Need a laugh right now. What better than embarrassing moment. I have them all the time - like couple days ago walking into office. Pants I had on a little too big. Hands full & all of a sudden they just fell right off. (this happened few years ago to me with different pants on Elliott as I was walking my dog into Downtown Doggy Spa).
Twice in Hawaii - once guy showed me how to body surf;I did it but bottoms full of sand. Went in surf, shook them out & put back on. Not until I got back to hotel did I realize on inside out - black two piece and bottoms had big glaring white "panty shield" showing. Second time again body surfing & again bottoms got full of sand. Went out in surf, took them off, shook them off & as I leaned down to put back on is when I noticed I was surrounded by some snorklers. There I am in "all my glory"
So got one for me?

offlineMemberSounds like you really wish a clothing optional environment:
I was in a hurry to pick up some photos (this was a bit ago) from the Downtown Bartells, pulled my MC into a spot right in front (lucky me) checked the sign it said (to me) parking 4PM -6 PM, checked my watch 4:05pm ,Great, got my stuff came out and a parking enforcement officer was writing me a parking ticket, I spoke with her for about 5 mins but she just looked at like a puppy, head tilted, then she politely said that the sign really says NO parking 4pm - 6pm- I apologized, she said everyone has those days and gave me the ticket.

great idea
offlineMemberthat's pretty good RichY. I've never seen a sign that says when you CAN park there (don't think anyway).
I was teaching a class many years ago and realized that after bike commuting there I didn't have the more respectable looking clothing I intended on wearing. instead all I had was an old t-shirt, basically a 'crop-top' as it had shrunk over the years.
with no choice, I went to the classroom with my belly-button showing but none of the students made a peep!

offlineMemberI am old and have many embarrassing moments, speaking of teaching,
I was teaching at a Community College - both day and night class (nights were Monday and Wed), well it was my birthday and I was at the local bar/eatery (the happy hour free buffet was fantastic, dinner for a young prof) as I was eating co-workers, students stopped by and of course bought me a drink, about 3 hrs (and 10 or so drinks) later another prof said don't you have a class at 6:30 ? Shoot I did, it was a straight shoot to the campus (about a 2 min walk) went by my office, grabbed my notes went to class and lectured for the next 2.5 hrs (I think it solid state physics), glad that was over and took a nap in my office. OK about 1 year or so later some of my old students were talking to me about stuff, and I confessed that on my birthday I lectured while I was drunk, a student said I remember that class - cause you apologized for being a bit late - and that was the most coherent and clarifying lecture of the quarter.

offlineMemberBuffalo - you are too much
And RichY I did the same thing - only my car got towed & when I discovered my car gone, I called it in as stolen. That's when I found out towed. I looked at the sign again and sure enough, No parking after 4:00. That cost me a few bucks.
GI - Made a great visual of you in front of the class with your "crop top". Can you imagine what the students were saying afterwards? Who knows - maybe they thought it was "cool."
And RichY - what kind of dog in your avatar. So cute. I'm trying to get my kitten used to dogs so I can adopt a new dog. Miss not having my dog around but for now, this kitten is really filling the void.Posted 5 months ago # -

offlineMemberI am getting a food of moments:
A friend of mine would ask me to stop by a restaurant that she was having a first date at with a guy, the idea was I bump in to them say HI, I would say I just stopped by for a dink and am on my was, if she said sit and have dinner / drink with them - I was to stay and she would then say that I lived next door (or something) and she would catch a ride home with me so not to bother him, she did - he started to cry or whimper or something so that she said ok he can drive her,I went to the bar ordered a drink. I look up there is my friend with her date, His car was stolen, I ask where were they parked (don't know why, maybe because I thought he was stupid) said just in front of the restaurant, I smiled and said in the No-parking from 10Pm to 12Am zone - (the Victoria ferry docked next door and parking became pickup & drop off only)
She started laughing and said yes, called the # on the sign and found where it was towed to, she asked me to drive them (he wanted to take a cab).I do, she tells her date that she is going to have drive her home when we pick up his car - he is bla,bla bla - whatever. We wait to be polite, good thing - he did not have enough money, so he borrows it from me, we see him drive off, I take my friend home she telling me that this guy will not have a 2nd date.
Next day I get a call from my friend, saying that the guy put my money in an envelope and slipped it under her door with a note that said he did not think they were right for each other

offlineMemberRich - +1. So the date decides they weren't right for each other. Only if he knew the truth! But at least he was honest & returned your money.

offlineMemberThis happened long ago and in another state. On my first day on the job as a Red Cross volunteer in my local hospital, I was asked to get fresh water for the patients on the floor. Well I was to go room to room, gather the water pitchers, place them on a cart and refresh them, then return to the patients. When I got to the room with 4 adult men, somehow the 'water pitchers' looked different. By the time I got to the third man in that room to refresh his water, he pulled me aside and informed me that those were indeed urinals and not water pitchers! Being a total naive young girl I asked for clarification.
I never made that mistake again! It has brought me many laughs over the years!

offlineMemberA couple of years ago, I bought my hair dye in Bartell then went home to use it. I put it in, waited the 30 minutes, then washed it out. I'd like to interject here that it was during a very troubling time, and my head was full of "stuff". When I washed it out, I noticed that it rinsed clear. I hurriedly dried it and noticed all the gray was still there.
I brought it all back to Bartell and they agreed that it looked like it must have been defective, until someone noticed that the tube labelled "color" was unopened! They had changed the appearance of the tube of conditioner which now looked exactly like the tube of color. Sadly, I had dyed my hair with hair conditioner.

offlineMemberAunt Salad and Smartsy - I'm cracking up reading your embarassing moments. Sad to say I did the exact same thing, Smartsy, when I dyed my hair once. But thankfully as leaving to go back to store I noticed what I had done. Well at least our hair was well conditioned!!

These are good!
Long ago, at my annual physical the doctor said he needed to do a breast exam, so he called in the nurse for propriety's sake and began asking me whether I do regular self-exams. I said, "well, not as regularly as I should, but I try," a bald faced lie. He asks me if I know when is the best time for an exam. My reply? "In the evening." At which point doctor and nurse collapsed in laughter.
(If you are wondering, the correct answer is 3-5 days after your period starts. Any time of day is fine, but I suppose evening might be nicest especially if you light some candles and put on some mood music...)

offlineMemberI wasn't embarassed but my doctor sure was. Something showed up on my mammogram & I had to go back to see him. Now this doctor I'd seen for long time & we had a great relationship & I called him by his first name only - Dr John. During a visit he suggested a mammogram although never examined my boobs.
So I go back to him to go over results & he opened my gown to feel the lump. First thing he does is kind of flinch & I go "what?" And he says, " I never noticed you had such big breasts" (again this was kidding as that was the kind of relationship had with him). He's looking at the film & feeling all over my boob & goes, "It must be pretty deep, I can't find it." At which point, I said, "Dr John, you are feeling up the wrong boob." He said, why didn't you say something? I wanted to say "because it felt good" but said "well thought you were doing a touch comparison - which I really thought he was. Of course I told the girls out at the desk & a coworker who saw him. In fact he had appointment next day with Dr John & said what's this I hear about you feeling up your patients? The good news - it was only a cyst and nothing serious.Posted 5 months ago #
