I got up this morning with this thought on my mind. Out of the blue, I began wondering what people's most embarassing moments were. So what has been your most embarassing moment and how did you handle it? I will start by telling mine.
Let me say a little disclaimer first. I was young, dumb, and definately doing or about to do something I should not have been doing. I was out with my boyfriend at the time. We had been to a little club that had dancing and a band. He suggested we get out of there so we proceeded to leave. He drove around a bunch of buildings that were all in a row there and parks in what appears to be a loading area for one of the buildings. To make a long story short, we ended up in the back seat. To my horror, after a few minutes I hear this pounding on the windows and lights shining in at us. They open the door and pull him out shutting the door again. I hear them yelling at him and I can see that they have him standing with his hands in the air. At this time, I realize that these people are either security guards or police and I really begin to panic especially as I see that they have a gun pulled on him. Now I am praying that they do not see me in the car all the while I am trying to quietly straighten my clothes so they don't see more than they bargained for if they do find me. Several times I notice my boyfriend try to reach down to zip his fly which evoked extreme agitation out of the man with the gun. That poor boys hand looked like a yo-yo. Every time he would start to put his hand down, they would wave the gun a little closer to him and he would put it back up again. Eventually, they took him into what appeared to be a warehouse and I sat up in my seat to breathe a little. It was not long before one came back out to find me. They ended up taking our names, addresses, and phone numbers and letting us go when they finally realized what was really going on out there. There had been a lot of break ins lately at the warehouse and someone had been vandelizing the trucks by slashing tires and such. They thought he was leaning into the back seat to get tools out for breaking in and vandelizing the place.
I often thought that this was God's sense of humor at work here. How He must have chuckled to Himself over that one. He has a way of keeping his sheep in line. He certainly prevented me from doing something that I should not have been doing and would have regretted later, and I definately did not try that ever again. As a matter of fact, I never went out with that boy again. It was way too much excitement for me to handle.
Now it is your turn. What embarassing moments can you think of?

well.......I either didn't hear that or I forgot...
There we were on the field of a packed stadium and I marched out 15 yards rather than the shortened 5 yards and I stood out like a sore thumb....
I had to run back to get caught up to where I was supposed to be because by the time I got out the 15 yards and turned around, they were way across the field.
I was super duper laughed at !!!!!!!
but because I was a class clown, it was not so bad for the ego. LOL
I posted a gather article about throwing up in a job interview.
I also burned my treehouse down when I was a little kid and the fire department came and put it out. The story made the local paper.
I totaled a car during a bad winter storm a week after I got my license and that picture was in the storm roundup on the front page of our hometown paper.
The second one was in high school and we were all dressed nice for the evening pagent that we were going to be a part of...my dress wasn't long as the style was short shorts and mini skirts and I had one a short pull over dress...as I was going up the stairs to the second floor I tripped and fell, my books clanging loudly and drawing everyones attention to my dress hem up and my white school girl panties showing.....everyone laughed at me and were heard saying "ONLY HER could fall UP the stairs".....LOL...*sigh* I have tons more, my hubby doesn't call me LUCY as in Lucille Ball for nothing....I guess. :0)
I guess I'm lucky that he waited for me and didn't just take off. But he did just that when we got to my apartment's parking lot. He opened my door, shook my hand then peeled rubber.
Now, humiliations I can recount endlessly, ha ha. Like getting hit in the chest with a softball in gradeschool and almost passing out from the pain, yet stoically stomping off the field. ( I was the only girl in my class with breasts.)
I'll have to think about which story to tell and get back to you.

God Bless
That was my one and only thing I can remember.

God Bless you and yours always D.......................
The second one - my boyfriend - now my husband - and I were at a state park in WI one day and we were in what we thought was a private area of the park and we were well, busy, and up walks a couple right next to us! You've never seen two people move so fast!!!! We decided there is no such thing as a private area to a state park. LOL
I, too, have volumes of embarrassing incidents from which to choose.
Here's one:
A few years ago, we were doing some painting in our home. I was talking to some friends at my daughter's Catholic school about the painting. One of the ladies asked me how much I was paying the painter.
Since my husband was doing the painting, I said "Oh, I don't pay my painter. I just sleep with him." I laughed, but my friends looked uncomfortable. With a sinking feeling, I turned around to find our priest standing behind me.
What a classy guy! I fully expected him to drag me off to the confessional, burning cheeks and all, but he just smiled and said "Hi, ladies."
I hopped out to my car, to try to extract my foot from my mouth before my child came out of school.

This really has made for some fun reading. Thanks for the entertaining post!
TJ, why did you wear your mon's clothes to school?
Lydia, what is the chances of them pressure washing the sidewalk when you need it. Talk about luck.
Amanda, I am sure the kids were laughing the rest of the class. I am sure you did not get much teaching done that day.
I have a story. .Very embarrassing. As a teenager working in a Super X drugstore as a cashier I got to know some of the customers fondly. One elderly petite sweet woman who I always chatted with and gave discounts to came in my line just after I had just been yelled at by a customer who was irate and unreasonable for a product that wasn't in stock. I politely gave him his receipt for what he did purchase and he left. But I had still been thinking of that confrontation while I rang up her items after that. I was upset of course, but when I handed the receipt to her, instead of saying "Thank you", I said, 'F--k you' to her by accident. She was stunned! So was I!
Funny.... For me... .it was when I was in the parking lot of the grocery store, had gotten a shower and my clothes were in the dryer, not done yet so I had on a dress I hated and no undies. You guessed it, I got out of the truck and the wind grabbed my dress, flew it up over my head and I mooned the world!!!!!! I swear I never felt so horrible in my life! I got back in the truck and went to another store! LOL
