I wish I lived in the US so I could enter your competition
I was giving out my Christmas Presents to my friends, and a couple of the girl’s weren’t there. So I walked up to their Dad and asked, “Could you give these to you girls?” He responded, “Well, my daughter is off in college….” oh my gosh. I felt SO awkward. He WASN’T their dad — I went up to the wrong guy. I still feel bad to this day.
my embarrasing moment is when i tripped and fell really badly in the middle of the city street. there were so many people and i couldn’t hold my face up. i trip easily but this one was really embarrassing as all my things from purse fell out…. and made such a mess!
This one should count as double….
! I had just been to the eye doctor for an exam. I walked out to my car and realized it was unlocked which was odd to me because I always lock my door. I got in, shut the door, and noticed that there was a computer on the passenger’s seat. I did not remember it being there earlier, but thought my husband had just forgotten to take it out. Suddenly, I remembered that I had NOT parked right in front of the doctor’s office in front of the HUGE office window where EVERYONE could see me. I was in the wrong car! I could not get out of there fast enough. I could not believe that I had just done that and prayed that the owner was in with the doctor having his/her eyes examined. Upon leaving, I looked at the car as I drove off in my own car. It was exactly like my car 
! I later found out that my husband had done the same thing, but his story is a bit different. He actually tried to start the wrong car and almost called AAA to troubleshoot the problem. At some point he finally realized he was in the wrong car, too. We no longer have that car 
!
This has happened to me too! Years ago i was driving my mother’s mini-van while my car was in the shop. I had taken my 3 year old niece and my 8 year old nephew with me while i did some chores. My last stop was to get a quick nail fill at my regular salon. On our way out i opened the van door and saw that my niece’s carseat was missing. I started freaking out thinking it was stolen. Then my nephew saw that his toys weren’t in the van either and started freaking out with me. Lol. I was about to call my mom when the salon manager came out laughing and pointed to my mother’s mini-van parked two cars over. I felt like such a fool! The whole salon was staring at me (as i too was parked in front of their giant window) and laughing. It took me a while to go back there. Lol.
is it bad that I’m really not easily embarrassed? call me shameless.
but I may have been a liiiittle bit embarrassed while trying on prom dresses in high school. the fitting lady dropped the front of my dress, and all the worker men saw plenty of me from the window.
awesome, right?
Ordered dinner in with a guy I just started dating…I was so focused on what sushi rolls I wanted that I completely forgot to include his order in the dinner..
The one that always stands out in my mind is falling in the cafeteria in middle school during snack time. Everyone, and I mean everyone was laughing! I fell face first and it was so horrible….
Oh I want to win!
Most embarassing moment was probably when I was a freshman in highschool. I was on the soccer team, and one of our games was in freezing weather. We all had warm-up pants on. Well, I got called to go in the game and I whipped off my pants, not realizing I whipped off my shorts too. I ran onto the field like that. Seriously. Thank GOD for tighty-whities underneath or I’d have been in straight out underwear.
most embarrassing moment? When I was weightlifting after class in high school one day and I lost my balance while doing weighted squats and toppled over backwards. The worst part was a bunch of upperclassmen, including guys witnessed the whole thing. I was mortified. I cried. I never went back into that weight room again.
I follow you on the Twitterbug.
And I tweeterbugged about it
.
I wore black pants with a zipper in the back to my friend’s wedding. At the reception a friend came up to me laughing about how my zipper in the back is broken and she can see my bright red underwear. To make matters worse, I tried to fix it-which I did for a little bit. Then the whole incident happened again. Thankfully I didn’t live far from the reception hall because I was able to go home and change.
Hmmmm…embarrassing moment. I’d have to say the time I got into my Mom’s passenger seat in white pants, drove all the way to school for a football game, and realized that I had a coffee stain (from the coffee my Mom spilled earlier that day) all over my butt! Luckily my friend had an extra pair of shorts in her locker.
Hm, most embarrassing thing ever…I can’t really recall one moment. I don’t really worry about things after they are done or said. I mean, if I am embarrassed it’s just for a moment. Maybe when I fell UP the stairs in high school one year. During passing period. When the staircase was FULL of people. I went SMACK and popped right back up, hoping no one noticed. FAIL. Haha!
Following on Twitter!
I tweeted!
