    I was a substitute teacher for awhile and I called several 'pats' he or she and was always wrong. I felt horrible and couldn't learn to address them as 'student's. Honestly high school kids can be so mean :/

    I was sitting ringside at a major dog show, when my nylon folding chair ripped and collapsed. I had exceeded the weight limit for the chair. Luckily, my dog and handler won, so I had a good reason to get to my feet to applaud.

    I worked in a professional office building and I often had to communicate between our client and the technical team via email. My husband emailed me one day saying he was getting out of work early. A guy from TAC emailed me to let me know a part I needed had come in for a customer. I replied to my husbands email and asked him if he wanted to meet me for dinner, and told him I loved him. I replied to the TAC guy to tell him thank you.

    20 minutes later, the guy from TAC calls me, a guy I'd never met before, and asks what time and where I wanted to meet. He wasn't kidding. I got the replies reversed.

    I have 2 for you.

    I was working night shift at walmart, in the furniture section. I had one long flat box left on my pallet. I was standing with the front half of my feet on the pallet but my heels off, balancing like that while pulling on the flap of the box trying to pop the tape that is cross-ways over the box to open it. It wouldn't pop so I reach my arm in to get more leverage and upon doing this, I glance in the box and see an arm! I jump back, lose my balance on my precarious perch and fall back into a candle display. It was a box of mirrors, it was my OWN ARM.


    The other one.. my sister was in the kitchen and was just standing there with the fridge door open. I snuck up behind her silently like a ninja and just grabbed her around the waist and she jumped so hard that she lost her balance and we both started to fall back. Well, her arms are waving trying to find something to grad so she reaches back and grabs my butt cheeks while my arms are doing the same and I end up grabbing her boobs, and I fall back in the garbage can, butt first, on top of her hands, so we are stuck there when my mom walks in the kitchen, sees us there, says nothing, and walks out. We had to rock back and forth until we knocked the can over so we could get up.

    Not very embarasing but today at work I had a tray of appetizers ready onion rings, fried pickles, and wings. I needed to put chips on the buffalo dip so I sat the chips on the ledge and reached up to grab the dip. I split the whole bowl of chips all over thhe tray of apps 365 crumbs cause it was bottom of the bowl so they had ro re cook everything. Right in front of a new girl too lol.

    Walking onto a stage for a concert, I once caught my blouse on a music stand and every button opened...in front of a couple of hundred people. Dec.9, 1975... Not that I remember the details of that day...lol.

    While in high school I dropped a book and as I bent over my pants ripped from knee to knee in the most populated part of school...luckily I had a spare pair in my gym locker...

    College graduation; had just gotten my very expensive diploma; shook hands with the university president and headed down the steps; caught my big flowing sleeve on the railing which pulled me backwards and I tripped in front of 2000+ people and deans of my school of psychology! Yah, that was embarrassing...alot!

    This happened in my organic chemistry lab in college.

    We were making aspirin in the lab that day and one of the ingredients was a type of corosive acid. We were told specifically that if we had a spill on ourselves, we should use the eye wash stand because it provided a high volume of water at a low pressure.

    So I'm stirring my ingredients together in my beaker-I do, in fact, spill some on myself. To prevent any burns, I quickly went to the eye wash stand and looked around. I was confused because I did not see any handle or knob to turn the water on. I looked up and saw a silver handle there...not thinking about what was above me, I pulled the handle. Nothing came out of the eye wash stand...suddenly I looked up and-sure enough-I had pulled the shower handle. I got completely soaked and water ran ALL over the floor. It took me a few seconds to figure out how to turn the water off-meanwhile I was soaked, head to toe.

    My professor came over (trying her best not to laugh at me) and mopped up the water mess.

    People in the class were talking about me the rest of the class period. :(
