Embarrassing Moments

Oh man do I!

Lets see my daughter was two and went over to her dad's house (we were divorsed at that point). She pulled the fluff out of her stuffed animal and unzipped her pants and put it there and told her father it was her hair like mommy's. Talk about an awkward conversation when he called and started off, "I just want to make you aware so she doesn't do this in public...."

We were at the grocery store and a gentleman almost ran over my daughter turning the corner and said something nice to her and appologized for not seeing her. He stopped about two feet from there to get his item and my daughter turned to me and said loudly, "Mommy, he is nice! We should invite him home to snuggle with us!" (we snuggle up to read books at night, I don't think he got that because he turned and left the isle immediately with not even a smile or getting his item.

Oh I could go on and on, these are my top two.

When I was like 13, my parents had a dinner party for another couple named Richard and Marie...it was a rainy night, and so Richard (nickname Dick) had worn some galoshes. At the end of the night it was no longer raining, and in retrospect, I think my dad might have had a bit to drink. Anyway, our guests were walking out to their car, when my dad noticed the galoshes were still near the front door.

My dad goes out on the front porch and yells at the top of his lungs "DICK! You forgot your rubbers!!!" He was totally oblivious to the double meaning, but my mom gave me a panicked look (probably wondering if I caught the joke) and headed for the kitchen suppressing a laugh. My dad handed me the galoshes and told me to run them out to the guy before they drove away. While I ran out there, totally mortified, my dad yelled it out AGAIN! "Dick! You forgot your RUBBERS!!!" I think he got it that time, cause when I came back in the house he gave me this exasperated 'sorry!' expression. I pretended not to have any idea what was going on, and went upstairs to die.

Hi M.. When I was younger I worked in fine jewelery at JC Penney. One day after my break, I used the ladies room and headed back upstaires to my department.
On the escalator I glanced in the mirrored walls at myself and noticed I had gotten the hem of my skirt caught up in the waistband of my hose!

I had just walked through the credit dpt, the hair salon, the catalog desk, and the men's dpt on a busy Saturday afternoon with my rearend in FULL VIEW! I had hose on but NO UNDERWEAR!

many years ago, in college, I snuck off during a pool party to hook up with a really hot bartender. We fumbled our drunk way into the house and 1st bedroom we found and went passionately into ecstacy. Turns out, it was the master suite and had a wall of sliding glass doors to the pool area. The entire party watched my drunken hook up. That was before the age of sex tapes, so, unfortunately I didnt get a reality show out of it.

I was in my early 20's working in Manhattan, around 1983, I had just been promoted and was pretty impressed with myself. I was 5'8" and about 125 lbs - I worked out, rode my bike and ran alot so I was in really good shape. I was wearing a taupe pinstriped suit and a purple silk blouse - taupe heels (see how much of an impressiong this made on me I recall exactly what I was wearing!). It was about 8 AM and I was walking the 5 blocks between Grand Central Station (where I had just gotten out of the subway) and my office. As I neared my building, I glanced at my reflection in a shop window cuz "I looked that good" <smile>. That's when I realized that my skirt was tucked into my panty hose and my butt was exposed for all of NYC to see. ;o) I had been on the subway for about 20minutes - just walked clear across Grand Central Station and the almost 5 blocks during a very busy time - and not one person thought to tell me - I guess the men were enjoying the view. HAHAHA. I still chuckle about it and have used the story to console countless teenage girls when they've been embaressed. God was right in Proverbs when it says that pride goes just before a fall! (and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've fallen off a curb or stumbled down a few unexpected steps, etc. Too much multi-tasking!

Didn't happen to me but I always think about this when you talk embarrassing moments.
Working at Chuck E Cheese one day there was a lesbian couple making out, and I mean really making out. Many parents came to my boss and complained. "This is a family establishment...blah blah." So after the fifth complaint my boss went over.
"Ladies, this isn't the place for that type of behavior." (he would have been fine..almost if he had stopped there) "This is a family establishment and some people just aren't comfortable with same sex PDA."
To which one of the women stood up and shouted, "I AM A MAN! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A WOMAN!"
Yep, it was a guy, none of us could believe it. My boss just stammered...sorry and basically ran away. Later I heard a co-worker laughing at him and say, "I didn't know a guy as dark as you could turn so red."

ADDED: I just thought of one. One day I was at work talking to a guy named Jeremy. The phone rang and I answered, " Thanks for calling Commercial Federal this is Jeremy...wait no it's not." Jeremy was laughing his butt off.

