Embarrasing Moments.

[U-15]

Things you said or did and wished you hadn't.

I was having my lunchtime pint and chip butty in one of the pubs in Wolverhampton.
Whilst returning my glass to the bar I accidentally nudged a shapely blonde, in tight jeans and long golden hair all the way down her back.

Being a gentleman, I said "sorry love", and the reply came back in a quiet but deep male voice "sorrite", (translated as it's alright).

Making a hasty retreat to the exit I heard his companion, probably his wife, say "See, I told you you should have had your haircut"

[mapuc]

I had a similar "event"

It happened under my time in the military my friends and I was in some local pub/discotheque. During my visit there I noticed a young blonde woman good looking.

Every time I was at the desk to order a new drink I noticed her and we exhanged eye contact.

Gee maybe I'm lucky and......

Later in the evening I had to visit the men's room and just I opened the door, there stood on two legs holding his.... my blonde good looking woman....

I had nightmares for a whole month...what if.....

Is this share your awkward transvestite encounters?
I'm possibly still a person of interest in Luxemburg after my encounter with a transvestite bartender.

I knew she was a man or that he was a woman the entire time. Only she made good drinks and my goal for the evening was a bit of heavy intoxication and a visit to the local broth...I mean zoo. Well seems this lady boy bartender put some manner of drug in my drink as I went on a really interesting trip luckly my pals drinks had not been laced so they keep me somewhat contained. I'm told that I destroyed a city police camera which ended a rather interesting evening at the zoo.

The Luxemburg law enforcement never got me for their camera thanks to my cat like skills of evasion which I honed sneaking off base in Turkey. That is another interesting series of tales suffice it to say you can find a lot to do in Istanbul.

Was in a Bar once with friends from High School.
A good looking lady was interested in me but I didn't know her name at the time.
We guys started talking about the girls that were beatches.
I named one I hated alot.
The drink in my face just seconds after that told me who the Good looking Lady was!!

How to p.ss people off in a pub.
On the way home from work.. stop at the pub to have a beer.
A few beers later, after talking to this 'middle aged' couple about things in general that drinkers talk about... she asked me.
'We're part of a swinging club, would you and your wife like to join ?'

Mann!!.. I was so shocked I just blurted out... "No ways !! that's a one way trip to 'crab-city' "
They denied this.. I back-pedalled, trying to recover the apparent insult I'd just publically announced.. and they finished their drinks and left.

Afterwards I thought .. 'Tossers, if they cannot take criticism.. '
Maybe I should have told them that my private life is a personal thing and I'm not into voyeurism.

40 odd years ago when I was a keen cyclist, I accidentally ended up on the A38(M) motorway, (prohibited to cyclists for the benefit of non UK readers), as I was slip-streaming a coach.

Head down over the handlebars and legs pumping hard, I was bowling along at about 30mph, when I missed the turn-off for non-motorway traffic, and found myself in the outside lane.
Luckily it was a quiet time of day and nothing serious happened.

I suppose Jimbuna would have thought "now, there's an arresting sight" :woot:

[Eichhörnchen]

Some years ago (thankfully) my wife's friend told her during a phone conversation how she was preparing to return to an abusive partner. I pronounced loudly upon her, saying that she was "odd" (among other things). My wife was telling me not to be so harsh when she discovered that the line to her friend's phone was still live: she'd heard every word. "I'm glad someone's still on my side", the girl said before hanging up.:oops::oops::oops:

[Jimbuna]

I suppose Jimbuna would have thought "now, there's an arresting sight" :woot:

More likely "I wonder how long I'll be controlling oncoming traffic whilst the body snatchers are picking up the pieces and tidying the area up"? :)

[U-15]

Another instance from my cycling days.

Me and another cycling mate went for a ride down a disused colliery line near where we lived.
Bostin for a pee, I had a quick look round in both directions along the path to make sure nobody was coming, unzipped and then started to pee.

I had a strange sensation that I was being watched, and on raising my head skywards to the top of the steep bank that bordered the path, there was a young couple watching this torrent about 10 feet below them.

The urgent need to pee suddenly abated, I just muttered a few embarrassed words and quickly got back on the bike.

Of course, my mate thought it was hilarious.

[Sailor Steve]

Of course, my mate thought it was hilarious.
Of course. That's what friends are for.

[U-15]

Of course. That's what friends are for.

I know Steve, even if your own memory fades, you can always rely on your mates to come up with some moment you'd rather forget.

Like the time, a group of us went to the preserved Severn Valley Railway line at Arley.

I poked my head over the bridge just as a steam train was passing underneath.
I caught the full force of the exhaust from the chimney.
I turned round to face my mates who were already in stitches at my black face.
Even more raucous laughter when I took my glasses of, and was immediately referred to as Sooty (a tv glove puppet from them days).

