We all know each other quite well know, through chats or "getting to know you", and through posts. So i thought why not share each others embarassing moments.
As i have started this post, i'll start first...
Like today, i faced utter humiliation taking part in our annual swimming Gala. This is where teams of four get together for some swimming competition.
So i thought i'd finally take part this year. Last time i did take part (four or five years ago), it had been a nightmare, i got in to doing four laps, by the time i did the second one everyone had finished and were waiting for me. The teacher told me to get out of the pool in mid way, put a life jacket on me, and then told me to swim in the rest of the races that way....
Anywayz, so this year i get all, I WILL PARTICIPATE, and try to do it. First they tell us to get in the pool and warm up. So i get in a do two laps (50 meters) and come out all exhausted already...(i am fat and chubby so i get tired easily....).
I come out of the pool (nearing drowning in the process of coming out), and i walk over to the benches feeling slightly dizzy. Then i sit down and try to relax and calm my running heart beat. I then feel more dizzy and so put my head on my knees and try to relax.
In that process i passed out, yup, passed out, everything went white and i felt myself falling off the bench and people going "saadia, whats wrong", me openning my eyes and everyone watching me and.... :oops:
This happened today BTW, and i have never passed out before. I thought i was stronger then that.....
Well, now your turn guys....go ahead, spill your GUTS

Leave your thread alone for awhile. Somewhere along the way someone (survey says Sid, most likely) will have something really embarrassing happen, and that person will think, "Hey, I can write this in Saadia's thread! Boy, I'm glad she started it."
Give em a chance to make fools of themselves. This thread will take off. :lol:

Thanks for the support Sid :D .
I'll leave it alone for a while and wait.....
waiting....
waiting....
ok ok, i'll follow Sid's advice and leave it alone!

Okay, I have been watching this thread, and frankly am too embarrassed to put my embarrasing moments up here. I'll just let Heather share some of them with my friends on MSN (love you Honey!).
Instead I'll share someone else's embarrasing moment.
My business partner, Michael has a 3 year old daughter. She is bright and he likes to play learning games with her. So out of the blue as they were driving she points out that the sky is BLUE. THen asks how you spell blue.
She is just learning her letters and so Micheal spells it for her with her repeating each letter...
"B" he says, she echos "B"
"L" he says, she echoes "L"
"U" he says and she echoes "U"
"E" he fininshes and she ends as well on "E"
SO he goes on to spell other colors as she points them out on the road. "The Grass is green!" she tells him. so they spell green together "G-R-E-E-N".
"The sign is red" R-E-D
"The Sun is yellow!" "Y -A..."
He stopped. "That's wrong, honey, lets start over..."
"Y-E-L-O...uh, thats wrong too."
She saw something else and saved him, "The car is brown!"
"B-R-O-W-N"
They didn't try yellow again but they did spell a lot of other colors over and over.

ok, this isn't exactly the most embarrassing tale, but inspired by Saadia's tale of passing out, I will say when recently I came close.
Last friday, we had our school jabs for tetenus and something else. (yay, now we can go and impale ourselves on rusty metal objects with out fear of contracting tetenus.)
ANyway, that morning, as per usual I was late out of bed, and so only had a cereal bar for brekkie.
Now our class are up for their stabbings during our first break, which is when I usually eat. So instead of my usual nutritious food *ahem* i was stuck with only a polio sugar cube.
This means that it is now nearing 12:00 and I still have eaten nothing, through no choice of my own. WE then have science. Ok so this doesn't sound funny, but I was already light headed and all my friends were making me laugh.
We were doing energy sources, and I mentioned wind power, but inquired into whether it had a posh name, like sun power is 'solar' power. Totally spurring off more hysterics, My science teacher continued to re name wind energy as 'windy power' and geothermal (note the already long name) into 'hotty groundy'.
SO now I was laughing my head off :lol: :lol: :lol: , feeling extremely light headed, and un able to stop my hystericality. I tried thinking serious thoughts but was reminded of a friends friend trying to do the same thing, and couldn't stop laughing even through her serious thoughts and ended up saying
"my parents are dead.. hahahaha.. ok, ok, my parents are... hahahaha"
which made me laugh even more. My friend bequi then started singing the jabberwocky which did not aid the situation.
By the end of the hour long lesson, I was verry light headed and my knees had started to go. It was then 12:45 and I nearly passed out before I could stuff my face with chips and the likes.....
ok after looking at this, It really isn't very embarrassing... just funny that I went through an entire hour really light headed.
but then today in Statistics I had to define swearwords :fist: for my illiterate friends. Plus the teacher was listening. I ended up actually blushing, which I hardly ever do.... :oops:
ok I'm done spilling, but I felt a need to help Saadia on her campaign! hehe...