I also had a co-worker talking to a woman about her daughter. The woman told my co-worker that the ATM only gave her daughter 30 instead of the 40 she requested. This was impossible because the ATM only dispensed twenties. So my co-worker says, "I think she is trying to pull the wool over your eyes." The woman was blind.

Just last night I was dropping my daughter's friend off at her home after a play date.

This is the first time I've met this family. They are Korean, just arrived a couple of months ago, so new to both town and country and classically small in stature. I am tall, Germanic and svelte. Their little 4 year old boy comes out and asks me in Korean, "Are you Korean?" I said no...but I guess he did not believe me so he walked up closer to me, and I'm thinking he couldn't see my face, so he grabbed each of my breasts with both hands, one hand per breast and pushed them apart to look me in the eye. I was standing, his head was below my bust and his hands reach was just perfect. The mom was mortified. I was speechless. We both stood in shock before responding appropriately. Honestly, how would he know what those boobs are (they're 36G's)? His mom is completely flat chested. We laughed all the way home.

My son was about 3 and we went to the grocery store to get some things (including vagisil because I had a horrible yeast infection) and he had been walking beside me. I went to pick him up to put him in the basket so I didn't have to keep looking for him and he screamed out, "no mama don't pick me up, your gina is sore! Here is your mesidene (handing me the vagisil). Nice. Thanks son!

LOL I Like this question!

I'd have to say it was after I had my 2nd baby, we were at her baptism when she was about a week old and had just finished up and were taking pictures when I felt this huge gush of blood. Of course I had a humongo pad on but it was a LOT of blood and I had to hurry out of the church! As I was walking (very quickly) down the aisle I could feel it running down my legs and by the time I got to the bathroom I was leaving a trail on the floor! I hadn't even grabbed my diaper bag on the way to the bathroom so I had to stuff tons of toilet paper in my underwear and then clean up my legs and the floor then go find my bad to get a new pad. I didn't have another pair of underwear so I just had to use my bloody ones that I had on. So then I leave the bathroom to hurry back up to finish pictures since I hadn't even told anyone I was leaving and make it halfway up when (thankfully) a lady stops me and tells me that my skirt is tucked up into my underwear.....nice!
After the pictures, I was visiting with about 4 ladies and felt this huge gush again and was trying to hurry up and finish the conversation so I could rush to the bathroom again but they just kept talking so finally I just said "I've gotta run to the bathroom, I'm about to gush blood all over the place" LOL
Oh! I DO NOT like that memory!

My husband always gets on to me about not having a filter between my brain and my mouth. Usually when I do put my foot in my mouth its not so bad and I can dig myself out. However, when I was first dating my hubby one of his friends flew in from out of town. The three of us were at dinner and the friend was gushing about his new fiance that we had never met. He goes on to tell us that she was a contestant on the Swan(a makeover show) and had had ALOT of work done. Finally he pulls out a picture and upon glancing at it I blurt out " oh my how bad did she look before?" My now hubby was mortified as was I after I said it. Needless to say we were not invited to the wedding.

I was in a swim class at college. The instruction for the week was life saving. One of the things we had to do was to pull someone out of the pool. We'd grab them by the wrists and lift them out of the water and place them waist and up on the side of the pool with their legs and feet in the pool.

I had been working with a BIG athelete, but he was absent, so they assigned me to a slim girl. I don't know if it was an old bikini or she had lost weight, but I pulled her up with the same vigor I had had to use with the BIG athelete. She really came up and out of the water, but her bikini bottoms didn't. Because I had her by the wrists she couldn't let go. I was looking at my instructor to get the ok that I had passed and didn't notice she was bottomless until she said "LET GO OF ME ! ! !" Then I looked at her and let go. She slipped back into the water and pulled up her bottoms. She was 7 shades of red. She got out of the pool, left the class and I never saw her again. I wish I had had the chance to apologize.

Thanks for the question. I've enjoyed reading the answers.

Good luck to you and yours.

Um, I fall down a lot. I'm just a huge klutz, so it's normal for me to bump a shoulder into a wall or trip going up the stairs, but I've been known to fall down several steps & land on my hands & knees at the bottom. Hell, I slipped on a wet trash can lid when I was 21 years old, broke my ankle & needed surgery! If that's not embarrassing, I don't know what is!

