Embarrassing moments

[catnapper]

This is one of my favorites, and I am sure I shared this here before, but here goes:

When hubby and I were first dating, I needed new bras. Not anything frilly to show off to anyone, purely functional. We decided to go over to the outlet thats down the street together with the kids. That tells you just how exciting the bras were that I had in mind LOL.

So we go to the outlet that is one HUGE floor of nothing but underwear all jumbled together, so we split up looking for my size. I showed everyone the style I had in mind and send everyone off to find that style in the right size. I remember it was a busy Saturday. The store was crowded. About 10 minutes into the hunt, I was on one end of the store, hubby in the middle with all 3 kids on the other end. I suddenly heard my 14 year old step son scream across the floor, "Hey Kim! Is this one big enough?!" while he held up a bra that must have been 50FFF. Everyone in the store turned to look at my stepson to see what he held up, and then turned to look at me turning 15 shades of red, then to hubby who was basically laughing so hard that he was choking. Of course the whole store was also giggling.

I have many other moments of utter embarassment but I too must have blocked them out because I can't remember them. The closest thing I can think of is last week I announced that I am a klutz and proceeded to trip over an ottoman in Dick Van Dyke fashion.

The last embarrassing moment for me was yesterday. Slipped and fell
off the frount porch while trying to shovel the steps. I landed face first in
pile of snow. (completely face down in the stuff) Got up with snow in my
hair, face, clothes, everywhere. I must have looked like quite a sight.

Nohting injured but my pride.

For me: Falling down the grand stairs in the foyer in my company's home office...ending with my legs heading up the stairs and my skirt up by my face.

For my co-worker: When I spotted her walking down the office hallway with toilet paper coming out the back of her pants, trailing down the floor. OMG! (She's lucky it was me that spotted her first because I wouldn't tell anyone in the office...just my PT friends. )

This early summer, i got in my truck to go and see Hubby at work, I drove past big construction crew, got all the way into town, was 2 blocks from hubbys work, when a Police car pulls me over! The officer comes over to the window, and trying hard to hide a smile says "Ma'm why are you dragging a garden hose?" I just stared at him, confused??? So I got out f the truck, and sure enough, dragging behnd was our garden hose!! Unfortunately, it had been attached to the spicket on the house, so By the time I got home, my whole basement was flooded!! I ripped the spicket right out of the house, and busted some pipes! Needless to say hubby got a very panicked Phone call!! We had over 4 inches of water in the basement! Thank god the cop pulled me over when he did, which was only 10 mins from the house, but had the Construction crew said something as I went by I would have only been 1 minute from the house, and wouldnt have had so much Damage! Darn Construction workers!!

The very first time my family was trying out the video camera we decided to go out in the yard and get some videos of Jenny (For you guys.. only I still haven't uploaded them) of course... This is winter in canada and it was very icy... My parents kept slipping and sliding everywhere... I guess my 11 years of ballet were paying off, because I was out in running shoes not slipping a bit. I kept bragging, anytime anyone would slip even the tiniest bit I would say "How can you be slipping?! It's not even slippery!" I must have said that 20 or so times. Grinning the whole time. Both my parents slipped about 20 times... but never fell.

Finally we arrived at our destination... The nice open fieldy-parts. We walked to the middle (everyone else still slipping and me still bragging about my balence) of the field and started taping Jenny as she ran artound on the ice at about 40mph. To make a long story short... halfway through the tape Jenny slipped on the ice and I turned around to look at her and- you guessed it- I slipped. My leg fell right out from under me and I has flat on the ice. My mom-without missing a beat said "Good thing it isn't slippery!"

The most embarassing part was I have the whole thing on camera!!! (my mom thinks we should send it to americas funniest home videos... Does anyone know if they accept canadian videos? )

Lol, wow, interesting stories everyone!!

I haven't had anything too dramatic happen to me lately that I can remember. About 2 weeks ago, I was walking up the steps in the gym at our school to go sit with my boyfriend and good friend Matt. I had just got done with my basketball game, and had my dress clothes on because there was a dance afterwards. I had flip flops on, and when I was taking a step they got caught on the last one. I fell right on my face and landed with a big crash. A lot of people looked, but hardly anyone laughed, well, except for my boyfriend and Matt. I was so embarrased. Some of my other friends who were sitting on the opposite side of the gym came over to see if I was ok, turns out they saw the whole thing too...

oh... I just thought of something that happened more recentally-and much more embarassing- than the last tory. (and WAY more painful!!!)

We were playing floor hockey in gym... and I was running a bit faster then is probably advised for indoor sports... and two people (who didn't know how to play hockey... probably why this whole thing happened) stuck their sticks out right in front of me to try and steal the puck. And so I tripped over the three sticks that got caught on each other. I was MUCH closer to the wall then one should be when falling... and so, I fell and hit my head VERY forcefully on the wall. I had a concussion and everyone ran to see if I was okay when I blacked out... After wards I felt soooooooo stupid... Imagine... hitting your head on a concrete wall... doh! :O

I was actually really angry... because my friend told me guys were saying behind my back that they hoped I had brain damage because it'd make me less smart.

Oh yeah, and then you got water everywhere and Hillary and I were trying to clean it up. Lol.


