What was your most embarrassing moment?

[rathma]

Remember?

In the last embarassing moments thread, I told a story about unfortunate happenings at a school wax museum, ending in the injury of Abraham Lincoln and me hiding in a cabinet for several hours. Anyone remember this?

When I was 16 I worked as a waitress and a bunch of friends from work would rent a hotel room every Saturday night and just get smashed. One night I was especially drunk and had to walk across the street to the gas station for something (probably munchies, who knows). Anyway, someone had to go with me, and as we were crossing the street, I saw a bunch of police cars in the parking lot of the gas station. Well, it was like 3 a.m. and I was 16 and completely wasted, so I stopped in the middle of the deserted, six lane highway, crouched down (as if no one would see me?), and ran back to the hotel. I wasn't sure if the police had seen me, so I was like creeping along the walls, ducking behind bushes, peeking around the corners and such. When I got to the stairs (we were on the second floor), I crawled up the stairs on all fours and scratched at the door. When my friends asked me what I was doing I told them I was a cat in stealth mode. And that's how Stealth Kitty was born.
BTW I don't drink anymore

Ahh this inspires me to share one of my drunk stories.. It involved a 5th of jack, a 5th of jim, a couple of 40's and a fence.. I was blitzed out of my mind-in fact the only time I ever blacked out. But I was drinking in my friend's backyard who happened to live right behind my cousin. So anyhow, my friend passed out at the picnic table and we decided to just leave him there. I decided to crash at my cousin's house since I was too drunk to drive home. Well there was a small fence between my friend's house and my cousin's-maybe 5 feet or so. I had hopped that fence countless times before. But for some reason I couldn't make it over that night. I got stuck at the top-for about 20 minutes. finally one of my friends helped(pushed) me over, and I got down... that was just the beginning of the night, but I don't want to steal everyone else's thunder, so we'll save that for another day... hehe

and btw, I don't drink anymore either, although I managed to acquire enough stories by 22 for 5 or 6 people

Embarrassing stories? Plenty of those.

Mom used to make me wear the clothing my grandmother made for me when I was a kid...'nuff said!

Or, there was the time I was on the playground after school (in 2nd or 3rd grade I think), and heard that tell-tale ripping sound. Went running to mom to have her take me home because I had ripped my pants...she was talking with the other moms and wanted to talk with them a bit longer, told me to go back to playing. I protested a bit and she assured me it wasn't so bad as I thought, just the outside seam, not the inside seam, don't worry, nobody could even tell. So, reassured, I went back to the playground, only to hear laughter from behind, followed by, "I see London, I see France..." Yes, my mom lied to me...she took me home when I returned in tears.

Oh, and then there was the time when our teacher requested the parents donate some rags to clean the chalkboard, and mom gladly complied...as the teacher pulled out an old pair of underpants from the bag mom gave me to take to school, I realized the source of the rags she sent! I think the teacher was just as embarrassed, or maybe just really felt sorry for me.

Mom was a continual source of embarrassment in my childhood. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Right?!

I once had an English professor - a woman - who commented one day that no one should ever go for psychological counseling. "I can save you a lot of time and money" she said, "it's all your mother's fault!"

Once when I was 16 (the legal age of consent in the UK) I was at a party my girlfriend was holding, and we were just a little drunk. Anyhow, around 10pm I was with my girlfriend in her room... You can guess the rest and the general idea of the situation. After about 10 minutes we heard a knock at the door. It was followed by another, then another, then another. Eventually the knocker burst in, and we ALMOST got caught. It turned out to be my girlfriend's dad.

Anyhow, luckily I managed to jump up and run across the room to hide behind her full length curtains, pulling on my boxer shorts as I went. Not a sly hiding place, I know, but I was drunk. Besides - it worked! I heard him burst in, and I guess he must of looked around and only seen his daughter seemingly innocently "getting changed". He asked if she was okay... After a few more seconds I thought he must be leaving. Suddenly I heard a massive cheer!

