What is your most embarrassing moment?
Some friends and I were discussing this today...
Fess up, ladies! 
S'pose the title should be "What WAS your most embarrassing moment"? 
When I took ds - then just around 2 or 3 - to a Memorial Day parade in my hometown. He said "f" for "tr" and "fl", so guess what he was shouting out when the fire TRucks came and the FLags went by...He was shouting as loud as he could. I was dying.
Oh my goodness Colette!!!! That is too funny
Well Heidi, we haven't heard your story yet!
I went to a wedding and there was a woman there who looked a bit trashy, I pointed her out to my husband, she had on a leopard print dress that looked more like a night gown on in the church. I was being very judgemental and looking down my nose at this woman.
I was wearing a very elegant black chiffon skirt. Later that evening at the reception, I went to the ladies room. I walked out of the ladies room into the hotel hallway and the bartender from our room was behind me so I stopped and held the door open for him, he thanked me.
I then walked into the main dining hall past at least 4 tables. The woman who I was earlier trashing came running up to me and she was speaking french, I wasn't getting everything she said but I did get "skirt" and "stuck" and pantyhose" out of the conversation. I realized that the bottom of my skirt was tucked into the top of my pantyhose! I was wearing ultra shear black pantyhose with a lovely thong underneath.
Moral of the story, well I guess that's obvious!
I was in Pennsylvania with Jessica under 2 and Addison maybe 3 months old. Dumb me had decided to drive to NY from Chicago. I wanted to have the grandparents meet Addison. John couldn't get time off so I was on my own for this road trip. I had missed my exit and Addison was crying. To top it off Jessica badly needed a diaper change. I sped up to try to get over for a nearby exit and cut in front of an unmarked police car...who promptly pulled me over. The cop started yelling at me. Addison started crying even more. Then all of a sudden the cop started backing away from the car. He gave me a look of absolute disgust and told me to get my butt to the rest area. I turned around to discover Jessica had pulled her diaper off and tried to give it to the cop---poop and all!
Embarrassing--YES! but I didn't get a ticket
OMGosh! Both have me laughing!
I guess mine is quite boring?
I remember when my dad had custody of me in the 6th grade when my mom had to go take care of her mother out of state. Well, needless to say he wasn't used to doing the "weekly" things with us like taking us to school, getting ready for the day, etc.
Well, my dad at least took us clothes shopping for the 1st day of school and got us all excited!! So, I show up to school in this cute plaid dress with a beautiful white blouse with matching earrings...topped off with some really cute patent leather shoes.
He had to drop me off early since he had to get to work an hour away and the buses didn't come to his house. So, I'm sitting in the front lobby (the custodian let me in) and I start noticing the office ladies coming in. (They hadn't seen me yet.) Then, when I thought school was supposed to start, I went up to the back of the office and asked a secretary what time school started....she said, "Oh sweetie, school doesn't start until TOMORROW!!!"
Needless to say, I was so embarrassed when I had to wait for hours for my dad to pick me up and then I couldn't wear my new dress for the REAL first day of school!! 
Funny stories!
MrsHeidi, why couldn't you wear the dress?
DH gave me a couple of sessions with a personal trainer at the gym last year. I am am working away doing "leg spreads" ( i am not sure what they are really called) on the Nautilus machine. I look down and noticed I had a big hole in the crotch of my workout pants. Needless to say I quickly started complaining that my leg hurt, leapt up from the machine and into the locker room. My face is still red when I think about it!
LOL, you guys! Jann, I couldn't wear the dress because there were a few students there who were children of the staff who saw me.
And, Kathy, I forgot that I once broke a Thighmaster while I was at a high school party...I saw it on their fireplace and thought I'd give it a try!! (Hhmmm...was I drinking?) It was right in front of a guy I liked too!! Needless to say, you can imagine what sort of stories came of that one.
The first story to come to mind is this:
One morning before school i told told my ds, who is 4 yrs old, to get dressed for preschool. He got dressed and off we go to school. He had these pants on that fit but were just a little loose in the waist but i didn't bother putting a belt on him that day.
When he got home from school, i noticed that he hadn't put any underwear on!!! I was so worried that his pants may have fallen down during class or that the teachers somehow noticed that he was not wearing any underwear. Then next day i sent a note into class telling the teachers that i was so sorry that he was not wearing underwear and that i hoped those pants didn't fall down. I was so mortified!
