Title: Embarrassing moments
Post by: albitz on 01 March 2011, 14:18:20
Time for a bit of fun I think. Lets all confess our most embarrassing moments. Those things which still make the cheeks glow red when just thinking about them years after the event.
Who is going to be brave and kick things off then ? ::)

This is easy for me!

I used to call a certain uncle of mine (now dead) "boring Bert" because, em, he was!! :D

One Sunday afternoon he knocked on our front door and my then 6 year old son opened the door and announced "it's boring Bert!" in a very loud voice!!

It was a frosty afternoon from there on in, and I never saw him again!! ::) ::) ::) :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

I have a very long list, but as I am about to go to the post office it reminds me of the time I did a Poo in the middle of the post office. I kid you not. :-[ ;D ;D ;D

I was only 37 at the time. ::) ;D ;D
I was actually about 3 or 4 years old (I can vaguely remember it ) my mum was chatting to another woman, I kept trying to tell her I was desperate to go, but she was too involved in her conversation to take any notice. She thought I was just whining for sweets or something. I reached the point of no return, and then she took notice. She did what any self respecting person would - stopped mid sentence, grabbed me by the arm and ran out of the post office as fast as possible. Never went back - ever. ;D

I did a similar thing in a swimming pool on holiday when I was 2/3.  I was with my mum who was at the pool bar parktaking in a cocktail or two.  I dont remember it but apparently the 'floater' was slowly making it's way across the pool and had the same effect as if it were a shark.  Within minutes the pool was empty ;D

My boy did this in Majorca last year  ;D ;D ;D

Thank God, nobody saw who did it and as Guffer says, it cleared the pool as if Jaws himself had been spotted  ;D ;D

We had to take a friends rottweiler to the vets once and whilst in the waiting room I slackened off her collar. When I was called by the vet, I got up and walked into his surgery unfortunately the collar had eased over the dogs head and there I was, lead in hand - but no Rotty - she was still sitting on the floor in the waiting room. Expecting to see the Rottweiler the vet - stifling his laughter - was nearly in tears when he saw the empty collar and quickly asked what the problem was. Once I realised she wasn't on the end of the lead - and trying to reclaim some lost dignity - I explained that she seemed to be suffering from a bit of a weight loss. I nearly died of shame when I slinked back into the waiting room to get her. Still it cheered everyone else up.   ;D

I once got half way through telling a joke about a very fat woman, when I realised that the person I was telling it to was not only an extremely fat woman, but was very sensitive about the fact.
I just stopped and made embarrassed small talk about something else instead. :-[ ::)

During an early morning search many years ago I pulled the mattress from a bed only to find that it was accompanied by an infant who was buried in the mass of bedding.

Later in the search, having moved downstairs, I sat on the on the same infant who had been placed by its caring parents - once again disguised by a mass of clothing - on the chair I had the misfortune of choosing.

On another occasion I was at a snooty dinner when a waiter tapped me on the shoulder and enquired if the firearm he was holding like a diseased rat belonged to me.  It did, naturally, and had slipped from the old waistband holster I had been using at the time.

When in the army i was on a training course in Northern Ireland, which consisted of getting talked at for 12 hours a day. I was the only redcap surrounded by a room of infantiers.

Whilst sitting in the middle of a large and very warm lecture room, surrounded by said infantiers, with the lecturer boring us, i decided to rest my head on my hand. I didn't know I had fallen asleep until I woke myself up with a large groaning noise. (You know, those weird noises you sometimes make when you're asleep!)

I was suddenly aware that all eyes in the room were on me, and what had happened, so i immediately just coughed and patted my chest to explain it away! Very embarrasing!

That's a clean one anyway!

Oh i've got loads. In the late 70s I had just bought Saturday Night Fever on cassette and was in my bedroom with it blasting out and I was giving it what for with the moves infront of the mirror when there was a knock at the window, I looked around and the window cleaner was pishing himself laughing. Bet you didn't know it was me that taught Travolta all he knows  ;D
