Getting completely and totally drunk at the work christmas party a few years ago, to the extent that I actually passed out and have 2 hours missing from my memory of the night! But unfortunately I do remember sitting outside on a step puking my guts out, and then being sick out the taxi window all the way home
Oh, and someone else in the taxi had to get out with me and unlock my house for me, cos I couldn't work out how to use my key!
Wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't done the same thing all over again at the summer party ....:www: Saving for a deposit - Target £30k by 24/03/14 (30th Birthday!) :www:

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!I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be0

It was my birthday & I'd just finished work on a Friday night. I decided that I'd treat myself to something real nice to go out in that evening. I fought to get into one of those shops where they don't have a door (just shutters) & where all the clothes are on circular rails. Just as I was about to go in the shop a woman was trying to get out, so I stood back to allow the woman to get out. Well the ignorant great pig just shoved past me without so much as a thank you. I'll show her I thought as I let her have it with my right shoulder whilst at the same time hutching my bag upon my shoulder & thrusting myself into the shop. I looked around the shop but couldn't see anything so I left & made my way to the bus station. There was a very long queue, as I moved a stray shopping trolley out of the way my bag slipped off my shoulder, along with a bright red blouse :eek: I knew exactly what had happened, & tried to convince both the people in front & behind me in the queue that the bright red blouse belonged to them. It was now time to do the walk of deep, deep, shame as I held out the red blouse in front of me, stretching my arm out as far as possible, just so people would know what I was doing. In to the shopping centre I went, & into the shop to explain how I accidentally nicked the bright red blouse. The girl just slid down the wall laughing as I explained that I'd somehow managed to hook the blouse on to the handles of my shoulder bag as I fought to get into the shop. I crept out of the shop & back to the bus station. To make matters worse the bus was still in & they all knew. That happened more than half my life ago but God it was embarrassing at the time.0

On my first day at a Temp job, I set the back of my cream suit skirt on fire with from one of those heaters which had live flames on them, I was wearing BRIGHT PINK KNICKERS as well, I had to spent the rest of the day - sat down, and to add insult to injury it was at a car dealers in the Garage with about 30 mechanics !! Didn't get asked to go back - Funny really!!!0

Just remembered a more recent one, although I wasn't the one embarrassed
Me and my ex went into an Ann Summers shop, and he decided to have a look at the chocolate body paints. He picks up this white chocolate one, opens it to have a smell of it and somehow manages to squeeze out a big blob right onto his crotch area. I was in absolute stitches, especially as he was wearing dark jeans and when he was trying to rub it off and just smeared it everywhere. He had to walk out of the shop with a big white shiny patch round the crotch area!0 -
I have another one.
A good few years back before I had my car I was on the way to the bus stop and saw the bus coming. So I started to run and I was practically at the door when the bus driver closed the doors and drove off.
I could see people on the bus staring at me laughing so I just carried on running to make it look like I wasn't running for the bus, I was so embarrassed.It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun0 -
Oh god...too many to choose...have got 3
1. Me HUGE Liverpool fan, got chance to meet idols in the players lounge after a friendly game locally. Got 5yr old son in his kit and managed to get a couple of the players to pose with him for a photo. They sat him on the bar between them, he was loving it, then as I'm looking through my (borrowed) camera one of them told me it would work better if I took the lens cap off
2. Joining in all the screaming on a fairground ride when I was about 14...obviously too convincingly as they stopped the ride just to let me off. Everybody else was a bit annoyed - I just slunk away, didn't dare admit I'd been fine
3. Having taught my young sons that smoking is bad and can make you very ill or even kill, we sat at a table in a cafe (pre-smoking ban) when a man sat over in the smoking area and lit up. Cue youngest son saying VERY loudly 'That man's really stupid, he's going to die now'0 -

Could be worse. Me and my friend were on the way to the bus stop and turned around to see the bus coming up the hill behind us. It was a way down the hill at that point so we started running as fast as we could. The bus overtook us just before the bus stop but the lovely driver stopped and waited for us and as we ran up to it, completely out of breath, we realised it was the wrong bus0 -
1. I was running for a bus once when my skirt fell down! it was one of the few times that a bus driver actually WAITED for someone he saw running, much to the amusement of the rest of the passengers.
2. One morning I was late for a hair appointment and dragged my jeans on in a rush only for the previous day's knickers to appear slowly out of the bottom of the left leg in the middle of the hairdressers!
3. My 5 year old daughter won a huge ugly yellow teddy in a raffle which shed hair all over the carpet. We eventually managed to persuade her to part with it by buying her a new dolly and promising her Yellow Ted would go to a very nice home.
The very next week Yellow Ted reappeared outside our house blackened and limp strapped to the front of our bin wagon!0 -
Years ago, I was adopted by a stray cat that was absolutely lovely, but had a habit of getting a bit 'randy'. We assumed that he hadn't been neutered, so we booked him in to the vets to get him done. The big day came, we dropped him off ... only to get a phone call an hour later demanding that we come and pick the cat up. Turned out that he'd already been done and there was nothing there to chop ...
The vet was so angry - the cat had obviously put up a hell of a fight and the vets arms were covered in plasters lol. Cost me £75 and the damn cat still kept on humping the sofa.
