I'm getting distracted by sexy avatars..........................

  I think I may have written this here before so forgive me if I'm repeating myself. Hiking up Mt. Seymour in itty bitty shorts. I fell down, ripped both sides and had to walk down the mountain with two pink cheeks showing. You forget how many people actually hike up and down the mountain after a while.

  What about you, Ms. purelife?

thank you PL
nother one
was going on a road trip.  Decided ( as a female) to fuel up..make sure the washer fluid was topped up...and to make sure the oil was filled.....
Problem is...I poured in my four litre of oil...and the dang vehicle still took it all....but I didn't have any more oil...so I figured..yeah..well...four litres should do anyways...so off I went...
three hours into the drive...climbing a hill doing a hundred....the vehicle filled with black smoke.
Hmmm....oil had blown outta everywhere...emergency oil change needed...done...by two of the guys that I was travelling with in another vehicle.
so I get to my destination...and notice that the vehicle is running really rough....pop the hood...and come to find...that one of the guys...hadn't tightened the cap on the oil...and that it had come lose...and I had lost the majority of the oil from the emergency oil change....
the moral of the story...do not FILL your oil...and check your cap...even after a guy has been dickering with your vehicle.......
oh and........
YES TOYOTA'S GO ON AND ON AND ON........

 That happened to me several times in jr high school.  I wasn't astute enough to recognize the signs and symptoms of something starting, so I would be caught unprepared without a change of clothes.  It was mortifying.
 
 Lost my bathing suit bottoms diving into swimming pools.  As a teenager, you feel so embarassed, but I doubt anyone noticed, since I would fix them under water before re-surfacing.
 
 I got embarassed a lot as a kid, but I don't think I care any more.
 
 I've had numerous slip and fall episodes.
 
 After I had kids, I was too cheap to buy different sizes of nursing bra (since it's such a temporary thing), so the undergarments were somewhat loose after a while.  Every time I bent over, a nursing pad would fall out of my shirt and onto the floor.  I used to pick it up (off the floor of the bank), throw it in the stroller basket, and off we'd go.
 
 I used to be terrified about the idea of farting in front of someone.  I still use the "crop duster" method in public, where you keep walking as you let one out.  But at home, I just fart and laugh.

In University a long time ago,  I gone to three of my classes that day with my shirt inside out, before I realized it was.  Nobody mentioned it and no wonder people kind of was looking at me in a weird way.

One time, during gym class, when I was really new to my "monthly" visitor, I wore these papertowels.  I'd fold them up in a comfortable shape so that I could wear them in case I would still continue getting my period even though it was already completed.  After running around outside, my paper towel slipped out of my gym shorts.  I quickly picked it up and hoped that no other females were looking.  I think that one popular girl saw it but didn't say anything.  Thank goodness.

  I went swimming one time and didn't realize how loose my bathing suit was at the breast level.  I'd go in the water and my boobs were just showing.  I didn't notice until some stranger had pointed it out to me that my top part was loose. OMG, embarrassing.  I ran into the bathroom and then asked the front desk for a safety pin.

  A roommate saw my bottom part when I was just getting out of the shower.  I had thought that I had locked the door but then when I was starting to put my clothes on, the door opens.  That was freaking embarrasing and I was terribly horrified!

I get embarassed if people catch me sitting on the can.  
Title: Re: Your "embarrassing" moments story
Post by: purelife on Mar 28 07 10:29
Same here Lil Me.  I think that it's more of an uncomfortable feeling for me.  I'm a very private person and for someone to see something that they shouldn't have, I feel terrible.

  I balled my eyes out when that male roommate saw me.  
Title: Re: Your "embarrassing" moments story
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 28 07 10:40
I know whatcha mean.  A male roommate caught be sitting on the toilet once.  It was horrible.
 
 Guys don't get embarassed about things like that.  I have to keep reminding the males in my family to close the bathroom door! (+turn on the fan, +flush)

My former wife threw a surprise B-Day party for me. I came home, walked in and she is 'pretending' to be all upset.

"Oh, there is a water pipe leaking and our basement is flooding", etc. I was having a hectic day as it was and I was not in the mood for that.

I walk downstair "F***IN' SON OF A FU**! SHI***** Mother F****!!!!" Not yelling at her, just yelling in general. We just gone through some plumbing issues before this. I get downstairs, turn on the lights "Surprise!". My family, her family, friends, etc... I was a little embarrased by my toilet mouth!

Title: Re: Your "embarrassing" moments story
Post by: Devil on Mar 28 07 11:21
nope. But I think you are thinking of another story. It wasn't a B-day surpise. But me dissing something loudly and not knowing they were in the next room.

(darn, I should be watching my mouth more).

 Oh this one I actually witness

It was a rainy day in Vancouver, was walking down a street in downtown (can't remember now)

This guy was trying to cross the street  (jaywalking in the middle of the street)

There was a puddle at the side of the street, so he tried to avoid that by jumping over it.

When he landed, he sank down to his knees.. turns out there was a big hole in the street




Embarassing for him

Oh wow!  I hope that he was okay.  That wouldn't have been good for his knees.

