Has anything ever happened that made you want to crawl into a hole, and pull the hole in after you?

I have most definitely had an embarrassing moment like that....and believe me, it was a DOOZY!!

Sorry I can't share it....I'd get modded to hell and back and probably kicked off the entire TVCH board (or maybe the whole internet!!)

I got one....
Summer 1995
Swimming party, bathing suits, barbeque....what could go wrong?
Plenty
I got my burger and went to go inside the house. Well you see, the ground was slippery and I began to fall. My burger fell off my plate and onto the ground just as I stepped on it, slipped, fell smack on my butt, hit my head on the sliding glass door. That ain't even the worst part...
I landed with my butt on the burger.
Needless to say I had a nice brown burger and red ketchup stain on my white shorts! Everyone, and I mean everyone, saw it. It was a crowd pleaser for years to come. :-(

At my old job, we had an interoffice email program set-up.
A co-worker/friend and I got to playing a game where we would send each other spelling errors we received in emails from other people in the company, and we would joke about them.
One day she forwarded me one from a friend of ours who was a HORRIBLE speller. I clicked the reply button and wrote my amusing comments.
Totally forgetting that the way it was set up, when you replied, you replied to the original sender. So, my "amusing" comments regarding the friend's spelling went directly to her!
So, I got myself and my other co-worker into a hole. We apologized and cleared it up, but needless to say, that ended our little game!

I've told this story before but with such a large crowd, I'll tell it again!
We were at a water park in Texas and the family didn't need to go to the bathroom, so they would wait outside the bathroom for me. I go rushing in and before I realize what's up, I'm about 10 feet into the men's bathroom. Did you know they don't have very many stalls! I came running out and there sat my family and a bunch of young men laughing their arses off!

Same day: My dh and I were in the giant wave pool, I turned around, placed my hands on his shoulders and just as I was getting ready to wrap my legs around his waist, he pulled away and turned around, umm...your not my dear husband!

I can relate Denece,
At a party, my guy was wearing a white T shirt and blue jeans...and so was just about every other guy there (must be a kind of uniform among men) I went up behind a guy who I thought was my boyfriend, grabbed his butt. Whoops, wrong guy.

Rache, too funny! Hey, welcome to tvclubhouse!

Another embarrassing moment:
Grocery shopping with one of my dd, I went over to the milk and picked up a gallon and put it in the bottom of my cart. Then I heard from a distant my daughter who was pushing the cart say "mom!" I looked up to find that I had just put the milk in another ladies cart and she was looking at me with a funny look.

I was the team leader at work with three guys on my team. We were all pretty close. One day I had on a dress with a very cute, flippy skirt. The only problem with a cute flippy skirt is it has lots of extra fabric, so if you accidentally get the back of it tucked into your panty hose, you can't necessarily feel anything out of place.

So I was standing in Curtis's doorway talking to him on my way back from the bathroom. As I turned to leave, he said, "Uhhhhh, Juju, you better fix the back of your dress." Now, had Curtis been of a complexion that showed red, I am sure he would have been beet colored as the very devil of amusement shone out of his eyes.

Later that day or the next we had a team meeting, and the other two guys kept kind of giggling and snickering. I knew immediately that Curtis had squealed me out. So I fessed up and then went on to explain (exaggerate and lie) that it hadn't been so bad having my skirt tucked into my pantyhose. The bad part had been Curtis asking me to go around to the mail room and get his mail and bring it back to him, and then go fetch him a cup of coffee from the break room before he told me about the skirt. Curtis was just mortified. Hah! Got him back!

OK, I am still mortified over 20 years later when I think of my most embarrassing moment, so maybe writing this out will help.

I was a Freshman or Sophomore in high school. My friends and I would write "stories" about the guys we had crushes on (I think you'd call it "fan fiction" these days.) I passed this story I wrote off to a friend. She was stupid enough to read it during one of her classes. I try to be funny and it works -- she's laughing out loud! The teacher notices and asks her to share the note with the entire class. She reads it aloud to them. Now, the story doesn't contain a lot of names, but mostly nicknames, so I should be okay, right?! No, she then tells people who the nicknames represent.

One of the girls threatened to "kick my a**" if I referred to her as "mop head" again. Okay, her hair DID look like a crusty old mop!