Oh man, where to begin... from the 'oh congrats! how far along are you?!' to someone who isn't pregnant, to 'I like the way you highlighted your tips!' to my mom's boss... who informed me it's natural gray hair. Oops. Insert foot in mouth please. There are also 2 sets of members of our boatclub I mix up ALL THE TIME, and these are guys I've known for 4 years... Warren & Wade, Pat & Mark... it's a wonder these guys even bother speaking to me anymore ;) I'm terrible with names! I'll run into people from high school and they'll call me by my full name, while I'm left there saying 'Oh hey!.... You!!'

I've also, like you, purchased an array of 'embarrassing' items, only to find out the only cashier working is someone I've known for years. Nice.

On the flip side, I used to work in a pharmacy, and some of the regular customers were people I've known forever... picking up their herpes or antipsychotic medications. NICE.

Two weeks ago I went to lunch with my husband, kids and MIL. We had just sat down and ordered our drinks and my shirt was tucked under me a bit so I yanked on it to give me some slack and I must have yanked on it pretty hard as I flashed my husband and MIL who were sitting straight across from me! Nice.

When I was in labor with our first born the anesthesiologist came in to give me my epidural. She let us know that she had a student working with her and that he would be in shortly to get me started. The studend walked in and introduced himself to me and then turned to my husband and said, "and you must be the father." My husband, being the "funny" guy that he thinks he is, didn't miss a beat and said, "we're not sure yet. I'll let you know in a little bit." I was mortified! Thankfully, my husband saw how furious I was and quickly apologized to the guy, told him that he is indeed the father, and excused himself for a while so I could cool down. Looking back now, it is funny when I think about the expression on the guy's face when my husband said that, but at the time, I was totally embarrassed!

We had Easter dinner at my SIL's house this year and it was actually a really nice afternoon complete with the egg hunt and a nice dinner. We were all dressed-up in our Sunday best (including my potty-training son) and the kids were playing downstairs (no potty) when my son yells "I have to go potty!" so scooped him up and ran upstairs... while he tinkled down the front of my dress.

Needless to say, my in-laws and husband thought this was hilarious, as did the drycleaner who asked what the stain was. I brought a change of clothes for him, but not me!

My husband & I went out for drinks with some friends. I had a few too many. Someone decided afterwards that we should go to mcdonalds on the way home. While we were in the drivethru ordering, I got out of the backseat, and went up to the speaker box and started yelling Hello..you at the mcdonalds can you hear me?! Apparently I made quite a scene, and everyone was laughing my husband has never let me live that one down. Everytime we go to mcdonalds he asks me if I can keep quiet while he orders.

Back a few years ago everyone was wearing buns with fake hair around them. I had one too, and I wore it to work.

Well, one of the pins in my bun was poking my head, so I took off the rubber band with the fake hair around it and set it on my desk. Then I searched for the pin that was sticking me.

My male boss came up behind me and asked me to look at something. I put my arm down and swiveled my chair around. As I did so, the blob of fake hair fell into my lap and I ended up turning around with a big curly mass of hair on my crotch! My boss did a double take, and I was mortified. Here I was trying to look all professional! Luckily he just laughed, and now I can look back and laugh too!

On Christmas day----two years ago, I put on a very old pair of a velvet-type pair of pants. I was on the floor ---with the whole family watching ----while I gathered up the mess of paper, bows, etc. I was directly in front of my son-in-law, and saw two of my grown daughters looking at me while talking and laughing. I began to feel cold air in my seat area, and quickly got up. My son-in-law said: " I just got a full view of your leopard undies". I backed out of the room to find that the seam in my seat area had torn. We still talk about that every Christmas!

Well it didn't happen directly to me but when I had just gotten married I was working full-time but my parents home was close enough that I could go over there for lunch. Well that day something just didn't agree with me and my dad happened to be there when I came running through the door to the restroom. He knocked on the door to make sure I was okay and I told him I was having you know ....the runs. Well -lol! I guess him and my mom had talked and she tried to call me and started in "Hey how are you?" and the reply "fine" then my mom "Oh well your dad had said you had run through the house to the bathroom today and had the runs". Then the response "um, mam I think you have the wrong number" and hung up! LOL!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! It was hilarious!
Oh and another one.....
My family had gone on vacation. It was me, my sister, my parents, and my Grandparents. We decided that we would stop into baskin robbins to get an icecream. Well I had chose a sugar cone with whatever flavor it was and went to take my first lick and plop it went to the ground. My mom saw the whole thing and said "OH CINDY" as she bent over to pick up/clean up my icecream from the floor and her icecream went plop beside mine. The guy at the counter gave us both a new icecream because we gave him such a laugh! hahaha! I have so many more stories but these were probably the best two that I could remember right now-hahahaha! This was fun!