My most embarrassing moment.. hmm.. well recently I posted a picture from my classroom regarding a friendship jar I made.. where students would win a coupon when they were a good friend and enter to have lunch with me on Friday. The picture I posted.. had a hand written note by me.. and there were some major grammar errors. It didn’t make sense.. at all. I felt so silly.
accidentally sent a naughty text message to my mom instead of my then-manfriend. thank god she is technologically inept..when she called to ask about it, I said “oh yeah, ive been getting some weird messages like that from some of my friends, too. must be a virus” she bought it. PHEW.
i know this isn’t really an embarassing story, and it didn’t happen to me, but I thought it warrants for posting if you are looking for a laugh: one of my friends was dating a guy for a while and he still lived at home. on the eve of their dating anniversary, she snuck into his room and put chocolate kisses all over him in bed, accompanied by a love note and other gifts. The poor kid was so drunk, that when he woke up the next morning, he thought he pooped the bed because he rolled around in all the kisses and his body heat caused them to smear all over the sheets. hahaha, gets me everytime!
After having a baby, nothing is embarrassing any more! I did mistake the pressure from the baby for um, another kind of pressure. I even insisted that the nurse get me up so that I could use the restroom! Ok, so that’s a little embarrassing…
This happened a few years ago, but the memory is still…so fresh. My family goes to Cape Cod, Mass every year and while there my dad always takes my brother and I on a bike ride down the rail trail- a 20-something mile (at least it felt like that) biking/walking trail.
On out way back, I fell far behind my dad and bro. Taking my precious time, I leisurely peddled back to the house we were staying at. What I did not notice was that I had passed my dad and brother at a rest stop. When I got back to the house, I was the only one home, but I figured everyone had gone on a walk or something. No big deal.
Well, apparently it was a big deal. My dad and brother had not noticed me biking past them at the rest stop, and were worried- it was talking too long, even for me. My dad stated to panic and was asking strangers if they had seen anyone who fit my description, and he soon caught the attention of a police officer who was worried I had been kidnapped. Soon all of Cape Cod was searching for a 17 year old girl wearing a pink helmet and a shirt with a big smiley face on it.
Luckily, they searched the house before the state troopers were called in. They found me on the couch reading Southern Living.
Two weeks later, I got lost at a concert.
I’m not sure if I could come up with just one embarrassing moment…at times, my life is just filled with awkwardness! Take, for example, this weekend: I was riding the metro home with three shopping bags full of food. I wasn’t really paying attention, and apparently the train had stopped before the actual stop, and I ended up tripping over myself when the train started again only to look up and see a guy completely cracking up at me. And then once I got off the train, I somehow managed to trip while going up the stairs. Oh joy.
Definitely when I walked into a glass door when I was a camp counselor…in front of ALL the kids
I was on a school field trip in one of those huge mansion-houses and there was a big full-length mirror on the wall. I thought it was a doorway to another room and nearly walked into it.
I was at the Holiday Inn visting a friend in Panama City several summers ago – and I grabbed my “suit” and changed to go to the beach and the pool. Upon changing in the pool cabana I realized I had not packed my swimsuit bottom, but a pair of underware that was relatively similar instead. So what did I do… marched right out to the pool with hundreds of others to spend the day in my swimsuit top and underware. Quite the moment! :]
Most embarrassing moment? I really don’t have one. I know, I know, no one believes me. But i hate that question because I never know what to say! But i would like some stevia
The first embarassing thing that comes to mind is when I was in a fitting room in a store where the music was so obnoxiously LOUD and I was trying to tell my mom, who was a few feet away, that the top I was trying on was too small. She couldn’t hear me even though I was speaking sooo loudly; my little brother had been standing around and he heard me, so he wanted to be helpful and relay the message. He ended up shouting “SHE’S TOO BIG FOR IT, IT DOESN’T FIT HER!” at the same moment the song ended and it was silent… I still laugh about that because it was hilarious, everyone heard him!
[...] Yes, I Want Cake [...]
When I was 13 I started my period on my crush’s couch. Bled all over the white futon cover. It was my first period and I thought I was dying. I pretended like I had a wound on my bum so he wouldn’t know it was period blood. Now I can’t help but laugh, but I was absolutely mortified.
Oh dear lord, prepare to puke:
I was skiing and had to pee so bad but I was on top of a mountain in the Canadian rockies and 45 min ski ride from a toilet. So I peed in my ski suit.
I literally pissed myself.
Sign me right up! I’d love to play with this stuff.
A most recent embarrassing moment….I lost my balance and fell off the exercise ball while doing abs at the gym. Also, in third grade I went into the boys restroom and changed into gymnastics clothes and didn’t realize I was in the boys restroom until I came out and everyone was laughing at me. I was devastated.