I looked over my shoulder only to see the entire population of the party in the garden, looking up into the window I happened to be standing at. Typically the full-length curtains were covering a full size window, so I guess someone must have looked up and seen me standing there almost naked. Either way, they must have realized what was going on, or that I was hiding - I got quite a cheer, and a lot of encouragement in gesture form. I put my finger to my lips to signify they should be quiet, but either way I don't think my girlfriend's dad realized the cheering was related to me or to anything behind the curtains so I was safe.

I got a lot of jibes about that later on when I reappeared downstairs...

... end of the story I guess.

This one is ... maybe not most embarrassing to me. Math teacher caught girlfriend one hand in my pants...

Know what lovely teacher she was. We were the two elected students to represent the others at teachers meetings. She knew us very well. At the end of the lecture, she came to us and said (blushing) (all the three of us) "I met my husband in this classroom"

Amazing to me.

Now THAT'S funny! Please tell me this wasn't DURING math class?

 

[Gokul43201]

Of course it was ! Would you expect any less from Parisian schools ?

Well, I guess you found your math class quite...what's the word...stimulating !

 

[humanino]

It was during class, and we both love math (even before) (I mean, math by itself )

The teacher was writing a five-blackboard demonstration. When she got to the end, she turned around to the assistance smiling (because she was glad she just finished), and when she noticed, she blushed and stop smiling but pretented she did not notice anything, and went to the next exercise. She was never mad at us.

 

[humanino]

All right, I will tell stories that happened here in the US lately if you want !

Hey guys, it was not hot, it was cute OK.

My most embarrasing moment was at a very fine restaurant.

My date and I had been at a formal function and I was wearing an evening gown that was cut to the bottom of my rib cage in front and below my waist in the back. There was very little holding it up on my shoulders. I had to be very careful about my posture.

During dinner, I leaned to one side a bit too much and one side of my dress slipped off of my shoulder and exposed one side of my chest down to the waist.

Luckily, we were in a small alcove and I don't think anyone but my date noticed before I quickly covered myself.

 

[BoulderHead]

Talk about a dream date!

Darn clothing malfunctions! Next time you'll remember your double-sided tape on the inside of the dress!

No kidding! I found out about that trick a bit too late.

Humanino is always very nice and helpful, so I am sure it was an innocent explanation of trigonometric angles. So Humanino ... when the teacher caught you, were you demonstrating pi/4 or pi/2?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Hey now! Its getting close to the bone when you start asking for angles

 

[Math Is Hard]

hehehehehe - Nice one, Ivan!
but anyways ... Shame on me! - I fully deserve a warning for that. I'll blame my bad behavior on Tribdog's reappearance. He's a terrible influence!

 

[Cummings]

hehe..double sided elevators.

My most embarrasing one would have to be getting caught by my mother, and it wasnt with a chick (or guy).

Not much to say about it. She burst in, took a moment to realize then went out again. Not a single word said.

I have been quite lucky with embarrasing moments. But now that i said that...

hehe...double sided elevators that one cracked me up

 

[BoulderHead]

masterbatus interruptus, ain’t it darling?!

 

[Gokul43201]

In an elevator ?

First time I had sex, her parents walk in on us (yes, both of them!)... I jumped out that window so fast I sprained my ankle.

 

[The Binary Monster]

Ah hah! Unlike myself you have not mastered the art of hiding behind curtains ;)

 

[humanino]

My first girlfriend and I were really tough on our parents. We invited each other to have dinner with the family, and ended up sleeping together, so our parents had to face it right away. That was twice shouting mornings as you can imagine, and were two other most embarassing moments for me (and her) (and the parents ). But it was worth, since we stayed almost 5 years together.

 

[The_Professional]

What was your most embarrassing moment?

life would be boring without secrets...don't you think?

 

[amwbonfire]

What was your most embarassing moment?

I don't have one - I never do silly things.

I've got too many. It'd be hard to choose just one.

This will do:

Quite a few years ago (9 years ago) I went to school wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants. It wasn't until I got home I realized they were pyjamas.

I was wondering why everyone kept laughing at me!

Thus proving Newton's Theory of Gravity in the process.

Woody Allen calls that, "...having sex with someone you love."
