Embarrassing moments

[Miss Peregrine]

I have two.

I was working at a preschool and DH had flowers delivered to me at work. They smelled sooo good. I set the vase down and greeted parents as they walked by. I noticed a few double takes and polite smiles. People looking away quickly. I checked the mirror and I had pollen all over and around my nose.


I was sitting at the computer and I had to go to the bathroom. bad. I ran out of our office saying, "I have to poop so bad." As I ran into the entryway, our neighbor was standing right there talking to DH.

I have soooo many of these. The one that comes to mind is when I was nursing my newborn twins and keeping track of my 14-month-old toddler. The "girls" were sore from nursing 24/7. I was home alone with the babies and opted to wear y husband's oxford, unbuttoned to get some air on the situation. I got comfortable with this. Comfortable enough to accept, sign for and have a conversation with the UPS guy. It wasn't until I was making dinner about five hours later that I realized I'd flashed the UPS guy. :D

You gals are funny.
I woke up at 3am to pee and am still awake an hour later. I have to work noon to midnight. Humor is appreciated.

The most embarassing moment that comes to mind:
I'm in middle school, my then best friend is mad at me, I'd been at the dentist that morning, and I got my peri*d.

We are all working quietly or taking a test - can't remember. I got up to sharpen my pencil.....in my white skirt.......sat down and bf passed me a note, "You have blood on your skirt."

I thought she was being mean. Ends up true. Luckily we had those air blowing hand dryers in the bathroom. My other friend (who I have known since 2nd grade - and still know today) followed me closely to the bathroom and the whole highschool didn't see it. (Our ms was housed with a hs - it was a small Southern Baptist church/school operation.)

Nothing embarasses me now!

Last week I was feeling at a loss for what to have for dinner because I hadn't had a chance to do any shopping and so I e-mailed dh at work to ask if he would pick up something on the way home. Unfortunately he was in the process of doing a presentation and was using his laptop to run the presentation. Whilst he was doing the 'I am a very important man and take me seriously' part, my e-mail popped up with 'Can you pick up dinner on the way home?'. Of course everyone laughed.
The annoying part was, I have never done this before. I never will again.:o

Many years ago before I met dh I went to a concert with a date and another couple. I wore a miniskirt that had a zipper halfway down and then a tiny slit at the bottom. Apparently when we were getting out of the car the slit caught on something and ripped. Of course I didn't know about it. I thought it was weird because as we were walking up some stairs a bunch of guys were staring at me and smiling. It wasn't until about 1/2 hour into the concert that my date told me what had happened. The other girl that we were with knew the whole time but didn't tell me. Apparently the slit went halfway up and I was flashing my bright pink undies to everyone.

To this day I can't figure out why I didn't feel a breeze except for the fact that it was very crowded and hot. People kept on bumping into me anyway so for some reason I didn't feel it. Unfortunately I didn't have anything to sew up the tear but I was wearing a denim jacket and tied that around my waist. My boyfriend and the other couple had the nerve to get mad at me when I didn't want to go out after the concert. Needless to say, that was my last date with him.

I have many embarrassing moments, it's embarrassing to admit how many!

But the one that stands out was back in college. I was taking physics, which I did not understand a single word of. We had a test, and because I was literally just guessing at the answers, I finished first. I stood up to walk forward and hand in my paper. Everyone was glaring at me, you know the way people do when they can't believe you finished so quickly. The room was perfectly silent.

I started to walk forward, and tripped over my chair. I actually flew up in the air, came down on my back on my chair, knocking it across the aisle. My shoe came off and flew across the room. My papers went everywhere.

I had to pick myself up, gather my papers, and painfully limp forward while everyone laughed. The teacher of the class was an extremely irritable, mean dwarf (literally, he had dwarfism, although I'm sure that was not the explanation for how very mean he was) named Dr. LeStrange. He did ask if I was okay.

I think I got a D on the test, and it took quite a while for the bruises to fade.

I am guessing he was mean because his name is Dr. LeStrange! Can you imagine growing up with that name?

Sorry for you fall Michelle!