I’m doing a vanilla giveaway too (not sugar free though)!
In high school, I had a crush on a guy in my photography class. In the classroom, 1/2 was benches with stools to work on projects and the other 1/2 desks. He and I were the only ones at the benches and everyone else was reading [uh... so it was COMPLETELY quite in the room] at the desks. I got up from my stool and my foot got caught and all i fell. All the stools clashed together making a beautiful, loud clatter. I ran into the dark room… Oops. We never did end up dating…
I guess it would have to be the time I accidentally went into the men’s restroom at a restaurant. I walked in and saw the urinals along the wall and it took me like 10 seconds to realize that they were there because I was in the WRONG restroom! duh! Luckily, there was nobody in there at the time…
re-giving a gift to a friend who gave you that gift! yikes!
lots of embarrassing things have happened to me, but the most recent embarrassing thing just happened last week. I was at the beach in Charleston, SC and and my friend and I decided to go to a bar on the beach to use the bathroom and grab a beer. Whenever i use public restrooms i always put toilet paper down, or i squat. later on when we went back to the beach i took my cover up off and noticed people pointing and laughing at me (seriously). i asked my friend if there was something on me. there was toilet paper stuck to my butt (caught in between my bathing suit)! apparently i was still wet from the ocean when i sat down to use the bathroom…and didn’t notice the tp. i was kind of mortified but then just laughed it off : )
Put me in the same boat as Eden.
Except mine was during my first race ever. I was just so focused I didnt really notice until after it happened. Luckily I was wearing shorts over some cold weather tights and just took the shorts off hoping no one would notice. Its the reason I never drink coffee before a race now. Gross.
Ok – I dont get embarassed by much, but a couple moments do come to mind. One cant be shared on the internet, the other happened when I was still in high school.
I used to have a horse, and he was a giant. I also used to walk to and from the barn because it was so close to my house. One day, I was at the barn and decided to try and get onto my horse from the ground. I wasnt thinking that I had snagged my pants earlier on the fence, so when I lifted my leg up to swing it over, my jeans ripped. All the way from my inner thigh, up and around to the hip. I was wearing the oldest, most unattractive, and also see-through underwear. Not only did I not have a change of clothes, it was summer and I didnt have a jacket to tie around my waist. I had to walk all the way home with my ass on display for the whole world.
Oy vey too many embarrassing moments to count! One that comes to mind is when I was riding the Metro in Paris while I was studying abroad my Freshman year of college. My friend and I hopped on and it was really packed. For some reason I couldn’t keep my balance and fell back into the crowd of people. All of the people behind me moved aside (save for the little kid I fell on) and my friend stood there in absolute hysterics.
Also, the other day I was at work at the bakery and there was a lull after the lunch rush. I was helping to train a new girl and saw that she was talking quite familiarly with someone. This someone was in a polo shirt and ball cap. I went up to her and said, “oh, is this your little brother?!” (I’m sure you can see where this one is going by now). She said to me, “no, this is my girlfriend.” Umm…oops. To be honest, I still thought she was joking with me and kind of laughed–I had no idea she was gay! It wasn’t until the girl looked up and I could see that, despite the cropped hair and small frame, she was in fact a woman. I tried to cover it up like a babbling idiot by blaming it on the clothes. So, I called her a man and insulted her sense of style. Double whammy.
When I was waitressing, during a huge event as i was carrying a full tray of beers, i slipped, fell and landed in a position where my skirt was up showing all of my skivvies…..needless to say I wanted to crawl in a hole and take a couple beers with me.
In high school I was on homecoming court and after they announced the winner my boyfriend (now husband) came down to cheer me up because I didn’t win, and when he picked me up my dress got caught in his arms and a whole lot of people saw my butt!! And not just underwear. Needless to say I was mortified..
Already following!
Hmmm….most of my embarrassing moments have to do with wiping out. I think the MOST embarrassing would be when I was walking down the hall to class with the guy I liked all throughout elementary, junior high and high school and all of a sudden I was just flat on my back on the floor. A group of girls were walking down the hall coming the opposite way and I guess neither of us were paying attention. They literally ran me over in mid sentence. And of course, the guy just kept on walking and laughing I might add. I was mortified.

I was walking back to my dorm from Pita Pit with my dinner, and I tripped palm/face first into the street. I got up and started limping to cross the street when I noticed someone was following me. Please note that this was around 7pm and in downtown San Jose (which is kind of scary to walk around by yourself especially as a girl!). So I started walking as fast as I could, but I must have looked so silly with the heavy limping. His footsteps were getting faster too! I couldn’t walk anymore so I stopped at a lamp-post and closed my eyes as I heard the person getting closer. Turns out he was only trying to see if I was okay because he had seen me fall on the street hahaha. I was so embarrassed..
