Here's a game to share our embarrassing ( or funny ) things that happened to us. It can also be something that you  were embarrassed about for someone else. It's a part of life, especially growing up. So don't be too Embarrassed to play along!

I'll start:  I was joining my husband after he had arrived at a restaurant. When I walked in I saw him sitting at a table with his back to me. I walked up, put my hands on his shoulders and said " Hi honey! ". He turned around and only then did I realize it was a complete stranger! I sure was glad I hadn't kissed him too.

Charlie's embarrassing moment:

He was on a ledge over a sink, with a catnip mouse. After batting the toy into the sink, he decides to go after it... Little did he know that the sink was filled with about an inch of water. He jumped out of there quickly before sprinting down the hall. After being given a towel, poor Charlie walked back and forth across it, trying to look dignified as he dried off his wet feet. I felt so bad for him, he did get lots of cuddles and extra special attention afterwards though (cuddles, treats, a new catnip mouse). That made him feel better, I'm sure.

Many years ago, my family and I went to a water park. The place was crowded and I ran to catch up with some of my other family members but this little girl came at me at 100mph. I didn't see her until it was too late. She smacked right into my leg and hit the ground hard. I stood their shocked. Everyone started staring and lots of eyes were on me. I got scared and ran off. I still think about it to this day.

A time when I was embarrassed for my friend.... She and her husband were playing cards with our group of friends. When the game was over and they were leaving, she said " Goodbye folks! ". In her Hispanic accent it came out " Goodbye f _ _ _ ks! " Her husband could only correct that English mistake after they left!

When I was younger and lived with me ex I would meet him as he got off the bus after work.
I never realized how bad my eyesight was for distance until one day.
I was late for meeting him at bus and I saw him getting off so I went running to him with my arms open until I got about five feet in front of a very startled man who was wearing the same colored shirt and pants as my ex.
Oops

There was a time I used my bicycle as my main form of transportation.  I had toe clips on my pedals.  One day I wore my new sandals.  I stopped my bike at a city bike stand in front of one of the more popular restaurants in town.  The restaurant had a long line of people down the sidewalk.  Both of my sandals got stuck in the toe clips and I could not put either foot down to balance my stopped bike!  I slowly fell over to my left and hit the ground.  And on a busy sidewalk with a long line of restaurant patrons with nothing better to do than watch me make fool of myself!  I freed my feet, hopped back up, smiled and said I was fine to those who asked.  I locked my bike to the stand and I left quickly.  There were probably people I had seen around town in the line, but I thought it was best not to stick around at the scene of my humiliation!

They were nice sandals, custom-made at a leather shop in town.  But I never wore them again while riding my bike!

When I was a teenager my mom was suspicious that I'd been smoking. One day when my older brother and his wife were at our house I sneaked a pack of cigarettes out of my purse and quickly hid them, so I wouldn't get caught if any of the adults decided to look for evidence against me. Sure enough my brother picked up my purse. My sister in law said " Don't get in her purse. She might have something in it she doesn't want you to see. " Ever the tormenter he pulled out a ' feminine product ' and said " No cigarettes, you must mean this! " I must have turned all shades of red!

Hosted a small dinner party. Walked back into the dining room after going to the bathroom. Didn't realize back hem of silk dress had gotten lodged in my underwear. Husband said it was okay. :doh3:

I was walking back to my seat after a visit to the bathroom at a Denny's in Atlanta in the middle of
the the night while driving to Florida with a friend. The place was jammed and I had to walk past about
15 booths to get back to ours. Was not till my friend pointed out a very long piece of toilet paper was
on the back :doh:of my shoe.

When I was in Jr. High school and there were no home computers, my cousin called and asked if I would give him some information from my encyclopedia. He had to write a paper for his health class on vasectomy. It was the first time I'd heard of it ( I was three years younger than he was ). As I read the information to him I sure was glad we weren't together because my face must have been very red!

ha!!!!!!

When I was a sophomore in high school I wiped out on ice wearing my new mini-skirt and sweater while changing classes. Our school was built on an open concept as a lot of schools are in warm weather climates but we were
in Ohio! A classroom filled with seniors watched me wipe out, my tights were torn, knee was bleeding. Carol Parker
came out to see if I was ok but the worst part was a senior guy that I had a HUGE crush on was in the class.
I saw him later on that day and he asked if I was ok after the fall. I was mortified but he asked me to the Spring
Fling 3 months later so I guess the fall was worth it.

You fell for him in more ways than one! :)

I'll keep this going as no one has posted for a bit.

I'm certain most of you have a go-to pair of pjs or other articles of clothing that are old, worn,
and/or out of style but you still wear it because it is so comfy etc. I have white pajama bottoms
circa 1998 from Victoria's Secret; not at all sexy but so comfortable and soft after hundreds of
washing. I cut a few inches from the bottom because they were always a bit too long. The fabric
is coming apart at the waste-band because it is rotted but I refuse to give them up. I usually only
wear them inside.

One morning a few weeks ago I took out a bag of dirty litter and was putting it in the receptacle.
The pjs fell down around my ankles!:doh: The house next door was being gutted and there were about
3 men working in full view but they said nothing. Either they didn't see or they did and thought
"what a fruicake." Still can't give them up.

I remember one day, many years ago, my mom and dad took me to the grocery store. After a short time, I lost them for a while (it was crowded). I was very little and short so I saw a man that looked somewhat like my dad. I ran up to him and hugged him and said, "Daddy!" I thought I had found him but this stranger looked down at me. Didn't even push me off. I let go really fast and ran as far away from him as I could. They were dressed the same. Long black coat, black hat, brown shirt. Facial hair was even very similar. Honest mistake. :ohwell: To say I was terrified would be an understatement.

When I was 6 or 7 my grandma, mom, aunt, cousin (who's just 3 months younger than I) and I went to a Mother/Daughter banquet. After eating my cousin and I were playing in a nearby room and heard my cousin's name called because she'd won a prize. She picked a plant off the table, and since we'd always done everything together I grabbed one too. An old lady snatched it back and said "That's MINE!" At first I was confused because I didn't understand why my cousin got a plant and I didn't, then I was super embarrassed that I'd tried to take the lady's plant.

One day after church, my niece was standing outside with the guy she was dating. I noticed her family was getting in their car and she wasn't. I asked, " Are you going home with Dale? " ( her boyfriend ). When I realized how bad that sounded I further embarrassed myself by saying, " No, I mean is he taking you home? " They smiled, seeing how I thought it could be taken the wrong way. As soon as she answered I quickly got to my car!
