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.

I went on that "ride" just a few weeks after it opened. The effect of the mice running thru the audience worked by air blowing out of the seat thru a fine "tail" of plastic. The effect was row by row, and I was sitting at the back, and watched as row after row of people shrieked and/or jumped out of their seat. Of course it only worked if you were wearing a skirt or shorts, those in jeans didnt feel the wave of mousies!!!! When I went back months later, a lot of the plastic tubes had been stolen/removed, so it wasnt so funny!

I spent several minutes in the centre of Manchester trying in vain to unlock my car while being watched, from about 20 yards away, by a policeman. It was only when he walked up and asked me what the problem was that I looked around and spotted my, identical (and not very common), car parked immediately behind the one I was trying to open:o:o.

Fortunately he saw the funny side of it.:)

This happened to my OH's dad years ago - he and his four-year-old daughter are queuing in a very busy chippy on a Friday night, when she turns to him and loudly says "Dad, can I have a look at your willy?"

A relative of mine was queueing in the chippy with his young son when the little lad looked up at him and said "Mummy says you're a sexy beasty".:rotfl:

Love this thread!!
Ok..In my summer hols during Uni, I did a job that involved driving round to lots of farms collecting grain samples. Usually I had a van to do this in, but on this particular day I had the bosses estate car as the van was being repaired. I went to one particular farm where the farmer was very chatty. So chatty that he was still talking to me when I was walking back to the car and put what I had collected in the back of the car, so I was trying to be polite and talk back to him as I opened the door to the car to get ready to drive away......and went to put the keys in the ignition at which point I realised I was sitting in the back seat of the car, not the front, drivers seat. What that farmer must have thought of me..:o

My most embarrassing moment was 2 weeks before our wedding.

I slept in the nude then and in the middle of the night my Husband yelled out that the car had been stolen. I woke with a start and legged it out of the bedroom only to find my soon-to-be father-in-law standing there gobsmacked. I had forgotten that they were going fishing together at dawn and his Dad had come to collect OH!I don't think I will ever make eye contact with him again!

My Hubby has had a list of cringeworthy moments with a couple we are very good friends with. He tends to 'zone out' when playing xbox etc. The boys were on the xbox and I was talking to my friend about what music they had chosen to record onto the dvd of the 3d scan they were having for their baby. She put the song on the stereo and admittedly it wasn't really our taste but Hubby piped up "this song is so sh**te!".

Second time with the same couple in their second pregnancy, the same senario, girls chatting boys playing xbox. My friend had just discovered they were having another girl and we were discussing names. Their favourite was Lucy. My Hubby hadn't heard the rest of the chat (in his defense) and said "we liked Lucy too until Jules said Lucy-loo and now Lucy reminds me of the toilet!"

Thankfully they took both comments well and Hubby was very apologetic both times and we are still friends now after 7 years. Insidently they chose Jessica not Lucy! Tact has never been my Hubby's strong point and we usually avoid the xbox whe we visit so he isn't distracted!

My friend has just reminded me of her worse embarrassment ..

We always used to have a girl's night out on a Friday night and one particular Friday night we all got completely wasted. My friend lived only 1/2 a mile away from the town centre, on a busy main road, and decided in her very drunken state to walk home on her own. So .... she remembers leaving the club and the next thing she knows she is stark naked on her bed being woken up by someone shaking her. She opens her eyes and see's two police men - apparently she had got home, stripped naked and fallen asleep on the bed, but left her front door wide open and the police thought she'd been burgled and had come in to investigate!

I've remembered another few:o

My husband and I live in a pretty rural area with no immediate neighbours. It was a weekend (summertime) and we had been at either a wedding or some sort of function. When we returned it was very late and we simply got undressed and went to bed. Sometime during the night I awoke and realised all the security floodlights were on. I tried to wake hubby but he was dead to the world, as usual!

Anyway, at the time, there had been a number of break-ins on neighbouring farms so I thought I should go and investigate and off I went and retrived the shotgun from the cabinet before heading outside to see what was happening. I had a complete tour of the house and grounds, finding nothing, before returning to the house and heading back to the bedroom.

When I got back hubby was now awake and, on seeing me arrive back, asked where the **** I had been. I was a little narked at his lack of action and, proclaimed I had been outside checking for intruders (at this point I was still clutching the gun, which wasn't loaded) while he was sleeping. Between fits of laughter he asked if that was how I had been dressed - at that point I realised I was stark naked bar for a pair of very sparkly killer heels which I'd been wearing earlier and a very scary looking shotgun.

To this day I still don't know what would have happened if I'd met an intruder - they may just have run for the hills at the sight of me.:eek::eek:

The other embarrasing moment which springs to mind wasn't me but a close friend who is very short sighted. Like me she lives in a rural area with a quiet country road next to her house. She was gardening at the side of the house (so actually in the lane) when she saw a car approaching. She was expecting her husband home at the time. so thinking it was him, she leapt into the centre of the road in front of the approaching car, grabbed the garden hose which was nearby and proceeded to blast the windscreen of the car while jumping about like a lunatic. Imagine her horror on discovering the occupant was not her husband at all and he was absolutely drenched, having had the drivers window fully open. He was actually lost and was slowing down to ask her for directions! The thing that amuses me most is the fact that the friend in question is hardly a youngster but a "mature" retired 70 year old. Some people just never grow up!