 I remember when I was working at the Returning Office for our Provincial elections.  I was not terribly knowledgable about computers.  I could follow a simple program with 'step by step how to's for dummies' how to play solitaire and my graphics program  but that was IT.  (hubby managed everything else at home, so I was lazy about learning because I didn't have to)

  Anyways....I had a wee error while trying to send off the election results.  I ummm....lost them.

Needless to say, head office was on the phone immediately.

  Amazingly enough, I haven't even gotten to the embarrassing part yet.

  In his attempt to walk me through the necessary procedure (as to not have to have another election), he said......"Do you know where my computer is?" (which I really did...but just wasn't making the connection because I was in a major state of panic).........and I said "How the hell would I know where your computer is" [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]

I said "Hey, you're pregnant!" to a friend who gained weight. I bumped into her recently and she looks fabulous. She works out at the gym regularly now. Heh.

Post by: purelife on Mar 29 07 08:41
That's funny how you mentioned that, Lise.

My co-worker who has a bigger tummy than usual (due to medical pokings and feeling bloated) had another female ask her how many months pregnant she was.  The other lady was soo flustered and embarrased that she wasn't at all pregnant.  Since hearing that, my coworker is working harder to get her tummy down.  She's trying hard though... I'm like that too when my mom told me how much fatter I got.  I've been working extra extra hard trying my best to sweat off those extra fat and calories.  :)

a relative of mine was pulled into the Security Office at the grocery store.  Seems they "caught her shoplifting" on camera.  A lipstick had fallen into her purse, and she had no idea it was there.

One of my embarrassing moments was when I slipped on the ice and groceries were rolling everywhere in the street.  Traffic stopped and people were helping gather them up for me.

One of my most embarassing moments was throwing up on the plane. It was southwest airlines and I didn't want rasins for breakfast.  I had peanuts.... and orange juice.  The two didn't mix well apparently, and I barfed all over my souveniers from Sea World. My beloved penguin. It went everywhere in the plane and to make it worse it was up at the front of the plane.

many years ago, I pulled into a serve serve gas station to fill a rental car....I didn't know the gas cap was behind the rear license plate and had to ask other patrons after walking around the car several times looking.

Last week I had a bad day at the office.  Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job.  As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea.  I wear a suit to the office.  It's a wetsuit.

This time of year the water is quite cool.  So here's what we do to keep warm: We have a diesel-powered industrial water heater.  This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea.  It heats it to a delightful temp.  It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose which is taped to the air hose.  Now this sounds like a damn good plan, doesn't it?  I've used it several times with no complaints.

When I get to the bottom and start working, what I do is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my neck and flood my whole suit with warm water.  It's like working in a Jacuzzi.  Everything was going well until my ass started to itch.  So, of course, I scratched it.  This only made things worse.  Within a few seconds my itchy ass started to burn.  I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done.

In agony I realized what had happened.  The hot-water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.  This is even worse than poison ivy under a cast.  I had put that hose down my back, but I don't have any hair on my back, so the jellyfish couldn't get stuck to my back.  My ass crack was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my ass.  I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communications system.  His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he and 5 other divers were laughing hysterically.

Needless to say I aborted the dive.  I was instructed to make 3 hellish in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before I could reach the surface for my chamber dry decompression.  I got to the surface wearing nothing but my brass helmet.  My suit and gear were tied to the bell.  When I got on board, the medic, with tears of laughter streaming down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to coat my ass when I got in the chamber.  The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't shit for two days because my a**hole was swollen shut.

We've since modified the equipment to filter out most sea creatures.

Anyway, the next time you have a bad day at the office, think of me.  Think about how much worse your day would be if you were to squash a jellyfish on your ass.  I hope you have no bad days at the office.  But if you do, I hope this will make it more tolerable.

[FONT size=4]OMG[/FONT]....that is a hilarious story kingy.  That is without a doubt the best 'work story' ever.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c040.gif" border=0]

  As you know I wear a suit....a wet suit.....under the sea ????

  What do you mean 'as you know'.  What DO you do kingy?  I'm intrigued.

I have had so many embarrassing incidents, it's hard to pick the "most" embarrassing. But here's a contender.

  Me and a friend were smoking hash like there was no tomorrow (as usual) and playing chess (badly as usual). My buddy's gf said "ok, see you guys later, I'm takin' the dog for a walk."

  We nod, and go back to our game and our smoke. An hour later, the dog walks in, and I start to say "Hi, dog." But as I get the "Hi" out, the gf walks in, and I'm trying to think how to modify what is going to be the greeting "Hi dog" into something acceptable. I've got about a tenth of a second, and the alternative doesn't look too good "Hi dog, and (say Mary)". Hi dog, and Mary just isn't gonna cut it, so I end up saying "Hi dogs."

  And then nobody said anything. We never referred to it.

No word of a lie- this happened to my good friend:
 
 She had listed her condo with a real estate agent, who had keys and would often bring prospective buyers around during the day.  One evening, she returned home from work to see the agent and client leaving the condo and giving her funny looks.  ??? she thought.  Then she went into the bathroom and spotted the dildo left out on the counter.
 
 OOOPPPS.
