What is your single most embarrassing moment ever? Does it beat this?

The last wedding I was at was one between my cousin Shona and her fiance Andy. My mum is a minister and she had been asked to take the wedding. Now this was a family wedding so I pretty much knew half the people there but crucially I didnt know them very well. Also, for those who dont know, my name is Sandy. This is the information you need for this story.

The ceremony went fine and at the reception we all sat down. The bride and groom, their respective parents and my mum (minister) were all at the head table. The MC called silence and said that we would have a blessing, then food, then speeches.

Cue my mother. A silent room. Eyes closed and heads bowed.

Some of you can probably already see the car crash coming.

My mum proceeded to give thanks for the marriage between 'Shona and Sandy.... um... Andy'

I quietly died. I prayed that the hall would open up and swallow me. I was CRINGING with embarrassment.

OMGOMGOMG :gth

So tell me lads and lasses... have you ever been more embarrassed than that?

Andy, I mean, Sandy ;-) If this is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you, consider yourself extremely lucky.

Al raz.

Go on Al, what has happened to you that was really emarassing? Something more embarassing than your mother marrying you to your cousin in front of all your relatives....

The day before my wedding, my entire non-drinking, non-smoking Southern Baptist family came down to New Orleans to be present for the wedding. My cousin got me so drunk and high that when I went to see the family, I passed out in front of them, and went straight to the bathroom to vomit for the next 4 hours.

haha, my guess, since it was mostly family, is that everyone already knows that your mum thinks it high time you found a nice girl to get married ;)

My mom still does similar to me sometimes, though never like that in public. I'm the oldest of my siblings by several years, yet my mom will start to call me by all my siblings' names. Once she even started to call me by the dog's name!

Most embarrassing? Hmm, not sure.

While at work one day, I got a hankerin' to rock out with some Dan Fogelberg...specifically, "Longer."

I put my headphones on, crank it up, and mellow out to Dan's soothing voice, strings, and gently plucked guitar.

About 2/3 of the way through the song, someone walks up, looks at me, and I see him say something. I can't hear him because I have my headphones on.

I take them off and immediately it hits me. My headphones weren't plugged in. Yeah, they were on my head, but I'd been BLARING "Longer" to the whole office for a couple minutes before anyone walked up and said "WTF?"

Needless to say, I got a lot of crap from my buddies at work for about a month after.

And I admit it. I'm a Dan fan. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

so, my parents were gone out to some friends and were usually out til atleast 12. so my girlfriend at the time (this was in hight school) were home doing things might make us blush now. so at 10pm we are buck naked on the couch under 2 blankets when my parents come home. she takes off in one blanket and i i grab the other and try to distract them from seeing her. so she gets to the front bathroom but her clothes are in the back bathroom and i am talking to my parents for 20 mins wearing only a blanket, and i know they knew what was going on. lickily my parents are pretty cool and always trusted me to do things the safe way but i could tell they were trying to make the conversation last longer just to keep me there. then there was the task of getting my g/f here clothes.

that one tops my list for sure. my dad still razes me about (though never infront of my current g/f obviously).

I think I got ya beat. One night after a bottle of southern comfort. I woke to my alarm clock for work. This is not necessarily so bad but where I woke was my parents living room floor. Butt ass naked.

Great idea for a thread! I can tell you a few but I'll limit them to one per post:

I was in one of the first classes to attend the fancy new Harry B. Flood Junior High School: Flood Middle School I was fairly familiar with one of the three circular "wings" and typically used the boys lavatory between second and third period. One day I had to pee between fourth and fifth period and went into the boys room in another wing. I was immediately confused by the different layout of the lavatory. Not only did this boys room have no urinals, there was an odd looking box mounted to the wall that said, "Sanitary Napkins 25 cents". I had no idea what it was or why it was there. I was fiddling with the strange vending machine when Diane Nicita walked into the tiled room, "Bradley, what the hell are you doing?" She shouted.
"What are you doing in here?" I replied.
"This is the girls room you idiot" and suddenly all my questions were answered except, why are the boys and girls room reversed in the English wing and the Science wing?

You know, the story of how I was in the girl's room playing with the "rag box" made it completely around the school before I got to my next class.

I doubt it Quick. I was sitting next to my wife of five years at the time! :)

About 40 years ago I was doing ironwork (structural steel erection) and we were putting up conveyor sections at a cement plant. They came in by rail and we were loading two sections side by side onto flat bed semi trailers to distribute them close to where they were to be erected. The conveyor sections we had been landing on the trucks were a few feet shorter then the bed of the truck at about 35 feet.

I was on the flat bed with another fellow landing the sections. We landed a longer section that extended past the end of the trailer by a few feet. We cut it loose from the crane and as the next load came in I was walking backwards as I signaled the crane. Out of the corner of my eye I was noting the distance by the length of the conveyor section we had just landed knowing that I wouldn't run out of flatbed and would end up at the end of the truck. This had worked well for a few loads until we landed the conveyor that extended past the end of the flatbed. So I am booming the rig down and walking backwards forgetting that this was a longer section I stepped off the end of the truck, flipped over and landed on the top of my head. :gaah:

Thankfully my hardhat stayed on or I would have undoubtedly sustained serious injury. I was laying there dazed and I heard the sound of feet running towards me. I recall the thought going through my mind that I hoped no one had seen me fall and I jumped up and staggered around a bit.

My coworkers seeing that I wasn't badly hurt started razing me right off the bat. Saying it is a good thing you didn't land on your feet and that sort of thing. Back in those days hard hats had metal clips to secure the liner and one of them had torn my fore head open requiring a stitch,. That a bad headache and a sore neck were all the injury I sustained besides feeling like an idiot. :o

I think all mums do that.

When I was 14 and just started sleeping without pajamas I, not normally a sleep walker, woke up standing stark naked in the kitchen while my Mum was having tea with a friend. I just pretended to be asleep and turned right back around.

When i was 15 and at army cadet summer camp learning to SCUBA dive, I got pantsed, skivies and all, in front of the whole platoon which was 50% female.

It just gets worse year after year.

I dont understand what you mean by this x. What does 'pantsed' mean? Or is it a typo?

Being "pantsed" is when, while you are standing, someone sneaks up behind you (usually behind you) and pulls your pants off. Often, just the pants are removed, but an enthusiastic pantsing will frequently remove the underwear as well.

I was confused by the use of the word pants (ie pants/trousers). I understand now. I dont think we have a word for it. We have wedgies, but you must have them too.

Perhaps you need more belt wearing? :thinking:

:OT A lot of kids around these parts wear there trousers where they are half way pulled down as a matter of style. They have even made laws against it in some municipalities. :shrug: Looks dumb to me but if I was a kid I'd probably be wearing mine that way too.

Forgive me, in sunny south Florida in the USA. Here is an example of what I am referring to and here is the backlash.

:roflmao

I understand now. That is too good. I particularly like (taken from Jimmy's second link)

"Be careful if you have saggy pants in the south Chicago suburb of Lynwood.

Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $US25 ($25.70) fines against anyone showing three inches (7.62 centimetres) or more of their underwear in public.


Eugene Williams is the mayor of Lynwood. He said young men walk around town half-dressed, keeping major retailers and economic development away."



Yeah thats right folks you heard it here first. The current global financial crisis is due to the current fashion for young men to wear their trousers low. :rofl2:
