    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.

    Gee if only you had a book like John did... lol

    i just remembered another one...

    a friend and i had been voluntering at petsmart all day. her 8 year old stepdaughter tagged along all day and wanted to do her own thing when we decided to shop at michael's for a bit. she had been fairly good all day and had a lot of bored energy pent up so she was allowed to go. she grabbed her own shopping cart and tooled around the store. now and again we would catch a glimpse of her trying to hide from us.

    we were walking down an isle and i heard her cart in the next isle. i hurried to the end of the isle and waited until she got to the end and jumped out in front of her, ands in the air, with a loud 'RAAAAAWWRR!' - only to see it was not my 8 year old friend but a lady just doing some shopping on a saturday afternoon. i said oh my gosh, i thought you were someone else, sorry! and walked away, redder than a stop sign. i think my friend pee'd her pants!

    Well let's see, an outstanding humliating moment for me....

    When I was in the sixth grade my family went on vacation to Canada. Like most 6th graders I started to sprout me some pretty fine boobies, if my sixth grade self did say so. (what they had to be a whole load of full AAA's right, something like that) So, I thought I had to be big stuff I guess and wear a TUBE TOP. Now, at this age I have a bratty little sister, six years younger than I.

    (Can you see where this is going?) We were at the grocery store. I was bored and so was my little brat of a sister (I love her dearly, reallly I do) so we went outside in front of the store to wait on my parents. For some reason, we began to squabble like sisters do. In slow motion the little six year old brat gets ticked off at me and grabs the front of the tube top and BLOOP down it goes. Well this was the late 70's I think and tube tops were all elastic, and the dang thing got all rolled up and in my panic couldn't get it back up. When I got it up it was still all rolled up and BLOOOP my tiny new tatas were showing out the bottom. ALLLL the time in front of this huge picture window of the grocery store.

    I thought I was going to DIE of humliation. I would have rather Pee'd my pants in public. (or so I thought...until that one happened on vacation in Virginia beach last year, and yes I found a fantastic lil pill to fix it ladies don't live with PP pants)


    It was horrific!!!!!

    You know, I still haven't got revenge on her for that one..hmmmm

    This just happened to me Sunday. On Saturday my husband and I bought new t-shirts at the Harley store. Well, I wore mine on Sunday. We were out and about shopping at Hasitng Music and I went to the bathroom. I looked down and I still had the XXL sticker on the front of my shirt!!!! I was so ebarrassed I had walked all over Target and Hastings like that. My husband hadn't even noticed!!!

    I wonder how many people DID notice??????


    Memaw


    I wouldn't have been so embarrassed if it was a S instead of XXL!!!!!

    :laugh: I've done that too - except it was pants and the sticker with the pant size was stuck on my rear end all day - no one said anything! :laugh: :noway:

    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!"

    That made me laugh so hard that I have tears rolling down my face!!! (Because it sounds like something I would do!!!!)

    Hi all

    These are TOO funny
    I also don't embarrass easily
    The only thing I can think of is I was set up on a blind date in college and went to a fraternity dance
    We had to take a party bus
    I didn't like the guy at all..total creep
    So, I distanced myself from him big time and found a Robert Smith look-a-like to hook up with instead (as in The Cure)
    Anyway, he got trashed and on the way home used the loud speaker on the bus to call me a HO and a bunch of other colorful names and told everyone he brought me as HIS date and I hooked up with someone else...blah blah
    He was a loser and after he sobered up, he apologized

    I walked out ot the restroom once at work with my skirt tucked into my underwear in the back. Never did hear the end of that.:blushing: :blushing:
    I did this too but to make it worse, I had just started working at this BUSY office and had to walk down the LONGEST hall to get back to my desk. The bathroom that was close to my office was under repairs so all of the executives got to see my backside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Right. So we're driving along and I see my brother. "STOP THE CAR!" I shouted and before the driver could stop properly I launched myself out of the car and went running down the street. I threw myself at my brother, hugging him tightly and happily since I hadn't seen him in awhile...

    just to pull back and realize it wasn't my brother. It was his very convincing doppleganger!

    ARGH!

    SO EMBARRASSING!!!!!

    ok all you people who walk into doors/glass...

    in high school at the end of class, i walked into the door, the skinny part of the door (as in the door was OPEN and i walked into it). i hit it hard too! it was embarrassing but funny.

    even more embarrassing...
    i was a cheerleader in junior high. at one of our basketball games, standing in front of the crowd, i peed my pants (erm, skirt) because another cheerleader made me laugh so hard. i ran to the bathroom and did my best to clean up but it was still really gross!

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: OMG im sitting here snorting at midnight trying to be quiet!

    i also run into open doors.

    one of mine. my first real boyfriend was staying the night, i think i was 17, almost 18, one night before when he stayed we woke up to this gross smell...fast forward to this night, he woke me up going "omg! that gross smell is you! you just farted so loud it woke me up!" then he laughed so hard he started crying. i hid under the covers, wanting to die.

    one more. preggo gas + mexican food + a gigantic belly + a DH trying to be kinky....lets just say we didnt try that position again for a loooong time.:blushing:

    hehe these stories are hilarious! I feel closer to everyone here :bigsmile:

    So this happened to me last year. I had been losing weight pretty quickly (had ALOT to lose) and so I didn't want to keep buying clothes every couple months. Needless to say, my current wardrobe (aka Fat Clothes) were getting pretty loose. So one fateful afternoon, I was leaving work and on the way to my car, right there in the middle of the office parking lot - my skirt AND underwear fell down. Yep, they just fell off my waist before I could grab 'em and I was nekkid from the waist down for about 5 seconds in the fresh outside air! :noway: (5 seconds too long)
    I bought some new clothes the next day! (note to self: 3 sizes too big is TOO BIG to wear in public) :drinker:
