What is your most embarrasing moment?

[Lil Missy]

I've had a few. The one that comes to mind in my young a foolish days was in High School.

I was in the marching band, and we practiced a formation that would end up in a heart. It was for a Valentines day event. We wore red uniforms. I ended up at front of the formation.

I forgot to zip up my red uniform pants. So my white undies were showing loud and clear, in the front of that formation. They took a picture for the yearbook.

OMG, I was so embarrassed. They had to color my underwear in red to post it in the yearbook.

I think I'd rather be caught with toilet paper on my shoe. It was horrifying.

What is one of your most embarassing moments?

1. Hey, mine is a high school marching band story too.

One night when I was a freshman flute player the band had to march around an opposing team's track to get to our "away" bleachers on the other side of the field at a high school football game. It had been raining and the track was muddy. Right in front of the other team's bleachers at the start of the march one of my shoes came off in the mud. I was marching in one shoe and one sock. When we stopped in front of our bleachers I had to fess up to the drum major, who was a real asshole. He started yelling at me and ordered me to go back and get it. I was wearing a uniform way too big in the first place, and to have to get out of line and go retrieve that shoe in front of a bunch of people who were laughing at me was absolutely humiliating. It's been 40 years and I still cringe when I think about it.

Yours is utterly embarrassing as well. Hope not too many kids noticed or were aware of it.

[Lil Missy]

2. Well, mine got doctored for the yearbook.

I think I'd have told that head drummer to go fuck himself, kick off my other shoe, and marched in matching socks!

[HopeHoops]

3. Mine was probably Halloween of 1985

I'm out at a bar in the middle of nowhere. My "designated driver" got drunk and decided to take off with some guy for sex. I'm in a devil costume. It is 3:00 in the morning and I'm shitfaced. I come back from the bathroom and some older woman asks me to dance. At some point, I realize she isn't there anymore. Shortly after that, I notice my wardrobe malfunction - I thought it felt a little cold down there. It gets uglier from that point on. Fortunately, I'm sure I never had to see any of those people again.

[Lil Missy]

4. LOL! Those "wardrobe malfunctions" are killers!

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

17. Yeah, and in a cold bar after all that beer, I'm sure it was the presentation of "Mr. Dinky"

[Lil Missy]

20. Cold causes shrinkage!

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

32. (so does massive intake of beer)

:hide:

[Bake]

5. If you think I'm gonna confess to that HERE

You've got another thing coming, Missy!!

:rofl:

They have been too numerous to count. And a lot of them, too.

Bake

[Lil Missy]

7. O C'mon! I once tripped off a curb and skinned my whole face!

You don't have anything? Like having the TP caught in your shorts?

[Bake]

9. Oh, I have LOTS of them. So many, it's hard to pick a "most" embarassing one.

Let's see. I've totally forgotten lyrics inthe middle of a song. On stage. One time I accidentally used the word ORGASM when I mean to say ORGANISM. And then repeated it. Didn't even realize what I had done.

How's that?

Bake

[old mark]

11. I just remembered doing that! I was singing with a blues band in

a small bar on South Street in Philly, and I turned to the mic and went completely blank. Forgot the entire lyric to the song.
I don't even remember trying to get out of it or recover, I was just standing there, playing the bass, but completely blank as far as the words.

Funny thing is that now I can reacall complete songs, lyrics, guitar solos, bass lines, etc from songs I have not even heard in 40 years...
usually at 3AM.

ADDED:But I don't think that was even close to my most embarassing moment - I think I will not even talk about that one yet, till the other witnesses are safely dead.

[Lil Missy]

16. LOL! Freudian slip?

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

6. That time I spelled embarrassing wrong on DU.

:hide:


:loveya:

[Lil Missy]

8. Wuss!

[mainegreen]

10. Once I walked into a street sign because I was frankly gawking at a very attractive lady.

She came out of a doorway, and she was stunning. She was maybe 15 years my senior (I was 21/22 at the time) but hell, she was well dressed, clearly in control, and un-friking-believably hot. I couldn't help staring and *blam* into a street sign. I was stunned and fell on my ass in the most ungraceful maneuver I have ever performed.

She helped me up, grinning at me the whole time, which really only made my embarrassment worse. But she did say 'see you later' in a very sexy voice and did a sexy walk away (obviously on purpose, as it was way to exaggerated to be normal). That was nice, but frankly it embarrassed me *even more*. I suspect she knew that too, and probably had a good chuckle about it later.

