Loveeeeeeee this thread !! The first year i came to live in the UK, after a found a job and found out about routes etc ( we live in a rural are) i took the bus to go to work... the bus stopped i paid for my ticket £3.20, the very next day my boss asked me to go to work, at the same time, i got ready, went to the bus stop, this time it was a different bus driver and i had a £5, i gave his the money and he told me he did not have change, this was the school bus ! Oh my god, i apologized, but cos i was wearing jeans, a hoody and a backpack they thought i was a a school girl... i was 25 years old!.. i could not for the life of me look around, all teenagers, of course the day before they were there too, but i just thought it was because of the time ?/ i am very like this, all the time, my life is an embarrasement, my oh laughs so much. And on my defende it was the bus number follow by a S, nothing special, no a diffferent color lol.Mejor morir de pie que vivir toda una vida de rodillas.0

Years ago I was on a bus with my cousin and our friend coming home from a shopping trip. The bus driver was a bit eager and everyone on the bus was getting jossled about as he drove what seemed to be a little erratically.
My cousin and friend were getting off the bus a stop before me so they rang the bell and started making their way to the front of the bus. The driver braked and the bus lurched forward. I looked up to see my cousin lying in the aisle with her skirt hitched up, knickers on show to the whole (packed) bus and my friend lying on top of her! They shot up and scarpered as soon as the doors opened.
I thought I was going to die laughing.0 -

The vet ones reminded me of a friend whose cat had lots of ticks. The tick treatment wasn't working so she took him to the vet, who informed her that she was trying to remove the cat's nipples.They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm.0

I've remembered another one.
I was at work when a customer asked to borrow a pen. I reached into my inside pocket and handed her a tampon to write with. The look on her face was a picture.0 -
Was at a large gathering with all my family. It was official so there were people wearing name tags and ds1 aged 5 and ds2 aged 3 were having fun going up and asking lots of people their names from their name tags. Anyway ds2 spotted this lady sitting down so went up to her and said "what's your name" and noticed she had no name tag, so he grabbed her blouse and peered inside to see if he could find her name tag. She laughed thankfully but it was a bit embarrassing.BSC #215/No.1 Jan 09 Club0

I went to Disney Paris with my 2 grandsons & my daughter & son in law.
We went into the 'Honey I Shrank the Kids' ride which turned out to be a 3D film. We sat in the front row & after a bit these white mice looked like they were leaping from the screen. I am petrified of mice & I was convinced they touched my legs. This happened twice & I just screamed & screamed. Couldn't help myself. It was probably a special effect of some kind that could only be felt if you sat in certain seats as my daughter who was a few seats away felt it as well but unlike her mother didn't scream. Was about to run for the exit when it stopped thank goodness.
My SIL looked at me as if I was mad. The children were fine and luckily it never gets mentioned about how nana showed herself up.0 -
Oh this is great! Sitting at my desk at work, in walks my boss with a very important potential new client to introduce to me. Client is walking across the office with his hand outstretched and I realise I have kicked off a shoe and it seems to have disappeared under the desk somewhere.
My options are to dive under the desk and find my shoe or get up to meet him wearing only shoe and hope he doesnt notice.
I went for the first option but the look on my bosses face was priceless!
Oh and then there was the time I took the car to the garage because it was making a funny noise and there was something stuck in the air vent!!!0 -
Oh and in a very important meeting at work someone asked if I had a tissue and I pulled out a pair of my sons underpants instead. You know when you are potty training and you never go anywhere without spares??0
