Your most embarrassing moment?

Oh yes, that most embarrassing moment. Mine would have to be the summer of 2005, we all went water skiing on my Bro-in-law's boat. I hadn't been water skiing in over 20yrs, but I was up for it.
After skiing awhile we had come to shore to allow the next group on, the boat was in about 5ft of water. I proceeded to climb over the side of the boat thinking I'd slide down into the water below. Sounds easy right? Right.
As I took off over the side, I hear my Bro-in-law say, "watch out for the cleat!" I thought, "cleat, what's a cleat?" Swaying back and forth above water, I realized the elastic around the leg of my bathing suit bottoms had caught on a hook and there I was hanging on the side of the boat while my entire family on shore and in the water were laughing hysterically. For some reason it's the first story told now at family gatherings...Hey everyone remember when Jan...hahaha,heheh,hohoh!!! It was pretty funny.0 -
I would say that one of my most embarrassing moments would be at my old job. I use to work for a recreational department and every month we would have new ideas and relays to do with the kids. Well during one of our drills I blasted off so fast that on the way back I fell backwards and hurt my coaxes bone. The worst part of it was that it happened in front of my super fit colleagues who I was competing with.
Another embarrassing moment and it has happen more then once is when people come up to my husband and I and congratulate us and/or ask that embarrassing and ask the annoying question of " How far along are you or when is your due date" :laugh: I just answer them by saying “I am way over due but with my diet” I can tell they get as embarrassed as I was. I probably would not mind if they asked me when I was alone but it can get humiliating when they ask you in front of your husband who you are trying to look thin for:bigsmile:0 -
Back when my DH and I were first engaged (we've been married 3 1/2 years now), we had his family over for a birthday shindig. I was in the kitchen with his SIL talking about ordering a cord of firewood, and she told me that she had all this extra wood at her old house. I called hubby in and let him know, but he said he didn't want to chop it himself. SIL then told him that it would build good arm muscles, and wouldn't Robin like that....
Well, I looked her in the eye, smiled and said "That isn't the muscle that I worry about" with a nice wag of the eyebrows. My husband spluttered and I was laughing until I turned and there his mom was, not 5 feet away and heard the whole thing. Mind you... this was before we were married,and we're all good catholics! Luckily mom thought it was cute and funny... Whew
My husband says it's the only time he's ever seen me blush...0 -

bunny that is too funny!
Mine is not recent at all but definitely the worst in my life! I was in 10th grade and we had to memorize one of the speeches from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and I did Mark Anthony's. I was about 430 lbs in HS so I sat in the back to not block anyone. As I squeezed out of the desk and started walking to the front of the room to recite my speech everyone started grabbing at the air and saying ahhh what's that??? Some idiot had put gum under the desk and it got stuck to the front of my shirt and I was stringing it all the way to the front of the room, as I passed everyone it was getting on them. I was soooo embarrassed! :blushing: But I recited my speech perfectly and excused myself to the restroom to bawl my eyes out. I got a 100 A! My teacher said if I could recite that speech perfectly under those conditions I could be president some day. LOL! She was a sweet lady.

Ok here is mine...
When I was pg with my 2nd son, I was suffering terribly with many of the issues that pg mom;s face. I came home and went upstairs, and when I got to the top of the stairs, I felt like I was safe to let a little poot out.
RAAAAAAAAAAAANRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNT, this LOUD long machine gun like noise came out.
My hsband and 6 yr old son were down stairs. There was silence, and then my son said to my husband, "Was that mommy?"
My husband said, "yes honey."
My son replied with "Wow, that sounded like a man!"0 -

Our first house was a little bungalow style place. The bathroom was off the kitchen and the door directly faced the back door of the house.
I was 8 months pregnant with our first daughter and was just finishing my shower. I wrapped in a towel which didn't cover much of anything, stepped out of the bathroom to find my DH's best friend standing in the back door :blushing:
Flash forward two years, and the babe in my tummy in now a toddler. Again, stepping out of the bathrom, freshly showered. No towel this time, as it is just the little one and I at home. WRONG! DH and the SAME friend are walking in the back door.
My hubby just shook his head and they walked out of the house.0 -
a few years ago, i was in the mall with my (ex)boyfriend. we were walking around and there was a jewelry store on the corner. he said 'are those diamonds big enough for you?'. i looked and they had 3 huge 'diamonds' on display to show the different kinds of cuts. being curious and not knowing jack about diamond cuts, i went to get a closer look. one of the cuts intrigued me so i leaned in to get a closer look then - BAM! - i smacked my forehead on the glass window the display was behind! i was so embarrassed i just stood next to the window holding my throbbing head laughing hysterically. when my bf came over to me he had to walk me out. when i walked by the store, everyone inside was pointing to me and their heads asking if i was ok.
yea, im a dork.
Don`t feel bad,more then once I have walked straight into a sliding glass door (last year at the golf course carrying some beers was the latest).
no way! that was you??? lol! :laugh:
It was a source of great amusement for the rest of the year too.:ohwell:0 -

