Embarrassing Moments Thread

[The last sane person]

Okay, that second one is just terrible.

Embarrasing moment

I was younger and by brother had just been bragging about my skill at riding to a group of cousins. I was putting away the tack, and some idiot had let this young pony stay drop tied in an area where he should have been secured. I put my foot-unknowingly- in the coil of his lead rope and something scared him. I was dragged like you see in the old western movies a good length of the field right infront of that group of cousins. That stung my pride for about a week.

Then I challenged them all to a race and beat em.

Shows them right.

Well, I was in a play recently, and for one scene I was supposed to stay on stage. But instead, I just followed the person in front of me off stage. When I noticed I messed up, I just ran back on with everyone else. Luckily, the part I played was a group of people, so it didn't look as bad since we all went off stage. My mom said no of the audience noticed, though.

I've never had good luck with plays. In first grade, I was given the part of Little Red Riding Hood.
At least I was temporarily.

One time I had to play Hansel. I had to wear suspenders, too. But it wasn't a major play, so it was either me, or MB.

That's why I'm SO GLAD I can't be in a play without being in drama. What could be worse than acting? Oh, right, a trip to my grandma's.

I was at Costco and I accidentally bumped into this lady's cart, hard and suddenly. Then it seemed like they followed us about the store.

ACK!! So freakin' embarrassing. It just blows the cool image right out the window, and supplants it with goofy dorkish image. Instant Dork - just add snortling laugh.

Very true. Although I can't say I've had that happen to me in that type of crowd. My version would be an incredibly stupid high pitched laugh that erupts without warning. Rosie Gamgee knows what I'm talking about.

One time we were somewhere, and MB and I were arguing about something. I thought she was walking right next to me, and I yelled something to her. Then, I turned to see if she was there, since she didn't reply. Next to me, I saw two girls staring at me. I mumbled something like "Um... hi." then I quickly walked away, trying to look as normal as possible.
I had just met those people that day, too. Not a very good first impression. Talk about awkward.

Yeah! I know kinda what you mean. But for me it's different. Even if I think something is genuinely funny, my laughs sound so forced and fake.

My friend had a teacher who would go "ha ha, Just kidding!" And sign "J K" in sign language... She got really annoyed with this and her friends and her started going "Jesus Killer!" With the 'J K' whenever this lady would.... This was fine and funny untill later, she had a different teacher at a different place. She was the only one who realy knew that joke in the group... anyway. They had a sub and she did the whole "Ha ha, Just Kidding!" "JK" thing and she [my friend] went "Jesus Killer!" 'J K' In that funny, cheery way- The entire class stopped and started stareing at her. She was like "oh..." and started blushing.... She told me about it the next class we had together....

oh my god, i've got a bad one. i was in food tech in year 10, and i was cooking something with a bit of oil, then all of a sudden, the firebell goes off and the whole school had to miss like 1/4 hour of lessons! It terned out that they had a bloody firealarm in the actual room instead of the corridor.

... course, doesn't always work! - but when you go that bad - it's infectious - normally , one way or the other it manages to somehow rescue the situation - GOD! i love totally uncontollable infectious laughter!

I know someone who laughs all the time at almost anything. When she tries to hold in her laughter, she sounds like a whining dog! It's so funny!

Okay. Not my embarrassing moment, but anyway: at 4-H camp, the cabin I was with was doing ropes. There's this cable about half an inch in diameter that you try and cross only holding on to a rope. This one girl was going across, and she fell about two steps after she started. She was on her hands and knees, and it looked like she was crying. Then..... she snorted. And we all laughed.

This one doesn't seem very embarrassing, but it was. So... MB and I were altar serving a a funeral. Our church recently got a new priest, so he was introducing himself to us. He introduced himself to me first, and we shook hands. Then after a few awkward moments, he said "Do you have a name?" because I hadn't introduced myself.

[durinsbane2244]

and then you told him your name was pippin, right? right?

[trolls' bane]

That doesn't seem very embarassing, you're right.
I do that all the time.

But I have to admit, it's pretty embarassing when someone you talked to a few minutes ago asks how you're doing (i.e. a waitress/waiter, meaning how your food is doing), and you reply, "Good! How are you?"