The teachers got a big kick out of my note. Luckily they had not even noticed that he for got his underwear that day. But this happened in the beginning of the year and his teacher mentioned that incident today and how that was "one for the books!" LOL
Also, he got himself dressed on a day that he had a yearly Dr. appointment. And, yep, you guessed it! When the Dr. opened his pants to check things out down there he said "OH! No underwear today?" OMG was i embarrassed!
Anon on this one, just too embarrassed. In college I dated a guy for several months. We were freshman, his roomate a junior. After 3 months I still had not met his room mate and I always joked that he didn't exist. Well bf broke his arm and I went to console him. We were in his loft, half clothed and the roomate walks in. I about died. But bf then proceeds to say, well you need to meet him so you will know he is a real person. He hops up to say hi, I am deep under covers at this point.
Fast forward a month, I now avoid the room mate. But after a month it gets old always being at my place with my room mate. So we venture to his place only to get caught again, as the roommate walks out he says loudly to a passing neighbor, "kevin is at it AGAIN". We were NOT having sex, but were very heated. So I am embarrassed to be seen with my top off and then again embarrassed because he thought we were having sex and we were not.
If we have to narrow it down to just one, I would say my most embarrasing moment is when I accidentally mooned my children's bus one morning. I will never forget the look on the driver's face.
Only one? I have a bazillion!
When my oldest DS was about 6 months old my DH was preparing to graduate from seminary and interviewing for his first full-time ministry position. We went in view of a call at a church in Missouri (In S. Bapt. interviewing process that's when the church has narrowed the search down to one person and you go before the church as a whole, meet with a lot of different church members, and then the church votes to decide yay or nay). We had a reception at night to meet and greet with youth parents,deacons, and other interested parties. My DH had to get up and talk for awhile and then they wanted me to get up and tell a little bit about myself, how I supported his ministry, etc. I don't get terribly embarrassed speaking in front of large groups, but was understandably a bit nervous since this was a job interview for my DH. The minute I got behind the podium and opened my mouth I felt that tingly feeling in my left boob. Yep--you guessed it! My milk letdown right in the middle of my talk while I was standing in front of about 100 people wearing a green silk dress. Since my DS was older breastfeeding was well established and I never leaked anymore so I didn't have on nursing pads. I had a big wet circle just on the left and walked around the rest of the reception holding a punch glass awkwardly in front of my chest until I could gracefully bow out of the event.
DH did get the job.
Tayjar, we definately need more information about that one! How on earth do you accidently moon someone one? LOLOLOLOL!
Well, i have one...
I was a Senior in college and a group of us went out to celebrate graduation before the actual event. That night the bar of choice was offering $2 shots of some highly potent beverage... so after downing three shots with my friends i was left with some mighty thick beer goggles. As the course of the evening progresses, us girls head off to the ladies room. With my beer goggles i notice a person standing in the ever long line of girls waiting to their turn for the stalls. I politely tell the "young man," "this is the ladies room." Well of course the young man was in the right room, because it was a girl!!! She "politely" told me off and i cried the rest of the night from pure embarrassment! Needless to say, i have never lived that one down, and i no longer drink $2 shots! LOL
When I was pg with Gabe, we went to watch fireworks at a public park. On the way out, there were lots of cars at a stand still. The exhaust fumes were overwhelming and I started feeling sick (really sick). All of the places that had restrooms were closed that I could get out and walk to, so I just tried to get through it the best I could. On the way home in the car I began to poop my pants. I could not control it! I pooped and pooped and when I got home, little poopies fell out of the legs of my shorts all the way up the walkway to the front door. I also had my sixteen year old brother with me and he was gagging out the window.
It is pretty funny now, but then, it was pretty humiliating!
Mine was when I was a senior in High School. I was a captain of the track team which meant I stood in front of the track team while we did stretching. Boys and girls teams warmed up/stretched together. It was towards the beginning of the season, so it was cool until you got warmed up. This day was a little warmer and about half way through warm ups I decided to take off my sweats. Only problem is that I didn't have shorts on underneath that day!!!!! Got them almost over the second shoe before I realized it!! People STILL talk to me about that one!!
