    Another one from me and what is worse I did it twice!!

    I used to work in a supermarket and had been out the night before and was feeling really rough!! I was on the basket checkout (wayyyy before self scan ones so the queue was pretty big). Anyway someone came through with an item of clothing and of course, as you do I asked "would you like the hangover with that!" :eek: I was completely mortified and the whole queue obviously had heard and were either sniggering or looking at me in disbelief :o:o! The lady I was serving was phsl ans said "no thank you, you can keep that for yourself" (must have looked rough!!). Mortified!
    "That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad."
  • I'm Loving this thread....just what we needed on here:j

    I seem to have the "Embarrasing" inserted into my life.....i.e it always happens to me!

    When my youngest DS was about 3, his nan (Ex Partners mum) came round to see the boys as she did not see them that much due to me and partner being seperated, I had new partner as well, he was playing on the kitchen floor with his toy cars. I was washing up at sink making a cuppa when suddenely DS said ..."Nanny do you know what (Hubby) calls you....(I started shuddering at this point as hubby hates her) nanny turns round and says what does he call me darling thinking it was gonna be nice....DS turns to her and says...he calls you fat nanny hahahahaha!!! I was absolutely mortified!

    Drama xxxx
    :confused: I NEED TO CHANGE MY BAD LUCK RUN!!!!:confused:
  • I think my latest embarrassing moment was about 3 years ago when i was out celebrating a birthday. I drank a bottle of wine before i left home, and after a few shots and more wine, I was pretty legless and ended up being sick and laying on the pavement outside a pub *cringe*. If that wasn't bad enough it was only around 12 o'clock, and an ex of mine happened to walk past and felt so bad for me that he got a taxi back with me to make sure i got home ok.
    To top it all off, I went out to the same pub about a month later, only to get asked by the bouncer on my way inside if i was ok after last time, and would i be giving a repeat performance.

    Needless to say I gave up drinking for a good while after that!

    Farting, quite loudly, while giving a management talk on professionalism. That wasn't the most productive meeting ever.

    My mum always used to tell the story of how embarrassed she had seen a young student doctor feel when he was accompanying the consultant on his hospital ward round.

    In front of the team, he examined her tummy and asked about any operations she had had in the past. She told him about her Caesarian years before and a couple of others.

    "...and tell me about this scar here" he said, indicating towards her midriff.

    She had to gently tell him, whilst keeping a straight face, that that was the mark from her knicker elastic :D

    Oh, and another one - why not?

    I was on a business trip in Rotterdam and the managers went out for lunch. As I was served, I decided to use my pathetic knowledge of Dutch and said "Dank U" to the nice girl serving me. However, because of the lazy thing we have in English where we tend to join words that start with vowels onto the preceeding word I apparently didn't say it correctly, as one of my colleagues informed me - apparently, the way that I said it was akin to calling someone a cow.

    From that point on, I decided that any language where "thank you" and "cow" could be confused is a barmy one!
  • I noticed that my pet hamster had two small lumps. Took him to vet. Paid a fortune to be told "those are his testicles, madam".....

    I was standing by the soap in the supermarket where a man with a small child was letting the kid choose the soap for them . I asked "could you pick some for me too please? 'cos a I'm a dirty girl"
    Cue laughter from me and the Dad!
