HEY!!! Admit it! We all have had those special moments, you know the ones where you would just like to crawl under rock! Let's hear some!

Tell me what was one of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to you, recently!!!

Today I had to stay late and set up refreshments and food for Drug Court graduates. We have Drug Court at 5:30 pm and after graduation we have cake and punch and some other food and talk with the people that have come through the program successfully. It is a good deal and it provides alot of people with a second chance and an opportunity to start over again. The is about a 30% success rate and the other 70% usually go on to re-offend and end up in prison.

Anyway I ran back to the pre-trial break room to get some ice for the punch I made and to pick up the rest of the files for the docket and I was in a hurry with my hands full!

This morning I got dressed and I had no stockings, so I put on a pair of thigh highs that I never wear but were good enough! I was running for the other side of the building before session began and the damn things started slipping! By the time I got to the courtroom they were down! The only person who really saw was the a woman paralegal I work with and she would never say anything, but I could tell she was amused! Oh! it seems like this kind of stuff happens to me quite alot! Am I a disaster??

I had to get the hell out of there and on the way home, I bent down to move something from the floor board that was rolling around (coffee cup) and I slipped off the gas peddle and and nearly crashed into the back of a Lexus!! I have had one of those days with nothing but close calls and humiliation!! I hope it is done with for awhile.

I am a mess!

The most embarrassing thing that happened to me? There has been so many!!!

I would have to say the most embarrassing thing was when my car broke down early in the morning as I was taking my sister to work at 5:30 am and I was still in my nightgown!!! I always dress from now on when I leave the house! Some guy was nice enough to give me a ride back home and help me with my cart!

Another time and this was not funny, is when my former boyfiend needed a ride to the emergency room for on of his many drunken injuries and the nurse wanted to take x-rays and told him to remove his pants and he said "why? are you going to give me a blow job!" I looked at her and was so humiliated I told her I was so sorry and then I walked out! there were so many incidences like that but that one and stood out because of the look on the ladies face!

OK...embarrassing moment this morning...I worked an extra shift (for extra Christmas cash). I worked on one unit (not mine) for the first 4 hours and then a different unit for the next 8. I was extremely busy and barely had a chance to pee...in my haste and fuzzy-brained state (after working all night), I go get my coat and prepare to leave. I reach into the left pocket and there is nothing in it! I think to myself, 'someone stole the junk out of my pocket? Weird!' I reach into the other pocket...and pull out the gloves. They are not mine! I take the coat off and inspect it more closely...SHIET...IT isn't mine either...I am the damn thief! LOL! I returned it sheepishly...
I had left mine on the unit I was at first!! They were exactly alike...

LOL...good stories.

Okay, well let's see, I do a lot of tripping, especially on those bastard speed bumps in parking lots...like I'm supposed to be able to see bright yellow? lol. I choke a lot, in fact choking runs in my family. The embarrassing part is that I mostly choke on supposedly harmless substances like water and pepsi and orange juice and the like. hehe...I am notorious for running into chairs and getting the hiccups when I laugh really hard...like, monterous hiccups...oh and this has happened several times: getting my shirt caught in a door and then getting stuck. I have more, I'll come back later 😛

Some more: I've also gotten my shirt caught inside kitchen drawers, in junior high at a choir concert I started singing the alto part in "Danny Boy" when I was a soprano...that was embarrassing because it was quite obvious seeing as how the altos and sopranos were separated on the bleachers into two distinct groups. lol. What. I really liked that song. hehehe. Um, I used to fall off the bed a lot in the middle of the night, but that stopped a few years ago...I was once listening to the radio, singing along (luckily all by myself) to that song "Jet Airliner" by the Steve Miller Band, and lo and behold, I suddenly discover that in fact the lyrics go, "big ol' jet airliner/don't carry me too far away"...NOT: "hey don't pull that line off/dum dum dum dum dum dee da day". 😛

Phoenix! Funny stuff! Now that you mention it...I trip over those damn speed bumps too! I choke on water. I am dangerous when laughing and liquid is involved...it could come out my nose! Song lyrics...in the song Purple Haze, he sings 'excuse me while I kiss the sky'. I had a friend who thought it was, 'excuse me while I kiss this guy!' LOL!
But, phoenix, the shirt thing...are you wearing too large a size? How do you manage to get it caught?! Don't get me wrong...very funny stuff!!