Texting my mom a message that was intended for my boyfriend! It was not a picture but information my mom did not need to know!
this dates back to my senior year of highschool. my highschool has two levels with stairs. when the bell rang to switch classes, i went down the stairs and this girl stepped on my flip flop. as a result of momentum plus my 20 pound backpack, i dramatically fell down the stairs. some people stopped, some people stared, and some kept on movin. the jerks that kept walking didnt see me and basically walked over me… ugh
this guy i was obsessed with in college, one day IM’ed me on AIM and I started freaking out and I went to type to my friend “omg Jon Imed me!!” I accidently sent it to Jon…that sucked
I was looking at a friend’s wedding pictures and there was one of her and one of her bridesmaid’s. We had just been talking about how the camera captures some interesting faces, not always the most flattering. Well, her friend was making a funny face and it wasn’t particularly becoming and I said, “oh, this is an unfortunate one of her,” to which she replied, “no, she has bells palsy.” Foot. In. Mouth. Ooops! Guess that’s what I get for saying anything at all! I felt mortified and just terrible. Luckily my friend thought it was funny and chuckled.
My most embarrassing moment was when I went with my mom, my sister, and our friend, to the zoo, when I was probably around thirteen years old. I started feeling sick when we got to the gift shop, like I was going to vomit- instead I blacked out and fainted.
I was so embarrassed when I came to a minute later- a man ran up to me, saying he was a Dr., and asking me where I was and how many fingers was he holding up.
I was just annoyed at myself for embarrassing myself in public like that!
falling on the treadmill. like full on hard, face down. AWFUL
Me and my husband (boyfriend at the time) were only dating for a few weeks when we went out to a bar with a lot of his friends. I was kinda nervous to meet his friends so I decided to drink 5 beers prior to him picking me up! (ekkk) – (side note: I was wearing a pair of jeans and a tub top that evening) we get to the bar and we decide to sit at table with some of his friends. Someone made me laugh and I leaned forward and down went my tub top and exposed my bear chest to his friends!! Great introduction of myself, eh? LOL MOST embarrassing moment ever!

My friend and I went to NYC to celebrate our 24th birthdays. We were really excited because we were on our first grown-up vacation and managed to stay at the Waldorf Astoria. One night, these guys in the elevator told us about an event that they had been to and these swag bags they picked up. The guys encouraged us to go get some and told us how to get there. We did what they said and ended up getting yelled at and ushered out by organizers. We were mortified to say the least. Later, we found out Elton John had been there!
Every day is my most embarrassing moment, haha. I may have to say that my most embarrassing moment ever was when I peed myself in the middle of karate class when I was 7 or 8. And to make it worse, the teacher yelled at me to go to the bathroom (to clean up) and I just stood there crying, saying “I already went!!!” not understanding what she meant. I laugh about it now but it was mortifying at the time! I never went back to that class, haha.
Oh goodness! While hanging out and watching t.v. with my boyfriend of only a few weeks (now husband), I stood up to stretch and did a quick squat while accidentally letting out a fart. Obviously I was toootally embarrassed and had no where to go. He did marry me though.
I definitely fell up the stairs in high school when I wasn’t walking with anyone. Super embarassing!
Most embarrassing moment is biting it on a pine cone while running on a busy street. I’m sure it looked hilarious to cars passing by, me falling for no apparent reason.
I follow you and left a comment on twitter! @ wealths_health
oh geez…the other day i was in my car, stuck behind a bridge lift. due to my complete intolerance for “wasting” time/idleness, i took the opportunity to change clothes in the car rather than at my destination (i was going from the gym to the barn to ride my horse). i wriggled out of my gym shorts and into breeches, and shimmied out of my sweaty tank top…only to look over and see a bunch of high school boys in a jeep staring at me/making catcalls. AUGHGHGHHHH.
Stepping in a pile of mud during recess duty. Then walking upstairs to discover I had two observers for the rest of the day. Yep, I totally looked professional!
