I'm sunbathing on the beach when I suddenly see on the distance two people breaking into my car.

I get up and start running towards them. THIEVES! THIEVES! SOMEBODY STOP THEM!

I see them looking at me but they still don't move and are taking something out the car window.

I can't believe it and keep running only to discover it wasn't my car x100000000

I stop, turn around, go back to my towel and keep sunbathing. Didn't even look up again. I was too embarrassed .

This should be fun.

^^ Its so weird that I can clearly hear that exact voice in my head when reading it.

Okay I got a good one.... A two years or so ago I went on a blind date with ths dude, prior we talked on the phone for a few weeks, exchanged pictures, and I googled his ass etc. --(had a few nuts don't ask that's another thread LOL). So anyway we agreed to go out. Well we decided on a Thursday, my choice, because I had a salon appointment on Friday and some work meetings over the weekend.

Getting ready for my date I decided my hair was waaaaay too napptacular to try to do anything with it so I decided to pull out my half wig. Remember I'm a big fan of wigs, weaves, braids, ponytails, extensions, and the like. What can I say... So I went with a human hair half wig, no drawstring but combs in the front and the back (my sistas know what I'm talking about) what most looked my natural hair when relaxed. I twist my hair up and plop the wig on with the combs and secure it with just two bobby pins around my hairline. A cute headband and I'm "ret-to-go"!

I'm NOT planning to let him hit it so choose a cute but not fuck me bra and panty set but everything is smooth and shaved just in case I want him to cop a feel and throw on a cute sundress. Remember I'm a year after a divorce and needing to restablish my hotness.

He shows up in a convertable, I hop in and off we go! We head toward the highway and I ask where we are headed and he says New Haven. Cool!. Well it's been a long time since I wore a damn wig. That shit was tryin' to blow off the moment we hit the highway, but no worries I have my hand on my head holding that thing down just for GP, I didn't thing it was gonna come off but I wanted to be sure. LOL I was as cool as all get out!

We make it to NH and two blocks from Toads Place, where we were going to see a show, we stop at a redlight and when it turned green and he stepped on the gas that shit flew right off my head. Oh-My-LORD!!. Some kinda fucking wind tunnell from hell circulated that thing off my head to the back of his car!! The bobby pins shot off and hit him in the face, he even had a few red marks. He was like WTF just hit my.. You got needles in your hair??!!! And of course my natural instinct was to catch that shit before it took off.

Well I was leaning over to to catch it as it flew back and the breeze lifted my sundress damn near over my head exposing all my juicy goodness from the backside while he's screaming "somethings in my eye it hit my eye". Then he freaks 'cause he has no idea what the fuck is on his windshield. The cars next to us are dying with laughter, and now we are holding up traffic!

Meanwhile The fucking hair floated over the back of the car to the front and ended up on his windshield!! So I'm assed out literally and scrambling for a wig of all things and the damn thing is on his windshild like a wild animal, not to mention my napptacular hair decided this was an opportune time to unravel itself for all the world to see. All he says when he hands me my hair, looking straight ahead NOT making eye contact, is do I need to go somewhere so you can to work it out??? LMFAO

I didn't answer, threw my natural hair in a ponytail, fixed my lipstick which now was embedded on his passenger side headrest and proceeded to the concert. Needless to say we got jokes all night long at the concert about the incident, but I got free drinks too, just on my ass alone...

We laughed about it later and we've been dating ever since...

I know.

The worst thing I've done is, at least that I can remember, slipping on ice when people are watching. It rarely happens to me anymore since I use spikes under my shoes these days, but it's the same damn embarrassment every time - I can't help but go "whooops!" or "Weeee!" like some idiot and everybody looks.

Not really public, but I once was talking to someone on the phone (can't remember if it was an acquaintance or just someone for business) and for some reason when I went to hang up I went into talking to Ron on the phone mode and said "Love ya."

They were probably like.

sorry for your dilemma but I needed that laugh...damn! glad it worked out.

Breaking a pump heel on my way to work. Very shaming.

A few years ago I fell off a bus in the heart of downtown Newark. The bus driver and the riders got a good look, as well as the people lined up on the street. After falling I went into "robot mode", got up and continued to walk to work like nothing happened - all the while thinking "I know I did not just fall off the bus".

As if that was not enough embarrassment for the day as I walked into the building where I work I noticed security gave me a funny look. But I'm still dazed from falling so I just continued upstairs. I went into the ladies room to collect myself and noticed in the full-length mirror that I had dirt all over my pants, hence the look I got from security

A part of me wanted to go back downstairs to explain why the dirt was there and another part of me wanted to cry! I didn't do either. I actually shared my story with the first few co-workers I saw that day and had a good laugh!!! I had to laugh to prevent myself from crying I guess....

-

Yesterday I was walking around with a huge rip in my pants. It wasn't some minor tear, but a very obvious rip. When I got dressed in the morning it wasn't there but when I went to take a shower and undressed I remembered that while shopping in a couple of different stores after I had done some work outdoors, I saw a few people that I knew. There would be one of those that must have seen the rip since I was walking in front of them.

They must think that I'm a bum or something. What did I do? I couldn't do nothing and when I see any of these people again I'm just gonna assume that they didn't see it unless they say something to me which I don't think they would. If they do, I'll probably just laugh it off because I was unaware of the rip and didn't knowingly wear it torn.

OH MY GAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! Wow, I don't think I could have survived that. It's great that you guys are still dating though.

It wasn't public, but whatever.

To keep it brief: I had gotten used to giving my then-wife a gentle pat on the ass when she would be cooking and stuff.

The first time we visited my family as a married couple, a year and a half later, I came upstairs from the basement and my mom was cooking, and well...shit happens.

As soon as it happened I was sort of "WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST DO?!" in my head. But I played it cool and was just like..."What're you cooking?"

about 3 years ago i was in a border's books and music with my husband, when i had to use the restroom. i used a toilet seat cover....fast forward to me walking around borders music for over an hour looking in several sections of the store, to then going in our car and to a starbucks. when inside starbucks my husband tells me, "kim you have a toilet seat cover hanging out of your pants!" i could of died after knowing i had walked around for hours with a toilet seat cover hanging out of my pants flapping in the wind.

Oh God I'm wiping tears these stories are all too funny....

Shouldn't you be in the middle of some hurricane!!?

I think it's great to laugh at oneself and not take things too seriously sometimes (especially with hiliarious incidents that show how clumsy or unattentive we can be).

As for my torn pants, I would have thrown them away but am wearing them to paint the house. And boy I'm thirsty for a soda right now that I'm even GONNA GO TO THE STORE WEARING THESE SAME RIPPED PANTS and paint stained t-shirt. Yesterday I was embarrassed, but today since I'm willingly wearing it, I don't really care!
