What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

My ex got a brand new mobile phone and he charged it up ect and complained that the phone wouldn't turn on or anything. So I rang up the company he bought it from and complained on his behalf, they told us to take it back to the shop he bought it from and they will repair or replace the handset.

What a piece of embarrassment when the shop assistant said "it's not working because you haven't taken the plastic wrap of the battery".

The word laurel and hardy sprung to mind.

I've had a couple of moments that were frankly quite stupid.

When I bought my dining stable 11 years ago, the central leaf couldn't be manipulated. It turns out that there was a block of wood underneath that needed to be removed...it didn't say that on the instructions but I was embarrassed as hell when I discovered this as I was given a replacement table top! The furniture guy made light of it and said "I can tell you don't dust underneath your table". Who does that?

I gave him a packet of Bombay mix for his trouble.

I once farted accidentally during a particularly agile exercise at a swiss ball class. It wouldn't have been so bad, but there were only 3 of us there so it was pretty obvious that it was me! :eek:

I have another one.

I came outside of work one day and saw a puddle under my car and thought petrol was leaking so I called the AA only for the man to tell that I had parked on top of a small puddle of water caused by the rain

I think my worst moment of embarrassment was when I was getting off of a packed bus I seen a neighbour sitting in the middle of the bus, as I passed her I went to say hello but instead let out this all mighty, loud hi pitched squeal. My Wife thought it was bloody hilarious and I hi-tailed it off the bus as quick as I could, my face redder than a post box.

Finding the perfect glass topped computer desk in my local MFI and going back a a few days later to buy it, only to find it had disappeared. It wasn't where I saw it on the shop floor, the staff had no recollection of it and couldn't find it, they looked though their catalogue and were adamant they didn't have a glass-topped desk.

I all but accused them of lying and got quite squeaky angry and all high-pitched, then stalked out empty-handed leaving a wake of confused shop staff behind me.

It was only when I got home I remembered the desk was in John Lewis.

Never showed my face in that shop again.

I was embarrassed the other day when my 13 year old, who has learning difficulties, pointed out that a man sitting near us in a cafe had a big red nose. As it happens, my son also has other disabilities and one of them is very poor clarity of speech, so I don't think the man understood my son - but his wife did :eek:. She agreed with my boy :rotfl:

I have another one - as a teenager, on a crowded commuter train I made my way to a vacant seat having stood for about 1/2 hr. Unfortunately the train got going again and then stopped suddenly - so I fell squarely into someone's lap.

I was a glamorous young thing and on reflection don't think he minded

I worked as a flight attendant pre-kids and did the safety demonstration at the front of the plane. It was a "manual" demonstration, so we had to stand there and put the life jackets on, turn round and show how to tie them and turn and point out the emergency exits. You then go straight to the passengers to check the seatbelts and secure the cabin and the first person I got to was a priest (really) who wispered to me that my skirt was unzipped and my red knickers were on show!

I bought a dress for a wedding, which was in a highly unusual place so all the local tv crews were there.

At 1800, my mum phoned me to ask why I was parading around almost naked on the six o'clock news........

Mental note was made to try on new dresses in future in daylight not dimmed shoplight.

I was on the bus last week, and grabbed the hand of my niece and pointed to the cows, saying Moo, Only to remember that my niece was not with me, the gentleman next to me said 'oh how exciting!' never allowed on the Chester Park and Ride bus again!!
