Your Most Embarassing Moments

Some of you may remember, before the cat "crash" I'd posted a thread with the same title. Well, wouldn't you know it, I've done it again. Here's what happened:

Iwent to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread, and pulled out the $5.00 bill I had put in my right front pocket. In doing so I had pulled a feather (from one of Angel's toys that came off, that I had picked up and put in my pocket so he wouldn't eat it) out with the $5.00 bill.

Well the cashier saw the feather, laughed and asked, "Do you own a bird?" and I replied "No, a cat!"

So, of course, on the way home I got to thinking, as I usually do "after the fact," that she probably thought I meant my cat killed a bird!!!

Oh no! Ha ha... that's funny though.

I can't think of any embarassing moments right now... but I'll try to think harder!

lol...thats funny, and it brings to mind something that happened to me a couple of weeks ago...

I was rushing out to do last minute Christmas shopping, on my way out the front door I noticed a clothes peg that was on the floor (one of the babies must have been swipping it around the floor ) So, being in such a rush I just picked it up and placed it in my handbag, i hate leaving things on the floor....Anyway, I was at the cashier, ready to pay for my purchase...and of course as I pulled out my money, the clothes peg falls out of my bag too! The checkout line had about 15 people in it, and everyone started laughing.. one lady said "Excuse me, but you dropped your clothes peg on the floor!" So, of course I picked it up with my cheeks burning, while another gentleman whispered to his partner "I know you carry everything in your handbag...do you have any clothes pegs too?"
Well, I picked up my purchases and ran out the door....

Sonja, I wouldn't laugh at you! I have a lot of stuff in my bag that would be very embarassing if they accidentally fell out!

I"ve got one.......

A few years back a friend of mine and I were going into a grocery store. As we were on our way in, I felt something sticking out the pant leg of my jeans. I stopped and told her to stop. I put my hand on her shoulder to steady myself and pulled out what i thought was going to be a dryer sheet from my pants leg. Next thing I know, I"m holding up a pair of my panties that must have got wedged in the leg of my jeans while in the dryer. One older gentlemen was walking by and saw and said,"How'd you do that?" implying that those had been the one I was wearing! I hastily shoved them in my pocket of my coat and hurried into the store...........

If this were a contest.....by all means, YOU WON!

Thanks Cheryl.........I humbly accept!

Well, I don't think this is my MOST embarrassing moment, but it's recent. As some of you know, I was sick over Christmas--fever, cough, sore throat, whole nine yards. Anyway, my bf's main gift to me for Christmas was theater tickets--for Dec. 27, the Monday after Christmas. Well, Monday rolled around, I was feeling much better, fever was gone, cough was controlled by meds (or so I thought) so we decided to go to the play. Well, 5 minutes into it, I was hit with an uncontrollable coughing fit. I was trying everything to stop or muffle it: holding my breath, coughing into my hat. I couldn't get up and leave, because it was a short play in a small theater, and they made an announcement that if you left your seat during the production, you would not be allowed to come back in. I wanted to crawl under a rock. People all around us started handing my bf hard candies to give to me, but nothing was working. Then all the coughing started making my nose run, and I had no choice but to blow it. After about 3 minutes (but it felt like an hour) I finally stopped coughing. I was so embarrassed, as we were leaving after the play I just kept my head down and tried to get out as soon as possible.

I'm glad other people put strange things in their handbags. We had some visitors (American) with young children. The evening before they left, we all went out to dinner. Figuring the kids would order French fries (chips), and knowing that German restaurants don't serve ketchup as a matter of course, but will sell you little foil packets of absolutely horrid stuff, I took along a bottle of Heinz ketchup. The next day, I drove them to the airport, and had to go through security. Sure enough, I had to empty my entire handbag, revealing a half-empty bottle of ketchup. That got some very strange looks - I guess people thought I'd nicked it.

these are great!

Tricia do you know whats the best way? Just go to mc donalds buy some ketchup so it doesnt look so embarrasing

Hehehe I loved that story about your knickers Susie - though maybe I shoudln't say that too loud in public! My knicker elastic snapped at the new years party and fell down (shame I was wearing a skirt really) but I was lucky... the floor was so crowded that on-one saw me kick them into a corner like nothing had happened!! I don't think I'll be going back in to the pub for them though!!

That just reminded me of my worst day in high school. We wore uniforms, with either knee socks or tights. One day I managed to buy a pair of "miraculously growing tights". They were fine when I put them on in the morning, but were starting to bag around the ankles by the time I got to school. Every minute they seemed to grow longer and wider, and by lunch I had the waistband pinned to my bra, and the shoelaces from my gym shoes tied around my thighs just to keep them on. And they continued to grow. Everybody kept looking at them. It was horrible - I was 16 and absolutely mortified! After that, I always made sure I had an extra pair of tights and knee socks in my locker.

OMG Tricia that's hilarious!!

oh Tricia I really feel for you!! I had a uniform in High School too though I have to say I was lucky enough to be able to wear trousers!! I did manage to dump an entire mug of hot chocolate over my head once - I was walking along outside with it and some kid charging down the path in the other direction (not looking where he was going, I hasten to add) ran into me, but I'd lifted the cocoa to stop him spilling that.... unfortunately... I let go the mug.