I remember falling on my butt during gym class. That was pretty embarrassing since I was in high school!
hmm, most embarrassing moment!! probably when I had to go up in front of the class and present the play hamlet for my 11th grade ap english class. with my group, we decided to go off script, as we would get bonus points. well, as soon as i stepped foot on stage and opened my mouth to speak, my mind went completely blank. after desperately looking around at my group, then the class, my teammates had to help me out for the duration of the performance. the pitying glances everyone kept sending me afterwards just cemented in my mind what an abject failure my performance was. the teacher had pity on me and gave me a B- for the project, im sure out of sheer concern for my mental health as anything less would have been even more embarrassing and demoralizing to me. but i will never, ever forget the feeling of being onstage, with no lines coming to mind, and a crowd of judgmental teenagers looking on in front of me. ugh!
My most embarrassing moment was tripping over a low chain in a square in the middle of Florence. Overseas fail.
It doesn’t take much to embarrass me but last year when my family and I went to visit my sister when she studied abroad in Spain, I was trying out my rusty Spanish skills. While trying to ask what was in a particular meal, I said something that translated like “Where can I pee?” My sister almost spit her sangria across the table and the waiter looked horrified…and I had NO idea why! When he walked away, she told me what I had said to him and when he came back, she apologized for me. I was mortified.

Chocolate & Wine
I was on vacation for the first time with my boyfriends family, and I laughed so hard I peed my pants. Yes, with his parents. Thank god they still kept me around
Oh, where do I start. I was on a date with my boyfriend at the time, who I’m now married to, and we were at a college football game. The weather was cold and rainy and just yucky. During half time we decided to go and get some hot chocolate. (Mind you, we’ve been together about one month by this time.) As we were walking back up the stadium steps, he was way ahead of me trying to get to our seats, my shoe got caught on the stairs and I fell. And I landed hard. I hurt my wrist trying to catch myself, twisted my ankle and my hot chocolate went flying everywhere. To make the moment even more embarrassing, a group of a about 10 girls, that I fell right in front of, pointed and laughed at me. It was so embarrassing!! My boyfriend didn’t know I had fallen until he turned around and saw me sprawled out on the stairs. And the worse thing was I couldn’t get up right away (and shake it off) because I was actually injured! And the girls just continued to point and laugh and none asked if I was OK. How this man didn’t stop seeing me then is a mystery, and thankfully I am blessed to call him my husband today. Everytime I’m on stairs out in public he always laughs about that moment and tells me to be careful! haha
On 7th grade we had to do the vault for PE (yeah, I think a bit extreme for a health class in middle school). I was petrified that I would run down the mat ad smack right into it. Our PE coach asked me if I would be willing to demonstrate (with her help) how to go over it. I ultimately think she just wanted to show me that it wasn’t that bad and I could do it… well, I’m standing there with her hand on my hips about to lift me over and she was explaining to the class where my hands should go and what my legs should be doing. (FYI: I was wearing those rip-away basketball pants that were way too long!) Well, I didn’t realize she had stepped on the bottom of my pants, as she goes to lift me up and do the demonstration… yeah, you guessed it. MY PANTS CAME DOWN and my body went over. I was in shock for a second lying on the other side of the vault with my pants around knees and quickly pulled them up. I jumped to my feet and bowed and my friends laughed and clapped for me.
I’m pretty easy going with things like that and am glad I bounced back at such a fragile age (middle school peers are no joke!)
Thinking about it, it seems like a scene from Glee or something.
I came in the Monday morning after homecoming my senior year in high school and made it through the day till 3rd period when my yearbook adviser noticed a hickey on my neck. Well she had my then boyfriend the previous year in yearbook and also had his phone number because there were frequent yearbook hiccups we came into fix after school hours, but she called him during class and told him to not leave marks on my neck anymore in the future. In front of the whole class. I was mortified. I wore thick hoodies after that hiding any marks if I had them….I don’t know if the hickeys or her calling is more embarrassing now, but I guess that’s high school for yea!
Hello! Most embarrassing moment for me (so far) was when my mother and I were in the female lingerie department of a store. She was handing me undergarments (think ‘top’) and I was telling her if they fit or not. Well, a particular top looked VERY bad on me, but my mother was insistent that I show her, just to justify my answer. So, in the midst of arguing, I opened the door in mid sentence just to prove to her how bad it looked. Of course, (story of my life), 2 not-too-bad-looking guys were sauntering past the department, heading towards the men’s section. I’m just going to add that the dressing rooms were RIGHT next to the men’s department.
My mother cracks up to this day.
I’d really love if you gave away some of those macaroons instead…
Okay, most embarassing moment time…try not to shake babycakes too hard while you contain your laughter.
