Your most embarrasing (sp?) moment

bump

I was in jr high school track and I ran long distance. So usually for practice, we ran through the town, instead of on the track. Well one particular day it was my TOM and the rain was also downpouring really really hard. I had not yet discovered how convienient tampons were at the time so lets just say the "Item" I was wearing got "washed out" and washed out all over the back of my shorts. So here I am running around town and had the back of my shorts bright red. I then ran around the track to cool down at the end and went into the locker room and turned around in the mirror and was horrified. NOT ONE PERSON said anything to me.

I WAS HORRIFIED!!!

I was about 9 and was at Church camp when TOM showed up (always unannounced and NEVER on a schedule since I was 8).. I didnt bring stuff and was WAY to embarassed to ask because none of the other girls had hit that point yet. So I just rolled up some TP and papertowel and created a "Super Soaker Barrier" I believe I referred to it.

We were having a pillow fight and it fell out into the floor.. I was mortified and spent the rest of the night in the bathroom crying while counselors brought me the supplies I needed as well as the remainder of the week unable to look at anyone in the eyes.

:O That's horrible!!!

It was an embarrasing moment that made me feel good too....

We were renting an apartment on the 2nd floor of a house while some work was being done on our home, the hubby, 4 kids (2 teenagers), and I.

One day there was a note left on our door from the first floor neighbors addressed to "The Parents of the Teenage Boys who Live Above Us."

I opened it thinking **** what did those kids do now! It said, "Please tell your boys that their bedroom is right above ours and that we can't get any sleep because of all the banging, loud noises, yelling they are doing during sex. This happens all hours of the night and sometimes for hours at a time. Please tell them to be considerate of the people living below them."

My first thought was do they really think we are letting the kids have sex while we are in the same house, then I realized my bedroom was above thiers!

When I was young, we were pretty much poor. In first grade, my class was all sitting cross legged listening to a story. The teacher was handing out cheetos to anyone who got a question right. I got the first question right, but I didn't want to eat the cheeto bc no one else was and I didn't want to crunch. So, I just held it in my lap. The boy next to me kept staring at it. Then the teacher broke into this speech about being respectful of people who don't have as much money/stuff as you and not judging others. I realized then, that there was a hole in the crotch of my hand-me-down sweatpants. Completely mortifying! 20+ years later, and I still feel so embarrassed.

In college, I was in colorguard. We were doing a performance in front of Cinderella's castle at Disney World. We had to walk up the steps to the stage single file, and I tried to position myself so I wouldn't land in the front row. But dangit, I landed in the front row. It was very windy. Our coach told us to fake our tosses if we needed to and that was working. Then the wind stopped, so I risked a toss. Just when I let go, a big gust of wind came through, blowing my flag away from me. Luckily, it didn't fall off stage, but it landed far away from me. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't remember where in the steps we were and had to look to my neighbor to figure out where we were. I hated it! I never once dropped a flag during halftime, when I'm a million yards away from anyone in the stands. But when I'm super close to the crowd, yep, that's when I drop my flag.

I told my BFF who was a majorette who gave me some words of wisdom..."you're still alive, aren't you?" It was embarrassing, but I survived. I just wish I could go back and fake my toss.

First day of college, a bunch of the girls in my dorm decided to basically storm onto campus. We had it all built up - our hottest outfits, perfect hair, some major swag - we were going to get noticed. haha
We made it across the parking lot and were almost to the main campus building - just had to cross a busy street. A couple car fulls of super cute guys stopped so we could cross. Everyone goes and I step off the curb and fall flat on my face. Jumped up quickly to see everyone dying laughing. I scurry across the crosswalk with my head down and trip UP the curb on the other side. I wanted to withdraw right then and there!

I was a kid, 8 or 9, and there was a store having a grand opening. I went there with my mom, aunt and cousins. They were giving all of the kids balloons as we walked into the store. Well me and my cousins decided to inhale the helium so we could sound like donald duck. Well apparently if you inhale too much you can pass out. I inhaled some helium and then I blacked out and woke up on my back in the middle of the isle. Apparently I started running around and knocked over a couple racks of clothes and then fell to the floor and started shaking. Very embarrassing cuz when I woke up there was about 80 people standing around me wondering what was going on. I don't remember any of it.

One of my first jobs started out with a few days of training. At some point the instructor talked about how we'd have pizza for at the conclusion of our training. On the last day, we were taking a "final exam" and when we finished we were allowed to turn the test in and begin our breaks early. I finished, and I decided to just wander into the break room, where I saw a couple pizzas sitting. No one else was in there, and they were fresh pizzas, so I was like, "Oooh! Awesome!" and I grab a piece and start eating.

After sitting there for maybe a minute, the break began for the shift of people working, so the break room began to fill up. Someone who wasn't in my training class came and sat down, and grabbed a piece of pizza. I looked at him kind of funny because I was thinking "hey bud, this is for the trainees!"

Well, he looked back at me really funny - in fact, he looked PISSED. I was perplexed. He said, "what are you doing?" in a tone indicating total disbelief at what he was seeing. I said, "I just finished training and they got us these pizzas..." and he said, "Uhh... me and my friends bought these pizzas."

Immediately, my eyes were like saucers filling with water. My face has probably never been more red. I tried to hold it together and said, "Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I can give you some money." The guy said, "No, it's fine," and shook his head and muttered to himself across the table from me as his other friends began quietly gathering around the pizzas. I was paralyzed and slumped so far down in that seat I felt like a speck - I took a few more bites trying to keep the massive puddles of tears in my eyes then got up when I knew that downpour was imminent, haha.

A lot of "embarrassing" stuff has happened to me and not even phased me... but that? Even now it takes the wind outta me!
