What's an embarrassing moment that you've recently suffered?


I just had one;

Went out for drinks with friends. Just as I placed my dinner order, I got a "low funds alert" notice on my phone from the bank. I logged on thinking that something was wrong...but turns out that I had miscalculated the payment date on my car insurance so now I have $7 in my account.

The look on my face must've said it all because they were like "What's wrong? Did something happen?" So I had to explain what happened and asked them to spot me.



How utterly embarrassing.


What about YOU?

My life has been one big long train of mortifying events.

I am beyond caring at this point.

What about YOU?

If your bank offers Debit Card overdraft protection you should sign up for it....It's similar to the standard Checking account overdraft protection.....If you don't have the funds for Debit card purchases like drinks, dinner, utilities, whatever, the Bank will approve the Debit card purchase providing you have not reached the Maximum allowed overdraft limit....There's a $20 - $35 fee..It should not be abused but it's a life saver if you're in a situation where you need emeregency money, especially if there's no one that can loan you cash.....

I pretty much haven't had any recent embarrassing moments but i got a bunch from the past, from when i was a heavy partier...Like the time that i woke up in a park, in San Francisco, with my pants down to my knees(it's not what some of y'all might think ). Or the time that i ended up in SF General Hospital, strapped to a gurney, while wearing some bright ass yellow socks (and just one shoe). And having a bunch of people staring at me.



As y'all can see, i gave no fuks.



I'll comment further, later...

I once gave a talk to a large group of people, most of whom were cattlemen. I, obviously, am not.

I opened with a joke about some bulls that were going to have to share their herd of cows with a new bull who shows up. I'll post it in a joke thread but the point of the joke was how the current bulls were going to prove to the new bull what great love-making studs they were.

For some reason though, I changed all references to "bull" and said "steer" instead. So the joke was about how horny and proficient at cow-love-making this group of steers was.

After I finished my speech, one guy said, "I guess you didn't know that a steer is a castrated bull".

No, I did NOT! But I do now!

PJ knows this story already...

I was nervous very nervous about meeting my future in-laws... since everyone was drinking tequila I decided (stupid me) to match my husband's family shot for shot. I remember little but I was told, I ended up on my hands and knees chasing a bull terrier puppy( named Che) around my in-laws living room.

I was twenty, its important you know this...

I was dating a man and he worked in steel mill. We'll anyway it wasn't uncommon for the mills to call you in on a moment notice in those days. Me and this guy were suppose to be going to night club to see some band. He calls me 20 minutes before he was to pick me up.... to say he had to go to work. For some crazy-ass reasons, I didn't believe him. I got in my car went to his house (saw his car in the drive) and banged on his door. An elderly white man answered the door the door. I realize I was 3 blocks off and the black Old's I thought I saw, was this old man's black Chrysler.

Just a thought Ren, perhaps use your credit card?

The only one that stands out as truly embarrassing was at my first job I smacked my boss in the junk.

I didn't know he was behind me and I turned real quick around and my hand smacked his junk. We were both embarrassed beyond belief. I don't think we talked to each other for the rest of the day.

I'm not sure if this should embarrass me or not, but I just got a call from a cousin, informing me that my nephew and his wife had their first child. He told me the name.

I got the first name, and I got the last name, but I had to ask him to repeat the middle name.

Danger.

The kid's middle name is actually "Danger".

At least his first name wasn't Carlos.

That poor kid is in for a lifetime of "Danger is my middle name!" jokes.

When I hang out with friends I bring the credit and debit card, plus at least $25 cash because you never know.



Ok, here's mine.

Back in the olden days in my twenties, I was part of a local modern dance group. We were rehearsing for a talent show and I'd missed the last two rehearsals, thinking I had the routine down.

FF to the day of the show and our teacher let me go onstage because two girls didn't show up. Unbeknownst to me, she'd added another part to the routine that I hadn't learned. I didn't realize until we were onstage in the middle of the dance that I had no clue how the routine ended.

At that point I just walked off the stage and was never heard from again.

Mine wasn't recent, but it was the most embarrassed I'd ever been. I was 12. A guy I liked was visiting me, along with his brother. They lived up the road from me. Back then, us young ladies would wear what we called tube tops. The worst fashion invention ever. EVER! My 5 year old sister comes up, as I'm talking to this guy that I really liked and his brother, grabbed my tube top and pulled it down. I've never forgiven her. And I've never let her forget.

With you being so young, that's a tough one. The incidents that happen when were young, are the one's that can be hard to completely forget.

When i was in elementary school(5th grade), our class went on a field trip to a skating rink. Me being into graffiti and such, i decided to graffiti up one of the bathroom stalls of the building. Well, since we were the only people at the rink, and since i wrote my name along with the graffiti, the rink staff(and the teachers) eventually found out that it was me who committed the deed. And as a result, they made the whole class leave the premises. And that effectively ended our field trip....So, basically i ruined the field trip of 20 or 30 of my classmates...And they were pissed. Keep in mind that the school was in a small town, and the skating rink was about 30 miles away(in a much bigger city), so the trip was a big deal.

It was pretty hard(and embarrassing) having the majority of my classmates mad a me...

And to be quite honest. I don't think i ever completely got over that incident. Of course i very rarely think about it, but...



So, i do understand...