God, I'm turning pink just thinking about how awful that was.

[Lil Missy]

18. Oh you poor thing! LOL! Only thing similar I have,

I went to an interview as a youngster. All the glass walls were so clean I didn't realize which was the door. I walked right into a glass wall.

They had some weird symbols for male and female bathrooms, so of course I walked into the mens room. Needless to say, I did not get that job, LOL!

[TZ]

12. Running full speed into a sliding glass door I *thought* was open

I was visiting my Dad for the summer with my little sister. My first night there, I went outside to watch the fireworks from the nearby amusement park. I left the door open behind me. Didn't realize my dad had closed it. I got cold abruptly and turned to run inside..only to run into the door..THUNK...oh and both Dad and sister watched me do it, and then watched me slowly slide down off the glass door...So I come inside my nose hurting embarrassed as hell..My younger sister is absolutely howling in laughter. My dad is trying to be nice...he goes "Don't laugh at your sister, hehe, its not funny, hehe, she could have really hurt herself..BWAHAHAHAHA!" Thanks Dad! :eyes:

The worst part was I had to share a bed with my younger sister that night and I'd be almost asleep and I'd start to feel the bed shake and next thing I know...BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks sis! It was a long night and I think I literally heard about that ALL summer...:banghead:

[Lil Missy]

19. My little sis loves my most embarassing moments too! LOL!

And she's the only one who can get away with it! Bitch.

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Good gravy, I just did that Saturday night.

Happens with a bit of frequency around here. Probably a testament to how clean my house is. :thumbsup:

[Bake]

33. Damn! That's gonna leave a mark ...

From your description, it sounds like the door didn't shatter. I guess you realize how lucky you are that it didn't (and how lucky WE are, too, since you might not be around now posting in the Lounge if it had!).

:hi:

Bake

[TZ]

40. I was only a couple of steps away really...

So I don't really think that was a danger..And I realize I didn't quote the best part of it..My dad said to my sis right after wards.."Don't laugh, she could've broken her nose....BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" :eyes:

[DarkTirade]

37. My stepbrother did that once... but he had no excuse.

We had that door festooned with suction cup decorations and stick-on stuff to prevent exactly that. He was just (*&%ing oblivious. :P

[XemaSab]

52. I'm laughin' reading about it

:D

[ogneopasno]

13. Drinking and secret, long-harbored feelings rarely go well together. I'm just sayin'.

[Lil Missy]

21. Did you jump his/her bones?

:)

[ogneopasno]

24. I tried! And was rebuffed! Hence the embarrassment.

The other problem was, this happened in front of a bunch of his friends in the basement of his house. So, you know, awkward.

[LeftyFingerPop]

14. 3 notable situations:

1) 1990. Louisville, KY. Grateful Dead show. Accidentally burned off the majority of my pubic hair with a Bic lighter.

2) 1987. Philadelphia Spectrum. Grateful Dead show. Nosebleed seats. Slipped on spilled beer while blissfully dancing. Forward swan dive to 5th row below me. Mouth hit the back of a chair full-on. Turned lips to hamburger. Completely lost front tooth. Tried to drive home. Couldn't find any hotel rooms after I realized I needed to rest for the night. Finally got a hotel in Allentown, PA. When the guy quoted me $200 for the night, i said "You gotha be tithin' me".

3) 1985. Front porch. Tooth pulled that day. Dancing exuberantly with friends wife. My knees buckled and my head crashed into a concrete windowsill. Split my forehead wide open. Bled like a pig. Emergency visit to plastic surgeon. Friends wife was laughing so hard at the absurdity of it, that she went into my front yard and threw up.

[Lil Missy]

22. I don't believe you.

:)

[LeftyFingerPop]

23. It's all true. Wish it wasn't. n/t

[Bertha Venation]

27. "You gotha be tithin' me" -- laugh out loud in the office

:rofl:mao in the office, man, heads are turning

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[LeftyFingerPop]

31. To this day....

my friend imitates me saying that. :rofl:

[Bertha Venation]

47. absolutely classic

:thumbsup:

[Lil Missy]

29. Okay, I am trying to picture how you burned off your pubic hair with a Bic at a concert.

You don't need to draw me a picture, LOL!

