I swore I could smell gas one night about 10pm, called out Transco who said to open all doors and windows and wait outside. It was raining but we stood outside anyway as I'm very safety concious. When they turned up they couldn't find a gas leak and said that our gas meter had ran out of credit so there wasn't no gas even coming into the property . Turns out it was bleach I could smell from where I had been cleaning.

Four years ago I had a breast augmentation. Before I had the op I had taken lots of 'before' pics and then after the op a load of 'after' pics to compare the two.
They were all uploaded onto my new laptop.
A few months after my op I started a fantastic new job and used my laptop a lot for it.
During a really important meeting my laptop was open while we were all chatting away and I happened to glance at it.
To my absolute horror my laptop had decided to run a rather fetching slideshow of all the pictures of before and after!!
I have no idea if anyone in the room saw it before I managed to slam the lid shut but if they did they had the decency not to say a word.
Still cringing!

My most embarrassing moment

It was hot in Duty Free at Grotwick and 17 yr old me had a cold. I fainted and hit my head on a perfume counter just as our flight was being called. I was taken off to hospital on a stretcher through thousands of people in the airport -embarrassing enough. I tried to pull the blanket over me and was told " Don't do that love or people will think you're dead".

After I got the all clear my mother and I got a bus back from the hospital. We were checked in to fly on a later flight and as it was very hot and stuffy in the airport I promptly fainted and hit my head on the luggage conveyor belt at the check in desk.

My father insisted that I went on the flight and to this day I have no recollection of getting from desk to plane. They put me right up the front on my own where they could keep an eye on me (I later realised that I had had concussion).

Fast forward to the following day we were invited to drinks in the next door villa. They were telling my parents about their horrible journey, how all the luggage was taken off the plane and searched because luggage had showed up and the passengers hadn't and I was sitting there in a corner getting redder and redder:o

I managed to invite a complete random to my birthday party. I sent out an invite on email and copied and pasted some names from some other emails. My friends boyfriend Ollie emailed to say he'd love to come but didn't think he could make it that night as he had something else on. I replied saying 'Oh but you've got to come won't be the same without you.'
Fast forward to the night in question and about 20 friends turn up to the restaurant. A strange man was there, about 20 years older than anyone else, I was wondering if perhaps it was an acquaintance of someone who happened to be in the restaurant at the same time. Anyway he sat down at the table and I was on the verge of asking him who he was, when he gave me a card and present. Bemused, I opened it to read a lovely birthday card saying happy birthday love from Oliver.

I had never met this man before, he had a similar name to my friend's boyfriend and I'd cut and pasted the wrong name from an email a friend of mine had circulated to a lot of people some months previously!

He joined us for dinner, joined in the fun, never said a word about the fact that he didn't know me or anyone else at the table and neither did I.

We had a great evening!!!!

System

I've remembered a drink related one, was rather sozzled and thought it would be a great idea to dance on the speaker whilst wearing heels. Needless to say i fell off in a spectacular fashion in front of everyone..including the bar staff who after that refused to serve me (i've now gone down in history as the only person to be refused service in that particular club)

My OH once 'lost' her car. She went into town and parked in the multistory and went shopping.

When she got back her car wasn't there, she thought she'd gone to the wrong floor so spent some time walking between floors looking for it.

Eventually she decided it must have been stolen and called the police who sent someone over.

The nice policeman started to ask her questions so she went through events telling him she'd arrived, driven up to the second floor and parked just there where that white Puge............. at which time she remembered that we'd swapped cars that day, I'd got hers and she was using my white Peugeot, which was parked exactly where she left it.

Oh how the local constabulary laughed :0)

My turn...
Some years ago when my DD was about 8, DS was 6 Granddad died. As he was the first death they had known, we decided a simple, honest explanation was the best policy. We explained about the death and as it was to be a cremation, explained about that too.
So we all went to stay with the MIL for a few days to help out. ex OH & I were due to take MIL to funeral directors for her to view the body. DD & DS were given the choice of staying behind with a relative or coming with us, not to see the body, but they would have to be very good & quiet etc.
The funeral directors were in a large converted Victorian villa and DD & DS had been excellently behaved whilst MIL went to say goodbye to her husband.
Just as we were leaving, MIL sobbing quietly into her hankie, holding on to my ex OH, sombre staff escorting us along the hall corridor to the door, when from upstairs comes a very strong smell of very over done toast. Staff were obviously upstairs having a break & a snack.
My ex OH casually remarks "oh, smells like something’s burning..."
….to which DD pipes up "Oh! are they practicing for Grand-dad?"

When my friend's DD was about 2 we took her to the toilets in ASDA while it was really busy. They were in one cubical and I was in the one next to it when I hear in a really loud voice "Mummy, why do you have a hairy bottom?". My poor friend had to come out of the cubical and face about 12 people queuing!

This reminded me of a conversation I had with my mother when I was 3 or 4ish.

Me: 'mummy, why do you have a hairy noo-noo?'

Mum: 'to keep me warm.'

Me: 'oh, I don't need that then because I wear knickers.'

2 things i can remember -

When I was at Uni lived near a B+Q and my friend had a party. Ex BF and I were bored so decided to go down the side of B+Q and things got steamy. Just as we were finishing I looked up and saw the red light of a security camera filming us! Went back into the house with a red back (from the gravel!) and friend asked why my back was red so I said I had moonburn!!

I took a friend shopping to the local supermarket. Did our separate shopping then went to find him. As i approached he starting yelling 'Stop, stop! The restraining order says you can't come near me!' Everyone stopped and looked at me. He found it hilarious!
