Embarrassing moments

**cassiesmom** · 02-20-2007, 04:20 PM

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.

Hmmm I've had several mortifying experiences but I think I must have blocked out the worst(as many have mentioned)

I do remember a few though. Last night my family and I went out to se Music and Lyrics and we had a good time and everything.... dun dun dun until we decided to have a nice, normal dinner at Island's. Have any of you ever heard fo those crazy, persnickety customers? That's my mom

I had a bad feeling when we went in to the place and I instantly remembered why. Everything was fine for a while until my mom realized her burger wasn't the tiniest bit right. By this time my sister and I were pleading with my dad to get my mom to shut up and cool off. Events lead to events, and soon the mangaer popped up and my sister and I practically died under the table(yes, we were trying to hide, didn't work unfortunately). My mom went off for about 5 minutes and kept repeating the same thing over and over again. Finally the manager was free and I turned to the manager and said sorry in the most horrified voice ever.

I'll think of more embarassing moments of course, I have too many, and I'll post them. For now, just hope you don't get my mom as a customer... she has a reputation in several restaurants

Yesterday I was walking into school and I tripped on my pants and fell flat on my face. Everyone was just staring at me. I got a mouth full of grass. And if that wasn't bad enough, I got onto the sidewalk and fell there too. I skinned my knee and ripped my pants ALL THE WAY up one side and on my knee. And my legs weren't shaved so everyone saw hairy legs.

1969
I was in grade 11 - lunch hour
I was very unpopular but this one day I had a new dress on and felt "pretty" for the first time
I went to the bathroom
After washing my hands I checked my dress, and walked out.
I strutted all the way down the hall to my locker
It was then that I suddenly realized that my dress was stuck in my pantyhose at the back.

The one that instantly comes to mind is the story of Wild Island...

Wild Island is a water slide park in Reno. One summer in high school, My friend convinced me to go spend a day at this place, dispite my protests. After dumping people off of rafts in the lazy river pool (this is relevant to the story as I think it was THIS that gave me bad karma) I decided to try one of the more exotic slides. In line, I was kind of staring at the hunky life guard and after my turn I went to walk past him to get in line again. I slipped oh so gracefully on the wet concrete and landed flat on my butt right as I passed.

He of course checked if I was ok, and helped me up but I was sooo embarased. I hid from that slide the rest of the day.

This reminds me of someone else's most embarrassing moment! Many years ago we were visiting a congregation one Sunday morning in another town. As we stood to sing I noticed a teenage girl slap my dad on his bum. I thought it was odd. After the meeting, the young girl's father came up to my dad to apologize to him. It seems that she thought that my dad was her dad! My dad was delivering the Bible discourse that morning. The girl had kept her head down the entire time! My thought has always been, why would she have been slapping her dad in the first place? That's something that I would never have thought of doing to my dad...ever, then or now! LOL

It wasn't like that but very inappropriate... (unintentionally of course).

Kind of long but in the end it all ties toghether.

Part 1:
The day before yesterday. I was looking at my bosses fish tank and made a comment to my boss (man) on how much the fish have grown and that they were big enough to eat. I was kidding of course and that was it. It was early in the morning and my co-worker hadn't gotten to the office yet.

Part 2: The day after (yesterday).
A co-worker and I were talking about embarrassing drs. appointments in general (we were alone in the office) and I remembered an episode in which a FORMER supervisor of mine of a different company was looking for a particular drs. office. He was thinking out loud and said 'I wonder where blabla clinic is'.
I knew where the place he was talking about was so I gave him directions. (It was a place for men to get snipped - don't ask how I know about it. I just did). He didn't know that anyone in the office knew what the place was so he got very red and embarrassed. Anyway, as I was telling this story to my co-worker yesterday my bosses start to walk in (husband and wife team). The husband was still in the hallway when the wife walked in. To not stop talking as soon as they walked in, I continued with my story and proceeded to tell my lady boss what I was talking about. I then presumed that the male boss heard what I said too since the door was open and the walls are so thin. I was already unconfortable to relay what we were talking about... anyway...

Part 3: Fast forward about 30 minutes later...
My bosses get settled and my male boss (talking to my co-worker) says 'hey, did you know that Carmen wants to fillet my fish?' I was distracted and forgot about what I had said about his fish tank the day before. I thought he was referring to the snip snip story (which he didn't overhear afterall).
I then stood up and said, OH No Mr. Bla bla, I wasn't talking about you. It was a former boss who got the snip. Then everyone started laughing... and I realized he was talking about the fish, not his fish....

UGH! So embarrassing.... I couldn't look at anyone in the eye for the rest of the day. My lady boss is a bit of a prude so I know she was unconfortable with what was said. Fortunately I have the day off today but I hope I can go to work on Monday without blushing again.

Pretty bad huh?

I have had many embarrassing moments in my lifetime but this is one of the recent one. We were on a white water rafting trip on the Ocoee River in Eastern Tennessee. We had already been on a very exciting trip going through many drop offs and rapids that had adrenaline pumping bigtime. We were coming up on one of the last big drop offs when the helmsman ask “ who wants to ride the bull”. I had know idea what he was referring to but instinctively my hand flew up, because I am a chronic volunteer

I was suppose to sit on the bow of the raft as we went over the last big drop off. I was sitting there legs over the front of the bow and holding onto some ropes that were attached. When the moment came and the bow dropped off the fall, I was met by this wall of water that hit me in the chest and then I was airborne. When all the water settled i was laying in a girls lap in the back of the raft belly down. Everyone got a big laugh as I was fumbling trying to get out of her lap and back to my place with the raft churning.

I know that it took much less that 8 seconds for that bull to throw me but it seem like an eternity for me to get out that girls lap.