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. Picture a pitch black port-o-john...a light source was needed.

[Kali]

54. ...

:spray: OMG :rofl:



sorry, man but that makes my day!

[jobycom]

15. Mine is that one two minutes after I drift off to sleep when I wake myself with a snore

the size and audacity of a Vegas Casino.

[Lil Missy]

25. Really? I never hear myself snore. I could sleep through a bomb.

Must be selective hearing. Cause when my son was home, I could hear the second the tinkle hit the pot, and put him back to bed.

But thunder and lightening, trees in my yard, half my garage landing in my driveway, I didn't even know it rained.

:shrug:

[jobycom]

28. I don't know if I hear it, feel it, or just shudder myself awake.

But it's been known to rattle the windows on a still night.

I know what you mean about selective sleep. I sometimes sleep through thunderclaps, but let one of my kids whimper in the next room, and I'm bolt upright in a second.

[Iggo]

34. Not tellin'.

[Lil Missy]

36. You can whisper it to me. I won't tell.

[Maine-ah]

35. drunk. lighting a smoke with a match

waved it out and I looked down and it wasn't in my hand. I didn't give it a second thought. A few seconds later everyone was yelling at me that my sweater was on fire. Damn match landed in a fold of my sweater, and I didn't even notice I was burning. Long Islands, Cinco de Mayo many moons ago....

[Lil Missy]

38. Gawd, I recall an older woman in college. She was rather awkward, and would hairspray half to death.

I'm sittin' there, minding my own business and studying. *sniff* *sniff* I smelled something burning.

She lit up a smoke, and her hair lit up on fire. She didn't know it. I started smacking her head with my homework papers to put the fire out. Scared the woman half to death. She thought I'd gone nuts and was attacking her. Some other guys nearby came over and tried to put the fire out too.

:rofl: :rofl:

I think she 'bout pissed herself, LOL!

[Raven]

39. I think I may have posted this before...years ago...but here goes...

Will Pitt and I were in Florida on vacation with the cousins. Will was about 13 or 14. We went to a Mall and one of the stores had a booth where a guy was making fudge. There was a crowd watching him do it. I was shopping and looked up to see a guy in the crowd watching the fudge making who I thought was Will. I walked up behind him, put my arms around his waist and leaned into his back with my chin on his shoulder. I must have stayed that way for a minute or two and this guy did not move a muscle. Finally my neice tapped me on the shoulder and wispered "Aunt Jane, that's not Will." Need less to say, I left the store in a hurry.

[Lil Missy]

41. .......

:spray:

[Raven]

43. Lil, what do the dots mean? And, no, I was completely sober!

[Lil Missy]

44. The dots just mean a pause. I thought your story was hilarious!

That kid probably thought he had a sugar momma, LOL!

Dots are not meant to be offensive or rude. It was just such a good story, I was speechless!

:hug:

[Raven]

46. I know, I can't imagine what that kid must have thought! Of course,

William was disgusted! Thanks for the explanation for the dots...always wondered about them! :-)

[Lil Missy]

49. Oh please, it wasn't a diss. To you? NEVER! I could depend on context though.

So don't take my word for it.

I didn't mean it with any disrespect though. I promise.

:hug:

[WCGreen]

42. If I told you I would have to kill you...

[Lil Missy]

45. Go ahead. I'm not afraid of death.

:P

[1gobluedem]

48. I told a blind woman with a guide dog "No pets allowed"

I was an overzealous teenage department store clerk who only saw the dog at first.

I also once took a shopping cart right out of man's hands; I was returning cans and bottles and for some reason thought he was returning the cart to the store. I went right up to him and said "I'll take that." Then I saw him in the store a couple of minutes later. He was an older man, European, and extremely gracious to me but I still get red when I think about it. :blush: I wonder what was really going through his head.

[Lil Missy]

50. Oh dear.

Chalk it up to youth.

[Inspired]

51. I was the only kid in my 6th grade class not asked to join the choir.

Needless to say, my singing voice is horrible. I own that truth!

It was very embarrassing but maybe humiliating is a better word to describe how I felt.

[Lil Missy]

53. Now that's awful. They should have included you.

[applegrove]

55. When I was in high school and really depressed I was on the basketball team. We went

to a tournament one weekend. In one game I scored two baskets...on the wrong basket. I laughed at myself. What else could I do.