Well, I have this friend

and she told me that one time she went into a government building with her purse/travel bag, not realizing that it would be searched and when they did tell her that they needed to search her bag she was afraid to turn around and just leave because she thought they would suspect she was carrying something illegal in her bag so she let them search it, and she just looked at the ceiling and pretended not to notice when they found her battery operated phallic shaped toys.

More than one?!?! LOL.

I cannot top that, or even approach it. My only embarrassing government story happened in June 1995 - about 2 months after the bombing of rhe federal building in Oklahoma City.

We were beginning a gigantic trial in federal court and as the corporate representative, I had to delive the exhibits. We had about 100 boxes of documents, crammed into my Suburban. Which was black, and all the windows were tinted black, too.

I scored a great parking right in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Houston and went inside to arrange box transport. When I came back outside, my Suburban was surrounded by federal marshalls. Turned out I'd parked in a U. S. Marshall parking area and I did NOT have the proper parking pass. The feds saw what appeared to them an an illegally-parked SUV, with no occupant, filled with boxes that might have contained explosives.

Needless to say, the feds were not very happy with me when I walked up to my Suburban and said, "Hi guys. What's going on?" They said "YOU ARE GOING ON!" At least I didn't get arrested!

Once I was having a bathroom emergency on the bus. Suddenly my stomach and everything attached to it were in complete and total distress.

I get off the bus and run into the Carl's Jr. the men's stalls were occupied so I looked in the women's bathroom and saw it was empty.

I am starting to complete this process and I hear the door open and a woman goes into the large stall next to me. I am silent, waiting for her to leave so I can leave and I hear....

"Excuse me, can you hand me some toilet paper?

Without saying a word, I passed some tissue under the stall and pulled my hand away before it could be seen.

I'm a teacher in the UK, I can't believe you told the head she was a cunt and didn't get escorted off the premises. Especially as you were going to interact with children!!!!

You'd have to be familiar with the school to understand. It's really not a strict school, especially when it comes to things like cursing. Besides, virtually every kid in the school has called her a cunt at one stage or another. It's not considered that big a deal. When I was in 4th year they just stopped disciplining students in my year because suspending them was doing absolutely no good. It's a rough school in a rough part of Dublin. Colaiste Dhulaigh is the name of the school. Look it up. I'm sure you'll find stories that will show you that name calling is the tip of the iceberg. The funniest thing is that when I went there as a student, she was my Irish teacher. Now, granted, I rarely went to that class because I'm a fluent Irish speaker so it's a bit pointless, but I had her for 3 years and she didn't recognise me. We laughed it off later when she was reminded of who I was and she gave the necessary speech on what is and isn't acceptable but it wasn't that serious an issue that I'd need to be escorted off the premises, as you put it. I was asked back this year and up until only a few weeks ago I was going to do it but things have come up which means I won't have time. Maybe next year though.

Why? I mean, I thought that since Irish is one of the official languages of Ireland, they'd teach you the language the same way as any native language - spelling, literature, composition...

I am the queen of embarrassment!!

- farting or wetting trousers when I was at elementary school

- going out in a loose shirt or skirt and then someone stops me and tells me they can see my nipple or ass

- when I was a teenager and my English wasn't perfect and said something embarrassing although I didn't mean to... in front of native speakers

- when I got menses at school, everyone saw that, a classmate handed me a few tampons, which was nice on one hand, but I was a virgin

- when I wrote something stupid in a school test or a lab report and was exposed for it... or I wasn't, but when I got the paper back, I obviously felt like an idiot

- when I was in Spain on a university exchange and needed something at a library on campus, the receptionist told me to bring it on a "pende" and pointed at some, which was a small thing I had no idea about, so I asked her where I could purchase it; she looked angry at me and started bitching around, so I said I was sorry and it was my first time in their library, so she cooled down... and when I left the library, I learnt that "pende"means USB I guess that she thinks that students from the Czech Rep have never seen a USB

Most embarrassing moment for me in recent times would have to be last year in school. Bit of background first. As some of you may or may not know, I worked as an actress and singer when I left school. Since having my daughter 4 years ago, I don't do much acting anymore because it's too time consuming and I'd rather be home with my child and luckily, I can afford to do so. But last year, my former secondary school (high school, I suppose, if you're American) drama teacher asked if I'd help her out and teach her class with her to share my experience. It's like 3 days a week so I thought, why not. Now, keep in mind these kids are around 15 years old and I'm 26 so there's a bit of an age gap. So, on my way in on my first day, the school principal sees me in the corridor and she stops me. I assumed she was going to say hello or thank me for helping out or something. But nope. She starts giving out to me and demands I go home and change into my uniform. She thinks I'm a student! And no matter how much I tell her I'm a teacher, she doesn't believe me. It gets pretty heated and I end up saying some very unkind things to her before the drama teacher shows up to tell the principal that I am, indeed, a teacher there. She's very apologetic and all the rest of it and I suppose I had to apologise for telling her I'd "ram that staple gun into your face, you stupid cunt". But that's not the embarrassing part. The embarrassment came when I went into class and realised that all my students had just heard the principal mistake me for a child and me threaten to kill her for it. Now, that's how you make a good first impression!

I'm a teacher in the UK, I can't believe you told the head she was a cunt and didn't get escorted off the premises. Especially as you were going to interact with children!!!!

Hopefully Emma told her she was "acting"!

I hate when I pee on myself.