The guy I had a crush on didn't even know I existed. It's not like these were my friends. I could have killed her. I really thought I was going to die of embarrassment. After school the guy starts walking over to me in the parking lot. I just screamed at my friend to get in the car and leave! We did and I survived. Barely.

In the story I wrote "and John was being nice for a change". Well, of course John had the locker next to mine. Torture every time I had to go near it. After the story came out he asked me "Do you really think I'm mean?" I bravely looked him in the eye, said "Yes" and walked away. He never bothered me after that (he suffered from short-man syndrome).

That doesn't even sound that embarrassing, but you know how teenagers are. Hmmm...I'm not feeling any better about this yet. Maybe I'm destined to feel bad about it forever!

Okay okay....I'll try to clean it up.

It was 1972 and I was 21 years old driving my VW bug from Texas to California with my girlfriend (this was before I was out of the closet). We were in the middle of absolute nowhere...flat country with nothing as far as the eye could see. Since we were young and adventurous, and so far away from anything approaching civilization we got a little "frisky". My gf was doing her best Monica Lewinsky impression for me as the car sailed down the highway under my increasingly decreasing attentiveness.

Then...right at the very peak of this experience...I mean at that exact penultimate moment...that point when no one wants to be interrupted, there was suddenly a shadow over the driver's side car window, a loud horn honking and pickup full of young cowboys just hootin'' and hollerin' and screaming with glee (at US of course....no one else was there!) such intelligent things as "Yeeeee-Hah!" and 'WooHoo!!", and "Go man, go!" They were laughing and looking down from their big pickup which was the perfect size for a perfect view right down into my car seat! I made some unintelligible noise of pleasure/shock/fear/embarrassment, my gf screamed and jerked her head up banging her head on the steering wheel, as I proceeded (to put it delicately) "make a mess" all over the place...and it was all I could do to keep from losing control of the car! Apparently, my gf's Lewinsky impression was so good, I had just not noticed this pickup full of good ole boys coming up from behind. I have no idea how long they had been there watching!

I managed to pull over on the side of the highway and stop without killing anything but my dignity! Of course, the cowboys just continued laughing and cheering and sped off on their way to some hoot 'n nanny or honky-tonk or whatever...and my gf and I sat there in stunned and shocked silence for a second or two before we practically died laughing.

I was just happy that nothing got bitten off and that this happened far away from home and was not witnessed by anyone that I knew!

Okay...satisfied? :-)

PS - This was a very stupid and dangerous thing to do...so, kids, please don't try this at home!

Hippyt - It's amazing what a person can do when he's gay and forced to live undercover in an intolerant society. I still feel guilt over letting that relationship get so far over the line before I could bring myself to come out of the closet....I knew all along that it just didn't fit into who I was, but I didn't have the courage to tell her until we'd lived together for a year and a half. It broke her heart and it robbed me of my self respect.

(Btw, I knew this would come up...one of the reasons I didn't want to tell the story....so let's not dwell on it...this is a fun, lighthearted thread. But it is a funny story!)

Don't you worry, SanFran, your embarrassing story is safe with us. We won't tell a soul. Excellent story! Hahahahaha!!!

Gay guys, girlfriends, 60's, 70's, not all that uncommon. My first serious boyfriend was gay. I'd give anything if he was still alive and living with his gay partner in San Francisco.

Hilarious story Sanfranjoshfan - thanks for sharing!

On my 3rd date with my fiance' I spent the weekend at his brother's house. I was still extremely shy around everybody - even my fiance'. He left me to go do something and I was having an almost panic attack. I went in search of him and found him sitting on the couch, so I sat down quickly and laid my head on his shoulder. My fiance's 8 year old neice then said: I don't think my mom is going to like you if you kiss my daddy. I looked up and it indeed was my fiance's brother. Everybody had a good laugh [though I ran to the bathroom at least 5 times that afternoon/evening and cried]. There's 4 brothers and they all look similiar. Except of course I got the cutest and sexiest! *L*


Sanfranjoshfan not trying to dwell, but you wouldn't be the person you are today without all the good and bad experiences from the past. What a person chooses to do with these experiences forms their future. You have grown from your experiences. I don't know you but from what I have read you seem to be a kind and caring man.

Hippyt - You didn't make me feel bad....my telling of the story just brought up some old guilt about that relationship. In any case, no biggie...I just didn't want the thread to go off on a tangent about that serious stuff! :-)