Star, yay, I have met a fellow speed bump tripper! LOL. And the purple haze thing, you know that's like the most commonly misheard lyric? Tell your friend not to worry, he/she's not alone, it's common. lol.

Now, about the shirt problems. I think it is a combination of a couple things...one, I am often in a hurry when going through doors and I shut the thing behind me so fast that it gets caught. Same thing with closing my shirt inside drawers...I never look first, and then when I try to walk off I'm like...what the h e l l is the problem here, oh damnit...I'm caught in the drawer. lol. Here's something funny, one time my dad was getting a newspaper out of one of those machines, and his shirt got stuck inside the door thingy, and he couldn't get out, and he was all hunched over laughing, and me an my mom were sitting in the car laughing at him, and what made it even funnier, was we didn't have another quarter or whatever it costs to get the door open again so he had to ask this stranger woman who also laughed...LOL. My sides hurt after that one.

Here's a really embarrassing one. My sophomore year, I had a crush on this guy who was in a few of my classes and was actually a friend of mine (more like an aquaintance) who I just happened to run into during the lunch hour at the mall. At the time I had just gotten braces, you know, and they're weird until you get used to them. I was with a close girlfriend of mine at the time. Well anyway, I discreetly applied some lipstick before making my presence known to him. He was finished with his lunch and he was like, "come outside with me, I want to smoke". Okay, so I follow him outside. We have a lovely conversation, nothing seems out of the ordinary, of course I'm trying (probably unsuccessfully) to hide the fact that I'm totally jonesing for him, and my girl friend Barabara is sort of hanging out in the background while we talk...and when Barbara and I get in the car to go back to school, she starts giggling and tells me that I have a glob of lipstick on my braces. Oh my god, I wanted to cry. lol. I was like, "you had better have just NOW noticed that!" and she said she did...to this day I don't know if I believe her. lol. I wonder still if that entire time I was talking to him he was thinking, what is that thing on her tooth? hehehe, oh well, I got over my crush on him pretty fast, he ended being this dropout/weirdo/creepy guy...

Ok guys, i have been wracking my brain for weeks on this topic and i have finally remembered something that is SO embarrassing that it's not even funny. Actually, it IS funny and im sure it will provide you all with a laugh 🙂

I went to a bar one night and, as a consequence of watching an almost devestating accident at work, proceeded to get very drunk (you know when you drink as a result of nervous energy?). Anyway, there was a girl there that i knew was interested in me and i thought 'why the hell not, ill go home with her'. Of course, i kept drinking and eventually found my way back to her house (with her). Got into bed, started to ... you know what... and all of a sudden i felt tragically... Ill. I thought, OMG, i am going to be sick...! I can't begin to explain how sick i felt, and it kept getting worse. When it came to the crunch of actually going through with the act, i thought 'i cant take this anymore', excused myself and made a lunge for the bedroom window, out of which I proceeded to eliminate every drop of alcohol I had consumed that night (and more)! I knew it was an embarrassing situation but i couldn't help myself; death would have been better than the way i felt (illness wise). After my display of pleasantries, i proceeded to get back into bed with her and fell asleep. In the morning, she got up and i stayed in bed. Basically, i still couldn't move, as i had given myself alcohol poisoning. Eventaully i got up and went home, where i proceeded to regurgitate all day long. I think she told all of her friends but there was nothing i could do about it, i just had to swallow my pride and apologise to her. The thing is, is that i work in a kind of public place and i know a lot of people (or should i say, a lot of people know me but i dont really know them) which made it worse. There was nothing i could do accept take it on the chin.

Anyway guys, i just wanted to make your day and hopefully some of you will actually laugh out loud at this because i surely did!

I remember in school I think it was the 6th grade? I had a guitar recital with a few others in front of an large audience and it was in the evening so everyones parents were there. We had practices the songs a hundred times and was fine. That night we started playing and nobody would sing the song, my teacher who was directing had to start it and then we took off. But it was rather embarassing for what felt like a week up there on the stage!
