    When i was about 13 (am now 15), i was playing tigi with my friends and i was running through an undercover area at my school to get away from a friend who was it. My crush was sitting ahead of me and i decided to be a huge showoff and started running really fast. Just as i got to him, i tripped over and went flying and scraped my knee really badly. To make things worse, i had a skirt on so i full on flashed him and his mates. I went to the sickbay bruised, bloody and MAJORLY embarrased! There was a good part though...he was nice enought to come to the sickbay and see if i was okay. :) He never lets me live it down thoug. lol

    When I was 9 or 10 I was watching cartoons one Saturday morning. My mom came in and told me to go put some clothes on, as I was still in my underwear. I ignored her since I wasn't planning on going anywhere. Shortly I heard her let someone in and heard them talking. It was my new teacher, they were going shopping. I quietly got up and slipped into the kitchen to go up the back stairs. As I started through the kitchen they burst in the other door to get coffee. I froze standing there in just a t shirt and tighty whities. My mom gasped, my teacher looked wide-eyed and then smirked, and her daughter who was maybe 13 started laughing.
    When I could move again I bolted out the back door instead of going up the stairs. I just wanted out of their sight. I hid on the porch until they left.

    Ah, embarrassing moments... One thing's for certain. We all have them! :) My last one was, er, yesterday. Seriously. Not sure I'm ready to relive it in public yet though. Thanks for a very entertaining page.

    WordCustard, I know what you mean...sometimes those "moments" need time to simmer. :) Thanks for taking time to let me know you were here.

    These are some very well told stories. Reminds me how our van is broken down due to a failed fuel pump due to me running it out of gasoline. Steve Irwin was a treasure and so full of life and not afraid to just get out there and laugh at himself in the doing. it was nice to again watch some of his happier, although embarrassing moments.

    Rhonda Sue, thanks for taking time to leave a comment. (Loved your fuel pump story, too, although I'm sure it wasn't so hilarious at the time.)

    Chatting to my Boss and a workmate at the same time on messenger. Basically I told my boss that he was a bonehead. Lesson learned - don't gossip on messenger to workmates. I can't imagine anything worse!

    Great Lens - Kept me reading it to the end.

    Not sure how I missed your comment way back when. (Oh wait...yes, I do. We were snowed in while housesitting near Yosemite in February!) What a horrible, earth-stopping moment this must have been for you. Juggling two messenger forms is dangerous business!

    I sent a card to a neighbor who had remarried and accidentally put his former wife's name on the card.

    when i talk to someone about my embarrasing moments i feel better, when i hear others i feel much better because that means it happens to everybody and sometimes they are worse
    my embarrassing moment

    i was making a speech about animal cruelty
    and i was so nervous ..the bad thing is that it was a really long speech
    all of a sudden my voice started to faint
    i didint know what to do i had to stop and rub my chest
    then continue and his happen so many times iwanted to stop
    but that wouldve been more embarrasing
    well by the end everybody thought i was going to cry because of how my voice sounded
    and well since it was about animala cruelty lol..they thought i got sentimental about that
    this might not sound that embarrasing but it was for me
    because i have problems on everytime i make a long speech
    my voice would faint or sound weird like if i was about to cry
    jeje well that was my recenty embarrasing moment lol

    right in the middle of a long drawn out convention speech I was in the process of giving, I suddenly sneezed and immediately unleased a massive FART which forced me to involuntarily Pee my panties right in front of the whole crowd. It was so Embarrassing.

    Great lens ~ my specialty was always spectacular wipeouts (as publicly as possible, of course :o) I think the best one was when leaving school one afternoon in winter; dressed up and in heels, of course. Walked out of the main building chatting away with a friend, got to the steps and WOOSH! My feet shot out from under me and I ended up sprawled flat on my back (like roadkill) at the bottom. I was laying there still blinking rather stupidly up at the sky, when my friend leaned over and asked if I was okay. For some reason her face looming large overhead set me off, and I laid there just laughing like a loon...she walked off and left me there (claimed I'd embarrassed HER :o) 5* and a big silly grin for your lens.

