What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

I remembered mine and I still cringe about it
Was visiting friends and we all went to a pub I hadn't been to before. Got chatting to a bloke (now my hubby) and I needed to go to the loo. So I had a peek around before I got up and spotted a door which looked like the toilets. So I got up and just went over and walked straight in. It was a longish corridor so I got to the end and was about to turn the corner and looked back at the door. It said "gents"!
So I got out of there quick but I had been noticed lol! My now brother in law was having a good laugh at me and I still cringe about it whenever I think of it....:o:o
I had a couple of bad ones as a child
when I was about 8 at school, I was sitting in the Library corner and a boy who everyone did not like was there too. Anyway, he was telling me how much he liked me and all sorts of embarrassing stuff and he actually kissed me on the knees! I was actually really annoyed by now. Just then the teacher spoke and I looked up and the teacher had gotten the whole class over and they were all standing there watching and laughing. I was even more furious then but really embarrassed too.
Same class, it was near the end of the day another day and I went up to the class teacher about 4 times and asked her if I could go to the toilet. She refused each time saying I should have gone at lunch. I was really desperate but then it was my turn on the computer. So I sat down to try take my turn. But I could not wait any longer and had a big accident on the chair and the floor. I was really really upset by now as I had asked to go and I ran out of the room crying past another parent who tried to ask me if I was ok as my skirt was all wet.BSC #215/No.1 Jan 09 Club0 -
I stopped the water ride at splash landings as I didn't grasp the need to lift my bum slightly so that the "tyre" could glide in the water. Had to be escorted by a life guard to walk the rest of the ride while everyone in the pool was being told over and over "this ride is broken"
In asda with my OH I saw that he was looking at a can of beer. I said to him "your not having that, you've got a big enough beer belly already" he turned and it wasn't my husband! I tried to say "i thought you were my husband" and "honestly I don't think you are fat at all"
I got covered in milkshake in Morrison's cafe. They give you a plastic cup which you have to push against a lever to get the milkshake out. After several unsuccessful attempts I really pushed hard and it ended up all over me. Had to go to the till with banana milkshake dripping from my hair and nose!
I had a slow puncture and couldn't find out why. I spend ages looking at my tyres but couldn't see a cause so I took my car to the garage. I explained to the mechanic who said "could it be because of that nail there" Exactly as the car had rolled up to him the nail was exposed. I felt about an inch tall!
Finally, my favourite that makes me laugh every time. My sister had to have some cells removed from her cervix. At her follow up appointment her consultant had a load of students round. As my sister lay on the bed with her feet in stirrups he exclaimed to the students "there's a trick to this" at which point my sister said "bloody hell, you're not going to pull out a rabbit are you"The Cabbage

Years ago OH and I were on holiday in Tenby with Bro and Sis in Law, who at the time drove a convertible escort. It was a glorious sunday evening so we dropped the top and cranked up the stereo posing around the town.
Not sure who's idea it was to drive down the narrow bank to the harbour but we went anyway. The bank led to a small chapel and a car park, the road was only wide enough for one car so once you were on the road you either had to reverse back or drive all the way down. As we got halfway down the road we looked at the people on the wall above who all seemed to be glaring, we could also hear noise. We muted the stereo and were amazed to hear singing...the further down the road we got we could see vans on the car park at the bottom with "BBC Outside Broadcast" written on them....
We'd driven right into the middle of fliming for BBC's Songs of Praise.0 -
Oh just thought of another as well....
I'd just given birth to DS, and, as Catholic tradition dictated needed him baptised before he was a month old. My Mother took us to see the local Priest and as I'm walking up the drive I realise I have dropped some tissues in a trail to the door. Just as the door opens and the Priest begins to greet me I realise the trail I've left isn't tissues but my many breast pads I'd been using to try and mop up the excess.0 -
I was at Flamingo Land last Summer, and I was queueing for the flume ride. I was queueing for over an hour, and I was desperate for the toilet. I got into the ride, and had no choice but to wet myself, but thought the ride would make it so it wouldn't be seen. Got off the ride, and realised my plastic mac I was wearing had just covered my groin, leaving a huge wet patch0

Took a load of books to a charity bookshop. One of the volunteers started rummaging while I was getting more bags from the car, and asked me if the new Delia was in there as she spied a cookery book.
I said, no, and she either misheard or just didn't listen, she shouted through to the back room, and 3 other ladies appeared, she then grabbed a book from the middle of the bag and as my OH stood in the doorway blocking my rapid exit with yet more books, she triumphantly thrust her hand in the bag and saying "one of our regulars has been after this... " yanked it out and then saw it was More Joy of Sex and definitely NOT Delia's new book...:hello:

The other posters problem with the milkshake machine reminded me of when I went out for a meal with an ex of mine.
I was sitting at the table in a restaurant fiddling with the plastic pot of butter when I pressed it too hard and it spurted all over my face and top. I then had to walk through the restaurant to the ladies to try and get all the butter and grease off me.0 -
Just remembered another...I'm a very nervous flyer (ie: scared to death!), and I was on a flight to France a few months ago. I got a seat next to a man and his toddler, who was scrambling all over the seats, and made me even more nervous. Since there were a few empty rows, I asked the flight attendant if I could move, so I could relax a bit more (I explained to my neighbour that I was very nervous and please not to take it personnally). So the attendant said "ok, can I help you with your bag?", to which I replied "no, I'm ok thank you", and proceeded to get up. As I did so, the long handle on my handbag caught on the arm of the seat, snapped, and smacked the man next to me right between the eyes.... I was soooo embarrassed and full of "sorry sorry!" that I got even clumsier, and when I tried to grab my luggage from the overhead lockers, I lost my grip on the handle and the suitcase fell on the same guy's head. By then, everyone was looking at me (even the man's little girl was watching me open-mouthed), and the flight attendant was getting red in the face from repressed laughter. I finally(!) plopped on my new seat, and had an uneventful flight, so embarrassed I nearly forgot to be scared! lol0

When I was about 14 we took our cat to the vets in the car. Not having a cat box, I was the one who had to hold him sitting on my lap. Puss got nervous and peed all over my skirt. After the trip into the vets, my Dad dragged me (minus cat left in the car) round Sainsburys to get our shopping with a cat-pee covered skirt stuck to my legs.......Make £2025 in 2025