Ok, this is actually two embarrassing moments, one from a few years ago, and the other from last Saturday.
First off, I have a niece who lives with me, as many of you already know. When she and my son were much younger, we used to let them watch Austin Powers. This was back before they understood all the nasty things that happen in those films. So, anyway, one day the whole family was sitting down to dinner at a local IHOP. It was a weeknight, and the restaurant was pretty much empty. Cade, my niece, was about 21/2 or 3 years old. We had the entire non smoking section of the restaurant to ourselves. After we ordered, two men came in and sat at a table across the room. One of these men was very large. We were sitting, the grown ups talking, when all of a sudden, my little neice stands up in the booth and starts pointing excitedly at the two men. She says, loudly, "Look, Daddy, it's "Fat Bastard". My sister and I started to laugh hysterically, but my brother in law was mortified.
Ok, here's mine. On Saturday, we all went to the local Renaissance Fair. We went our separate ways, all armed with cell phones. When we were ready to get back together, I called what I thought was my friends phone. When "she" answered I asked, in a very provocative tone of voice, "Wanna hook up?"
I was answered by a confused man. I had dialed the number wrong.

Ten years ago, I was running a one-shot session of Call of Cthulhu at my friend's house. We were sitting cross-legged on their floor. Throughout the start of the adventure, I noticed my players were looking uncomfortable. Here I was trying to describe the monsters their characters were facing, and they were struck by a monster in the real world. You see, I was wearing my tight light-blue jeans with the holes in the crotch, and my gnards were hanging right out.

... Thank you for that Sid... My friend Becca, walked into school today with her skirt tucked into her nickers at the back. SHe then continued to walk past all her fave boys completely oblivious to her underwear situation until she was informed about it sometime later....

Thanks guys for adding some embrassing moments. Being the "embrassed girl" as i am, i'll give yet another embrassing story of myself. I usually have a voluntary service where i have to go and assist a teacher in helping a "green unit" (that is a junior section a kids who are "special"!), do drama.
Anyway, before the kids start to act, they have to do warm up exercises (you know, roll your neck to the right, lift your arms, do sit ups, etc).
The teacher was almost done and told the kids to lift their right shoulder. I was also following the exercise, setting an example to the little kiddies. Anywayz, so i am doing this and the teacher looks at me and clears her throat. I don't pay much attention. Then she clears her throat once more. I think, *well there must be a flu in the air of something.*
Then the teacher whispers to me (which was quite loud for a whisper) "Saadia dear, the your RIGHT shoulder."
I suddenly realise i've got my left shoulder lifted rather then the right one! :oops: Talk about setting an example!

How about this:
I was at work alone at the front desk and decided to cut a fart. It was one of those eye-watering farts. And it wouldn't go away. It was like that cloud in Star Trek that ate your red blood cells. It wouldn't go away!
Then a customer came in. I quickly walked to the other end of the front desk, hoping he'd follow me out of the line of fire. But the chemical warfare had begun. It followed me too! I couldn't escape it. And I knew it hit the customer, because he stepped back and kept his questions short.
Then I realized:
Whenever I don't want to talk to customers, I simply start cutting farts!