[Armistead]

Years ago cheating on my girlfriend with my aerobics instructor in my second story apt where we lived together. She pulled up and fast thinking I got the girl into the AC return, opened it up, moved filter and in she went...closed. It was built into a closet with sheetrock....I couldn't get my gf to leave and she would cut ac down and I would cut it up....I guess almost a hour past and the girl came out......it wasn't fun....

Worse, after that break up, got back together and got married.....didn't last long either......The stupidity of youth......

[Oberon]

Cycling is it?

I used to help my Mum out when she worked as a cleaner at the local bird reserves visitor center, it was an early morning get up but the journey there through the woodlands was stunning. She drove a moped and I cycled, obviously since she was capable of higher speeds than my very out of shape body could propel me, she'd go on ahead and wait for me to catch up.
Well, one day on one of those catching up points, I hit a small bump in the road which was enough to unbalance me and put me on the deck. Nothing too serious, and I was up and going again in short order and we had a good laugh about it.
The next day, we approached the same point and she turns to me and says "Now don't fall off this time" and I, chagrined replied "Yeah, yeah, yeah." and cycled off...and promptly crashed in exactly the same bloody spot. :/\\!!

[Jimbuna]

Pre marriage days/30+ years ago I was courting a real beauty of Norwegian stock who lived at a place called Seaton Delaval about ten miles up the coast from me.

It was a warm summers day and we decided to go for a drive further north up the coastline to a place called Druridge Bay, not far from RAF Boulmer. This location is well known locally for the high sand dunes on the seaward side of the road that runs parallel with the beach and the sea.

We walked up one of the dunes to look at the sea and those below us enjoying a pleasant day out at the seaside. Being a lot younger and therefore more likely to take risks, one thing led to another *cough* and part way through the act one could here the sound of a helicopter approaching, pretty soon followed by the sound of neither it approaching or moving away but in fact of it hovering. I looked up and less than 100 or so feet above us was the winchman waving at us.

I used to often wonder if there were a photograph or two pinned to some notice board at the base of two young lovers throwing wild abandon to the winds 'literally'.

[Schroeder]

@Oberon
You should take that as an example of British precision. You could hit the very same spot twice without much of an effort after all.:sunny:

I've heard plenty of lubrication can be of great effect to prevent the wearing of moving parts.

Oh, more embarrassing for them than me. I was walking the river and two kids from the neighborhood on down, guessing 16 or so were obviously having sex on a large sandbar. Bear got there first and I couldn't see, but he was doing his loud people bark and I ran worried. The two kids couldn't get fully dressed, girl just had a towel around her and guy had rushed his shorts on. Finally figured they threw their clothes behind a bush. Bear went back there and guess he liked the girls panties and got them and ran off. It's his game of play, wants to be chased....get close to him and he'll take off....I asked her if I could get them did she want them back and she was so red in face.....said no...Anyway, I left them and reminded them at their age I hoped they were using condoms.....

[Platapus]

About 10 years ago, my office was holding a Christmas party at work. As part of the party, there would be a "white elephant" gift exchange.

I like these a lot, but I now that different people have different ideas about how it works. So to be sure, I talked to the woman organizing it and verified that what was expected was cheap, tacky, and embarrassingly funny gifts. She said absolutely, the tackier and funnier the better. So I chose accordingly.

At the gift exchange I pulled a rather high number. Who cares, it is all silly fun.... until it started. :o

Person 1 picked a gift and it was a serious legitimate and not exactly cheap present. Yikes, well there is always one person who does not get the game. I am sure that the rest of the gifts would follow the "official" rules.

Person 2 pulled out another pricy gift ut oh

Person 3 yup the same. These were all serious gifts. Nice gifts.... and then there was mine. There were two problems

1. There were several senior managers participating
2. Because I had a high number there was little chance that I could "accidentally" choose my own gift so the joke would be on me

As more and more people pulled out legitimate gifts, the panic became uncontrollable so I left the room and actually ran out of the building, I was so embarrassed. :oops:

You see, just the weekend before this office party, we hosted our own Christmas party at my house where we also had a white elephant gift exchange. The only difference was that my friends understood that it needed cheap, tacky, and humorously embarrassing gifts.

I used the gift I got stuck with from my party for my office party. After all the package of Depends in the extra large size got a lot of laughs when I opened it at my party. :oops::oops::oops::oops:

To this day, I still don't know who opened up the gift I left. Since I work in a small industry, I still work around most of these people.

Yikes I had never socially panicked like that.

[nikimcbee]

^:up:
Speaking of gift exchanges, the only ones I had ever done were prank gift exchanges. (nothing serious)
When I got re-married, my wife's family takes xmas really seriously. For their gift exchange, they were all giving nice gifts, until someone opened up a package and got a can of soup!:hmmm::D
OMFG, my MiL and SiL vere so pissed off!
"Who did this?! This is NOT funny!"

