What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

After boarding a flight on the way back from a holiday in Goa, I entered the toilet because I had the dreaded Delhi Belly, but because I have performance anxiety, I couldn't 'let go' although I really had to. They were ready to take off and the air hostess was banging wildly on the door and shouting her head off asking me to come out, but I just couldn't. Finally she warned me of dire consequences and I had to, and I had to walk back to my seat with every one watching. It was sooooo embarrassing. Needless to say, I rushed back to the loo the minute the seat belt sign went off after takeoff.0

Thankfully I was only about 8 or 9 yrs old when this happened so didn't feel embarrassed at the time. I was at 'Saturday morning pictures' with a friend and we went to the toilet just before going home . When I came out my friend had a packet in her hand and said she had put 3d in the machine thinking she would get some sweets, but instead got this 'thing'. We both had a good look and decided that because it had 2 loops it must hook over your ears and keep your face warm. So that's how I ended up walking along the high street with a Dr Whites sanitary towel across my face!0

I was in Ann Summers with my mate treating myself to a new toy (was recently separated). Got to the till and the cashier asked if I would like any batteries to go with it and my mate said (rather loudly) "yeah, like 10!":beer: Been smoke free for 4 years!! :beer:0

Oh god here goes......
I lived with mum and dad whilst doing my a-levels. I used to get a bit stresses, and do this crazy thing at night where I would kind of sleep walk but semi-consciously. Sometimes the next day I would have vague recollections of some things I had done.
One day I woke up to find dad in the loft, and mum looking in the phone book for a plumber. I asked what the problem was (they were due to go on holiday the next day).
Mum said that dad was in the loft checking for a leak, because they had woken up that morning to find all their holiday clothes wet through on the floor, yet they were mystified because the ceiling wasnt wet.
Cue awful flash back of me squatting for a pee in mum and dads room! I vividly remember thinking why were my feet wet (i thought i was going on the loo)!!
I had to confess to give them time to rewash clothes. Ive never lived it down!
Im just glad they didnt wake up while I was doing the deed!!:o:o0 -

Oh god, this happened to me too. I threw on some jeans to go to the shop and was walking down the street when I felt something sliding down my leg. They weren't even nice knickers, they were big ugly ones! I crumpled them up and shoved them in my pocket as quickly as possible hoping no one had seen.0 -
Just remembered, when I worked in a shop, I got my feet tangled in one of those things you put baskets in, and fell head first through a doorway! It really hurt, and I had to jump up and pretend to be fine.0

another bus story..
a couple of weeks ago I was catching the bus to where my DH was playing cricket. I've been there a few times, but don't know the way very well so was a little worried about getting off at the right place. I knew his friend lived on the RHS so when we went passed his house, I dinged the bell and made my way to the front. The bussy asked if I wanted the stop that was about 20 yds ahead. It didn't look right so I said no, it's the next one...it was actually 3 stops and about 2 miles away..I had to stand at the front of a very full bus but luckily the driver was lovely about it!0 -
Early days in a new job, where I had a very senior role, and I was looking after some very important clients. They gave me an urgent request, which I thought was strange, but I thought better ask my new colleagues if we could oblige.
Walked into the large open plan Sales and Admin office and asked "Do we have an incinerator? My client wants to burn some CDs."
never lived it down....
(do hope someone doesn't understand why this is funny, then I'll feel better. Still cringe when I think about it...0