This happened to me A LOT when my boys were old enough to answer the phone, but not real clear on etiquette. At the time, we lived in a small house with one small bathroom. So many times, one of my boys would come to the bathroom door, phone in hand, to tell me someone was on the phone for me. It took me several times of loudly annoucing, "I'm going to the bathroom and can't come to the phone", before I realized the person on the other end could hear me loud and clear!

There are worse things, I suppose!

I was at my first real job after college. I thought a heard a meowing noise which I mentioned to my co-worker. She listened and heard it too. She called our boss because there had been kittens trapped in our building before. The boss called the fire department and they came and broke open the foundation to the building to dig and look for kittens. They did not find any, so the left. A little later in the day I heard the noise again. I then realized that the noise was coming from the thermos that I brought coffee in. The pressure from the thermos was making it squeak and sound like a meow. I confessed to my co-worker who told me to never, ever tell anyone else. LOL!

When I had to run errands with new baby. We were moving and I had gone to the bank to close accts. and some other places. My mom asked me later that day if my feet felt different. I asked why and she pointed out that I was wearing two different shoes. I hadn't noticed the whole day.

These are so funny!

Thanks for making me laugh :D

OMGosh, that is hilarious, LOL

Here's one. I *think* I've actually posted this before on the old boards.

When dh and I were newly married, we were visiting my parents and staying in "my room" which was directly above my parents'. After everyone turned in for the night, but before the household was asleep, dh and I were...um...well, acting like newlyweds in the room upstairs. Dh puts the moves on me, and tries some crazy maneuver that ended up being a cross between Hulk Hogan and Woody Allen. In one smooth tumble, we both crash out of bed, dh clocking his brow on the marble topped bedside table on the way off the bed. I'm flattened, dh is laughing hyterically and also bleeding. We land in a heap on the floor only to hear my father hollering from down below, "What the h*ll's going on up there??!!"

The next morning, dh confessed to the whole thing. :o

Ok, here are my two most embarrassing moments ever. Geesh, what I DO for you people...

One morning, I was in my student-teaching classroom before school, and I passed some gas.
Some ggggaaaasssssss, if ykwim. I think, "Oh, Man! What am I going to do!" and start jumping and waving my arms around the room, trying desperately to clear the air before the kids come.
In walks my mentor teacher. I didn't even hear her approaching down the hall. I pause, practically in mid-air. She didn't say a word, and neither did I.


I am lactose intolerant. But I still like to have cereal once in a while. I just can't eat the 3 bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios that I did one memorable morning.
I go into work at preschool, and my morning chow-down catches up with me. I am standing over sweet little preschoolers, blowing f@rts like there's no tomorrow. In walks my director.
"What in the world is that smell?"
I take her aside and say quietly, "I think it's Matt (one of the unsuspecting littles)."
"Well," she replies, "For God's sake,take him to the bathroom and sit him on the potty!"
This is my confession. I've felt guilty about this for years. Now you know.

I was 'Maid of Honour' at my little sister's wedding when my dd was just a few months old. The wedding cars were running late and they had just arrived to pick my sisters and I up, finally. Just as we were about to leave, my daughter completely 'filled' her diaper/nappy. We all rushed around crazily, changing the diaper. Happy we had done the job in record time, we were rushing out the door when my sister pointed at my forehead and shrieked. I had poop on my face!
Can you see me now walking serenely down the aisle behind my sister....:o?

Oh, man, why do I so love reading about everyone's embarrassing moments?

Anyway, while we were entertaining some guests from church, my sister hurriedly jumped up from her chair, rushed up the stairway (in plain view of where we were) and scuttled my little girl who had been descending the stairs, back up the stairs. The only thing I noticed when I glanced up was that dd had some sort of long, black stocking cap on her head. Picture a demented elf here.

Apparently, dd has discovered a bag of lingerie stuffed in the back of a closet, and decided to use a black thigh-high as a hat. Thank goodness that's all she decided to don. I think she thought she had found the mother lode of all dress up clothes. Yikes! I will always be indebted to my sister for saving me that day. ;-)

LOL, thanks for the laugh! This is the funniest thing I've seen today!
