Confession time - most embarrassing moments
I have had many embarrassing moments but I think the worst was when I was in my early 20's and living with a bunch of friends. I slept on the fold out sofa in the living room and I was working long hours at a racetrack. I came in at about 10 or 11 one night just dead beat and collapsed on the sofa.

Apparently, a number of people came over to party and hang out - I never even knew they were there but the following morning, I woke up and there was a guy in bed with me! Had no idea who he was, what he was doing there and whether or not anything besides sleep had happened (I normally slept in nothing but a t shirt).

It was mortifying but I had to go to work so I left my roommate a note asking, "who is the guy in my bed and how did he get there?"

(turned out he'd merely passed out there but I was worried about it all day)

2. That's no so embarrassing
Yesterday at work I was taking a shit, and I thought I have locked the door, but I hadn't. I was looking at the floor, and when I looked up I noticed that the door had swung open.

Not actually embarrassing, because nobody was there, but had the potential for embarrassment.

4. Mine was at work
In cubicleville...I had just stood up to reach my printer, and my boss happened to be walking by my cubicle at the time. Apparantly I had pushed my chair back further than I thought, so when I went to sit back down, my butt hit like 1/2 inch of the seat...the chair went barreling backwards and I landed on the ground.

My boss YELLS, "Are you okay?" loud enough for the whole department to hear it. I responded that maybe he should get on the intercom and announce what a royal klutz I am, since the whole company didn't get to hear about it.

5. LOL Good one
Reminds me of yet another of mine when I was working at the previously mentioned racetrack. A dog of mine had fallen during the race and I had to go fetch him near the finish line. It was a big night, we'd had a stakes race or something and the place was jam packed with people. The lights were still on at the finish line and I walked by jauntily on the track with the leash in my hand, letting it play out to the handle.

Except there was no handle so it slipped out of my grasp onto the ground - I leaned forward to pick it up, missed, leaned further, missed - and fell flat on my face on the track, at the finish line, in the lights, in front of thousands of people. ~sigh~

6. School had just ended, hundreds of kids. I was looking
at a young man I was interested in and fell over a garbage can...

My soul was bruised that day and it will never heal :)

7. Slamming (between the first and second joints) the car door of
my 1980 Mustang into my right hand (between the first and second joint of all but the thumb). To add insult to injury, I locked the door and had already had dropped the car keys into the bottom of my purse.

First reaction second to wincing from a rush of excruciating pain? = I quickly looked around in the parking garage to make sure nobody else saw me doing something so DAMN STUPID. LOL

Since I couldn't pull the four fingers out and felt light headed (about to pass out from pain), I reached down with my left hand and dug out the keys in the bottom of my purse, then finally freed my seriously bruised up fingers. Fortunately those old cars had cushion (not much!) and a little give so I did not break any bones.

8. Mine was in Junior High School, which is also known as
the sanctuary of mortifying moments. Actually, it was my very first day of Jr. High (7th grade) & my loving mother was just sure I was going to receive my *ahem* womanhood, if you will, on that very day. So, unbeknownst to me, she placed a couple handfulls of monstrous maxi pads in the bottom of my bookbag before I left for school.

My first stop of the morning was the auditorium, where we had the first-day-of-school assembly. Nervous, I sat in the first open seat I spotted, right on the aisle. I slid my bookbag under my chair & looked around for someone I knew.

A few minutes later, one of the "popular" freshman girls is standing right next to me. My hopes of her actually wanting to hang out with me were quickly shot when I saw what she was holding in her hand. One of my mom's pads. Apparently, my bag wasn't properly secured & one of those little bastards had flown out & skidded clear across the auditorium floor.

She said, "I think this is your's" and strutted back to her group of giggling friends. So embarrassing.

9. The first time I met my future father-in-law...
Arthur and I hadn't been going out long (2 dates)when we, after much alcohol and "smokes" decided to go to the apartment he was sharing with his father due to a flood in Arthur's old place. His dad was out for the evening, and we got cozy on the sofa in the livingroom. Things got heated and before you can say "let's get naked", we were. At the moment when I (and my then 36DD's) are "on top" silloueted against the window, HE WALKS IN! Arthur had forgotten to lock the door.

He passed away last year, but he never failed to say how much he enjoyed meeting me, that first time.

11. OK so I'll tell you ONE andonly ONE!
Hubby and I were going to a Christmas dinner dance for a place he used to work. I wanted to wear a dress (I normally don't). I only had one pair of pantyhose. They were too small but it was all I had. I got them on. But with every step I took the crotch inched it's way down my legs toward my knees where it eventually stopped. So there I was at the party Panythose around my knees trying not to get up. I did go to the ladies room and pulled them up as best I could - but to no avail - they went right back down.

Yeah yeah yeah - Laugh it up. LMAO

12. I ran myself over with my own truck...
The truck had big tires and jacked up suspension but the ignition switch in the cab didn't work. I was too cheap to fix it. To start the truck I would climb underneath and short out the solenoid on the starter motor. Worked like a charm the first dozen times.

The very first step in this procedure was, "Put the tranmission in NEUTRAL"! Sure enough, one day I filled the tank at the local gas station, wiggled under the front of the truck and fired it up.

However, the truck was in FIRST GEAR, you know, a real granny gear. When the motor started, the truck lurched forward. The front tire climbed over my left leg -- up high on my thigh. Above the knee but below my package.

The wide tires distributed the weight without actually crushing me or breaking anything. I rolled over and ducked as the rear differential went over my head.

The truck kept going. Even without a driver, it managed to pull out into the street in the middle of traffic. I hobbled after, climbed in, drove off as though it happened everyday.

I was very sore and bruised but no lasting injuries.

16. Stuck out alone on the expressway in pajamas and slippers.
About 2-3 years ago, I woke up early one morning and thought I'd surprise the family with some Krispy Kremes. Krispy Kreme has a drive through, so I thought, what the hell, I'll go in my pajamas. So, I put on my fuzzy slippers and went out. Anyway, I took the expressway because it was only about 10 minutes away on the expressway. Right after I went through the IPASS, my car started rumbling. At first, I thought I was just going over the rumble strips under the toll. But the rumbling got worse. So I pulled over to the side. Flat tire. It was 6 in the morning, I didn't have a cell phone and nobody knew I was gone. So, the only thing I thought to do was walk back to the toll and get someone to call help. I started to walk back and really quickly a cop stopped. I HAD to be wearing the pajamas with little moons and clouds :eyes:. Anyway, while I was talking to him, 2 other cops came as backup (??). The cop told me to wait in my car to be safe. So I did. I could see them cracking up in the mirror. It was MORTIFYING. The cop was really nice and took me to the gas station to call my mom. While I waited for her to come pick me up, I had a good number of people laugh at me as they bought their gas and coffee. Jerks.