I've just read the whole thread, and am still giggling to myself. I hate to read and run so will post my latest embarrassing moment.

Me and OH had been out to lunch and the friend had served rather large portions of Sunday Roast with all the trimmings (Pork with stuffing, Mash, Carrots and Brussell Sprouts). I have a rather small appetite but not wishing to offend I forced the lot down.........then the rather heavy Trifle she served for dessert.
On the way home I said we needed bread and milk so OH stopped at our local corner shop, parking in the little car park.
I got inside the shop and could feel those bubbly sensations working thier way downwards......I hurriedly got the bread and milk and left the shop, but the bubbly feeling subsided.
I nearly ran to our car and noticed a white van had pulled up alongside and the driver was sat there on the phone with the side window down........just as I grabbed the door handle I let out a massively loud fart (it startled even me) and I just yanked the door open and jumped in the car yelling Go Go Go to OH - who looked at me in amazement.........then said 'Jeezzus CRhist, did YOU do that'? I glanced over to my left and the white van driver was cranking up the window and obviously gagging! I said to OH 'just get out of here'. By now, he was laughing hysterically and hitting the buttons to wind ALL the windows down.
I couldn't help it - I started giggling too but that made me fart like a machine gun! OH was laughing his head off and we drove home with all the windows down (quarter mile drive). unfortunately, as we got to the turning into our street we could see there had been a car accident, no-one appeared hurt, but I am sure we must have appeared really insensitive as we were sitting there waiting to go around them with us both howling with laughter (I was still farting and the smell in the car was horrendous)!

Late night at my new boyfriends parents house... we had just *ahem* sealed the deal when i suddenly felt really sick. Managed to say "sick" and give him time to grab the nearest thing to him, his brand new Gap hoody... proceeded to throw up in the hood of it. Then spent the next hour on the bathroom floor with him holding my hair back whilst i puked - his parents had woken up by this point and kept knocking on the door to check we were okay.

Fast forward another hour and i felt a bit better. Decided to drive home so he came downstairs to see me out to my car... was walking down the driveway,turning round and blowing kisses to him when i caught my foot on a bit of wonky driveway and fell !!!! over t*t and flat onto my back. Bad enough, but who should be getting out of their car at that moment, but boyfs sister and her partner who i had yet to meet. Nobody came to help me up as they were all cracking up so i sort of just lay there on my back, on the drive until boyf picked me up! Scampered off to my car pretty quick i can tell ya!

That boyfriend is now my husband so (God knows how) i obviously didnt put him off!

My mate really embarrassed me today. I had been to the Tigers match and afterwards I was standing waiting to see rugby boy, and to pass the time I was chatting on the phone to her. I was using my Galaxy S2 and its really loud, despite me turning the volume down. I remarked that one of the players she likes was walking along the corridor and he had his arm in a sling. As he walked up to the door of the dressing room, it went really quiet and just at that time she decided to yell down the phone 'Oi Ant, if you fancy making another trip to Newcastle I'll make you feel better!' Cue several shocked looks from the people surrounding me and as he disappeared into the dressing room, he grinned. Oh the shame... I wanted the ground to swallow me up!

I've had several rugby related embarrassing moments. I was watching Nottingham play and I always sit in the front row. The ball came sailing over in my direction at a fast rate of knots and in a split second it became immediately apparent it was likely to hit me on the head. So I put my hands over my head, ducked down and squealed loudly as I heard a loud clang as the ball thankfully hit the metal bar in front of me and bounced over my head into the crowd behind me - who all burst out laughing!

I was watching Nottingham play Worcester, at Worcester. First match I had ever been to away from home and was with posh mate so was trying to tone down my usual exclaimations However, Rugby boy got into a scrap and I was screaming at him to stop (as I usually do) unfortunately just then it went absolutely silent and all you could hear was me screaming my head off going 'Thomas! Leave it will you!' All of a sudden the whole stand burst out laughing. My mate who had never been to a rugby match before thought it was hilarious but I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole!!

Last one. I went on the supporters coach for the first time to watch Nottingham play Bedford and when I had got on the coach, I had needed the loo but only mildly so I thought I would be fine till I got to Bedford. Without thinking I then necked back a bottle of Fanta, and as we drove into Bedford it became apparant that I wouldnt be able to wait so I went to the coach toilet. The toilet was tiny and Im a big girl, and I had just sat down on the loo (with some difficulty I might add ) when the light went out. I managed with the light on my phone (I didnt have a smartphone then so had to keep frantically pressing the button) and I was just pulling my trousers up when the bus turned a corner and stopped, and I heard voices up above me.
I began to panic then, thinking we were at the ground so I better hurry up. I hastily washed my hands and tried to open the door - but it wouldnt budge. I tried again but it was stuck tight. I had visions of missing the match and being stuck in the tiny coach loo so really began banging hard on the door, I managed to force it open a tiny bit and was trying to catch the attention of the two blokes sat at the top of the stairs, shouting 'I'm stuck!' but they clearly couldnt hear me, so I gave it another mighty pull and thankfully it flew open then. As I went back up the stairs the two blokes burst out laughing and said 'Get stuck did you love?' Needless to say, as soon as the game was finished I spent 10 minutes in the loo at the ground making sure I wouldnt need it when I got on the bus again!!!