I was about 12 years old and I was driving around in a golf cart for fun at my aunt’s farm. I decided it would be fun to run through a cornfield and create my own maze…I just happened to run into the farmer, and apparently, he was planning on suing whoever did the deed for ruining his crops…I never realized it was such a serious issue (being so young), and when I was “found out”, had to confront the farmer so he didn’t press charges against my Aunt!

My most embarrassing moment occurred in college. It was one of the first days of freshman year, so I was already in awkward mode. I wore a skirt for the first time in my life. And, of course, the professor decided we’d go outside and do a physical demonstration of the French Revolution. It was essentially capture the flag. I was the only girl left and totally about to win the game, when a gust of wind along with me running caught my skirt and it flew up COMPLETELY OVER MY HEAD. It was a great way to meet new friends -_-. It took a year before I wore a skirt to class again.
In High school I was on the swim team and during HS swim meets the divers would have their portion of the meet half way through our swim meet. During this time everyone sat around in complete silence (for the divers) to watch the intricate aerial acts. I was sitting on indoor cement bleachers and slowly and quietly got up to retrieve something from my bag and BAM! I slipped and tumbled all the way to the pool deck in front of an entire audience. I could here the collective GASP from everyone. By everyone, I mean a few hundred people all sitting still in silence AKA it would be hard to miss the girl in the swimsuit falling down. I actually had a huge bruise across my back for a long time and a sore tailbone for a while. But, it did not hurt as bad as the embarrassment though. YIKES!
This sounds stupid, but I always used to feel so embarrassed when I had a really long pee in the public restroom at school! Haha, I always thought the girl in the stall next to me heard my long pee and I was so embarrassed!!

I completely forgot my lines in the final scene of the school play in 7th grade. No more drama classes for me.

I usually don’t get embarrassed easily, but at a funeral a couple years ago I was the most mortified I’d ever been. The funeral consisted of a few speeches by friends of the deceased. Some of the speakers included funny little anecdotes that yielded a few laughs or giggles. During one of the speeches, the speaker made a comment that I thought was supposed to be a joke and made me laugh.1) It was not a joke, but in actuality a very touching comment. 2) I was the only one laughing (and I have a loud laugh, I might add) and everyone decided to turn around and stare… and I got a quite a few heads shaking. Needless to say, to this day I am mortified and feel terrible.
I am just starting out on Twitter, but I do believe I am following you! II need to get with the times!!
I don’t know if this is considered embarrassing or just absolutely horrifying. In high school, my poor mother walked into my bedroom while my boyfriend at the time and I were in a very…compromising position. It was unbearably embarrassing. My mom cried (but never told my father, bless her!!) and my boyfriend had to go in and apologize to her. I’m sure you can guess that “the talk” followed soon after that.
I thought of 2 more for you to laugh at:
Senior year of high school, a group of my friends went to the beach on “senior skip day”. I was walking to the water with my friend Brian, just chatting away, when all of the sudden he stopped talking and pointed to my chest. It turns out the entire time we were walking, one of my girls was completely OUT of my bathing suit top for all the world to see.
Another one, in 6th grade I was leaning back in my chair (which we were always warned not to do), when I suddenly fell back while simultaneously flipping my desk forward. It was absolutely humiliating and all of the “cool” guys starting cheering and yelling. UGH
This happened quite frequently with my husband and I when we were dating! His parents always walking in while we were in the middle or finished and not dressed yet! So yea pretty embarassing, but they are stuck with us for life! : )

freshmen year of college I had drank more than I drink now (half way through college you slow down…thank goodness) and I was walking down the back steps to the backyard of a party and I missed a step and fell face first into the middle of a group of guys standing at the bottom of them steps. I got up quickly and laughed it off, proud that my beer hadn’t spilled….oh college.
The night before my first day of high school (I went to a boarding school) I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Klutz that I am, I opened the bathroom door and walked in – but not into the bathroom, into the wall right next to it! I had this big discolored bump on my forehead the next day, so it was a great way to get to know my new classmates for the next four years of my life
well I have embarrassing moments weekly, I mean daily……..But a particularly traumatic moment was in high school during my high schools powder puff practice….my really athletically challenged self decided to get up in front of everyone and doing a running catch of the football. Legit in front of 150 girls (the “popular” ones too!) I was trying to be cool ok, considering I was also new at the school…..back to the football….I had a straight Marsha Brady moment. Football hit me smack in the middle of my forehead (thankfully not my nose!) and I fell backward—everyone was laughing—thank god I was able to laugh at myself as well…..I was so mortified and sat on the bench the entire game. sad sad tale.
Ahh!! You poor thing! Good for you for being able to laugh at yourself!