ROFLMBO Katherine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One night, while Chris and I were dating, we went to his house and watched a movie with his parents. I had a cold and a bad cough. I was laying on Chris' lap, and had to cough, and at the same time, I farted really loud. Chris, then said, "Excuse me" and led his parents to believe that he had done it. I knew from that moment on that he was a keeper.
And:
One night at Chris' house, (while we were dating) we were making out on his couch and assumed that everyone was sleeping. It was getting a little heavy, and then from no where, his dad walks by us. I freaked out, and sat up faster than you could say "hi". I was mortified, and to this day am hoping that he didn't see anything.
My first real job was at Sears and they had the tv's set up so when you walked by you could see yourself on about 10 of them. I was 16 and just started driving and thought I was so cool going through mcdonalds drive thru before work and everything. I'd only been there 2 weeks and I got a terrible stomach ache. I didn't want to leave, but suddenly I knew I was going to throw up. I did- on my way to the bathroom- shown on all those tvs!!!! I was "that girl who threw up" forever!!!!
LOL! Katherine. Little poopies was too funny.
When ds was only about 2 I was at the store with him and he didn't want to sit down in the seat in the cart. He wasn't fussy, he just kept trying to stand up in the seat and I kept telling him to "sit down." Well you know how kids just repeat what they hear. Only he didn't get it right. In front of an elderly respectful-looking lady, he said, "$&IT down!"
I blushed and said, "No honey, that's SIT down!"
LOL. Another funny one Cocobutter.
In my senior year of high school me and my boyfriend of 2 yrs had broken up. The weeks that followed, I would dress real nice and fix myself up (better than I normally did) because I wanted him to think that he blew a good thing. Me and my friends would walk by him and be real stuck-up toward him and acted like we were "all that". Well one day I was walking down the hall after class, walked right by him with my nose stuck up in the air and noticed that there was laughter behind me. I really didn't think too much of it until I got about 3 halls over and a teacher came up to me to let me know that my skirt was tucked in my panties!! I walked through the whole high school with my butt showing to everyone.
When my ds was about four years old, he started liking football and would talk about the teams that his friends liked. He kept telling us about his friend Matt, who liked the "f---ing ears". This didn't make any sense and we NEVER talk like that so we didn't even know where he heard it. He told his teachers, friends, friends' parents and we always had to explain that it wasn't what it sounded like but we didn't know what he was saying. Turns out he was trying to say "Buccaneers"!
I love all these stories. I am drawing a complete blank! LOL
When I put my shirt on backwards and go outside. I don't do it alot, but I can't believe I do it at all! Once I wore a black bra and a white tee together. That was baaaad... I was distracted. I think the black shirt I was going to wear was linty and I forgot I was wearing the black bra...
Or it could be the leaking you know what when I was breast feeding. Right through the shirt in the summer....
You guys are cracking me up!!
My dad sold cars at the end of his driveway, and he would call the people who were looking at the looky lue's. One day when I was about 15, my dad was in the garage, and I noticed some people out at a car that dad had out their, and I went running out into the garage, saying hey dad thier is a looky lue at the car, just to look up and see the guy talking to dad. He said looky lue eh? my face went totally red, and I ran, to hear them both laughing their guts out
Here's one from my MIL. She went to the doctor with DH when he was really little, she had hemeroids. He was quietly playing in the waiting area when suddenly he decided to tell everyone that they were there to see the doctor because his mommy had a sore hole!
Mine isn't very bad--but then I don't have kids to embarrass me yet!
When my sister was 10, she made it her personal mission to loudly inform all smokers, "Smoking is bad for you!" She'd then cough, "cancer, cancer." Well, at 12, this embarassed me--plus, I didn't think it wise to harass 20-year-old guys when we were alone at the movie theater. Later, I was with a group of friends at the park and we were telling funny stories. Unfortunately, though I started telling about my sister quietly, I soon got into it and told it animatedly. Just as I finished, I looked up to see two smokers staring in our direction!
I will share my dad's..LOL
Some history, my mom had ms and was in a wheelchair, often she would need help getting in and out of the bathroom. So if they stopped somewhere dad just hung out. So the 250 pund 6 ft 4 guy was lurking at the restrooms. When she died, he often commented how that is one thing he didn't miss Well 5 years later, new wife, she is diagnosed with brain cancer. They are taking trips back and forth to houston from their home. Half way they would stop and use the restroom. Dad would wheel Beth in the door, she woudl go to the restroom and then get back to the door. So once again dad is lurking. Well beth had been through radiation and chemo and was losing strength.
