What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

Back in the day when I was inter railing around Europe i happened to find myself in Rhodes. I found a lovely little hotel down the coast, it was a way from the action so I decided to rent a moped.
I went into Rhodes town for a few hours and decided to stop off at a beach on the way back. I found this lovely little unspoilt beach so decided to stop.
I pulled up on my moped but instead of turning it off I revved it harder, it flew off a cliff, luckily I let go and was left me on my bum in the dirt. I ran down to the beach to find it had narrowly missed a load of Germans on their sunbeds, one of whom was standing there with his video camera, filming the lot, including the hysterical English girl running down the beach. I'm still expecting it to turn up on You've Been Framed or the like.
Needless to say I hot footed it off the island the very next day.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -

Again my lovely DS is good at making embarrasing remarks!
Pre Hysterectomy..... my mum came to stay for few days to help me out with kids to give me a break, so off I went out for day out with hubby, came back to my mum laughing well almost crying! DS aged about 2 or 3 followed my mum to the toilet, she went for a wee whilst DS waited outside, he then knocked on door and said ...Grandma, if you want those things mummy uses...they are in the cupboard!!!! !!!!!! he never saw me not once I swear!!!:eek:

I love this thread.
My most embarrasing moment was about five years ago. I worked at a company in our town, about a half hour walk away. Sometimes I would take the car and sometimes I would walk depending on the weather. One afternoon I came out of work and went to collect my car from the multistory car park, and I couldn't find it! I automatically burst into tears thinking it had been stolen - and two car park wardens started a search of the car park as I sat on the steps and sobbed.
After they had been gone for about ten minutes, I realised my car was tucked neatly on my drive at home, as I had walked that day!
I scarpered before the car park attendants came back!!The opposite of what you know...is also true0 -

I think I get my ditzy-ness from my mother
My mum and dad had pulled up at a corner shop and mum got out and popped in to the shop to get whatever she needed. On coming out of the shop, she got into a car- sat in the passenger seat- and actually went as far as reaching over to put her seat belt on - at which point she realised that she was sat next to a rather horrified looking bloke who was a complete stranger in the wrong car. My dad was parked facing the strangers car and was pee'ing himself laughing.The opposite of what you know...is also true0 -
I have got in the wrong car before too!
On holiday once with my BF I held up a leopard print thong, nudged him and said 'you would look sooooo sexy in that, you should buy it'
Except it wasn't him - It was an old man standing next to me!£608.98

I had spent the whole previous night in Casualty with a friend who was having an allergic reaction to medication, and had no sleep and only a brief shower before going to the clinic. The nurse kept telling me to relax, which was almost physically impossible given I'd been awake for 27 hours straight and was sitting in the stirrups. After the second attempt with the speculum, she complimented my pelvic floor muscles, but asked nicely if I could try once more to relax and not 'push it out'.
Success! Perfectly placed, on target and ready for the test and the nurse turned away to pick up the test stick. Then someone tried to open the door to the treatment room (which would have given them a direct view of my nethers) and in my sleep-deprived state it didn't occur to me the door would be locked. I tensed in fear, clenched everything and managed to actually shoot her with the speculum as she turned back to face me. I hit her in the chest with it - actually got the damn thing airborne. She jumped back and knocked the entire trolley of kit flying across the room.
We had to get a different nurse to do the test. She couldn't keep a straight face either.
Not my finest hour.
Funniest thing I have read. Ever. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
I have another one.
I was in my bedroom on the mini step machine one evening when my neighbour Pat knocked on. I opened the bedroom window and asked what she wanted and she said "Yvonne I don't mean to complain but your bed has been hitting the wall for over two hours and Dennis said he thinks your friend must have taken viagra!!!It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun0 -
My sister started work for a new lab based company and really wanted to make a good impression. She was also new to the area so was hoping that she would make some new friends at work. So, day three and she needs the toilet ... and quickly if you catch my drift. She went to the ladies and relieved the effects of the curry from the night before (and it was a bit gruesome apparently). Just after doing so a meeting of female colleagues had taken a break and were all using that 5 mins to go to loo. Oh dear she thought, but decided to jut sit in the cubical until they had all gone. Unfortunately though she had been wearing a pedometer as she was trying to loose weight, which lots of people had been commenting on, and it chose tat moment to announce (as she stood up to flush) that she had done a thousand steps .... At this point she knew that they all knew it was her, and to make it worse someone exclaimed "Oh Lisa, that's where you've got to, you've been gone for ages"I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be0
