, fell over on the ice, landed on my backside, which is now bruised and bashed my back as well worst thing is happened right in front of the first years and i'm in sixth form

-Post removed by request-

Sorry, but that was damn funny....

Pulled a groin playing mini golf! Poor Subby!

I played mini golf once. You know how some people lose their ball in the water trap? I lost my club. And the water trap wasn't even on the hole that I was playing.

...I lost a golf club up a very tall tree doing the same thing...

LOL! It's probably lucky for the world that we're too far apart to ever go mini golfing together!

Yes, we are what would be known as Mini-Golfers with a handicap.... (should note I do play regular golf... or at least used to...so people would expect better of me...)

Oh..... I forgot to mention when I was 16 I went on a school camp for a week, after having a good time i came home and whilst umpacking I noticed that my drawers were missing something..... Shortly after unpacking my parents came into my room and said they had decided to clean out my room when I was away, and had just happened to stumble upon my collection of porn... (Which at the tim was enough to fill a drawer of a dressing table.. (double standard drawer size).... I still dont know where i got it from...but anyhow....the talk that followed about things being natural and not to objectify women was pure embarrassment at its strongest form.....

Well I am sure everyone like me, has done some really stupid or crazy things and some of them you are not so proud of or it is just plain silly. Just wondering what other ppl's were if they cared to share. My first one was i had this brainy idea like when i was 13 to see if my friend could fold me up in our fold up couch. LOL i got stuck and had to stay in there till she ran to the neighbors to get someone to get me out. The next one was rather embarrassing so i'm not going to go into great detail because for one its naughty..Lets just say getting caught by a police officer while doing something in a park.

Merged.