So on this one stop, dad gets beths chair out, gets her into the restroom and hangs out. The mamager walks by him more than once, trying to assess the situation. Dad says this was a young woman who looked very new in her job. So instead of talking to him she just walked by. Well Dad hears beth yell "help, richard I need help" She is in a ladies restroom, so he doesn't want to walk in. So a lady walks by, he explains that his sick wife is in there and is yelling for help, could she make sure no one else was in there. At this time, the manager comes running, "beth yells" I'm stuck". The manager goes into super hero action, say I will save you, looks at dad and says "stand back". sure enough, beth couldn't get off the potty, but she had gone in the handicap stall and couldn't unlock the door, the manager crawled under the door, unlocked it, let dad help beth, then said, next time you should be more careful! GEESH! Dad was ever so embarrassed!
This goes back many years, but after graduating H.S. went on a job interview. When it was finished I got up to leave. I wasn't familiar with the office and there were a few doors.
Unfortunately, I picked the wrong one and walked in a closet. But I did get the job!
This is for you Heaventree.
It started out as a typical morning. The DKs are standing in the front entry way watching for the bus. I am getting ready for work. We are actually running on time for once. I am still getting dressed for work. I put on my top and then I put on my pantyhose so I don't have pantylines. Now, my butt is not the smallest creature in the world and closely resembles Miss Piggy's face when shoved into a pair of hose.
I am about to put my pants on when I hear the kids yell, "Bus" and try to run out the front screen door. All heck breaks loose when they can't get it open and the bus is getting closer.
Forgetting I haven't put my pants on yet I run to the front door, unlock it, and throw my butt against it to open it. The kids are walking out and realize what has happened. I still don't. That explains the look of complete horrer on their faces. I continue to stand there, waving, and watch them get on the bus. The entire time I still have my rear end smashed against the glass door. I look at the bus driver and realize he has a look of sheer amazement on his face. That's when it dawned on me that the entire bus as well as the 4 or 5 cars behind him are watching me stand there in my shirt and pantyhose and nothing else.
Oh my gosh Tayjar!!! THAT is funny!! I bet you about died!
LMBFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is just hilarious Dora
OMG Tayjar thanks for sharing the details, much better story ROFL!
Heidi, excellent post! Let's keep this going. I have one more, I'll share later.
Love it! Too funny.
I have never laughed so hard in my life reading your most embarassing moments. I have a few one while in high school my Brother and I were on the bus to come home and we were getting closer and closer and noticed 2 people standing at our stop wearing halloween masks and waving and yelling out our names. The bus stop Db and I just sat there and looked at each other. and the bus driver and a couple kids on the bus started laughing and asked who's does those two nuts belong to my brother and I stood up and said that they were ours. It was my Mom and my Aunt. So embarassed We had just started the new school.
One on my sister.My Mom just picked her up from work and we went to the grocery store. I was walking behind my sister when I noticed that she had her shirt on backwards and I started laughing and told her and she got all mad because I laughed and my Mom started laughing and said did you have a rough day at work because your pants are inside out and the tag was showing in the back Sweat pants.
My Dad and I was going to go to Dairy Queen one night for my Mom(dead of winter snow everywhere) as we are walking out the front door and down the steps Dad hit the first step and it was slippery well he lost his footing and fell down all three steps on his butt only to land hard on the ground. My Dad is the type that if you laugh he gets mad. I tried and tried to hold it in and I told him that I forgot something and went back into the house to laugh my butt off
My other sister and I went with my Aunt to the bank and we were standing in line waiting and this young boy was pretending he was shooting people with his play gun well he shoots my sister and she grabs her chest and yells you got me you got me and falls down to the ground and lays there moaning. to funny but the young boy didn't pretend to shot any body any more while we were
there
My younger brother is blind and he always tells Mom if I look funny will you tell me well one day we were all going to spend the day in town. We were all walking around and enjoying our day well My middle daughter walks up to my Mom and wispers to her Grandma do you know that Uncle is wearing 2 different shoes. My Mom started laughing and she tells Db that you are wearing 2 different shoes and I thought he was going to get mad. but tells my Mom I thought they felt weird. I have never laughed so hard in my life as I did that day.