I got really quiet.:hmph:

[Eichhörnchen]

I wasn't the embarrassed party here, but the story's still worth telling:

Pre married life, my old Mum and I were staying in the US with my elder sister. We were all on our way out of a Stationers' shop in a mall when my mum suddenly began rummaging in a small box which had been placed by the till: she'd spotted it was full of assorted dicounted odds and ends and was hoping to find a novelty eraser for my younger sister's collection back home.

The shop girl asked whether she needed any help, to which this little old lady replied, without looking up, "Have you got any rubbers?"

When i was seeing my girlfriend (now wife) for the second time I had a bad chesty cough. We were sat at her place drinking red wine and I had just taken a mouthful when, without warning, I coughed a spray of red wine all over her face, neck, coffee table and carpet. Fortunately she was ok about it and to my surprise even wanted to see me again! She still reminds me of it today.:oops:

Not a personal one, but still embarrassing I'd wager.

My old mum caught me doing something once (not that; she never caught me doing that).

I got home from the pub, late, no key. Never mind, I'll climb through the little window at the side: I had my beer-goggles on so it wouldn't be a problem. Only one thing though: windows all freshly painted today. Mustn't get paint on new jeans.

Off they came, but as I was halfway in, teetering half-naked on the tiny ledge, the light came on and there she was, all tiny in her dressing-gown and slippers, regarding me with those half-closed eyes.

[Harvs]

When I was 19 I was working in a Veterans Hospital in the laundry, I bent over to push a laundry trolley up a ramp and put out a disc in my lower back, I was sent to the staff doctor and was told to take a seat and wait for my turn, the waiting area was full of young nurses just starting and had to have a medical for employment, I gingerly sat on the edge of the seat and pushed myself back so I could support my back, what sounded like a brontosaurus farting filled the room as my bum slid along the vinyl seat cushion, looking up, every eye was on me, who will believe me if I said it was the chair? I looked back down at the floor and didn't make eye contact with anyone till my name was called.:yep:

I was leaving a shop today where you always get hassled on the way out by a woman selling windows. I was ready for it today and before the girl waiting at the exit could speak, I assured her I didn't need any new windows; mine were all renewed five years ago.

"I can't sell you any windows", she said... I'm a lawyer.

Just recently, well last Friday I had to walk into one of those adult stores to pick up some pipe tobacco. I generally try to avoid those places at all costs as I feel like a creep going in there and I have no need to buy anything in one of those establishments. Anyways I get what I need and I'm about to bail the hell out of there when I look over and saw one of my old classmates with a considerable stack of "movies". We exchanged brief eye contact, I nodded his direction, then walked briskly away without looking back. It's not that I have a problem with people buying those sorts of things, it's just that there are certain parts of a person's private life I don't want to get to know. Needless to say we didn't talk to each other at our class reunion party. :haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

I was just wondering: we've got these "E-cigarettes" now... has anyone produced an "E-pipe" yet?

Awkward? Embarrassing? That's actually a pretty good question. I never thought of it until you mentioned it.

E-Cigars?

[Eichhörnchen]

I think that E-technology has probably passed that particular generation by; I have just one friend now who smokes a pipe, and he has only the most tenuous grasp on life :haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

I was once an Army Cadet Platoon Sergeant (kind of a Dad's Army for boys) and returning to the drill hall from manouevres one Summer evening, we approached a layabout who called out "Left-right-left-right". I halted the platoon and walked up to him, getting right inside his personal space.

I had no idea what his reaction might be, but he calmly lit up a fag and walked away...

[mako88sb]

Hmm. This is definitely my most embarrassing moment ever story that happened about 30 yrs ago when I was still working in the shipping/receiving department. We have this old Scotchman who worked for us who was the biggest practical joker I've ever seen. He once made a rocking chair for our Newfie foreman for example that rocked sideways instead of back-n-forth just to give you an idea of what he was like.

My embarrassing moment started when I happened to walk by him and he gave me a quick pat on the back. I know, that should of set my spidey senses a tingle-ling but I was in a hurry to deliver some packing slips to the main office. Before entering the office, I happened to notice one of the welders give me a funny look. Hmm. A clue that something was amiss but of course, busy as I was, I ignored it. I entered the office and walked quite some distance to deliver my stuff and I kept noticing these odd looks I was getting while doing so. I dropped off the packing slips and headed back to the shop all the time getting more and more strange looks. What the heck is going on? I get back into the shop and every tradesman is standing there with big grins on their faces that stopped me in my tracks. "What's with you guys" I asked. One of them points to his back. I looked as best I could at mine and to my horror, realized that the old Scotsman had pinned a pair of fake vacuum-formed boobs on the back of my coveralls. AArghhh!! I had been up front with all these secretary's and big-wigs around with these things on the whole time. Arghh! I told the old Scotsman about this and he just laughed saying that was an unexpected bonus. I could of killed him but truth was I soon found myself laughing as much or more about how good he got me.:rotfl2::har::rotfl2:

It had me wondering, for sure :haha: Why is it always eating with them when they come back to life anyway? None of them ever seems to wake up with the urge to go swimming all the tome, or singing or something...
