    Disappointed in the lack of wardrobe malfunctions in this thread.

    Oh ... almost forgot. Trying to learn to do snatches with a pvc pipe landed on my rear several times. I think it was due to it weighing next to nothing or I'm just a klutz.

    Once when I was younger i was at a store that sold gym equipment and other stuff. I went on the treadmill and went flying across the room.

    Few days ago i was trying one of the pull up type machines. Got on the area for your knees but it went down with me instead of staying at that level and it pushed my shirt up.

    Forgetting instuctor's name....someone whose class I'd been attending for years, chit-chatted with, laughed with, I knew her, she knew me.... Went to introduce her to a new gym member, totally drew a blank. Was pretty red-faced to admit & ask her what her name was again. I was Totally embarrassed. Instructor took it like a pro & in stride.

    My trainer would push me so hard on legs days that one time I threw up during a Squat session.

    Um. Today was pretty awesome. I had off work and did a bunch of yard stuff, then went to gym to stretch and soak in hot tub. Had my head phones on listening to Avenue Q soundtrack. Song "the internet is made for porn" came on and the guy on the mat a few feet away tapped me on the shoulder and said, "I like porn too, but probably not the place to advertise it". OMG. He was super cute too!

    Ripping a long tear up my yoga pants while squatting. It made a horrific sound & I was surrounded by guys. GAW! So embarassing...

    I have about as much grace as a newborn baby deer. I've walked into bars, tripped on the treadmill, my legs have given out after squats but the most embarrassing thing happened on a Saturday when the gym was full - of course. The pull up bar with the standard grip is in the middle of the GD room and I cant reach it without a step stool. Well after finishing my set, I lowered myself back onto the the mini-ladder of death, missed the footing somehow and crashed, loudly mind you, to the floor. To make matters worse, probably 6 people came running over to help me!

    Well we were in the weight room during PE and my freshman year and the weight pins in one of the machines got stuck and when I got it out, 40+ lbs of weight came crashing down on my fingers, amazingly they weren't broken. However, I did break my middle finger halfway through game of volleyball (that I won just by serving btw) and some kid launched it at my face because he was on the losing team and I put my hands up and it hit my finger so hard that it tore off a chunk of the knuckle and now I have a huge lump because my ortho was complete crap

    Was at a resort in Cabo and using the gym. Looked out one of the exit doors and saw a Hot Tub. Stripped down, grabbed a towel and went and got in. Sat there for a few minutes and saw another door open. Hadn't seen it before. It was coming from the girl's workout area. She had a bathing suit on. I was nude. I couldn't get out. As people came and went, it was about 45 minutes before the tub cleared out and I was able to get out and make a run for it.
    I just got a popcorn kernel up my nose. Thanks for the laugh.