    I love your "Ballot box incident", hilarious! It reminds me of my embarrassing moment working as a volunteer at a polling station. I used the bathroom and flushed the toilet but the handle got stuck and the toilet kept on flushing (loudly). When I returned to my chair all the voters and workers were looking at me, giggling. I was so embarrassed!

    Ohme, thanks for stopping by and sharing my "moments". Laughter truly IS good for the soul, especially when shared!

    Oh me! Oh My! You really can spin a yarn and a great one at that. I held onto every word. Great stories. I have had and continue to have embarrassing moments so can really appreciate how you were feeling.

    and I have to tell one on me - I am married to a practical joker, so I have zillions of these stories. Embarrassment is the story of my life. But one year, I was working for the school district as secretary. Our daughter was in a nearby junior high school. The school called me. "There is a problem with Kathy's lunch money check. I don't think you meant to write it for such a large amount." I turned to my boss - "Whitey has done something. School says there is a problem with Kathy's lunch money." He took me to the school and I rushed in the door "where is he? this has to be a Whitey trick!" But no, I had really written her lunch money in the amount of my bank balance! Mr. B. teased me for years about that!

    Great lens! fun and funny! we all have these stories - but my friend Margie tells the best one. She and hubby had been shopping at the mall. Went to car. Car is gone. Their car was nowhere in sight. She went to security. Screaming, complaining that their car had been stolen. Security suggested she walk out another entrance and see if she could see it. She said, "I may be old, but I know where I parked my car!" But to satisfy the security guys, she agreed to go out another way. And of course, found her car. She went back and told them "those robbers moved my car to another place!" lol

    Great Lens Idea. My moment was on the first day at a new school I told my teacher I was sick and needed to go to the nurse. She told me I was just nervous. I threw up all over her desk which was covered with papers. It turns out I had a fever and really was sick. But for the rest of the year, everyone teased me for throwing up on her desk.

    Isn't it strange how the emotions of those early moments stick with us? Oh, you've just jarred my memory! Gotta add that to this lens...

    Yeah...the ol' time change trick! I've seen people walk into church all confused because they're an hour late. I've shown up an hour early. Those confused clocks will get us every time.

    MiMi, that's hilarious. Well, I know of a grown man who went to his doctor and told her his "angel wing" (shoulderblade) hurt. :D

    Great way to deal with your most embarrassing moment.

    Hilarious -- this lens and these responses. LOL Well, one of mine is the time when I was telling an acquaintance that my newborn baby had been jaundiced, and that we had had to remain in the hospital an extra day for light therapy. Only I didn't say, "jaundiced." Just like my mother-in-law had taught my 18-year-old self, I had told the girl that my son had yellow jimees. The girl was a detective trying to find out what I meant. "Oh," she says, looking at me sideways, "You mean jaundice." ...Bonnie, why did you ask? Sheez!

    When I was about 10, I was tap dancing in a recital when I got to the part where I was to jump over my fancy silver spray-painted lunchbox, which I did - and promptly slipped and fell onto the seat of my pretty blue-and-white costume. I was totally humiliated, cried and ran off the stage. Still remember it, still get embarrassed. There are others, but you won't squeeze them out of me! (Fabulous lens, by the way!)
  • marsha32 Feb 10, 2009 @ 10:10 am | delete
    they happen all the time....and are pretty entertaining, although most of the time not funny when they are happening LOL
  • aj2008 Feb 10, 2009 @ 9:43 am | delete
    It's amazing how we cringe when we remember those moments. Like the time I was showing a small group of ladies how to apply makeup - I bent over and - oh my word...... - a "botty burp". I have never been able to bend over in public since then without worrying it will happen again. And that was 20 years ago!!!
  • Irenemaria Feb 10, 2009 @ 8:33 am | delete
    Barking down my nose at somebody that was very late for a meeting. Only to find out the clock had been turned into summer-time....
    Happened more than once acually =(