For all of last year after that whenever I was walking towards that same door which led to an outdoor deck I made a big show of making sure it was open.
It makes for a long life if you can`t laugh at yourself.:drinker:0 -

1)When I was a child I always got lost in the stores on purpose and once I mistook a lady for my mom. She looked like her from behind I grabbed her hand and said "mom i want to go now". She just looked at me weird and I fled
2)My mom used to clean at this ladies house and I always had to go with her to help after school because we didn't have a baby sitter. The house was always dirty and full of roaches and I hated going there. One day the house owners where in their bedroom watching TV while we cleaned the kitchen. I though we where safe to talk so I started complaining and talking to my mom about how dirty and disgusting the house was and why didn't they cleaned it themselves. I also mentioned that it was full of disgusting roaches and that the people where nasty pigs for living like this, all while my mom was cleaning away . Little did I know the house owners were hearing me! The lady came out right in the middle of my conversation and gave me this look and said "Yes I know. I heard all the things you said". They both gave me dirty looks too. I was mortified. Later I found out there was a hole where the door knob was supposed to go because they had taken it out to fix it. .:embarassed: I never did that again..0 -

I think I would have done the same thing.0 -
When I was in college, I set off one summer to see the world. So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a golf course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."
So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. But what made it embarrassing for me is that my pants were around my ankles the whole time.
Max did you recite this from memory? Or did you have to go dig out your BetaMax copy of caddy shack to remember the words?
"I have to laugh, because I've outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days. "0 -
Okay mine was last week! I was at the mall with my mom and sister! We were looking through the glass window at some kid clothes and I was talking my head off like normal not paying attention and walked full force into the glass window. I hit hard and had a red spot on my head for awhile, and of course everyone happened to be looking when it happened. I was ready to crawl under a rock and die! I know my fmaily will never let me hear the end of it.0

I worked my way through school as a night delivery girl. So one day I'm going to this office building with a glass front. I walk right into the wall, thinking it was an open door. Smooshed the food and the drink spilled all down my clothes. The guy in the office was laughing so hard he tipped me $20 on a $5 meal.
Also, when my youngest was about 3 months old, I was in line at a convenience store, staring longingly at the Milky Way display beside me. The guy behind me says, Go ahead, the baby wants what it wants. And I said "yes it does" and grabbed 2 of em.0 -
Nope ur not alone!0

Not sure if this was my most embarrassing, but it's the most recent. Thursday night at church I walked in the door slipped on the wet tile and went crashing down. Of course there were people all around. I hit so hard my glasses flew off. And yes, I was wearing a skirt, I've asked if anyone saw anything they shouldn't have, they all said no. But they may be trying to be nice it all happened so fast I'm not sure how I landed. My skirt could have went straight in the air for all I know. I have the big hole in my panty hose and bruise on my knee to show for it!0

I hope you aren't hurt....and if you faint again you should go and see your doctor just to make sure that you are OK.0 -
When I was about 10 yrs. old, I smashed my finger in a window at church. I went to run water on it in the bathroom. Fortunately my dad saw me and followed me to the bathroom to make sure I was okay. I ended up passing out in the bathroom, so my dad carried me outside for some fresh air. I came to with my dress up to my waist and my panties blowing in the breeze with a bunch of the deacons standing around asking if I was okay. I was so embarassed I just wanted to pass out again.

Here goes...
When I was a senior in high school I was trying on dresses at Nordstrom’s for the prom. One was very long on me and I wanted to go grab a pair of shoes that I had on hold in the shoe department to try the dress on with. So, I leave the dressing room and head out of the department and down the escalator. Everything seems fine until I reach the bottom of the escalator when I try to step off and the dress doesn't move. Turns out the dress is stuck in the escalator and is slowly being pulled off of me. My mom was there, and bless her, was panicked that somehow I'd magically get eaten by the escalator so she starts trying to pull the dress off of me too. Unfortunately for me the dress wasn't structured and was a spaghetti strap pull-on with no zippers, so it actually is coming off of me. By the time the maintenance man stops the escalator the dress is halfway down my body and I am covering my top half with my mom's cardigan. Fantastic. Turns out that the escalators were maintained just earlier that day and the company forgot to put the 'protective stopper' (aka: plastic yellow thing) back on the bottom of the stairs (which is supposed to help stop things like this from happening...). So a clerk cut off the bottom of the dress that was stuck so that I could hold the rest of it around me like a skirt on the way back to my clothes. Oh, and of course on my way back to my dressing room I ran into my prom date picking out a tie. Really, it was a day to remember.
The only bright spot was that Nordstrom’s let me have whatever dress I wanted complimentary because of the 'incident'.... of course that meant I picked out a $900 dress....and not surprisingly, that did make me feel better.0