An embarrasing moment for me would have to be when I went skating the other day. There were hockey nets out during a public skate, and I was skating backwards around a corner, and I tripped on the corner of the hockey net, grabbed on to the net part, got my hand trapped in it, and my butt was soaked with water (the zamboni just went over it). I left the rink after that.

Another one was when I went fishing a couple years ago. I stepped out onto a large rock. I didn't realize it was really slippery, so I stayed on. I cast my line and then I slipped and fell right into the river. We didn't have any towels so I had to take the long car ride home soaking wet.

We were rehersing for the Christmas Concert at my school a few years ago. I was singing, then a guy beside me starts to pick off this huge scab on his hand and it starts bleeding like crazy. I fainted on stage in front of all the other people in the choir and all the teachers.

There were these girls in my class a couple years ago who couldn't keep secrets at all. I thought I could trust one of them, so I told her the guy who I liked. Big mistake. She went and told all the other girls AND the friends of the guy I liked, so then they told him too. I didn't want him to know, or anyone else. I haven't told any of my other secrets to her since.

Ah, jealousy's a fickle thing, Michelle. Just think, these poor, braindead people have nothing to be superior to, and the only way to bring a little satisfaction into their miserable lives is to bring other's down with them. How very sad.

As I'm sure I've mentioned to someone before on PT:

These idiots are just a blot on the beautiful landscape of your life!

LOL. I have a good one.

My brother and his family were moving and we were all over there to help. family, friends, co workers etc etc. it was hot that day but it started out chilly in the morning. I put tear away pants on and by mid afternoon I had them undone up to my knees.

After we got everything moved over we had a huge pile of boxes to break down. My mom started picking away at the tape and slowly breaking down each box.... it was driving me crazy LOL I like to do things the fastest way possible... even if it's the wrong way LOL. So of course in front of everyone I loudly exclaim "that's going to take forever the way you are doing it. let me show you a faster way." I proceeded to put the box on the ground taped side up. I was going to stomp through the tape.

Little did I know my other foot was standing on the pant leg of the leg I was going to use to do that stomping. I lifted up my leg and heard "snap snap snap snap" and my pants fell to the ground. there I was standing in nothing but my underwear with my pants around my ankles. I was in shock. I stood there for a few seconds and didn't move. finally I snapped out of it.... picked up my pants and ran in the house. I was so embarrassed. i was laughing so hard I was crying LOL.

My mom was laughing so hard she had to run to the bathroom because she was afraid she was going to pee her pants. Everyone laughed for like 20 minutes uncontrollably. the laughter finally subsided and I stepped back out into the yard and the laughter broke out again.

I went into work the following monday onlly to hear all my co workers and bosses giving me cat calls and and singing "da da da dun da da" and handing me boxes to break down. LOL

My most embrassing moment happened about six years ago. My friend Fazey and I had gone to high school together and have been friends for over 30 years. I was attending her daughter's graduation party when this happened. Fazey married a dairy farmer and lives in an old farm house in the courtry. The party was mostly held outdoors on picnic tables. I came by myself and I was wearing a blue paintsuit. I was sitting on a picnic table talking to a couple when a woman came over and started to sit down next to me with her plate of food, so being the polite person I am I scooted over. WELL, I now had a ton of splinters in my butt from the picnic table. I jumped up and at first had no idea what to do. Fazey was busy with all the guests, I had a 40 minute drive home, I couldn't sit down because of the splinters. I walked around a bit, trying to decide what to do. Finally our mutual friend arrived, there was Holly, another high school friend. Thank you God. I pulled her aside and told her what happened, she was laughing so hard the tears where rolling down her eyes. We went inside into the only bathroom in this house. I pulled my pants and panties down while Holly found a tweezer and for the next 15 minutes pulled the splinters out of my butt. Needless to say we were laughing so hard and telling jokes and after a bit people where knocking on the door, wondering what was going on in there and needing to use the bathroom. You know you have a good friend when they pull splinters out of your butt, that is all I can say.

I just realized both of my embarrassing stories involve the washroom...

I went with my best friend to Walt Disney World for her birthday. We go to a nice restaurant for birthday dinner. It's the end of the meal and I go to the ladies' room before we return to the hotel. Some of you might remember broomstick skirts, I had one with a drawstring waist that had little metal beads on it that jingled as I walked. Anyhow, I step out of the washroom with the hem of my skirt (it's a broomstick skirt - all those tiny little pleats - we're talking yards of fabric here) and my slip caught in the elastic waist band of my underwear. I get past maybe 4 or 5 tables when my friend shoves me back into the ladies' room as fast as she can. Unfortunately, everyone at those 4 or 5 tables saw my embarrassing blunder.

It's New Year's Eve, my junior year of college so we are talking mid '80s, big hair and big shoulder pads, 20+ years ago already. I'm with my two best friends at the time, we'd been hanging out at my house playing Monopoly and watching Dick Clark on TV. After midnight we decide to go get a quick drink since it is New Year's Eve, right? We order and I go to the ladies' room. Instead of being marked men/women the doors have those little figure signs on them - now, you have to believe me when I tell you I had not been drinking at all - I start to push open the men's room door by accident and even before I can process what I've done this guy goes, "Uh, honey, you belong on the other side." I was absolutely, 100% sober! My two girlfriends kept an eye out for the guy while I tried to hide my face.
