What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

beanymagoo

quite a few years ago it was my first day working for an electrical store. A middle aged couple came in and told me that they were looking for a dishwasher. I took them over to one and told them all about the special features it had and how much dishes etc could go inside. I think that they were at the point of signing on the dotted line when they asked to have a look inside. I proudly pulled the door open with a big grin on my face to reveal that I had just about sold them a tumble dryer. They marched out of the store in disgust while the other staff were in fits of laughter at my embarrassment.

When I was 18 I got a job as a barmaid in the local workingmen's club. I had this white top which I really liked that my gran had knitted for me. It was a fan and feather design (basically, it had a lot of holes).

One night I was assigned to the lounge area, which was quite quiet. There was an elderly regular customer who used to get just 3 pints during the course of the night.

This particular night, he came in at 8pm as usual. By 9pm he was onto his fifth pint! I couldn't understand why he was drinking so much as he struggled to walk at the best of times. Then I looked down and realized that I was wearing my holey white top and my nipples were sticking out of two of the holes! I hadn't put a bra on that night!

Luckily, the manageress was understanding and lent me a cardy!

Just thought of another one.

On my 18th birthday I went out drinking with my new boyfriend. Got very drunk and only vaguely remember the walk home.

The next morning I woke up lying on my bed, fully dressed with my shoes still on and my handbag still hanging from my shoulder! Boyfriend later told me that he had to ring the bell and when my dad answered the door he pushed me in the direction of the stairs! My dad commented "Well, you've obviously had a good birthday then!"

My most recent embarrassing moment was last year when OH and I went to a corner shop. OH dropped me off outside and said he was going to turn the car around. When I came out of the shop, I wasn't paying attention (busy reading a story in the paper), saw a green car identical to ours pull up in front of me.. so i swing open the passenger door and start talking to "OH". But as you are probably guessing - it was a confused stranger looking back at me. I apologised profusely to the poor guy and turned round to see OH sitting in our car in hysterics.. he almost had tears rolling down his face

When I was at uni I was working too hard in a weekend job (nightclub bar work so not getting home while after 3am) and I fell asleep in the middle of a lecture. At half time the group moved to another room and the entire group got up and left me there and I woke up later in an empty room... I then had to rejoin the group for the second half to much amusement from my coursemates

Oh DS4215, that reminded me of when I used to work for a hotel chain as a cleaner. I used to get up at 5am everyday to go to work and finish at 3pm. (Now) DH worked a 3 shift pattern so sometimes he would start work just as I finished, so I would have to wait up till 10pm to see him. Each saturday we would go to the cinema to watch a film and I started to fall asleep every time we went. It got so bad that literaly th lights would dim and i'd be out for the count until they came up again.

Well one particular time we'd gone off to watch some family film (it might have been Liar Liar, I dont know I was asleep) well halfway through DH nudges me sharply in the side. Waking up I hiss 'what did you bl***y do that for!!' He looked at me, leaned over and whispered, 'I had to wake you up, you were snoring so loudly the people behind us couldnt hear the film'

Got home from my hen night to find that I was back before my fiance who was out on his stag night. I decided to leave him a note inside the door along the lines of "hurry up to bed and ravish me".

Unfortunately he came home with all of his friends in tow.:o

Wearing very tight trousers (The Nolan sister, Sandy from Grease type)
at a school disco.
We all used to buy a size smaller, so they didn't have any creases and they looked sprayed on. I was about size 12, so had a size 10 on.

I'd been careful all night, no sitting down or gong to the loo.

Dancing and having fun, when someone threw a toffee at me and I bent down to pick it up.
The whole leg, from the crotch to the thigh split.
I froze and hobbled to the side of the darkened room and told my friend, help I have a migraine, get me my coat.
I don't know if anyone saw :eek:
I wrapped my coat around me and did a penguin waddle out of the room and went home

Okay, have had a good chuckle at some of these stories so it's only fair I share mine...

I had just given birth to DS1 and my family had been visiting us in hospital. I decided to walk down to the bottom corridor with them to see them out when they were leaving.

However.......no one had told me that the babies had security tags attached and as soon as I passed a door downstairs all the security alarms started going off and the doors secured, I had shut down the whole damn maternity unit*....I was mortified :o:o

I had a very similar experience when DS1 was born. MrsLA had had a hard time at the birth and was kept in for four days while she recovered. She was asleep when I visited and I picked up DS1 and walked out of the ward to the main door of the maternity unit. I just stood outside in the August sunshine for about 10 minutes before an extremely irate nurse appeared and told me in no uncertain terms about the procedures for abducted babies that they were currently in the middle of:o:o.

Just remembered another.

I live in quite a rural area, with hills/mountains etc and one day someone had gotten stuck climbing up one of the mountain faces. As my area is kind of small without much excitement, quite a few people had gone to watch the rescue. (There were two fire crews there, ambulance crew, etc). Myself and my sister were in our teens, and had also gone to look, but were being lazy and decided not to climb the mountain, but to wait and watch from a hill opposite.
Anyway, a few minutes after getting there, my hay fever decided to play up and i let out this huge super loud sneeze, that seemed to echo around the mountain. Apparantly some of the rescue team members and spectators jumped at the noise, stopped what they were doing, and turned around to see what the noise was.
If that wasn't bad enough, my wonderful sister, then decided to embarrass me further by pointing at me and shouting loudly "she sneezed!"
