What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

make_me_wise

I was travelling business class to New York last year. Picked the short straw and was sat next to this arrogant, extremely rude little man. He kept clicking his fingers whenever he wanted a drink, food etc. He was running the air stewardesses ragged.

On his last attempt at doing this an absolutely stunning looking stewardess came down the aisle and walked passed and ignored his finger clicking. When he got abusive she walked back to his seat, knelt down, looked him straight in the eyes and said 'It takes more than 2 fingers to make me come Sir, wait your turn'. It wasn't said quietly and the rest of the cabin heard it, stood up and gave her a round of applause.

Not embarrasing for me but he certainly looked very red faced and immediately stopped being such a tw*t.

Oh God, I have another.. I just remembered.

Whilst walking down the road with my four year old sitting aloft my shoulders, we were discussing age. As various people past by us she would ask me if I was older or younger than them. A little further down the street a dark skinned African man was walking towards us, She then asked me if I was older than him, to which I replied "He looks about three to four years older than me". She pondered on that for a second before then asking me "Daddy, will your skin go dark then too?" Just as he was walking past.

reminds me of my friends story...
when she was a little and lived in a place where seemingly there were very few people who weren't white, she was queuing for the bus with her mum and saw a black man. she said to her mum 'mummy, why is that man so dirty?' her mum was mortified and quickly told her in hushed tones that some people have different skin colours etc and her reply was 'oh. if i was that dirty you'd shout at me'

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 did that with my rabbit!!!

One winter my housemate got dressed up smartly for an interview, with a tailored knee length skirt, smart jacket, black tights and court shoes. As she went haring off down the street to catch the bus, I was bemused to see a long black tail flapping in the breeze behind her. It turned out that because it was so cold she had decided to wear two pairs of tights, but had not put her right leg through the thin pair of tights, just the thicker pair. (She didn't get the job; to this day I don't actually know if she actually made it to the interview).

Something that my partner was a little red-faced about...

I was on a trip to Frankfurt and during my time there my partner's wireless network apparently shut off and she couldn't get access to the Internet (very important for her). After a rather panicked phone call about it, I told her not to send it to the repair guy because I'd catch an earlier flight back home and fix it for her. I was due to leave on the Saturday after a rather snazzy work do on the Friday but because she was in need I caught the flight out on the Friday afternoon, thus missing the work shindig.

I got back home, picked up a few bits and bobs like a spare router and my laptop in case I needed them and went over to hers (this was before she moved in). When I got there I was able to connect to her network straight away on my laptop, so I took a look at her laptop and found the little switch on the side that turned the wireless connection off and on, and sure enough, she'd set it to the off position.

I could only imagine the laugh a computer repair guy would have had about that, no doubt charging her £50 for his trouble!

Being told I am 14 weeks pregnant today.
I asked how did that happen.

9 year old DD had seen a condom machine in the ladies toilets in the town centre and asked what they were. I couldn't put her off till we got home, so I explained truthfully and as sensitively as I could in a low voice. Her loud reaction in the middle of M and S was:

"That is soooooo clever! Wonder who thought of that!.........Pause..............THEN :eek:........WHY WERE THOSE CONDOMS FLAVOURED THEN IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM?"

When I was at uni I turned up on the first day of a class to the appointed lecture theatre. The prof came along and told us all that the room had been changed and we had to move to another room on the floor below. I packed up all my things, grabbed the can of pop off the desk and headed out with the rest of the group (about 100 students I had never met before) to find the new room.

While walking down the stairs, near the front of the group, one of my knees just gave out and I fell down the flight of stairs...I could have stopped myself if I had dropped the can of pop in my hand but for unknown reasons I held on to it (and didn't spell a drop).

I still cringe when I think of it.

I also once fell over for no apparent reason what so ever whilst walking through a busy shopping centre...one moment I was standing and the next I was on the floor. I got back up quickly and kept walking....hoping no one had noticed!

Am I going mad? Didn't that say 8 year old DD a minute ago?!
